Julie kindly arranged for me to review the bluDANGLE, which is basically a very straight forward to use, cheap and relatively sturdy piece of kit! I use a Bluetooth headset quite often, mainly whilst driving, but also when I’m at work.  As I work for a manufacturing organisation, sometimes I have to get myself out and about [...]

The Traveler series of cases from idox look pretty cool because they flip open to create a stand that puts your iPhone, Touch or nano in landscape mode. Handy for in-flight viewing or when you want to use your device as an alarm clock. Remember the Kensington Nightstand? I’d rather use this case instead… Pin [...]

I recently had to replace my Apple iPhone (1st gen.) headset. Not an easy task, since there is apparently some issue preventing me from going to the Apple Store and purchasing a new set meant for newer model iPhones. So to eBay I went. I spent $20.00, plus shipping from Hong Kong, for an original [...]

There are plenty o’ devices and gizmos out there to help keep your coffee hot, but for those who prefer refreshments at the opposite side of the thermometer there is only a dearth of either lame Styrofoam “coozies” or tepid “peltier effect” boxes with fans.  But I had forgotten about The Fridge — a freezable [...]

My family has started using a lot of AAA and AA batteries lately.  I’ve been looking around for a recharger that was economical and didn’t have a lot of space devoted to battery sizes we don’t routinely use.  I jumped at the chance to try the Duracell GoMobile recharger when Julie offered.  The GoMobile charges [...]

The Celltronix VR1 looks like an ordinary headset, but it is the first Bluetooth headset that can record up to 8 minutes of incoming and outgoing calls. You can also use it to record voice memos. I’m not convinced that this product really solves a problem, but I suppose the voice memo feature could be [...]

In my line of work I frequently like to have portrait photos.  In the past I have sent patients to a local photographer, who did a great job.  The problem is one of expense and logistics.  I didn’t want the expense and the patients didn’t want the hassle of going there.  While I don’t need [...]
