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.

I can thankfully get a little peace and quiet anywhere I go with the iGo Premium Noise Canceling Headphones.

Cozmo from Waterfield Designs
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.

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. And sometimes you want something a little larger, a case that allows you to carry a few small accessories with your handheld. 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.

Otter Armor
Are you the type that’s really hard on your handheld device? Do you tend to drop it often? Do you have a job that frequently takes you to harsh environments, such as construction, manufacturing, and the like? Or are you the extreme sports type, equally comfortable hiking in the valleys, skiing the black diamond trails in Colorado, or kayaking whitewater rivers? Sounds like your handheld needs some serious protection, and Otter Armor just might fit the bill.

Instant Power Charger for m5xx Series Palms
Rechargeable batteries are great, except when you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere and you run out of juice. In the old days, you could just stick in a couple more AAA batteries, but now that most handhelds are using Lithium-Ion rechargeables, that strategy doesn’t work anymore. Thank goodness, Instant Power has come to the rescue to keep us all charged and running wherever we might find ourselves.

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?
