REVIEW – When I first started writing for The Gadgeteer, I never in my dreams thought that I would be reviewing light bulbs. And now, I’m reviewing a second one from the same company. But SANSI has good products, and their new A21 LED is lighting my office as I type this. 5000ºK is daylight-bright. […]

REVIEW – Screens being what they are these days (thin slabs of glass of varying sizes), how we carry them around is changing. I’ve moved from a huge backpack to a smaller one, and then to a sling, and I’m still trying to find the sweet spot. Solo offered the team their new Lead Slim

REVIEW – Travel. Just the word can conjure up images of past adventures, or dreams of those events yet to come. These days, however, technology needs to be considered when planning your travels, whether for your daily commute or your global wanderings. I was recently sent the TravelFusion Anti-Theft backpack, and want to show you

REVIEW – Charging phones is something that everyone in this modern world has to do. Even if you can get days out of your device, at some time you’re going to have to get more power into it. Having a lamp that can offer both a charging space for your flat screen device as well

REVIEW – What can a backpack add to the general market these days? How about padded compartments for both your 11-15″ laptop as well as your 10-13″ tablet, plus a few other generous pockets? The Solo New York Region backpack offers these features, plus others to arrive at a sweet spot that may just meet

REVIEW – No real Gadgeteer has only one power bank in 2019. There are high-capacity ones for long-term travel, lighter ones for your EDC top-ups, and mid-range ones that you can share with a friend and still have some juice for your own devices. The Xcentz xWingman 10000mAh fits perfectly into this third category. What

REVIEW – We have all seen countless Bluetooth speakers reviewed on sites like The-Gadgeteer.com. Most are boxy or have clips or loops to hang them from. Few have an actual handle. Not so the AOMAIS Go Bluetooth Speaker. What is it? A basic speaker/speakerphone that has an integrated handle that allows you to tote this

REVIEW – How many of us look behind desks and dressers and nightstands and see a warty jumble of wall plugs? Your watch, phone, tablet, and earphones all want their own outlet and wall connector. What if you could plug all those different types of cables into just a single box? And it wasn’t limited

NEWS – I followed the first Kickstarter of these guys with their Kole flask back in August of 2015. Since then, they have released several other unique high-touch products (two wooden whiskey tumbler styles, and two vegan backpacks sized for women, among others). The one that I have always lusted after, however, is their Vortex Shadow.

NEWS – Apple has just announced that they are putting the final nail in the AirPad coffin. (Photo credit for above shot goes to The Verge.) Matthew Panzarino at TechCrunch has the dirty details: “After a delay of over a year since it was first announced in September of 2017, the AirPower charging mat has

REVIEW – More sling bags! The only thing better than More Cowbell! Just kidding. But the more I test and carry these bags for a week or two at a time, the more I am convinced this is the bag everyone should be carrying for EDC nowadays. I wrote a news article here a while

REVIEW – Portable speakers are usually limited to personal or small-group listening. Those that move beyond that size are a much smaller group. I was recently sent the iLive Tailgate Speaker, and have been testing it. Read on for how it performed, and how it may fit into your life. What is it? The iLive

REVIEW – Carrying around your info in your various devices is great, but sometimes, you need to share information with a group. Sometimes it’s a large group, and sometimes it’s just a small team that grabs an impromptu room to meet together. There are several ways to do this, but the issue usually comes down

REVIEW – One of the very first battery banks I ever reviewed was from Just Mobile. It served me well for several years and was passed along to a friend just a year or so ago. Today’s offering from the same company offers about the same charging power but in a unit half the size, and almost

REVIEW – We’ve all noted the trend toward thinner devices and, thus, smaller, sleeker bags. My (current) favorite style is an over-the-shoulder sling bag. These allow for quick-on, quick-off, and easy sling-around access while wearing. The current model I am testing is from a company called Cannae, their Optio Sling bag. Note: Photos may be

REVIEW – I am a huge fan (no pun intended!) of grilling. I tend to cook that way on any temperate afternoon or evening, if I have the time and ingredients. When the Gadgeteers were offered a chance to try the Tenergy Indoor Electric Grill, I spent several milliseconds before responding with a huge “Me!

NEWS – The tide is turning toward sling bags. Thin devices and larger screens are convincing users that bracing their device against their back is great for protecting those fragile slabs of glass from breakage. Being able to slide the sling around and not lean on it while on public transit or for security in crowds

NEWS – Let’s face it – in this “information age”, most of us have become writers and editors. And, for better or for worse, this means having ready access to a keyboard. I carry one around in my bag most days, whether I think I’m going to use it or not, just in case, and

REVIEW – Music in a cylinder. Ten years ago, no one thought of having a complete music system in a handheld unit about the size of a 24-ounce can of malt liquor or a sleeve of tennis balls. Yet, on sites like ours, there are dozens of these cylinders that vie for the attention

REVIEW – Most days, I travel to work and back with just a few items: an iPad, my daily meds, and maybe a charger or keyboard, if I’m planning on spending time writing away from my desk. Occasionally, I have to bring my work laptop home for the night, but it’s not much larger than
