| JESUITS - gadget@TTS -Ep59 - SanDisk Sansa Express - 660 sec
http://www.TheTechStop.net
Our review of the Sansa Clip received over 55k downloads from TheTechStop so we asked the uberGeeks over at SanDisk if them might have another media player that we could look at. They sent us the Sansa Express.
This little music player is about the size of a flash drive, and yet it packs in all the features of the clip, including the 1" Color OLED screen, while adding a MicroSD card slot and a USB connector for directly connecting the device to your computer.

| JESUITS - gadget @ TTS -EP63- Pharos GPS Trips and Pics - 660 sec
http://www.thetechstop.net/?page_id=928
Are you adrift in a sea of digital pictures?
--- If so, you need to take a look at the Pharos "Trips and Pics" -- a GPS 'geotagging' system that might be the ultimate in vacation photo collecting.
The Pharos Trips & Pics is a self-contained geotagging package complete with GPS receiver, battery and interface software. About the size of two stacked matchboxes, the Trips and Pics is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and light enough (only .15 lbs) to be hung around your neck.
Pharos is known for high-quality GPS devices and the Trips and Pics is no exception. The GPS receiver has an integrated patch antenna, 20 channel tracking and a 24 hour battery. It also has enough memory to log up to 45 days worth of GPS fixes.
Trips and Pics is compatible with any digital camera and the software will automatically tag each picture, placing them on your map of choice. -- We used it with Google earth and were rewarded with a visual representation not only of our travels, but of the location of each and every single on of our photos.
Since it uses the time stamp of the photos and compares them against the time stamp of the GPS receiver log entries, each picture is placed on the map exactly where it was taken. The end result was that we had a fantastically detailed map of our path around the island, and a neatly organized trip photo album. If we wanted to, we could share this album with the world, or just with our friends --- This changes the paradigm of the family photo album.

| JESUITS - gadget @ TTS -Ep41- DisplayLink -- CES2008 - 660 sec
USB to VGA adapters have been around for several years now, but their performance has been a mixed-bag at best and downright embarrassing at worst. The few USB-VGA adapters that have passed through our labs were quickly relegated to a bottom drawer or unceremoniously returned to shipper. With poor driver support, awful performance and terribly image quality, we assumed that video over USB was impossible.
Then we met the uberGeeks from DisplayLink.
These brainy engineers have come up with a way to deliver full-motion, high-quality images and video over a USB 2.0 connection. With up to 6 adapters connected to a single computer and DisplayLink technology making its way into products from several major manufacturers, your multiple monitor setup might be driven by USB.

| JESUITS - gadget@TTS -Ep50- Sandisk Sansa Clip - 473 sec
http://www.TheTechStop.net
This week on 'gadget' we take a look at the Sansa Clip from Sandisk, one of the masters of flash data storage devices. This diminutive player packs 1, 2, or 4 GB of music-storing goodness, a digital FM tuner, onboard EQ, voice recorder, and a 1" OLED color screen into a package that is about the size of a small matchbox. The Clip supports MP3, WMA, Protected WMA, and Audible files, as well as the Rhapsody Music subscription service for those who want an "all-you-can-eat" music selection.
With prices starting at $35, the Clip is a great alternative to a more expensive music player that lacks the screen and additional features of the Sansa device. Top it all off with stellar audio quality, an easy-to-use interface and intuitive controls, and you have a player that challenges the iPod Shuffle for dominance of the on-the-go music market.

http://www.thetechstop.net/?page_id=957
If there's one thing that us uberGeeks know, it's that physical security is a lot harder to setup than the electronic kind: keys can be stolen, locks can be picked, and our stuff can quickly make its way out the door.
But what if your lock wasn't a lock, but a masterpiece of steel and electronics? --
On this episode of 'gadget' we take a look at the AP501 Digital Deadbolt from Sunnect. This $300 device combines solid security with electronic convienence to give you the piece of mind you're looking for.

| JESUITS - 'gadget' @ TTS -Ep66- QNAP Turbo Station 209 - 660 sec
http://www.thetechstop.net/?page_id=932
Are you a geek without an uberGeek storage box? If so, QNAP wants to cure you of your NAS blues.
On this episode of 'gadget' we take a look at the QNAP TS-209, a Network Attached Storage Box that gives you a two-drive, hot-Swappable, SATA RAID array in a stylish, and quiet enclosure. It features a 500Mhz CPU, 128MB of DDRII System Memory, 8MB of Flash for the operating system, a single Gigabit Ethernet port, and three USB 2.0 connectors (two in the back and one in the front.)
The 209 in based on a Linux OS and supports Windows and Mac clients and has integrated support for all the sharing goodness that is expected from a modern NAS box.
Where the 209 leaves the realm of the standard and enters the world of the uberGeek is in its integrated support for dynamic web serving, PHP code execution, and MySQL databases. -- That's right, this hobbit sized box can host your dynamic web site, log, PHP/MySQL photo album or web forum entirely on its own.
Even better is the native support for Bit Torrent. You can now download the latest, greatest and LEAGAL content without a PC -- simply drop in the torrent file and wait for your media to finish downloading.

| JESUITS - gadget@TTS -Ep28- Yoggie Pico & Gatekeeper Pro - 659 sec
http://www.TheTechStop.net
Yoggie claims that their Gatekeeper Pro is the world's first miniature mobile security gatekeeper. While we're not sure if that's really the case, we were impressed by the size and quality of the unit. The big brother to the Pico Personal, the Gatekeeper Pro is essentially a computer that fits into the palm of your hand and provides a suite of security tools that range from Web filtering to spam/virus/phishing/spyware blockers, to web and email proxies, to SPI and Intrusion detection/prevention....
When we first heard about the Yoggie Pico Personal, we were a bit skeptical about its security benefits. After all, how much security could possibly be provided by a USB key? We figured that it would contain a few anti-virus, anti-spam programs and perhaps some shareware versions of system protection software.
Wow... were we wrong!....

We like power --- not the political kind that is craved by dictators and egomaniacs --- but the power that drives our gadgets and uberGeek tools. On this episode of 'gadget' we play with the Xantrex Xpower PowerSource Mobile Mini --- a product name that is fittingly long for a mobile USB charging station with hours of power.
Once we've finished with the Mobile Mini, we jump into the CES time machine and take a ride to the Horizon Cell booth where they were showing off the latest in "hydrogen-on-demand" technology.
