Geek toys. You’ve gotta love them. Devices such as Web cams, really cool remote controls, digital cameras, handheld games, and of course, Windows CE devices are loved dearly by geeks and wannabe geeks alike.
Now, you can get all of the information you want about these geek toys at Windows CE Power Magazine’s Site of the Month for June: The Gadgeteer.
The Gadgeteer is a Web site devoted to, well, gadgets. The site is a great resource for those who want to know more about Windows CE devices and other toys. The site includes reviews covering all devices.
As shown in Figure A, you can get information on all sorts of products ranging from Minature Display Systems (which features an electronic display that attaches to your eyeglasses), to Fujitsu’s Windows CE HPC/Pro device called the PenCentra 130.
.FIGPAIR A Geek check! Do the items shown here make you drool?
Webmaster Julie Strietelmeier says that she writes the kind of detailed reviews of products and software that gadget users want to read. She goes on to say "I cut out the fluff and write the truth. I also give people the ability to comment on the product reviews with their own thoughts and experiences."
In case you agree or disagree with Julie, there is a bulletin board to discuss the reviews. The bulletin board is a great place to visit because you can trade stories with other users and see if there are any used devices for sale. There are even forums geared towards women and "Gadgeteer Kids".
The bottom line is that if you love gadgets of all kinds but are afraid to admit it, The Gadgeteer is a great resource. Actually, it’s a great resource even if you’re proud of your gadget addiction. Be sure to check out The Gadgeteer at http://www.the-gadgeteer.com.
