Tour of the Gadget Cave
I get a lot of really cool stuff to review for my day job, so at any one time the Cave (my affectionate nickname for my pint-sized flat) is usually brimming with all sorts of goodies – a kind of digital fun park for the geekily-inclined. This month I’ve got some especially nifty gear that [...]
Up a Phone Without a Crick-The Plantronics CS70N
I’ve always been an early adopter in a late adopter workplace. When I brought my Mac SE into work from home so that I could use Filemaker to develop my own databases and phone lists, it was the first PC in a company of 200+ employees. And it remained the first PC (well, Mac actually) [...]

Vaja Balance for Samsung BlackJack Review
For years I have seen Judie review many a Vaja case for many a device. I have always wanted one of my own, to smell the leather, see the fit, and have the experience that is Vaja. I was delighted when they sent me a case for my BlackJack. I received a honey yellow case [...]

The Linear-Logic ScanGauge II Review
Digital displays for a car dashboards have always been a thing of the future shown in T.V. shows, movies and concept cars on display at the auto show. Here we are here in the 21st century, and cars still don’t come with a full digital dash. When I discovered a new device called the ScanGauge [...]
I bought the Hiptop 3
A few days ago, I wrote about a silly desire to get the Hiptop 3 (aka the T-Mobile Sidekick 3). This is despite me already owning various more sophisticated devices like the i-mate JASJAR, HTC Dash and BlackBerry 8800. Well, guess what? I went and bought it … and I don’t regret it! Read on [...]
The ARC Wireless Solutions Freedom Antenna Review
I’m not sure what the problem is, but for the last month, my Sprint cellular signal strength has dramatically dropped when I am inside my home. This wouldn’t be that big of a deal, except for the fact that my mobile phone is also my home phone and my business phone as well; in other [...]

Yeah, it feels a little bit narcissistic to post about a review I wrote for another site, but I am going to do it anyway!
