by Adam Berger on Aug 28, 2009 at 04:03 PM

One of the most difficult elements of a Bluetooth headset is not only its comfort level but also its sound level.  Too often our conversations are cut short due to a lack of coherent communication. Gadgetell took a look at the Plantronics Voyager Pro to see if it could help.

Gadgetell Review: Vtech IS9181 Wi-Fi Internet radio

by Adam Berger on Aug 9, 2009 at 08:00 AM

Why bother tuning in your local radio stations when you can listen to Internet radio from around the world?  However, some spots don’t exactly lend themselves to having a full fledged computer to act as an Internet radio.  Vtech aimed to solve that problem with the Vtech IS9181, their Wi-Fi Internet radio.  Gadgetell tested it out to see if it is worth your hard earned money.

Gadgetell Review: The Seagate Showcase DVR Expander

seagate showcase dvr expander hard drive

I am not sure about you but I am regularly running out of space on my living room DVR (from Time Warner Cable) and am forced to delete movies and/or TV shows that I haven’t have time to watch.  I could opt to record in SD instead of HD (which requires significantly less space), but that is just too big of a sacrifice.  With the Seagate Extender these problems dissolve away.

The Seagate Replica, a data back-up solution for your grandmother

by Adam Berger on Apr 27, 2009 at 01:20 PM

Seagate_Replica

Unlike most external backups, the new Seagate Replica external hard drive is super simple system.  It is a complete PC backup system without any added bells or whistles.  Like the Flip camcorder, anyone can figure this out.  All you need to do it plug it directly into your PC and voila it will automatically and continuously stores up-to-date copies of everything on a PC, including applications, operating system, e-mail, pictures, music, movies, Internet bookmarks and settings.

I would love to say more but it really is that simple.  I plugged it right into my future mother-in-law’s laptop and within 2 hours it was backed-up.  More importantly, the only directions I had to give her was to plug it back in every two weeks or so (though a phone call may be required).  No longer do I need to fear that dreaded phone call about a crashed computer and lost files.

Research by Parks Associates indicates that one-third of consumers do not currently backup the content on their PCs, and of those that do backup, they do so rarely because of the daunting, labor-and time-intensive task of burning CDs/DVDs or manually dragging-and-dropping individual files to flash drives.  The Replica Backup System continues to run behind-the-scenes, so that there is no further interaction with the application required.  Additionally, when the Replica backup appliance is left connected to the computer, it will perform a continuous and complete backup of everything so the computer is not left vulnerable between backup events as it would be with scheduled software.

The multi-PC version of Seagate Replica includes a dock and is available for homes with two or more PCs for $199.99.  A single-PC version is available for $129.99 (both available in May).

Gadgetell Review: Going Gaga over the Saga

by Adam Berger on Apr 13, 2009 at 06:36 PM

Samsung SagaLadies and gentleman allow me to introduce you to what I believe to be the most efficient and effective smart phone for both Verizon and the WinMo community.  A veritable hybrid of “touch” and well…touch.  So what do I mean?  The Samsung Saga is like getting three presents in one.  You have the ever so popular touch screen element, the stylish and comfortable QWERTY keyboard, not to mention the backing of multiple programs for your Windows Mobile phone. 

Love at first touch

It seems Samsung is really listening to WinMo users or maybe it is only my prayers that have been answered.  I was obsessing over the release of the Samsung Omnia for the longest time; in fact, I am willing to bet that I may be the first person to get their hands on it.  At first it was love at first “touch” now it’s like a relationship on its way out the door; the thought of touching and holding my Omnia gives me a headache.  I wanted a two-way commitment from my phone.  I wanted to touch and also feel.  I am, of course, referring to the Saga’s QWERTY keyboard.  Like a breath of fresh air, it swept me off my fingers and gave me that “push my buttons” feel that I didn’t realize I missed so much.
