Jan 7th, 2009 at 3:30PM: When it comes to mobile phones, there really are only 2 kinds of users - those that buy a phone and use it until the tape holding it together finally gives up, and those that consider their phone to be part of their fashion ensemble, requiring a new phone every 2 months. Sadly I have to admit that I'm one of the latter - I'll swap my phone out for a new one in anything from 2 weeks to 2 months, ...Daily deal - Shure I2C-MP noise isolating headset for $39.69

Nov 3rd, 2008 at 3:30PM: Remember Peek? This little personal email device popped in for a quick review back in August, and left me quite impressed.

Oct 15th, 2008 at 12:30PM: I've written about the scam that is international roaming charges in the past, and I mentioned briefly how you can bypass paying an arm and a leg to talk to the folks you left behind. But in this article I'm going to tell you what I consider to be the best phone on the market for international travelers; The T-Mobile Blackberry Curve. Why the curve, and not the sexy iPhone? Well, the Blackberry ...Google Maps Mobile now offers public transit directions

Sep 16th, 2008 at 4:30PM: A survey conduced by Sheraton (of the famous hotel chain) reveals that 35% of the respondents would pick their PDA over their spouse. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at these results. Either 35% of people were joking, or we really have turned into a society where email means more than personal relationships. Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those weird geeks that checks for email if I wake up ...Peek is here - get yours now!

OtterBox has been producing cases for gadgets for quite some time, and I remember purchasing my first OtterBox case back in Europe almost 10 years ago.

Jun 10th, 2008 at 1:30PM: Traveling for me evokes memories of ancient explorers, navigating across vast oceans with only a sextant and the light of the stars and moon. Or the arduous journey of Lewis and Clark as they mapped a slow path across the great wilderness of the Louisiana Purchase. We've certainly come a long way since then in terms of navigation - in fact the now-ubiquitous availability of handheld GPS units and ...Use a cell phone to secure your Southwest Airlines boarding pass
Mar 27th, 2008 at 9:20AM: Over a year ago, I wrote about how you can print your Southwest Airlines boarding pass without a printer, but since then I got a Blackberry and have adapted the same concept to a cell phone. Two weekends ago, I was in Chicago for St. Patrick's Day, and instead of leaving the party mid-day Saturday to find a computer to check in and get my "A" boarding pass for our Sunday flight back home, I used ...Driving--Into Others--While on Your Blackberry
Dec 6th, 2006 at 4:06PM: I'm sure many of us have done it, tapping on a cellphone, mp3 player, or other mobile device while driving. But there are costs to being wired and distracted while traveling, and we should avoid these dangerous activities when we're in control of several tons of steel.
A Washington man driving in the express lanes on I-5 near Seattle caused a chain-reaction car collision yesterday, after failing ...
