ArsGeek reviews EdgeTech Corp’s Cryptech and Readyboost enabled USB Flash Drives
The diskGO “EDGE” is a neat little USB hard drive that I’ve recently come across. At $34.95 for the 2 GB model and $99.95 for the 8GB model it’s not terribly expensive and comes loaded with readyboost enhancing software and cryptography software to secure portions of your flash drive. Six wrong password attempts and the [...]

16. September 2007
It’s not Flip Wilson, Flipper, or me doing flips, it’s a new little gadget that hit shelves on September 12th. I received this ghic chic pocket sized (that fits perfectly in the Scottevest hoodie ) video camera on Thursday. I must say that I’m very impressed with the make, convenience and ease of use for [...]

5. September 2007
I’ve been spending a little time with one of Casio’s latest models, the EX-Z77 Exilim. The camera features 7.2 megapixels (effective) with a 3x optical zoom. On the back you’ll find a 2.6” wide LCD display. It’s available in four different colors, for the fashion minded (silver, black, blue and pink) and is a decent [...]

5. July 2007
Recently I acquired a pair of USBCell rechargable batteries. The best bit? These NiMH batteries can be recharged right in your USB port. They take just under 7 hours to charge fully, and last quite a good bit of time in my heavily used Canon A570 Powershot. I like the fact that their NiMH based, [...]

27. June 2007
Ridiculously simple. That’s what Rebit advertises with their new backup device. The selling point is it’s a 1 step, always up to date method for backing up an individual XP box. Does it measure up? I received my 80GB Rebit a few days ago. It comes smartly packaged with an instruction sheet. Not manual, sheet. [...]

15. June 2007
I’ve got to say, now that I’ve gotten this little guy unboxed and hooked up, I’m initially very impressed with it. The process went like this: Open box. Plug everything in. Turn on. Now I’m posting to AG. I’ll be taking a much more detailed look at the box and the service over the next [...]

For the past week, several of us here at ArsGeek (myself, and Singedfur) have been using the Sony Reader. We’ve used it in our homes, on trains and in cars, in well light rooms, outside and at night. Read on to find out what we think of this, our first Electronic Book we’ve gotten to [...]

9. May 2007
I’ve had Flip Video now for just about a week and I have to tell you that I haven’t been able to use it for the past three days. Not through any fault of the unit itself but because my wife has it and wont give it back! I’m told I’ll be able to see [...]
Continue reading...Linux inna box
8. May 2007
This is a Zonbox from Zonbu. It’s a solid state computer (no moving parts) which is silent, runs Linux, is green friendly and works right out of the box. Would you use it? How about if I told you it was $99, plus $12.95 a month and it would back up all of your data [...]

Manufactured by: RIM Model: 8100c (Blackberry Pearl) Retail: $499.99 I received my shiny new Blackberry Pearl last week. The Blackberry Pearl is Blackberry’s new foray into smaller devices, but still attempting to package the same features as their previous models.
