Last March we reviewed the Delorme plus Spot solution and found it to be a useful device with some major shortcomings. With the introduction of the Delorme inReach 2 way satellite communicator, those short-comings have been addressed. The Delorme inReach brings two way communication to any connected Android or PN60W GPS unit by pairing them [...]
Designed to look like a hardcover book, the Pad & Quill Cartella case seemed the perfect match for my Fieldfolio iPad2 case. However, the implementation of the idea leaves much to be desired in a laptop format. The case is made of high quality materials but there are several factors that result in this case [...]
Photoshop is one of those programs that I can’t live without. Unfortunately, it is also very expensive and also burdened with Draconian DRM that makes it increasingly unattractive as a solution. As a result, I’m always looking for solutions as a potential replacement to Photoshop and took a look at Pixelmator with it was released [...]
Carrying my iPad like a book has an unexplainable appeal to me. Since the first generation iPad, I’ve looked for products that allow me to carry the device in the same manner as the ruled hard-bound journals that accompanied me everywhere up until a few years ago. After testing a few solutions, I had settled [...]
The Delorme PN60W GPS builds upon the success of the other PN series GPS units while adding on the Personal Locator Beacon features of a Spot device. The addition of the Spot component allows GPS users to send messages or post to social networks from remote locations using the GPS device. The Spot wireless device [...]
The exclusively Mac accessory company TwelveSouth has released a hardback leather case cover for MacBook Pro computers that looks like a well aged leather-bound book. I had the opportunity to travel with one of these cases for my MacBook Pro 13″ this past week and it performs a very simple function very well with a [...]
My day to day laptop bag is overloaded and heavy. I need something that will fit just the essentials for a quick trip to the coffee shop or a few days at a conference. That was the problem statement that led to the 2009 bag-off contest that compared 5 different bags in an attempt to [...]
As frustrated as we were with the Cradlepoint wifi gateway, it was still the best solution for sharing EVDO over wifi. However, the cradlepoint lost that title in the first ten seconds of the first round when squared off against the new Verizon MiFi. The MiFi is a beautiful device, both in terms of appearance [...]
I’ve lamented many times over the lack of truly portable speakers for travel. By definition, truly portable means they need to fit into my laptop bag easily without taking up too much space and can be powered by my computer or an adapter I already carry. I’ve tried several different variations, but none established a [...]
I’ve been using the new T-Mobile/Google T1 Android phone for a week and have a few initial observations. First, this is a decent phone with a nice feature set. It is able to make calls, browse the web, get email, and has some basic GPS functions. However, the phone comes off as lacking a certain [...]
@mtanji @fantom_planet The jokes write themselves at this point. Demonstrating incredible constraint on my end.
@MattDevost @Fantom_Planet There is a sticky keyboard joke in there somewhere, but I'm not going to mention it. well I know which one folks value more….betting YouPorn - “@mtanji: Experiment: Whose users have better passwords, Stratfor or YouPorn?”Copyright © 2009–2012
