Best Small Video Device!

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:54:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - I bought this a month ago from Office Depot on sale for $200. I was skeptical and was prepared to return it but I was so thrilled that I also bought the Archos 604! The 404 small and fairly light but with a hard to quantify feel of something very high...

Palm m500 Handheld: Stylin' Without Color

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 17:09:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Think Palm Vx revitalized and ready to meet the future and you have the Palm m500. I’ve spent a week with the m500 obtained from retail sources in advance of the release scheduled for later in the month. Virtually everything contained in my m505 review...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Through retail sources I’ve had the opportunity to use the new Palm m500 and m505 the past couple of weeks in advance of general distribution. The m505 is scheduled for retail sale starting in May while the Palm m500 is on a slightly earlier schedule on...

Handspring Visor Edge Handheld: Substance With Sizzle

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 10:20:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - For those who have read my other PDA reviews you know that I have remained faithful to the Palm OS and my trusty Palm IIIxe in particular. First and foremost what I want in a PDA is an organizer/ scheduler that makes my life easier. I don’t necessarily...

Microsoft Explorer (D68-00007) Trackball: If You Like Trackballs....

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 21:03:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - I am a degenerate lover of gadgets but that loyalty extends only until I find something that I like better. Why stick with something when something else that comes along which is better?

I used to laugh at an ad for Pan Am a number of...

IntelliGolf for the Visor: Attention Golf Stat Freaks!

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 14:50:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Two things never fail to bring groans and shouts of “Oh god, here he goes again.” One is breaking out the camera or video camera and the other is playing any kind of sport and being the guy that keeps fanatical statistics.

But boy, when...

ADS USB Ultra Hub 4: Hub Of My PC Universe!

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 02:20:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Do you remember the “good old days” when you had just one too many electrical appliances for the usual two receptacle wall outlet? Then another lamp, then a VCR and the cable box and……pretty soon you had a collection of outlet extenders, each bigger than...

Handkey Twiddler: If You REALLY Love Gadgets…!

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 20:26:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Well I DO love “gadgets” but if you’ve read many of my reviews you know that each new electronic marvel must pass my test. Keep in mind that this is MY opinion. You might like this more than I did so read this for the information and if it sounds...

Intermec Qoder: Easy Way To Comparison Shop!

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 14:09:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Other than the fact that I think this should be offered free because of the potential advertising gains – I love it! It’s a small device that fits on my key chain, weighs less than an ounce and is about the size of my car’s remote control device.

Palm III: Sometimes Simple is Best!

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 01:01:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - By today’s high tech standards, especially for devices made to coincide with a PDA, which by its nature is “high tech,” the Landware goVox digital recorder is almost an anachronism. Don’t get me wrong. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Innogear MiniJam: Perfect Briefcase Addition For Your Visor!

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 01:36:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - As I’ve said before, the Palm OS, to me is the best OS for allowing you to perform the basic PDA functions which help organize your life. I’m not enamored of the new wave of PDAs that come, at great expense, with all sorts of additional capabilities...

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 23:45:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - After using the Compaq iPaq Internet Appliance I wasn’t in too much of a hurry to try another. I liked it a lot but still missed having full PC usage at times. But Audrey arrived in the store I work at and when I saw it I was lured to try another.

SoftBook Reader: 20 Books In My Briefcase!

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 19:07:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - This is the best thing that you’ll never buy. It’s just way too expensive at the moment ($699) and I’m looking forward to using it’s less expensive, but smaller cousin – the REB1100.

I’m a little confused as to who manufactures this or whether...

Hewlett Packard Jornada 720 Pocket PC: Is Bigger Better?

Wed, 22 Nov 2000 13:46:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - I’ve never been a fan of this type of PDA. In fact, I don’t really classify it as a PDA for some reason. (Handheld computer seems to be a better name fit) But maybe I was missing something. I very seldom have found an HP product I didn’t like so I...

Vtech Phusion: A PDA With Training Wheels!

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 11:19:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Are you a geeky PDA type? Do you have kids? Now you can buy them a PDA with training wheels! The Phusion is not a toy but is aimed at the teen (and maybe under) crowd.

While listed at $179.99 I bought one online for only $96 as the store I...

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 14:57:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - I recently had the opportunity to try the two new Logitech iFeel Mice. I reviewed the more expensive iFeelMouseMan earlier and I’m back to happily report that there is a less expensive alternative. If you like the concept of the iFeel mice but were...

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 10:31:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - While I fairly recently bought two new Logitech Wheel Mouse optical eye mice (and love them!) I am always ready to try the newest wrinkle. I recently borrowed the new iFeelMouseMan and its less expensive brother the iFeelMouse.

(Logitech gets...

Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console: Worth the Wait!

Mon, 30 Oct 2000 15:38:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Even though I have a working relationship with a retailer I was required to stand in line with the masses to acquire a Sony Playstation 2 last week. The full time employees, in fairness to the regular customers, were banned from buying one for the time...

Philips TiVo PTV 300 Digital Recorder: The TiVo Revolution!

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 12:44:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - A month ago I had barely heard of TiVo and now after using it for a couple of days I can’t imagine not having one. Let me tell you how I ended up with a TiVo.

I was reading the following review by Peter Weisenberg (pweisenberg):

Handspring Visor Platinum Handheld: The Need For Speed???

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 14:24:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Having recently used both the new Visor Prism and Visor Platinum I’m just sorry that I didn’t use the Platinum first. as it seems difficult to go back to a monochrome screen.

Don’t get me wrong, this screen is equal to the Visor Deluxe which...

Handspring Visor Prism Handheld: In Living Color!

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 11:03:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - Lately, the store I deal with has been heavily promoting Visors in advance of the release of two new ones, both of which I’ve recently had the chance to spend some time with.

The first is the Visor Prism, the first color PDA by Handspring. It...

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 19:12:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - The store I deal with was advanced only one trial VisorPhone in advance of their anticipated order. Handspring is currently selling these directly through their web site and will, based on what I saw, have them in most dealers hands in time for the...

Handspring Eyemodule2 Digital Camera for: Visor Handy Cam

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 18:43:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - The main advantage the Visor and Visor Deluxe have over their similar rivals, the Palm IIIe and Palm IIIxe, is the Springboard expansion slot with a hopefully long array of viable options to choose from.

Palm has been able to offer similar,...

Avantgo: Info To Go

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 19:27:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - I’ve written many PDA reviews recommending that you opt for as much memory as you can afford. For Palm units this usually means choosing between 2MB and 8MB of memory. One of the big reasons I suggest buying more memory than you might think you need is...

Fellowes Bumper (98030) for Palm III: Great! - But With One Flaw

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 10:40:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RichBoston - The is the dumbest, ugliest, overpriced item in the entire array of Palm accessories. Now go out and buy one! Well.....wait and read this first – there is one qualifier.

The Bumper will hold a Palm III series (except the IIIc), Palm...
