iGo

I am strangely compelled by the business model of Radio Shack's iGo product line.

Sell relatively cheap AC/DC adapters. Then sell item-specific tips at $10/each. A very elegant and very pricy solution to the collection of wall worts in my briefcase.

I have:
A01 (wife's old and new cellphones, car MP3 player).

I am getting
A29 (new Blackberry)
B01 (iPod mini)

My only wish is that they had non-product specific listings. I have some portable speakers from the 90s that would be worth buying a tip for.

Verizon Wireless Activation For people who don't actually bring home the box of flyers and nonsense when they get a new cellphone, some/most Verizon Wireless phones are activated by dialing *228.

Slingbox I am intrigued by Slingbox. Copyfight has a good analysis of the uproar it has created. It is one of those devices that seem almost guaranteed to have trouble with firewalls on both ends. Walter Mossberg agrees. I'm not sure...
