Do you think you need a new PC? Doesn’t everyone? At the rate of both upgrades in hardware, speeds, memory demands, hard disk, etc. we never seem to be content with our current PC. Well it took me just about a year to finally acknowledge that my current desktop replacement laptop was just too old/slow. While my Dell Inspiron 4000 has served me well,...

I am truly a gadget freak. Even my washing machine needs to be gadget-like. When I moved into my new place here, we decided that we should get a new washing machine, because the one here was older than the apartment. So we went shopping. After looking through the usual suspects: Whirlpool, National, etc. we came upon the Siemens brand. ...

Well, I have been switching phones quite actively with all the new models coming out. I have to admit, I had a lot of fun with the camera function of the Nokia 7650. The 7210 is a decent phone (though the new 6100 may just be better, especially at its price), but without the camera function, it just wasn't as fun. The mobile phones...

Well no surprise, but I've changed my phone again! Nokia has finally introduced a tri-band model, and I definitely wanted one given that I travel every now and then to the US. (Aside: with the new non-stop Hong Kong-Las Vegas flights, my trips to the US may increase significantly! Ha.) So American users will be able to get and use this handset, though I...

So if you're ever in Hong Kong, what is the one thing that you should definitely buy? In the gadget world, there are probably a hundred different answers I can give you. PDA, MP3, MD? We have so many unique products from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Europe, and North America. But without a doubt, I tell everyone that if you haven't already got one (and...

Yeah, I finally got my Nokia 7650 mobile phone! Nokia’s first color screen mobile phone (not counting the 9210 Communicator) is the coolest handset to hit the GSM market so far this year. It has a built-in camera not to mention a huge color screen. When I first saw this phone at the end of last year I was pretty excited. But we...

Sorry it’s taken me so long to get this review up. I can’t even begin to tell you how busy it’s been. Anyway, about the NR70V: The Sony NR70V CLIE is a fantastic piece of engineering that I knew I had to eventually get. Sony has managed to do a fantastic job of shrinking down the unit, to the point where they can...

Ever since I saw the BeoCom 2 on the Bang & Olufsen website, I knew I had to have it. It was just such a weird and yet really neat looking cordless phone. I’ve had the BeoCom 6000 for well over a year now and I’ve been pretty happy with it. But the BeoCom 2 - WOW it looks great. I was walking...

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...
