Dan Cohen over at Gear Diary posted a review today for the Radius Atomic Bass Earphones for the iPhone. I have been considering picking these up for a while and have been looking around for a good honest review of the headphones and I think I finally found that review. I don’t want to spoil everything for you since he reviewed them and not me so go ahead and click over and see how these $50 buds stack up...
I’m not sure how much that there is to say about a USB to Dock Connector cable and there may not be much innovation in this accessory space until Apple decides to shake things up again however RadTech has managed to shake things up just a bit. They recently introduced a new iPhone USB cable that i think has great potential. The ProCable Shortz come in 2 colors and 2 different lengths. You can get it...
PC Authority has posted an interesting article about disappointing technologies and there are two Microsoft’s Products that are included in the list of top ten. Could you guess which ones? I’m sure you do: Vista and Zune.
Vista’s biggest problem, however, was its big appetite for hardware. Users who had grown accustomed to the low demands of XP were often shocked to realize how much hardware they would...

This past Saturday, I posted about the availability of Mobilitysite on the Amazon Kindle. I don’t have a Kindle myself so I asked for some assistance with some screenshots to see how it looked for my own personal acceptance as well as to show others what the product looks like. I got a great guy that goes back into the deep roots of the Aximsite days, Alex Kac. I am sure that name is familar to many of our readers....

The other day a combination of Judie’s Gear Diary post announcing her blog as being in the Kindle Blogs program and Matt Miller’s post at The Mobile Gadgeteer telling how to get in, I decided to take time out to get Mobilitysite in there. I previously hadn’t considered it, but then I decided “Why Not?”. It was fairly simple to put in place. It uses the standard RSS feed to get the info into...

This is only rumor and in the next few weeks we will see if it is true . If it is, This will make many iPhone junkies ( myself included) very happy.
There are third party apps that can add backgrounding feature to your iPhone but why it has been left out of the iPhone operating system is still a mystery (not really).
Apple’s said no background apps on the iPhone forever, citing it destroys stability and system...
The other day a Zune ad popped up that said it would cost $30k to fill up an iPod. Well, it has taken it’s brunt of abuse, but it’s pretty good really. Head over to GotZune and watch it if you haven’t yet.
Well, Penny Arcade takes a stab at the Zune Pass concept using Microsoft’s ad as the inspiration… Well, the ad has a point, but what they are forgetting is that it would take about...

This morning PhoneArena was tipped with a few shots from Best Buy’s inventory system with 3 new SKUs. The supplier is listed as AT&T Mobility and the models are Charlie 1, 2, and 3. Could these be placeholders for the new iPhone? My opinion is that while its possible it doesn’t seem likely. I’m not sure how the iPhone 3G is listed in Best Buy’s system but my thoughts would be that the supplier...
Last night I was going through Google Reader and I found something on Gizmodo that made me think “It’s about freaking time somebody came up with this!” That product is the Griffin PowerBlock Reserve. Like most 3rd party chargers it features a USB port that allows you to plug in your iPhone or iPod USB cable and charge your iDevice. However the genius behind this charger from Griffin is that...

No video this time. Heck, it’s taken me long enough to clear out my little light studio to snap some photos. I have a bunch of photos to share here. I won’t comment much on the actual phone yet. I have had it a while, but I haven’t had much time to check it out. It’s also not a final release model either.
The M900 is running Windows Mobile 6.1 right now and has a huge screen that is quite beautiful....

I’ve had a Windows Mobile device since 2000. But recently my work gave me a Blackberry 8350i to replace my aging Nextel phone. I had the opportunity to reduce my load from two devices to one. I had to make a lot of changes in order to accomplish my goals of continuing to carry my important business information and integrating the Blackberry into my business routine. One big switch I made...
