Handheld Reviews

I got this Palm from eBay and I love it. The clear case is really desireable and attractive. At $29.00 usd it is a very good unit. I suggest this for anyone if you are a beginner or even an advanced user of palm pilots. Thanks.

It's good to finally see Palm Pilots come down to a reasonable price. It's also nice to see an alternative to the grey case. I put the color shades on mine (it came with a clear one) to complete the iMac look. The IIIe is light, responsive (you don't have to press down hard to enter information) and very user friendly. Also, don't let the 2mb of memory scare you, you can fit a surprising amount of info in it. Most third party software is compatible with the IIIe, so you can expand it's capabilities. Overall, it's definitely worth the money.

The PDA pro is a great case for making my PDA useful on the road. It kind of flips open like those old star trek communicators and lets you work with your palm while worn on your side.

It also has a handle little strap so you can wear it around your neck. This is great for looking at maps and getting at other information while you are walking around, although it does look a bit dorky with this electronic gadget dangling from your neck.

In fact, that really is the only downside to the case. While it is the best PDA case I have come across, there is the image problem to deal with. Its great at high-tech conventions where everyone gets to show off their latest and greatest gadgets, but you might not want to wear it to a cocktail party or when meeting new ladies, unless she is a techno-geek too.

I love this PDA case! It holds my PDA plus credit cards and other stuff. I like the way it flips down so I can use my PDA on the go. Great case.

Using this card was very easy and painless, just plug it in your camera and start taking pictures. as easy as 1-2 dont even need a 3rd step.

this is a good card if you have a cybiko with the mp3 player basically get this card if you don't have the song card it has about 72 minutes i urge you to by it

Socket designed this SDIO Low Power WLAN Card to be Battery Friendly, which means using this card you will get the maximum possible battery life from your Pocket PC.

Socket's WLAN Utility enables me, as a Network Admin, to monitor wireless network performance, view IP address data, and configure advanced settings. Since most of my employees use Pocket PC 2002, I can use Socket's utility to create, save, and connect to separate WLAN profiles, giving me the flexibility to work with each employee's needs. Employees using Pocket PC 2003 has the advantage of using Microsoft's Zero Configuration utility. My people loves the fact that when their Pocket PC is connected to a wireless LAN, the WLAN card is in idle (listening) mode about 90% of the time, with occasional short bursts of data being transmitted/received. I would strongly recommend this card to anyone working on the go, away from office or school.

This SDIO Wireless LAN Card's 40/64-bit and 128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security protects data in transit by adding encryption with minimal impact on performance.

Socket's Low Power SDIO Wireless LAN Card is industry's first SDIO card for WLAN. It is about 54mm long and weighs less than 6g. Being compatible with 802.11b means it interoperates with 802.11b Wi-Fi approved WLAN products from 3COM, Cisco, Aironet, Intel, Breezecom, Lucent, Xircom, Linksys, D-Link, and others including Motorola, which I am using right now. I am able to wireless ActiveSync without any problems. Its Power Save Mode minimizes power usage while maximizing data throughput when I need it the most. As I am always on the go, this card's small external antenna reduces the chance of damage. I highly recommend it for any PDA owners using Pocket PC 2002 or Pocket PC 2003 with a supported SDIO slot.

I looked at several different cases for the Palm VII. This case is well constructed and holds everything secure. The zipper keeps things from falling out. Very satisfied with this item. Would recommend purchase of this item.

Bought it for the Palm VIIx and it fits great with room to spare. The construction is very sturdy, genuine leather, solid zipper. The elastic strap on the inside can be used to hold memory cards, but not applicable with the Palm VIIx. To attach your Palm, use the provided self-adhesive velcro pads. The pads easily come off later (adhesive does not stick to the Palm... I could take them off and on several times). The antenna is able to extend easily. The pen holder holds the stylus firmly in place. The pockets on the left easily hold credit cards, business cards, etc. Bigger pockets hold money, etc. I'm very pleased. The picture Amazon provided was exactly what I received.

I just received my Tech Media Starter Kit and I love it. After having read a number of reviews from people who were concerned about using the velcro tab on the back of their Palm Pilot I was a little reluctant to buy one that included the velcro feature. However I found that my Palm IIIc fits in the leather case perfectly and I don't need to use the velcro tab at all. The leather case is very nice and is compact enough to easily fit in a purse or briefcase. The added accessories are great and the case is just large enough to store a spare cleaning wipe and screen shield. The kit is well worth the price.

This is the best PDA starter kit for any PDA on the market today. Unlike the Fellowes and Companion Link kits, this kit has accesories that you can use. The leather case is a very good quality. It holds all my PDA's. The screen protectors are probably the best I've ever used...excellent clarity, easy to apply, and very good handwriting recognition. It also comes with these combination wet dry cleaners that do a great job of cleaning the screen and the body of the PDA. One of the accesories I like the most is the SmartStylus Pen. It's a stylus on one side and a felt tip based alcohol cleaner on the other. Very good for fast cleaning of the screen and it's easy to carrying around with you. Now, what would you rather use something that looks like a fake fingernail or this accesory? The Fellowes and Companion Link products have these plastic fingertip stylus's that are ridiculous. Then finally the kit also comes with this MicroProtector Cloth that is very good at getting smudges and fingerprints off the screen. But the best thing about this kit is its price...only [price]!

Great job Tech Media!...Keep coming out with quality products at a reasonable price!

This scanner is absolutely amazing. You can download a list of frequencies online for all the NASCAR drivers, then simply upload them to your scanner... it takes 10 seconds and saves you hours upon hours programming by hand. This scanner also has text so you can glance down at the scanner to see exactly who is talking at the races. It's awesome!!!

I've had a Uniden SC200 scanner for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. I'm a big auto racing fan and take it to the track whenever I attend a race. During practice I can listen in to the drivers talking to their pits and the alphanumeric display lets me easily see who is talking. I pick up the frequencies for free from various Web sites (e.g. Race By Race let's me use WinScan Sport to download them straight to the scanner). During the race, I tune into the TV production frequencies to hear the commentary and set up priority channels to break away whenever my favorite drivers' say something (Paul Tracy is always fun). I usually monitor race control too. It adds a whole new dimension to being there at the track.

This is an awesome scanner that is absolutely amazing for nascar events. But my question is why would anyone buy this scanner when you could get the Uniden SC200 scanner which has the exact same interface and looks the same as this scanner. Unlike the SC180, the SC200 is PC programmable, which means you don't have to spend hours programming frequencies and TEXT-NAMES into the unit. The SC200 also has and extra 100 channels for a total of 200 and it has CTCSS/CDCSS tone squelch control which ALL the NASCAR drivers use. Drop an extra $20 and get a scanner you will REALLY love.

I love this scanner. I use it when I attend Nascar races. It has several nice options which I like. This scanner has 100 channels that you can preset frequencies on. It has alpha numeric capabilities that allow you to save names on the channels. You can set Priority frequencies for every bank of 10 channels or so. It has automatic weather with one push of a button. This model is rechargeable, and comes with an AC adapter to keep the batteries well charged throughout a race. This scanner also has a backlight so you can see the channels in the dark for those night races. This is the same scanner that Racing Electronics sells at the race track on Winston Cup Weekends. They also have several nice options available for this scanner such as a splitter for 2 headsets, various headphones/headsets, short nubby antenna's etc.

Bottomline, this scanner is awesome. If you are a Nascar fan, you don't know what you are missing if you haven't brought a scanner to the track. The Sportcat 180 gives you everything you could possibly need, and will greatly enhance your racing experience. Buy this scanner now before you head to the track!!!

The SD card worked great until my Boston Terrior decided to find it on the floor and used it for a chew toy. It is now a mangled mess.

This is the first expansion card I've purchased for my
Palm. Its everything I've anticipated. Its easy to insert,
the memory access it fast.

The price for the 64MB cards have come down alot. I've
tried to do research on the different brands of SD cards.
I found more positive comments about Viking cards rather than
the SanDisk card. I'm sure SanDisk work fine, but I've not
read as many positive things about it.

All things being equal. The Viking was a few dollars cheaper,
and IMHO is a visually better looking SD card.
