iGo Premium Noise Canceling Headphones
Our “hurry up” modern society is also a very noisy one, with everything from blaring TVs in public places like waiting rooms and lobbies to construction & heavy machinery plus the constant background hum of computers, printers, and fax machines in offices everywhere. Makes me wish that I could just run away to a tropical island for some peace and quiet, but of course my responsibilities won’t allow me to do that. I can thankfully get a little peace and quiet anywhere I go with the iGo Premium Noise Canceling Headphones.

I’m not exactly the “girliest” of girls—I do have a major case of techo-lust, after all, and I can’t think of anything much better than a marathon gaming session, or maybe installing a cool new piece of software.

Jimi: The Wallet for People Who Hate Wallets
In many ways, I’m a minimalist. I don’t usually carry a purse, preferring instead to put my keys, money clip/ID/credit card, and phone in my pocket. That solution has worked pretty well for a number of years, but I’m always worried about losing my cash or a card because they aren’t very secure. Thanks to Jimi, I don’t have to worry about that any more, and neither do you.

Styli from JAVOedge and Styrite
The holidays are coming, and it’s time to start thinking about holiday gifts. You may not have the money to buy your friends and family new Tapwave Zodiacs, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t give a nice handheld gift. Styli are always a nice choice, because it may not be the sort of thing a person would think of buying for themselves, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t need/appreciate them when they’re given as gifts. Today I’ve got two different kind of styli from two different companies: JAVOedge and Styrite.

Pygmy Pouch Universal PDA Case
I’m really of two minds when it comes to PDA cases, and the same might be true of the majority of my readers. Sometimes you want the tiniest case possible, which is great when you want to travel light.

The Pygmy Pouch quite admirably fits the second bill—it’s stylish and compact, but can hold a lot of stuff.

StylusPlus Accessories for your Handheld
While some people may be able to use the tiny little stock stylus that came with their handheld, some of us (the PocketGoddess included!) much prefer a full size stylus pen instead. They’re generally much more comfortable to use for long periods of time, and some of them offer the added convenience of built in pens and pencils as well. That way one writing instrument can fulfill all of your needs, whether you’re writing on a piece of paper or “writing” on your handheld.

PC Card Packaging
This article is a little off the beaten path for me, since it isn’t directly related to handheld hardware or software. But with the proliferation of expansion formats for our favorite little devices, including Compact Flash, SmartMedia, PC cards, and Secure Digital cards, it’s obvious that a good storage solution. What’s a goddess to do with all of those little things that can be easily lost or damaged?
