If you read my blog, you’ll know that I agonized for a little while over whether or not to buy a wireless modem to use with my MacBook Air during my commute, all the way to its arrival before I headed out to CES in early January, including some trials and tribulations with AT&T in between. I’ve now had the modem for several months and have had ample opportunity to see how well it works in order to write a review. While it's not as fast as I'd like in all situations, it puts out satisfactory performance in most situations I've encountered. Read my full review here.

A quick update on my V-Moda Vibe Duo headphones, which I reviewed here: they died on me a couple of weeks ago. This was the replacement pair I received in August 2008 after the first pair I had purchased in October 2007 crapped out on me under warranty. At this point, I can no longer recommend the V-Modas since they don’t seem to last long at all. I’ve recently ordered the Apple In-Ear headphones with Remote & Mic to replace them. They should arrive any day and I’m planning on reviewing them.

As I mentioned in my recent review of the DecalGirl iPhone 3G skin, I received a Maya pouch case from the great folks at Proporta to review. This is a straightforward slip case that comes in a variety of colors. Reasonably priced at $20, it does a fine job of protecting your iPhone when it's in a pocket or bag, but it may not be perfect for all users – read my review to find out why.

If you're like me and can't bear the thought of your iPhone completely naked but still need some level of protection from scratches, a skin is an ideal accessory. I needed a skin to use while testing a slip case for my iPhone and decided I wanted something with a design versus a clear skin and I selected a skin from DecalGirl.com. At just $6.99 + shipping, their skins are priced very reasonably and they offer over 300 designs from which to choose. While their skins don't offer full coverage, they are nice and get the job done. You can read my full review here.
