Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I work from home, so I don’t use a laptop bag or large gear bag every day. However, I do like to take my iPad with me when I go to an appointment, and sometimes I may even want to take my 11″ MacBook Air. I don’t want to have to change bags every time […]

I’ve been using an inexpensive set of Philips wired earphones forever and have been pretty happy with them. However, the more time that has passed, the more I have thought about replacing them with a Bluetooth set, especially when doing chores around the house. The iClever IC-BTH01 Bluetooth Stereo Headset was then offered to the

I love the ease and convenience of wireless charging. I have Qi charging pads and stands strategically placed throughout my world. They all get the job done but none are really all that noteworthy or eye catching. All are made of some sort of plastic varying in size, shape, and quality. Until recently that is.

Technology has come a long, long way in the last 10 years but battery technology has lagged behind. There are limitations to electrochemistry that nanoscale carbon substrates can help boost but until that day we have become accustomed to carrying around spare battery packs for our devices.

It’s a cloudless night with a full moon and you’re driving along a deserted road in the middle of nowhere with thick forest on both sides of the road. With the windows rolled down you can hear your tires crunching over the gravel as you drive slowly. The sound almost puts you into a trance but

Bluetooth hands-free headsets or smart car calling features are becoming more and more necessary now that 14 states have banned hand-held cell phone use while driving, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. Even if your state doesn’t have a ban on hand-held cell phone use while driving, there are bans on people using them in school

Our condo complex provides cable service as part of our monthly HOA fees, but that service is standard definition. We rent a cable box directly from Time Warner so we can see high-def programming with our “free” cable, but we don’t have any premium channels. I feel left out sometimes when people talk about all

Sitting all day in front of a computer is both monotonous and unhealthy. That’s why sit-stand desks are gaining in popularity. The ability to quickly switch from sitting to standing is a great way to burn a few extra calories, improve circulation, help with back problems and more. Last month I reviewed my first standing

A couple of reviews ago, I mentioned that I had a new job and was receiving many business cards and I reviewed a solution to mange them. Well, if one is receiving business cards it’s normal to exchange your card, so I needed a way to carry them. I did dig up an old silver

I had an old 30-pin Apple cable that I used literally for many years with no problems. I got it with my ancient 3rd-gen 15GB white iPod and used it with every Apple device I owned until Apple switched to the Lightning connector. That old 30-pin cable had a much longer plastic collar under the

Everybody can use more USB chargers, right? True, but you need to make sure that the USB charger can charge your most power-hungry gadgets before you waste money buying it. You don’t want the charge to take longer than the battery life because you’re trying to use an under-powered charger. Slow charges shouldn’t be a

Earlier this month, Moleskine sent an invite over to the gadgeteer crew to check out a showroom event for their Moleskine 2015 collection, located at the NYU store in New York City.

Several years ago, my mother had a simple card wallet that I really liked. Unfortunately, we could never find it in stores, so I have been using a men’s wallet for a couple years now to make do. I never carry cash anyway, so why do I need a full blown wallet? The Recess Holdster

Do you use your tablet at work, carrying it from meeting to meeting or between worksites? You can carry everything in a large gear bag, but that’s probably overkill if you’re just walking down the hall to a conference room.

When reviewing headphones, earphones and speakers, there is always one constant throughout: A music source. Whether it’s vinyl, CD, iTunes, music burned in Apple Lossless, FLAC, Spotify/Pandora or even FM radio, the music has to come from somewhere. Then there’s the music player: iPhone/Android smartphone, various iPods, digital audio players, computer, home stereo. As you
