  Great Little Charger, 2008-10-24
Very creative little device. I wish all of my chargers were this convenient. The only reason that I did not give this product 5 stars is because the cable is so thin and I'm afraid I may eventually break it (haven't broke it yet)...I bought two because the price was right...about to buy two more (kids want them).

  Great Charger, 2008-10-19
The charger is great. The only thing i didnt like about it is the fact that the cord is really thin. Sometimes i feel like im going to rip it or something, but its been working good so far. other than that, its perfect.

  Charger review, 2008-10-14
Great Product. I love the retractable cord since I have so many other gadgets in my car it doesn't get tangled.

  What a piece of crap!!, 2008-10-10
While it did come quickly that was it. The first time I plugged it into my power outlet in my car the charger literally fell apart. I plugged it in and when it did not work I pulled it out and the stupid thing fell into little pieces. It would cost more to mail it back and get a refund then it is worth. I guess you get what you pay for and that is the last time I buy anything from this company!

  Great Product, 2008-07-17
More chargers should come with the retractable cord. It works perfectly and is so much nicer than having loose cords all over the place.

    New iPhone app for wine lovers

    If you're like me, a wine enthusiast without a lot of expertise, selecting a bottle can be downright stressful. More than once, I've wandered around and around in a shop, under the gaze of a not-too-helpful sales person who keeps pushing expensive items. I usually wind up choosing based on a cool label or staring at a dinner table wine menu like a deer caught in headlights (that is, until I close my eyes and pick something at random). For mere...

    Nokia vs Apple: Is a 32GB iPhone 3G on tap for January?

    32GB iPhone Coming?

    The launch of Nokia's flagship, touchscreen and QWERTY N97 has already sparked the inevitable "iPhone Killer" comparisons.  Without getting all into that, it is worth mentioning that the N97 will pack a whopping 32GB of internal memory backed by a microSD card slot officially capable of supporting another 16GB of storage when the phone ships sometime in the first half of next year. Apple's iPhone 3G currently tops out at 16GB of fixed...

    Nokia kicked off Nokia World 2008 early this morning in Barcelona, Spain with the launch of their new flagship mobile phone, the N97.  Due in the first half of next year, the N97 is Nokia's first N-Series device with a full QWERTY board, which is combined with a sliding, tilting resistive touchscreen and 32GB of onboard memory. Looking something like a sleeker, shinier HTC Tilt, the N97 is a GSM phone with HSPA and WiFi connectivity and...

    Updates: BlackBerry Storm getting firmware updates

    BlackBerry Storm Updates

    The horribly over-hyped, gimmicky, disappointing, bug-plagued BlackBerry Storm should soon be getting its first dose of badly-needed firmware fixes, according to Greg over at MobileCrunch, and a host of other Internet reports.  I still think the Storm would be best off slimming down and losing the silly click-screen mechanism altogether, but if you're digging the SurePress action and just waiting until the lags, crashes, and other kinks get...
