G-A’s Nihon Car has been given the #4 slot on Ray Wert‘s top car sites list, which was published today in the New York Times. According to Ray, “From kei-cars to Hello Kitty, Nihon Car is the one-stop site for Japan-related automotive and motorbike news. Written by two Japan-based expatriates, it regularly beats the big auto magazines on [...]

More Than Blings the Ear
Joel sent me this clever gift idea for those that have been stumped over what to buy the “girly-girl” on their shopping list… Riptopia, the service that converts CD collections to digital media for people who either don’t have the patience or don’t have the hardware, has also been selling pre-loaded iPods for some time. From November 1st through January 15th, [...]
A Message From DualCor…
To say that there has been a lot of speculation and misinformation circling the DualCor cPC would be an understatement. To cut through the rumors, I went straight to the source and spoke with Rob Howe, President and COO of DualCor, on October 23, 2006. After our phone conversation, I emailed him the notes I had [...]
The Gomadic Double Chargers With Tip Exchange Technology Review
Over the last year I have grown incredibly spoiled when I travel because I no longer need to pack a tangle of “spaghetti”; instead, I bring along a set of Gomadic Charging Cables. The same single cable charges my PDA, mobile phone and digital music player. It can charge Sarah’s phone and Sarah’s digital music [...]
Have You Been Bejeweled?
I would like to conduct a bit of an experiment and gather some information, which will most likely eventually end up in a future Gear Diary article. It involves the game Bejeweled – specifically the mobile version available from Astraware. I have heard stories from a variety of people that this is the one game that they [...]
Unboxing the Universal — O2 Exec Version
The HTC Universal is the device-of-a-thousand-names: i-mate JasJar, O2 XDA Exec, QTek 9000, SPV M5000, and HAL 9000 for all I know. It’s a hefty (10.2 oz/290 g), big (5.2″ x 3.1″ x 0.93″), hi-res (640×480 VGA), versatile (3G/GRPS, wifi, bluetooth, 1.3 Mp camera, Window Mobile 5), expensive ($1000 retail–go to eBay!) SmartPhone/PDA/convergent device with [...]
Someone Just Got a New iPod…
…and it wasn’t me! Ha! Jenneth just bought a brand new 80GB iPod, and seeing her unbox it is almost as fun as getting my own. Almost. Okay, maybe not anywhere near as fun. When is my Zune supposed to be arriving?! Check out the full unboxing here.
Larry’s Hermes Will Never Be So BLUE!
Larry at Palm Is Life is my hero! Evidently I wasn’t the only one that wasn’t thrilled with the blue backlights in the Hermes keyboard. But instead of just mentioning it in a review, Larry did something about it! Once again he has cracked his Hermes’ hood and tinkered until things were exactly as he wanted; [...]
Project: Doug’s Dream Device
As the owner of a Tapwave Zodiac, I’m pretty far behind the curve (or way ahead, depending on how you look at it) with regard to PDA/handheld/UMPC/convergent device development. I love these gadgets, mind you, but the last time I went to buy one I found such a dearth of Palm OS devices (you can [...]
All Boxed Up, With Somewhere To Go!
I’ll be honest, I will miss it…but it is time for the HTC Hermes / Dopod 838 Pro and its gorgeous Vaja case to go to a new owner. I even managed to dig out an old-school Vaja leather bag to wrap the case in. I am sure the new owner will find a use or two [...]
Double the DualCor = Double the Fun!
I just received a brand new DualCor cPC with updated hardware and software. I believe that this is considered version 0.9, which means that the release model should follow shortly. I’ll share the unboxing with you now, and post some of the new features later.
Dear Gear Diary…
I often get tech-related questions that I think more than one person would benefit from hearing the answer to, so I have decided to start a new feature. Once a week (or so) I will pick one or two emails I’ve received from readers and post them with my answers. Of course, my advice is [...]
Would You Like a Samsung i320 With Those Fries?
Well this is really exciting: Matthew Miller, aka palmsolo, is giving away the Samsung i320 he received at Mobius! He has also written a review about the device that those interested will defintiely want to check out…
The Vaja Motorola Q Classic MO111 Case Review
The Motorola Q is a very thin, yet wider than usual Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone which was designed to be held to the user’s face when making calls. It also sports a full QWERTY keyboard for thumb-typing and a bright 2″ wide x 1.5″ tall screen. Making a case that would keep the screen from [...]
TCPMP: Doug Reveals All
There are two ways to do video conversion from your DVD to a file for viewing on your PDA: direct from the DVD, or by ripping the DVD first and then converting the ripped file. I have found that the best bet is to rip the DVD first. This has two advantages: it saves wear [...]
