Headsets, backup and getting to Home Base…

No, not in that way. Stop thinking what you’re thinking!*

I’ve got the hopeful-ometer cranked up to eleven for tonight’s IT Journo awards, where I’ll inevitably not win an award.

Hang on a minute. That doesn’t sound like the hopeful-ometer is working at all!

Excuse me while I hit it repeatedly with this wrench. Keep yourselves amused with these reviews, live today at CNET.com.au:

Plantronics Voyager Pro: “Plantronics’ headset design harks back to days when Bluetooth headsets were big and bulky, but it works well.”

Belkin Home Base: “Want to pump up your router’s capabilities? Belkin’s Home Base makes it simple — for a price.”

Meanwhile, in the print world, there’s also the May issue of Australian PC User Magazine. This month I’ve contributed a roundup of backup software as well as reviews of Internode’s MiFi, Edimax’s 3G-6210N, Google’s Nexus One and Nokia’s N97 Mini.

*Well, OK. You can think it for a while. If you really must.

MiFi, Laptops and sweat.

The sweat is just down to Sydney’s always appalling humidity today. The other stuff? Two reviews, live today at CNET.com.au:

Internode MiFi: “Internode’s MiFi 3G modem/router works quite well, but carrier issues and high pricing are a big downside.”

Samsung Q320: “Samsung’s Q320 impresses us on most levels, except for the critical issue of battery life.”

And now back to the sweating.
