Reveal Watch Reviewed (Verdict: Design-y)

Got a chance to review the Reveal watch for another blog, so head on over and take a look. Essentially, this is a very cool quartz watch that looks great on the ladies. While it’s definitely not for everyone, it’s an interesting idea and a great design. https://gizmodo.com/reveal-watch-153530 Review: Reveal Watch [WristWatchReview]

iPod Hi-Fi Speaker System Reviewed (Verdict: Missed Opportunity)

Reviews of Apple’s reviled/puzzling Hi-Fi speaker system are rolling in and the verdict is mixed. Clearly, it’s an acquired taste, but iLouge was quite disappointed with the dearth of features and the size/weight. https://gizmodo.com/apple-hi-fi-ipod-stereo-unpacked-157786 You can’t really judge speakers without hearing them, but the iLounge EIC Jeremy basically said there are better speakers systems out … Continued

Nokia 7380 Reviewed (Verdict: Slender)

The only time I ever saw one of these was around my neighborhood. A Russian girl in big boots and this weird jacket had one and she was trying to buy stamps at the post office—definitely a far cry from the runway models and glitterati that Nokia had in mind. Paris Hilton never buys stamps! … Continued

MacBook Pro Reviewed (Verdict: Fast)

Dave at MobilityToday hopped in his car as soon as he heard about the MacBook Pro and nearly beat up another customer to get one. Was it worth it? Apparently it was. The best features are the speed and the little magnetic power cable while the real draw—battery life—was kind of a downer. It appears … Continued

Nokia N70 Reviewed (Verdict: Does Not Cure World Hunger)

The N70 runs Symbian and includes an FM tuner, a video recorder, and 2-megapixel camera with flash. Interestingly, the screen brightness reacts to ambient light and is very crisp and clear. Battery life was good—a few days between charges with regular use—and the pictures the N70 are incredible. David Ponce, the reviewer, took some snaps … Continued

BenQ-Siemens S88 Reviewed (Verdict: So Bright, So Nice)

You know you’re doing something right when your OLED screen is so sharp that it looks like a sticker. The S88 comes in black or white and has a 1.3-megapixel camera, music player, and Bluetooth. Not a huge laundry list, but acceptable. Overall, the reviewer found the phone to be more than adequate as an … Continued

Guest Review: Olympus DM-20 Digital Voice Recorder

By Glenn Reynolds of InstaPundit.com. I have a chapter on podcasting and the like in my just-about-to-appear book, An Army of Davids, which is about how technology is empowering ordinary people to do things that only big organizations could do in the past. That phenomenon isn’t news to Gizmodo readers, but writing about podcasting got … Continued

Suunto Vector Wrist Computer Hands-On

So, here it goes A few weeks ago I bit the bullet and bought myself a Suunto Vector. I bought it because my faithful Timex had died, I had some extra cash in my pocket, I’ve been going skiing a lot, I like to go camping, and I wanted a cool stylish watch that was … Continued

Video Review: Helicor StressEraser

This one deserved no written review. It’s the Helicor StressEraser and it’s kind of dopey… essentially, it makes you breathe a lot. Very cool design, though. Otherwise, we’ve improved the lighting significantly and now the only issue is that YouTube reduces the frame rate to 2 per second, which is super. Product Page [StressEraser]
