The Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece Review
Ever since Kerry introduced me to the wonderfully descriptive and perfect term “ear roach”, used to describe those obnoxious Bluetooth headsets that so many people wear, I have been hard-pressed to think of them as anything but. However, the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece I am writing about today is one earpiece that does not [...]
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 [...]

Knight Rider TV Series Coming This Fall
When the made for TV movie, Knight Rider (2008) came out earlier this year, I had issues with the new KITT (see my post), and I had completely written off watching any future Knight Rider productions. Now based on the pilot movie doing so well in ratings (thanks to all of us being curious), NBC [...]
Review: Wicked Lasers Executive Series
Sure we’ve all seen laser pointers; they are a favorite for playing tricks on people, playing with your pets at home and even for pointing out details during a presentation. However, not all laser pointers are created as equals, and I am here to say that Wicked Lasers have NO parallel in the laser pointer [...]

Speed up iTunes sync of your iPhone or Touch by only selectively sending diagnostic data to Apple
Over on Howardforums I just read a posting by user Lightbrazer that he claims can significantly shorten the time to sync and backup your iPhone or Touch. According to the message, iPhone and Touch devices may be taking a long time because during the initial iTunes setup, the user checked an option to ALWAYS upload [...]
Voice dialing coming to Treo 800W
The more I look at the Treo 800W, the more I kind of like it. The slimmer design and lack of an antenna are improvements over the prior Treo model. There’s also a ton of Windows Mobile applications available for it and Sprint’s EVDO service is very fast and stable in my neck of the [...]

The last time we listed the Nokia N82 Amazon raised the price about $165 after people started ordering it. This price is $20 cheaper than Buy.com and approaches the lowest price that we’ve [...]
Review- Cygnett’s GroovePowerPack and GrooveSafari: Complete Accessory Pack for iPod
The number of Apple-branded media devices in my house has grown significantly over the past year.

(This became even more important when upgrading the devices to the new 2.0 firmware [...]
Garmin Oregon family up for pre-order on Amazon and demoed via YouTube
The new Garmin Oregon family of rugged GPS devices is available now on Amazon for delivery in “one to two months”. These devices thankfully have completely done away with the confusing array of buttons I was never able to completely understand on my prior GPS (I’m a slow learner). Instead they promise a ruggedized touch [...]

Previously only some higher volume stores were opening earlier, with other Apple stores opening as late as 10am. This information is according to a notice posted on the Apple Retail Store iPhone 3G availability site (say [...]
Yahoo! Music to selectively reimburse subscribers
Looks as if Yahoo! Music may be having a change of heart with respect to how they treat customers who purchased DRM protected music. The Yahoo! Music store is slated to close on September 30, 2008. After that time owners of digitally protected (DRM) music purchased from Yahoo! will be unable to transfer their songs [...]
