I suppose most people who don’t carry a big purse or briefcase have a place where they unload their pockets, holsters, belt clips, etc when they come into their home or change their clothes. For me, it’s usually at the bar – my first and almost always necessary stop when I’m wrapping up my [...]

Well, sorta . . . from an iPod Touch, actually. I really, really want to like the iPhone (the Touch is incredible, by the way), but the fact that the apps don’t talk to one another, Exchange is only partially integrated, and the virtual keyboard is not nearly as accurate as a physical one, [...]
As a cyclist, data junkie and all-around gadget guy, it doesn’t get much better than this. Some people think this cycling computer is overkill, but my guess is that they’re the same kinda people who haven’t yet moved from VHS to DVDs. Like most cycling computers, the Edge 705 collects data on cadence [...] In the world of photography, I am a Canon guy. It’s not only that I like Canon photographic products, but I have a big investment in Canon lenses which makes it difficult (read: expensive) to change to cameras from other manufacturers. My current photographic weapon of choice is Canon’s 5D D-SLR (Digital Single [...] Fortunately, I’ve never dropped my cell phone in a puddle or poured coffee on my laptop, but I know loads of people who have. Typically, they spend a few days with a blow dryer trying to bring their electronic gadget back to life. Sometimes it works, but most often I hear that it [...] In the last few months, 2-Speed Labs has been inundated with a virtual tractor-trailer load of new gadgets. I hope to review many of these over the coming weeks for your dissecting pleasure. Having just completed my second book on Amazon’s new Kindle, though, and with thoughts about the device fresh on my mind, [...] Saw this comment on several blogs today. Perfect! If you tried to get a new iPhone up and running or, even worse, tried to get an old iPhone or iPod Touch upgraded to the new iPhone 2.0 software, you understand this completely. For all the bashing Apple does of Microsoft for screwing up releases [...] For the last few weeks I’ve gotten deep and dirty into investigating which phone will earn the right to replace my current, aging Samsung Blackjack I and win the honor of sitting in my pocket or on my belt for the foreseeable future. Here were the criteria for the choice: Reasonable keyboard for doing [...] Network cameras are unlike their webcam siblings in that they are self-contained, IP-addressable units that can operate without an attached PC. Generally speaking, they have a built-in web server and an FTP client. They often support telnet and DDNS (Dynamic DNS) as well. Most also have a small amount of memory. They are, basically, [...] I’ve tried several Bluetooth headsets before, always punting on them because they didn’t connect with the phone well, had crappy battery life or let in too much background noise to have a reasonable conversation. Disappointed with the poor performance of the devices, I bagged them completely and chose to use a wired headset or [...] |
