When my kids were younger, I spent vast amounts of money on juice boxes of all kinds, because when a kid is thirsty you gotta have some juice that’s easy to deal with “on the go”. Trust me, spill a sippy-cup of Apple juice all over your car seats and you’ll be making a bee-line [...]

As the parent of a preschooler, I know I’ve seen things like this before. But none of them had epic names like the “Galaxy Beetlestar”. This I had to see.
I’ve seen lots of clocks in my day – even a clock that ran on power it somehow got from a raw potato. Bedol has an alarm clock that runs on tap water. You don’t have to put anything in the water – no salts or anything – just tap water. It sounds like a fun [...]

Apple has docks for all their iDevices. So obviously they created a new dock for the iPad as well. It’s priced at $29 direct from Apple.

DYMO is known as the business card scanning company. Their CardScan App for the iPhone brings this capability to the iPhone, at least for those in the United States. I put the product through its paces on some real and sample business cards, and overall was very pleased with the results.

I don’t think I have to tell anyone reading this that gas prices suck. And they’re making me motion sick as well. Up and down, up and down, up and down. What was $2.89 a gallon when I headed out one day could be $2.67 two days later. Just yesterday, we left our small hamlet [...]

The Holy Grail. The perfect cherry blossom. A four leaf clover. The perfect bluetooth headset. *BUZZ* “What are things that are searched for?” “That is correct!” Personally I’m interested in the headset, but I wouldn’t mind finding a four leaf clover. On my quest I’ve found headsets that were almost perfect, but failed for one [...]

Last Winter I had reviewed the Moshi Voice Control Alarm Clock and have been using it ever since. I’ve come to rely on the ability to control my alarm clock with my voice. It’s no longer just a novelty for me. That’s why I was super excited when I learned that Moshi was offering a [...]

As many of you who read The Gadgeteer know, I am a bit of a fanatic about gear bags and have reviewed my fair share of them. From the Ellington Europa Field Bag (no longer manufactured) to the Duluth Trading Fire Hose Bag, I have tried many bags over the years. All of them have, [...]

I have used video cameras for as long as I can remember. My first video camera was one of those really hefty kind that you sat on your shoulder and it used regular VCR tapes. Yeah, and I admitted it. Since then I have used every imaginable type of video camera, from ultra expensive to [...]

I’ve looked for years to find just the right daily purse or gear bag. I want a bag big enough to hold all my normal pocket stuff and the gadgets that I can’t live without, but I don’t want to spend so much money for it that I can’t afford to buy gadgets. I have [...]

The next piece in my work out puzzle was an armband for my iPod Nano. I still have a 3rd generation Nano so I needed one to fit that. It needed to support the Nike + iPod kit, fit my arm and deal well with sweat. I owned the Nike arm band for my old [...]

With modern day life as hectic as it is, I find myself looking for ways to keep myself better organized, less forgetful, and more productive. When I was younger and life was simpler, I was able to mentally keep track of all the things/stuff I needed to get accomplished. But with more responsibility and old [...]

Android devices such as the Motorola Droid X and Droid 2 are super hot right now. The great thing about them is that unlike the Apple iPhone, there is more than one choice if you want a phone with the Android OS. We usually gravitate to the high end smartphones here on The Gadgeteer, but [...]

Laptops are becoming ever so popular these days that most people use them as desktop replacements. They are extremely convenient because of their portable size and having everything built-in (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). But there are sacrifices for this increase in convenience. You lose the comfort of having a raised monitor, there’s increase in heat [...]

When you have a popular gadget review site like The Gadgeteer, every accessory maker under the sun wants to have us feature their products. That means we get a LOT of offers to review iPhone cases. I bet a day doesn’t go by when I don’t receive at least 1-2 case review offers. As a result, it [...]

The phrase “high tech/high touch” brings to mind big, puffy chairs in coffee shops, where we surf over the free WiFi or teak furniture with high-tech design. Leather cases for our most current devices, too, is a manifestation of this idea. Aligata, with their Leather iPad case, fits right in.
