Nexus 7, bags, speakers, bicycle gear and more – Review updates

Today we have over a dozen quick review updates from Ian Lim, our Australian gadgeteer whose very first review was posted five years ago. If you’ve ever wondered how well some of the gadgets and gear hold up after we’ve dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s on our reviews, these semi-regular review update posts will answer that question. We let you know how some of our favorite and our not so favorite gear performs weeks, months and even years after we’ve posted our reviews. Click through to see a list of Ian’s updates and then scroll to the bottom of each review to read his comments.
