Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I can’t explain why, but I’m fascinated by drones. I think it may be because I’ve always harbored the idea of being a helicopter pilot, but could never afford the schooling.

I guess it’s my turn to review a Bluetooth headphone. There’s a bunch out there and we’ve looked at several of them at The Gadgeteer. I’m not an audiophile, but I can tell the difference between good and bad sound for the music I enjoy, so I’ll share my experience with the 808.

Our sewer line needed replacing recently. The plumbers used a really long “snake” with a camera at the end to see where they were going. I have no plans to repair toilets or examine indoor plumbing, but the Aardvark HD3M waterproof wireless inspection camera might take me places I never thought possible.

Cloud based security cameras like the Nest Cam, Logitech’s Logi Circle cam, the FLIR FX security camera and others are very popular because they are easy to setup, have a mobile app and don’t require special wiring to use them. Then there are wireless IP cameras like those from Foscam that are also easy to

Years ago, in the early days of the iPad, there were few innovators who went beyond the basics of what Apple offered in their iPad cases – the basic folded angles that propped up the iPad at two angles for video or keyboard use. One of the few case manufacturers of the era to go

It’s hard to write anything new about the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless headphone because so much of what needs to be said has already been said—twice! My review of the P5 Wireless is based on the P5 Series 2 which in turn was largely based on my impressions of the original P5. Sure, the P5

Let’s talk Bluetooth—again. Bluetooth began as a convenient, but spotty and bad-sounding way to listen to music without wires. Today, Bluetooth has improved dramatically in sound quality and signal strength—although it can still occasionally have annoying drop-outs.
