In 2017 or so he gave it to a friend who still needed a dedicated music player, and for all I know, it might still be alive today.<\/li>\n<li>https:\/\/the-gadgeteer.com\/2004\/01\/29\/roadwired_megamedia_bag_review\/ <\/li>\n<li>A Timex Digital Ironman Data Link USB Watch for $67.96 on 5\/13\/2005. It was a great watch until it died, IIRC.<\/li>\n<li>A lot of LiveScribe things in 2010 and used them for 2-3 years until he realized that it was a lot easier to use a tablet. But in 2010, the only other alternative was a Tablet PC, which wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t always the best experience<\/li>\n<li>eBags Packing Cubes in 2011 that I still use, ya know, when I travel. Not always all 3, but mixing and matching as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Keyspan by Tripp Lite Presentation Remote (https:\/\/amzn.to\/369k4ZM) &#8211; still the best presenter remote in my opinion because it allows full mouse movement. Sadly hard to find today.<\/li>\n<li>A Spring Bar Tool (https:\/\/amzn.to\/3sSxtPD) that is the $8.50 tool that jewelers know about but us commoners don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve ever struggled with a watch band tension bar (to change the band on your watch), you need this thing.<\/li>\n<li>An Insta-bed (https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pe1BTb) which has held up very well for over 5 years.

Probably not. Hardly ever use it at home.\n<\/li>\n<li>A Braun Series 7 Razor for $190.95 in 2016.<\/li>\n<li>A Vivo rolling \/ sittings \/ standing desk \/ cart &#8211; $299.99 (https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Mihn0P) Great to be able to flexibly work in a variety of places.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Available via <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/music\/listen?u=0&#038;gclid=COid8dLi6s0CFQrQfgodJ_8CsA&#038;gclsrc=ds#\/ps\/Ioaoswyblmdonyb42jg6stsl6om\">Google Music Podcasts<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mobileviews.com-podcast\/id301171904?mt=2\">Apple iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this podcast, Jon Westfall and I discuss: Tucows closes its once-popular software download site Microsoft Lists for iOS Revisiting Past Purchases Nulaxy A4 Cell Phone Stand, Fully Foldable, Adjustable Desktop Phone Holder Cradle Dock $12 A 60 GB iPod Video for $399.99 on 12\/4\/2005.
