Ok, so there I am in the heart of Japan, gadget central, and I just had to buy something. But what to get? I pretty much had everything that was out that I really wanted. The stores were of course full of gadgets. But the main items on display were the usual items - mobile phones (which unfortunately only work in Japan), minidisc players...

Yup, I found someone that wanted to buy my Libretto. I sold it pretty cheap because I just had to get my hands on the P2040. It’s just so cool. There’s a reason why this baby won an award at Comdex. The P2040 combines the best of almost all worlds. The main attraction was 1) it’s compact, which is really good...

I first saw the Motorola V70 in an ad in the newspaper. News about the phone was buzzing because this was Motorola’s first break from the old flip design that they’ve become known for. In fact, the V70 is visually stunning and does a good job of breaking away from the traditional “Startac” flip-like concept that is the trademark of Motorola. ...

You know theVooner just couldn't resist it. New PDAs everywhere and I hadn't bought a new one yet. The Sony CLIE's are spectacular and I had always wanted one. Just look at them. I've been looking at it for over 3 months now since the introduction of the present form. By sheer luck, I did the right thing as the N760c replaced the N710c...

At long, long last, I have gotten my COLOR screen mobile phone. Something that I was hearing about for the past 6 months is finally here! More importantly, it’s a tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900) phone so practically the whole world can soon enjoy it. According to the US Sony-Ericsson mobile phone page, there is no mention of the T68 being rolled out in the US....

After theVooner’s last European fiasco (getting my stuff stolen in Milan), I knew that this business trip, I would need to get another laptop. I didn’t want to buy a “full” laptop because I already have one at home. Instead, I wanted a sub-notebook that could just run some basic programs and do some basic operations. I primarily need a laptop that can run...

It's been tough thinking about writing and doing reviews this past 7 weeks. For a time, it just seemed too trivial. But life has to move on and so too shall the reviews. The Alfred Dunhill Carbon Fibre pen was first mentioned by theVooner in last year's Christmas Wish List. Well it took me nearly a year before I finally...

It was theVooner’s birthday this past weekend and I thought I would buy myself a present. As you know from my last review, I was pretty disappointed in my mobile phone. Well, that’s all the incentive I need to go buy a new phone. Until now, there hasn’t been a new one that I want. I recently saw Tomb Raider and I was...

[I realize that this phone may only be usable in countries that use the GSM 900/1800 setup. This obviously excludes the US, but nevertheless, I thought this was a really neat gadget so I thought I would do a quick review of it.] Upset at having lost my mobile phone, I came back to Hong Kong to seek out a new one. Of...

[This review was actually done back in early June. The reason it took so long to come out was two-fold, one I didn’t have enough time to finish it and send it out before my trip, and then when I got back, I didn’t have a camera to take any pictures of it. Oh well, enough said, here it is.] Having recently gotten...
