Nokia N800 Internet Tablet – A "niche" device

Why I feel like I need another device to surf the Internet, I have no idea. I spend all day sitting in front of a computer on the Internet, yet I am constantly looking for devices that really do nothing more than provide Internet access in another form factor. I DID find one particular place this device comes in handy for reading blogs and catching up on news articles Read more on Nokia N800 Internet Tablet – A "niche" device…

iPod Classic 160GB – My Life Drive
I'll skip all of the usual stuff about how great the iPod is, how well it does music, etc. Here's why I bought the new iPod Classic 160GB: consolidation.
I loved the idea of Palm's LifeDrive. Carry all your important electronic "stuff" with you at all times. The biggest problem was the storage limit. The iPod Classic 160GB breaks that barrier, giving you plenty of storage capacity in the form of a device you're probably already carrying. Read more on iPod Classic 160GB – My Life Drive…

iPhone! What, no iChat?
Apple thrilled many a fan waiting with baited breath when they released the iPhone Tuesday at Macworld, and indeed, we'll be in line to snag a couple ourselves when they come out in Jun. However, one major component was missing from this new device — iChat. Steve proclaimed the iPhone is 3 devices in one: widescreen ipod, mobile phone, and internet communicator, and although the new device has EDGE and WiFi connectivity, and includes email, web and sms…one key app they left out is the obvious iChat from Apples own internet suite.

A couple of days with the Sony Vaio UX-280P

The Sony Vaio UX-280P Micro PC appears to be a dream come true. Carry your laptop around in your coat pocket. Use it while standing in line or at half time at the kids' soccer games. Wireless Internet pretty much wherever you are with Cingular's Edge network. Sony, where have you been all my life? I HAD to have one of these.

Sleek Verizon LG VX 8600

I've ended my love-hate relationship with my Verizon Wireless RAZR phone and am in the honeymoon phase and loving my new LG VX 8600 phone. It's slim, shiny, feels good in your hand and….well……it's new. So far I can't find anything I really don't like about it. The screen is very good, possibly the best I've seen on any phone of it's kind, with plenty of brightness to be viewed outside and nice rich colors. Read more on Sleek Verizon LG VX 8600…

v-moda Offers Funky, Punchy Ear Bud Options

I've never really been a fan of the ear buds offered with any of the iPod products, usually opting for either a set of Grado SR80s or Bose QC-2s instead. I asked my buddy Ryan over at the Mac Store for some decent earphone replacement options for the standard buds that came with the Mini, and he suggested a new product by v-moda, the bass freq earphones. So far, I can say I am impressed with these comfy little earphones. Read more on v-moda Offers Funky, Punchy Ear Bud Options…
