Geek.com – PDAGeek returns!

Posted on March 31, 2009 by Dennis Bournique

Geek.com ( geek.com/portable/) Long before Engadget and Gizmodo there was Geek.com. The site’s been around since at least 1998 and is still a good source of tech news.

Nabbit – What’s That Song?

Posted on March 26, 2009 by Dennis Bournique

Nabbit ( m.nabbit.co) is a new service that reminds me of mobile.yes.com. Both sites tell you what’s currently playing on almost any U.S. radio station. The key difference is that Nabbit has more features but requires free registration. Registration lets Nabbit remember your location and favorite stations. The downside is that you can’t just start using it right a way on your phone, you need to visit the Nabbit PC site to create an account and specify your preferred stations, … Continue reading →
