iTab, iSlate- I Don’t Care What You Call It… I Want One
I have been more than a bit quiet about the whole hubbub surrounding the potential for Apple announcing a tablet sometime in 2010. Part of it has to do with the fact that I’ve gotten so caught up in the rumors in the past… only to be disappointed each time. I don’t like being disappointed [...]

Expanding The Sandisk Sansa Clip
Some time ago, I had the opportunity to review the Sandisk Sansa Clip. It is a great, little music player, which is ideal for runners and other individuals who do not need constant access to the screen. My only complaint about this player was that it has limited internal memory and no opportunity for expansion. [...]
Review: Myvu Crystal 701 Personal Media Viewer
Even though the screen is small, I enjoy watching video on my iPhone and iPod Touch. No, it will never match the experience of watching a movie on a 50 inch hi-definition LCD, but it is more than merely functional- it is a pleasant experience. I’ve had my eye on Myvu’s various offerings for some [...]
Nextar T30 portable media player is slim and slick
Right out of the box I could not believe how compact and lightweight the new T30 portable media player from Nextar is.
Review: The Sony Walkman…Now With Bluetooth
There it was. At last! Writ large upon the outer wrapping of the new Sony NWZ-A828K Digital Media Player (which most of you will know as a Walkman). There were the words I have longed to hear from a media player for so many years. The box read: WIRELESS. Enjoy music wirelessly with the supplied [...]

Also, this MP3 Player is a Open Source fanatics [...]
Orb on Three X-Series
Part of the X-Series offer on Three is Orb, the video streaming application that lets you access your media files from practically anywhere that you have a decent internet connection. I’ve never really tried it before, but this seemed the perfect opportunity. With my daily train commute, what could be better than catching up on [...]
The Archos 604 WiFi Review
Rounding off my list of the three personal media players (PMPs) that I plan to review–I’ve already done the Cowon A2 and the Creative Zen Vision W–it’s time for the Archos 604 WiFi. (I didn’t do an unboxing on this one, kids; sorry, I’ve just been too durn busy with “real” work.) The Archos has [...]
Creative Zen Vision W Unboxing
After my disappointing experience with the Cowon A2 –and yup, I did return it–but still determined to see if a personal media player (PMP) can be a good thing to have around, I decided to give the Creative Zen Vision W a try (I’m still on the waiting). Once again, the basic specs of the [...]
The Cowon A2 Personal Media Player Review
This has been a very, very difficult review for me to write. Most gadgets, I find I either like them, or dislike them, or just feel kind of “eh” about them. The Cowon A2, on the other hand, arouses some pretty powerful conflicting feelings in me. I’ll try to give you all a full idea [...]
Cowon A2 Unboxing
I recently got a “Thanks for all your good work!” bonus from one of my contracts as I was eased out the door, and couldn’t wait to spend it on something. So, being a gadget fiend, I had to spend some of it on a gadget, of course. As folks who read here regularly may [...]
