Today I received the new Cradlepoint PHS-300 I ordered.  This is a phenominal device.  It is a personal WiFi router that allows you to plug in your EVDO or HDSPA (3G) broadband USB modem into it and then share that connection with up to 16 WiFi devices.  You can also use your cell phone as a tethered modem to provide the 3G connectivity.  You can connect to the WiFi with either 802.11b or 802.11g and includes a complete NAT with SPI firewall.  It features 64/128 bit WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption and supports all operating systems and PDAs with WiFi support.  It also includes a Lithium-Ion battery for up to 3 hours of use (ships with an AC adapter but you can also purchase a car-adapter to charge it as well).   I use it to connect my MacBook Pro and iPhone on the road allowing me to utilize the faster 3G network with the iPhone.  The best of all worlds.   Cradlepoint PHS-300

Genoco has developed an iPhone app that could change the way we buy our Starbucks coffee, if not all future purchases. If this does get picked up by Starbucks, I’ll be spending much more on my coffee fix!

]]> Finally, an External Battery for the iPhone tag:vox.com,2008-02-25:asset-6a00d4143336d33c7f00e398e0005d0004 2007-12-05T11:42:31Z 2008-02-25T06:03:40Z Dennis Cadorniga http://denniscadorniga.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

Mophie is taking pre-orders on their new “Juice Pack” for the iPhone.  This is an external rechargeable lithium polymer battery which functions like a non-slip, soft slip case.  You can charge the Juice Pack separately from the iPhone.  It can also be charged using the iPhone cable or through any iPhone compatible device with a 30-pin dock connector. Sounds like a great product. Time to order mine!

I added to my Nikon collection today by picking up the new Nikon D300 and MB-D10 multi power battery pack.  This is just an amazing body!  I am now going to use my D200 as my backup body and sell my D100 on eBay or Craig's List.  I will post a review soon on this D300 body so stay tuned!

]]> Review: Garmin nuvi 680 Portlable GPS tag:vox.com,2008-02-25:asset-6a00d4143336d33c7f00f48cde73bf0003 2007-11-26T08:13:15Z 2008-02-25T06:03:39Z Dennis Cadorniga http://denniscadorniga.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

I did an extensive comparison between all the high-end Garmin models and think that the nuvi 680 is the way to go. Its a steal at Costco. List was around $900 and the lowest price I found online was around $600. Then I found it at Costco for $479.99. Done. Purchased it. I have an Apple iPhone and was amazed how well the 680 integrated with the iPhone. The call coming in is very visible. The Bluetooth functionality on the 680 is great and when you incorporate it with the FM transmitter, its makes the iPhone experience that much better. It comes with a free 1 year subscription to MSN Direct which adds realtime traffic, weather, gas pricing, and movie times to the nuvi 680 with its built-in MSN Direct antenna in the car charger. For full details on all the specs and images of the Garmin nuvi 680, check out their site.

I have been using Nikon exclusive for over 20 years now. They are celebrating their 90th anniversary and did so with a great video covering their accomplishments. You can see the video on their press release page or follow the links here:
