Power That Classic Jukebox with an iPod

I love going to Johnny Rockets and slapping money into the mini-jukebox at the table while eating those great burgers. Flipping through the jukebox pages is fun and kinda gives me an idea of what my dad felt like when he did it in the soda pop shop when he was a kid. […]

Nomad’s Security Suite is Here

I’ve been using Nomad’s BackupBuddyVFS for over a year and love it. I wished Nomad made it for the PocketPC it’s so good. But they don’t, so I’ll just sit and wish and know that my T3 is in good hands in case I ever need to restore it from a really bad […]

Mobile tech at Walt Disney World

This past weekend, we vacationed in Walt Disney World. One of the more fascinating aspects of the trip was how Disney photographers utilized Sony UPC (ultraportable computers) attached to their digital cameras. When I bumped into Rick (a Disney employee), I noticed that he didn’t have a Sony on his belt attached to his […]

From the ‘ya get what pay for department’, Motorola has learned a valuable lesson about trying to cut costs a little too close to the bone you might say.

A Thumb Drive - Literally

It finally happened. Someone with a prosthetics lab has made a real ‘Thumb Drive.’ It’s a 128MB version that is going for $30 right now on eBay, but they promise larger sizes are to come. I’m going to go whimper softly in a corner for a bit if you don’t mind.

Putting Wayport into the driver’s seat

Wi-Fi will soon be powering Hertz counters in airports all over the place once Wayport gets into the game. The partnership between the two companies was very much of mutual desire.

Nokia 3220 Used for Ticketing in Hanau, Germany

This is one of those technologies that looks really cool in the beginning, but to me, it’s just as easy to hand over a few bucks. I usually carry enough cash around to be able to pay for small things, but if you’re one of those people who can’t ever find their money, this might […]

Gateway’s Jukebox + Photos

Obviously, Apple was the last to the party with a color screen, but now that they’ve emphasized photos over video, you can bet everyone else will, too. Case in point: Gateway’s new MP3 Photo Jukebox, a smart-looking 4GB hard disk-based player (no 5GB?) with a 1.6-inch color display. The highlight features look very nice: MP3, […]

Monday Scribble

The purchase of the Acer C110 Travelmate convertible tablet PC last week has
been one of my better buys in recent years. I unpacked the box to discover
plugs that will fit any socket in any country, decent instructions, and a
spare stylus with extra tips.
The setup was really easy, and within minutes it was taking notes. Well, […]
