Quote: "Today for review I have a bluetooth headset from Motorola called the H17txt, odd name yes, but it’s much  more than just a headset. This specific headset features MotoSpeak or the ability for you to listen to text messages and emails sent to you in the headset. While you’re driving or whatever you’re doing, when you get a message it will be read to you right through the headset. It works with either Android or Blackberry phones, and since I don’t have a BlackBerry I’m using my Android phone, specifically the Motorola Cliq XT. The software is very configurable with many options, but the downside is that to get full functionality you’ll need to get the full version which will cost you $13.95. I found the ‘lite’ version to be more than adequate though for my uses. Anyway, read on to learn more about the H17txt and MotoSpeak…"

" Up on the review block today I’ve got another phone from Samsung called the Gravity 3 and it’s a phone that is a messaging phone at heart, but it’s got decent email functionality and of course you can browse the internet and the social scene too. The Gravity 3 is a large sized phone, it’s a slider with a nice large full qwerty keyboard that is just great to type on. Overall I like it but it does have some shortcomings…"

"It’s been a bit since I’ve taken a look at any USB 3.0 related products hasn’t it?  I think the last thing was an enclosure, and while enclosures are nice I much prefer docks, they’re just so much more useful and so much more easier to use. Today for review I’ve got a product from our friends over at  Cirago, it’s the CDD2000 USB 3.0 hard drive docking station. This dock from Cirago is well made, and looks good, and it works well. The price is lower than many others out there so if you’re made the jump to USB 3.0 then you might want to read more.. "
