Review: PDA Magnifier

The Times has a review, Hand-Held Devices Come Into View With a Magnifying Glass, of a magnifier for PDAs. I tried a similar one with a Dell PDA I had. It did magnify the screen, but it had two drawbacks. First, it was annoying to lug around. Second, It was not strong enough magnifiaction for me. But it may still be worth a try for you. Check it out on the Office on the Go Go website.

Review: Audio Travel Guides

The NY Times had a review a while ago called Put the Guidebook Away and Listen While You Look about a new service that provides audio travel guides. Though I have not had a chance to try these $10 guides, I look forward to doing so on my next trip. I am very sick and tired of trying to fish for my reading glasses to squint at the tiny print in today's printed guides. Currently, the site only offers tours of five US cities and one English city, but I imagine that they are busy expanding their selection.
