(More customer reviews)
At $60 this IS THE ONE!You can shop around and see that you can pay much more for half the power of the GUM PRO with its 4400 mAh Lithium Ion capacity.

The GUM PRO is COMPACT and the build quality is excellent.Use your own USB cable that came with your device to connect your device to the GUM PRO to charge it and run it. The GUM Pro comes with it's own Mini USB cable to charge the GUM PRO.If you have a Mini USB connector to your device you can use this Mini cable to connect your device to the GUM PRO.

I have no need for a car charge because I have the GUM PRO - enough power to charge an IPhone 3Gs 2.5-3 times. I NEVER worry now that my IPhone battery will run out!

I see that others have ordered the GUM PRO and received a case for the GUM PRO. I did not. I purchased a Lowepro Spectrum 10 bag. It is a perfect size for the GUM PRO and a standard IPhone USB cable in the main compartment. The front pocket holds my earbuds.

Charge the GUM PRO when you receive it - it will take a few hours to get it up to full charge.

HP iPAQ hx2415 Pocket PC Review

HP iPAQ hx2415 Pocket PC
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The iPaq hx2415 is my second PDA.It is replacing my slower, but still fully functional Compaq iPaq 3635, one of the original iPaqs.I loved it and used it daily for everything from productivity to entertainment.My review is going to be more of a comparison between the two devices.

Expansion/Memory Cards:
The hx2415 is awesome!It's everything I had in the 3635 and so much more.Because my 3635 did not have any built-in expansion card slots, I had the compact flash expansion sleeve, which added bulk and took away from the slim, ergonomic style.In searching for a new PDA, one of my main requirements is that it would have to take compact flash cards natively, without an attachment.There are others on the market, however, I never had any problems out of my Compaq so I wanted to stick with the HP/Compaq brand.Not only does the hx2415 take the compact flash, it also takes the secure digital (SD) cards as well!Great job on providing multiple expansion slots HP.

Display:
I have been doing research and looking at the newer PDAs for about six months.The vast improvement in the displays just blew my 3635 out of the water.The colors are brighter, sharper and much more crisp on the hx2415 and the newer PDAs.Without a doubt, it was much easier on the eyes, even with the screen protector that I put on, right out of the box.

Battery:
I bought my 3635 new in the summer of 2001.I replaced the battery myself with a high-capacity battery.The original was down to about 20 minutes of good usage per full charge!:(After the new battery, I could go for a week and a half with more than my normal daily usage and the backlight on!Having said that, the standard battery of the hx2415 doesn't compare, which is why I'm getting the high-capacity battery for it as well.I love the fact that it is removable and I don't need any tools to replace it.

Design:
When the iPaq was first introduced, it's radical style was on the cutting edge.One of the main reasons I bought it is because it was unlike any other PDA at the time.It made all the Palm devices look like standard calculators.I loved the placement and functions of the buttons.They were all right where they needed to be.On the hx2415, it's even better because the buttons are designed so that it is not as easy to accidentally press one of the buttons, especially the voice recorder.

Networking:
Aside from infrared on the 3635, in order to do any type of networking with my iPaq, I needed to get add-on cards, which I didn't want to do.The hx2415 takes care of all of your networking needs - from infrared, to Wi-Fi, to Bluetooth.It has it all.

Applications:
HP has included great applications that I found were very easy to use.I guess being a previous owner of an iPaq helped too.But it won't be a problem for those just buying their first PDA either.

Sound:
This is probably the only thing that I wish would have been better on the hx2415.The sound is not what I'm used to on my 3635.The speaker was a lot bigger and produced a much louder sound.I very rarely had the volume maxed on it.With the hx2415, the volume is all the way up - all the time.

Overall I am smitten with my new iPaq.I paid over $500 for my 3635 brand new (with cradle, charger, case, and expansion sleeve).I found this hx2415 for $370.00.What a deal!I couldn't be happier.

One thing I would like to mention, which isn't a problem with the iPaq as much as it is a problem with the PocketPC interface.I recommend you get a third-party management utility, such as Wisbar.It makes using the iPaq so much easier and fun.One thing I dislike (and probably most PPC users do as well) is that when you open an application, such as Pocket Word, there is an 'X' button to close the application.However, the 'X' button is more like a 'Minimize' button because the program is still active.You have to navigate through the settings control panel and close it from the running programs in the Memory task panel.So much of a hassle.But not with Wisbar.You'll be glad you did!

I'm sure I'm leaving some other great features out, but these are what really drove me to buy the hx2415.Hope it helps you in your search!

Compaq iPAQ Expansion Pack PCMCIA Card Review

Compaq iPAQ Expansion Pack PCMCIA Card
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In case you're wondering, the PCMCIA (PC Card) expansion pack costs more because it's got its own rechargeble battery (PC Cards need more juice than CF cards). I assume it recharges from the cradle along with the iPaq. It'sbigger the the CF sleeve, of course, but if you want to be the first onyour block with proper wireless web access (none of the Palm web clippingsnonsense), you'll have to take the PC Card expansion route.

Product Description:
The Compaq iPAQ PC Card expansion pack slides onto your iPAQ Pocket PC and increases the functionality of your system.The unit easily attaches to your iPAQ Pocket PC to create a PC expansion slot. The PC Card expansion pack enables wireless connection to e-mail, the Web, and corporate networks when used with an optional third-party cellular digital packet data (CDPD) card or an IEEE 802.11b HR wireless LAN PC Card. As a matter of fact, the industry-standard PC Card slot on the iPAQ Pocket PC is exactly like the PC Card slot found on most notebook PCs.

Handspring Visor Deluxe (Blue) Review

Handspring Visor Deluxe
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got my Visor Deluxe last month and I love it.
If you are considering buying a Visor Deluxe, I'm sure you are deciding between this Visor and PalmIIIxe, because they have similar feature, spec, and they both have the same price.
AT the same time I bought my Visor, my roommate bought a PalmIIIxe (and he also loves his Palm very much). So i'll give you the differences between these 2 PDAs, and let you decide which one you like better.
I'll start with How Visor is better.
-Visor has expansion module, which means alot, you can add many many feature afterward, you can make your Visor am MP3 player too! And you can also easily add more memory to your Visor, while for PalmIIIxe, you can only add 2MB flashcard.
-Visor is a bit lighter than PalmIIIxe (5.4oz Vs 6.0 Oz, not a lot of difference though)
-When you buy a leather case for your Visor, you dont have to stick a valcro to the back of your PDA like you have to for Palm. (Palm need a Valcro to hold it to the case, while for Visor, there's a plastic holder attach to the back of the leather case, so you can jsut put your Visor securely in there)
-Visor comes with a fast USB cradle while Palm comes with slow serial cradle, so if you buy palm and want a fast synconizing, you'll need to buy a USB cradle separatly for about thirty dollars.
-Visor comes with a good quiality stylus, it has solid feel of metal, and if you open it up, there's a little screw driver and a reset pin inside. Palm comes with a piece of plactic stylus, my roomate had to buy a new stylus for about fifteen dollars.
-And another important nice thing about Visor is, you have 4 cool colors to choose from (5 colors if you include boring graphite color) If you are getting Visor as a gift to a college students or someone young, they'll love the colors.
Ok, now to what's better about PalmIIIxe
-PalmOS on Palm is upgradable, while Visor user will stuck with PalmOS version 3.1 for the rest of the VIsor's life. However, this is not a problem as it may sounds. most version of PalmOS's are essentially the same thing.
-PalmIIIxe has better display than Visor. Palm has 4bits display, while Visor deluxe has only 2bits. This means that, for Palm, u'll be able to display 16 level of grey-scale, while for Visor, you can only display 4 levels of grey-scale.
So, that's about it for the little comparison chart I made. Other tings about these 2 PDAs are the same, they use same processor, and dimension is the same. (Visor is slightly thicker, and Palm is slightly wider)
As a recommendation if you r going to buy Visor Deluxe, get one of the cool color, don't get the graphite one, unless you are a businessman, and want a more sophiticate looking device. Otherwise, other 4 colors are way cooler, (mine's orange)
If you have more cash to burn, then I recommend you getting either PalmVx or Visor Platinum, they are a little bit more expensive. However, I've never used them so I will not write any comments about them.
P.S. DO NOT get a PDA with less then 8MB memory, must have AT LEAST 8MB

I am not an expert on gps devices, but I do like this one very much.It is very precise and adaptive. I love the reality view of major intersections and exits on the highway.POIs show up as chain icons which is pretty cool because on the other one I tried they were all blue and I could not tell the difference between any of them.It has free traffic for life and speed limit signs for highways and smaller streets.I think overall it is a great gps!

Blueant S4 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker Review

Blueant S4 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Works great, easy to set up. The sound is awesome and very clear. Small, thin and very portable. All voice controlled. I do miss the British female voice of my last Blueant speakerphone, this one has only an American male voice.
Must have only Windows 32 bit to update the software. Does not work with iMac (which I don't like.) You will also need FroYo 2.2 to use with Android phones.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Blueant S4 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker

Product Description:
The BlueAnt's most interesting feature is its hands-free trigger mode. While in trigger mode, a green LED is illuminated to indicate that the BlueAnt is listening for its activation phrase, "BlueAnt, speak to me." When the device hears this phrase spoken, it goes into listen mode and becomes responsive to its full list of voice commands. Users can ask the BlueAnt for information about its pairing state, update the phone book from a paired handset, check battery status, or query the S4 for a list of available commands.Of course, users can also make hands-free phone calls. Incoming calls can be answered or rejected by saying "answer" or "reject." If, during pairing, you allowed the BlueAnt to upload your phone's address book, incoming callers will be announced by name.Interestingly, the BlueAnt S4 doesn't seem to have its own internal voice dialing system, instead deferring calling duties to your paired phone's voice dialing system, if available. Outgoing calls are initiated by saying, "BlueAnt, speak to me" then "Phone commands" to access your paired phone's voice command system. If your phone doesn't allow access to external voice commands, as is the case with Android phones, then you're out of luck and will need to initiate your calls from your handset. This is more of a limitation of the paired phone than that of the BlueAnt S4 itself, but other systems like Ford Sync or Kia's OEM hands-free system get around this hurdle by running their own voice dialing software.In addition to hands-free calling, the BlueAnt S4 also supports A2DP audio streaming for listening to music or receiving turn-by-turn directions from a running GPS application. The unit also supports multipoint pairing for connecting to two devices simultaneously. When connected to two phones, the S4 can receive calls from either handset, but can only stream A2DP audio from the primary phone.
