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…

The 3G iPhone Dust is still settling … and Accessory Announcements come!
Hot on the heels of the iPhone 3G news-breaker are now peripheral press releases coming from accessories manufacturers. The first one that I have seen comes from Speck with a product line crafted exclusively for the iPhone 3G. While I typically only do product reviews of products that I can actually test, I'm breaking my own rules by posting a…

Fix-It: iPhone Bookmark Sync errors
Been a while since I did a post so here is a quick one...an iPhone Fix-it. I'm on firmware 1.1.4 on a Jailbroken iPhone and recently started getting some errors when trying to sync my device. As iTunes was synching and hit the bookmarks section, I continually received the following error message: "iTunes could not sync bookmarks to the iPhone…

Finally Jailbroke my 1.1.4 Firmware iPhone
I know, I know. I said that I was going to wait and see what happens with the iPhone and the SDK (due out very soon). And, I really really like how well the iPhone just works as an un-modded phone. I actually think that I could have waited to see what happens. But the intrigue got to me, especially…

Review of DLO Portable Speakers for iPhone
I must admit I was excited to receive the just-announced pair of DLO Portable Speakers for iPhone, simply for one main reason. For some time, I had been looking for a good portable speaker system that could be used with iPods and iPhones, as well as other devices. I found a few that were ok on the iPod, but when…

Review: DLO TransDock Deluxe
I had the pleasure of testing out DLO's TransDock Deluxe this past weekend. DLO (which, appropriately, stands for "Digital Lifestyle Outfitters") was the second vendor from my MacWorld 2008 Tour that provided product to review, with Griffin Technology being the first. That simple fact alone earned it an extra notch on the "good rating stick." Also included with my reviewer's…

iPhone: Jailbreaking of Firmware 1.1.3 – not for me, yet!
I'm usually an early adopter of these types of changes. This time I'm taking a different approach of "wait and see." I have read through the instructions (ranging from the early release of NateTrue's fix to the more "official" version from the iPhone Dev team) and have visualized the process. There are lots of sites that discuss the changes. From…

iPhone: Upgrade to Firmware 1.1.3 Observations
Last night I took the plunge and decided that I wanted to have the latest and greatest firmware from Apple. The Google Maps location feature, the Web Clips on the springboard and the ability to re-arrange icons really grabbed me. But this post is not about that. Since I was coming from a Jailbroken 1.1.2 iPhone with 3rd Party Apps…

iPhone: Possible Audio Bug related to iPhone Firmware 1.1.1
I may have uncovered a possible bug coming from the latest iPhone Firmware release 1.1.1. There was an undocumented feature included in the release that supposedly allows you to play audio attachments that come in your email. When you receive an email with an MP3, WAV or AAC file attached, you can now click on the attachment to "play" it…
