Neat little Recorder/MP3 Player

Thanks to Kathy Jacobs with Vitamin CH for this tip. This device (which comes in other colors than pink) does around 5-6 hours recording, plays MP3’s, has an FM tuner, and has an easy-to-use user interface. Only $70 at Fry’s and weighs hardly anything. I thought it was neat.

Wired for sound? Be careful out there folks!

I’m still mega-busy here (sigh!) but I thought I’d provide a quick interlude to Tracy’s excellent CES 2008 coverage by drawing your attention to an ad campaign that has nothing at all to do with Tablet PCs. Go figure?!? This is one of a number of posters from a road safety campaign, run by the [...]

Livescribe - Time to ditch the Tablet PC?

Described as a ‘paper based computer solution’ Livescribe is apparently a new mobile computer solution which uses a combination of electronic ‘smartpen’ and special micro-dotted note-paper to both digitally and traditionally (i.e. ink on paper) record your hand-written notes, while at the same time recording the audio of a lecture or meeting.

Lenovo is currently running an offer where you take a very quick survey (estimated time to completion is < 2 minutes) and receive a complimentary tablet pen.

I have two pens, the standard one that came with my M200 that I use as backup and my main one (a Wacom Capless Cross Executive Pen); so I’d [...]

Interesting Combo: Tablet PC + WebCam (+ iPod Video)

I got a cool Christmas present: a Creative notebook web cam. Small, sleek, fits on the screen while in tablet mode, and has a pretty good picture quality. Now I can record audio and video lectures. Sweet. Imagine using this with OneNote’s sync capabilities. Since I don’t use OneNote, I’m thinking more along the [...]

What’s on Your Gadget Wishlist?

I’ve been carefully plotting my Christmas list, thinking up toys I’d like for the good guy to bring, and I thought I’d make a call out to hear what made everyone’s list this year.

So, whatever celebration you’re preparing for (any birthday lists composed out there?), post a comment listing the gadgets, electronics, computers, and [...]

My “Rice Crispy” Screen

You know: Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Except this was more of a pop, snap, crackle. Yup. My screen broke.

I had put my tablet in my backpack and I was getting up from lecture to go to my next class when the strap on my backpack unsnapped and the backpack went crashing to the floor [...]
