Comment on Gadget Grips by Guy Cobb

These pads are sticky as they claim, however it's a toss-up as to whether it will stay on the item or the surface when you pick it up. I have tried these pads on a portable hard drive, cell phone, and iPod and each time they work well until they stay behind on the surface. Both sides are pretty equally sticky, so they stay behind on whatever surface they have the best grip on. They work pretty well at first, but over a day or two they tend to pull back off and stay behind on a surface.

Another issue is that the edges of the pads tend to curl up, which means that if you try to put them in a bag or pocket the edges of the pad will catch and it will be pulled off.

I wish one side of these was more of a true adhesive so that they would stay put. Rating: 2 / 5

I bought this product for my cell phone and possibly my GPS. When I applied the grip, they both slid off the dash like there was nothing on it. A waste of money.

Checkout the Bluetooth cellphone headsets are sweet. Or maybe some blank cd’s are always needed and there inexpensive.

At first, I was upset about this item. Rather than the "extended mini-USB" that the HTC phones use (like the G1), it has what appears to be a completely normal mini-USB. After seeing that (on the delivered product, couldn't tell on the photo), I assumed that it could only be used for charging, since most (if not all) HTC phones require the extended USB cable for sync'ing.

And yet it works. I can only guess that it's a different pin wiring in the cable. But it works. Hard to argue with that.

Other than that, seems like a sturdy, well-made cable with good, solid connectors. Probably wouldn't pull a bass boat effectively, but certainly good for data xfer.

Comment on What is the coolest gadget of 2006? by Princess Buttercup

The Lexus LS 4160.

It is awesome. It is a self-parking car with sensors so you never have to worry about parrallel parking again.

Also, this gadget is not necessarily from 2006, but it is still released in 2006. Let me explain. The Red Motorola Razr is really cool because its proceeds go to help aids patients.

But the most exciting of all is the Nintendo Wii. I just got one for Christmas and it is the best system on earth!!! You have to try it!!!

The gadget grip worked really well for what I needed. I don’t place my phone on my car dash, just down by the cupholder and the grip worked great there. I used it for quite some time on my old phone, but when I recently upgraded my phone to a newer version, I preferred not to have it stuck to the back of my newer, cooler, phone. Other than that, the product worked great.

Not much to say about a USB cable other than it does it’s job.

A bit short to my taste, but I knew it in advance as it appears in the product description.

Penny: Are you sure about this plane, Uncle Gadget?
Gadget: No problem, Penny. The nice mechanic said any fool could fly this plane.
