My Wife’s Father’s Day Shopping Challenge
It's been well over a week since Father's Day crossed our paths. I pretty much killed myself trying to get reviews out on some of the products that I have received over the past couple of months that I thought would be good gifts for Father's Day. Since Father's Day has passed, I have been slowing down a bit. However,…

Find Your Way with the Magellan RoadMate 1470
The last gadget that I'm going review right before Father's Day is upon us (see my other Father's Day reviews here) is something that every Dad would love to receive. But heck, if you are reading this review after the "magical" day, just know that you can bring a smile to any dad's face and even a tear to his…

Sennheiser’s MM 50 iP Headphones are Music to my Ears
I have been using the Apple-issued iPhone headphones for over 2 years. Only for a brief period did I use some Sony Headphones with an adapter for the microphone. The Sony's got a bit beaten up in my daily transportation routine so I was back to my standard issue Apple headphone. Music sounded great, clear, clean and crisp...that is, until…

Polk Audio, who has always been a maker of quality audio products ever since I can remember, has a real winner on their hands. Over the past few weeks, I have been able to test the Polk Audio I-Sonic ES2 and have found it to be a gadget truly worthy of praise. It is a multi-functional device that handles not…

Baby Brain: Keeping Digital Notes on your Baby’s Habits via your iPhone
I think that I had kids about 10 years too early. Well, actually, I'm glad about the age that I had my 3 beautiful daughters, I'm just not happy that I didn't have today's technology back then. The makers of Baby Brain, an iPhone application that is touted as "the Ultimate iPhone app for Parents", invited me to try out…

iPevo Kaleido R7 – A Higher-Tech, WiFi-Connected Digital Picture Frame
One of the biggest sellers for Father's Day in recent years has been digital picture frames. I got one a few years ago and it's sitting on my desk, scrolling through the same set of great pictures as when I first got it. I haven't gotten around to changing the picture set, mainly because that would mean I would have…

A High-Tech Nest for your iPod – the iPort FS-22
Have you been using your iPod or iPhone to its fullest potential? Do you tune out the world when you listen to it? iPods are traditionally very isolating and closed, a singular experience. You put on your headphones and off you go to musical solitude. Of course there are some stand alone speaker systems that you can get to move…

A Mouse for the Rest of Us – Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000
I have big hands and big feet, you know what that means, right? You guessed it, big shoes and computer mice that just feel too small when you use them. That is, until I tried a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. At almost twice the height of regular mice, the 6000 truly makes those of us with large hands…

3 Unique Features in the Belkin Laptop Cooling Hub
How often do you come across a product that actually has 3 completely distinct and unique features built into it? And does all three quite well? When I started playing around with the Belkin Laptop Cooling Hub, I was actually pretty surprised by the features that it had. For starters, it is designed to help drop the temperatures of laptops.…

Throw Away Your Remotes and Get Just One: The Universal Remote Control R50
I have got an exercise for you. Go around your house and gather up all of the remote controls. I came up with about 15-20. I think that my family would fall apart without their remotes, so it is pretty bad for us to lose one. Also, we seem to have remotes for things that we no longer own. I…

Review: Car Gadget for Dad – DLO TransDock Micro with IntelliTune
Only a few days left before Father's Day descends upon us, so in the spirit of "giving to Dad" (heck, it should be a WEEK of giving and not a day), here is another gadget review. Today I found out that the Netflix Player (reviewed here) is currently out of stock and back-ordered for 4-6 weeks. So, you could give…

Review: Netflix Player – Get Dad Movies On Demand
I'm going to try something this week and write up some quick product reviews in case you are looking for something to buy your dad or husband for Father's Day. This year, budgets are tight so even spending $100 may be pushing it, but when you make a tech decision, you should do some careful reviews prior to pulling the…
