Android on a stick anyone? The FXI Cotton Candy garnered a lot of attention and is slowly starting to filter its way into the wild, but the Chinese market has just released a similar Android based thumb stick. Not quite as highly specced and slightly larger, the MK802 runs a 1.5GHz A10 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of [...]

I have been trying out another stylus with my iPad. This one is the BoxWave EverTouch Capacitive stylus with a new type of tip that I’ve not seen before called FiberMesh. Is the BoxWave EverTouch stylus just another clone of the Targus stylus or is it a step up? Let’s take a look.

One of the best file managers on Android is ES File Explorer. Most people probably only use it to handle local files and maybe LAN shares, but if used properly, ES File Explorer handles so much more than that. With the proliferation of cloud-based storage such as Sugarsync, Dropbox, your 50GB Box account, and sync-enabled [...]

I recently spent two weeks with the Droid RAZR MAXX by Motorola. This phone runs on Verizon’s 4G LTE and its claim to fame is battery life. It is very similar to the recently released RAZR, just thicker to accommodate the larger battery. I can’t tell you how excited I am that someone finally designed a phone [...]

At some point, most tablet and smartphone owners think about buying a stylus. Today I have threes styluses from LOGiiX to show you that can be used for writing, drawing and even presenting at your next meeting.

Verizon recently gave me the opportunity to try out the new MOTOACTV. Well, what exactly is it? A music player? A GPS Tracker? A watch? Actually, it’s all of those. They also lent me the Sports armband. I am definitely a casual runner, and I don’t run much at all when it is cold, but this got me out [...]

Gaming on smartphones and tablets is increasingly popular, but the proliferation of stick-on joysticks would indicate that people miss the tactile feed back of a physical controller. The iControlPad goes beyond a simple stick-on joystick and adds a full controller to your smartphone. The controller has “dual analogue nubs, digital D-Pad, 6 face buttons and [...]

I don’t find cellphones or smartphones especially comfortable to hold for my marathon phone calls with my friend Leah or my husband while he’s away on a business trip. I purchased the iClooly Phonestand and use that wired handset when I’m making long calls. The Solo Travel handset from Native Union would be great for [...]

If you enjoy painting on canvas, you might find that you also enjoy “painting” on an iPad. Or if you’ve never painted before, doing so on a tablet is fun and way less messy. I am a doodler and don’t claim to have any talent whatsoever. I just enjoy drawing cartoons and thingamabobs whenever I’m [...]

A couple of years ago I reviewed a very unique Canadian made stylus called the oStylus. It had a very unique design with a bullseye style swivel tip. At the time I really liked the stylus because it made it much easier to draw due to the fact that I was able to see the [...]
