Gdgt launches: A community site for gadgets and gadget users
Engadget founder Peter Rojas and former editor Ryan Block are launching a new project today called gdgt.

If you're not interested in creating a profile and sharing your gadget lust with the world, the site still serves a few purposes. It has a decent list of existing gadgets with detailed specifications and some pretty nifty comparison charts. You can also read professional reviews from other web pages as well as user reviews and comments about each gadget.
