Mitchell and I will soon be doing reviews on the Spectec SDIO WLAN 802.11b and the miniSDIO WLAN 802.11b cards, which just arrived today. Although this was exciting enough in and of itself, since we are each using a non-WiFi enabled Palm Treo these days (750v for Mitchell, and 700wx for me), there was something else on the [...]

The Ultimate Theft Alert v3 Review
Ultimate Theft Alert is an application that runs hidden in the background and monitors the SIM card in your Windows Mobile Phone Edition device. It is designed to send an SMS message from your phone in the event that the SIM card is changed. Installation is just like a regular Windows Mobile application, but configuration [...]
Accessories Are Easy
Jerry’s question posted in the Smartphone Thoughts Forum was: Are any of you thinking of buying anyone (or have you already bought) a Smartphone for a Christmas present? As you know it is not as simple as buying say, an iPod or a Camera. There is that activation aspect to the whole thing and what [...]

Ambient Umbrella – Is it All Wet?
Allen just sent a link for an upcoming product from Ambient Devices, the aptly named Ambient Umbrella… According to the info sheet: If rain is forecast, the handle of this umbrella glows so you won’t forget it. The Forecasting Umbrella tunes into AccuWeather.com predictions for your specific geographic location. Ambient’s proprietary data-radio in the handle receives accuweather.com information [...]
The Presto Service and HP Printing Mailbox Review – Part One
My ex’s grandfather is 88 years old. Papa, as we call him, was stationed in Pearl Harbor and Saipan during World War II, and to this day he won’t ride a plane because of experiences during the war. This means that he doesn’t travel anywhere unless it is accessible by car or rail. Papa has [...]
Survey Says!
Not too long ago, I told you about a survey run by Spb Software House. They were gathering information on Pocket PC usage and demographics. Well, the results are in! According to Spb’s results, women were a little bit better represented this time – but were still only 7% of the respondents. I guess that’s better than [...]

Another Leaked Apple “iPhone” Picture Appears…
Heck, at this point I don’t know if this thing is real or not, but some anonymous tipster has decided to send another, even clearer picture to aMobileMe – this one shows how the vague touchpad at the bottom of the phone changes depending upon the use. Real? Fake? Really Fake? You decide.
The Logitech Harmony 890 Universal Remote Control Review
Well, I did it. I didn’t think I would, at least for a while, but I did it. I bought the big screen LCD TV, I bought the DVD player, I bought the AV receiver and home theater speakers, and I ordered digital cable. It was a sad day for my wallet, but a happy [...]
Stubbs McTreo
I really enjoy using my Sprint Treo 700wx, but I’ll admit that the short antenna is not among its best features. Since Sprint isn’t about to release a 700v, I’ll just have to deal with it – right? Well maybe now I don’t have to. PDA Columbia had a post tonight that caught my eye. It [...]
The Belkin Folio Kickstand Case for Zune Review
As many of you know, I bought a Zune shortly after they became available. While it has managed to stay amazingly scratch-free due to its durable casing material, I still don’t feel comfortable letting it roll around in the bottom of my bag. Shortly after it arrived, the hunt for a good case was on! [...]

Oh Athena…!
Arne at :theunwired: broke a story yesterday that included upgraded specs on the upcoming HTC Athena. Today, he has released a ton of pictures that made my heart thump! But first, some back-story…
Not For the Faint-Hearted…Consider Yourself Warned
In my job as a computer tech, I have seen it all – from the simply surprising to the most horrifying thing that can happen to a computer and its hard drive. These are just a few of my stories… A Western Digital 172AA arrived in numerous pieces, and it was totally wrecked. According to [...]
