Okay, so you’re the proud new owner of an Apple Watch. Maybe you’ve even acquired a second band – something a little dressier than that sport band you got with the watch itself. When you’re traveling, you’ll need something to carry both the charger for your watch, as well as the extra band(s) you may […]

I’ve reviewed so many wireless IP cameras over the years that I’m rarely impressed when a new one is offered to me for review. I wasn’t all that excited when Foscam offered their R2 Wireless 1080P IP Camera to me, but once I received it and set it up, it quickly became one of my

Since starting with the Gadgeteer, I’ve been able to amass a good collection of portable power banks in all shapes and sizes. I love the peace of mind knowing spare power is always immediately available to me. Recently, I was offered the chance to add another power bank to the collection, the Goal Zero Flip

Whenever I proclaim my love for wireless charging, there are people who make fun of me asking if I am too weak or lazy to plug in a USB cable like the rest of the world. I know that using a cable isn’t difficult or a huge hardship, but once you start using wireless chargers

Over the years, I’ve accumulated mountains of DVDs, especially since the arrival of the grandchildren. It gets old having to load up the DVD player with a copy of Cars or the like, every time they come over when it rains. I tried teaching them how to load the DVD player and it almost worked, except that

iPads and iPhones, I love them all! The only issue I have with them is the lack of external storage options for the “i” devices. I like a lot of other budget minded consumers opted for the bare bones 16 Gig model iPhone 6, so storage space on my phone is at a premium, and

I love the idea of a video doorbell. Being able to see and speak to your visitors even when you are not home could really be handy. So fortunately when the Gadgeteer was offered the DoorBird Video Doorbell for review, I was given the opportunity to test it. When doing so, I found that the

A Bluetooth or wired speaker system is a necessity if you are using your phone to stream music at home. The trade offs with those solutions though are the inconvenience of portability as well as having

As a collector of all things gadget, I often find myself in need of a great backpack to help organize my devices while on the go.

Last week I posted a review of the Karas Kustoms RETRAKT pen. I really liked the pen but wished it had a better clicky mechanism. The RETRAKT isn’t the only pen made by Karas Kustoms though. They were kind enough to send me the Bolt pen to try. Is this one clicky enough for me?

I’m back with five more reviews that I’ve updated with new info. One review is a printer that I reviewed back in 2009 and have been using all this time – at least for a little while longer. I also have an update for my 2008 review of the LED Lenser P7 LED flashlight. Click
Quite a few fitness trackers have built in sleep tracking. The idea is that people want to know how well they are sleeping each night. I know that I bought into that thinking myself and have reviewed several sleep tracking gadgets over the years. But do these gadgets really help you improve your sleep? I
Pocket notebook fans should already be familiar with Word Notebooks, which are the same size as Field Notes notebooks, but offer a bullet system for better organization of tasks.

The Gatekeeper carabiner is currently a Kickstarter campaign aiming to raise $25,000 in funding. And while it does not require a battery, plug, cord, etc…it definitely qualifies as an interestingly designed gadget. It is a finely machined accessory engineered to securely clip your keys, tiny flashlight, micro tool, etc to your belt-loop or gear bag.

It is difficult to believe I reviewed the Surfire T1A Titan compact flashlight more than 6 years ago…crazy how fast time flies. To this day, I use the T1A often to light my way. It has withstood the test of time and continues to operate flawlessly. Recently Surefire has released an updated follow-on to the

I’m always on the lookout for a great Bluetooth speaker. I have speakers that are waterproof and water-resistant, large and small, poor quality and high quality, but I have yet to own a speaker with an intergrated FM radio….until now. The Inateck MarsBox is a stereo Bluetooth speaker that has a built-in FM radio for
