Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I have a couple of Nikon DSLR cameras that I use for personal and Gadgeteer photography. Nikon cameras aren’t cheap, but hey – not every camera is mentioned in song, either. 😉 Accessories, especially the Nikon-branded ones, aren’t cheap, either. I’ve been slowly collecting studio lights, flashes for the hot shoe, filters – you get […]

I have been testing id America’s Spark Aluminum In-ear Headphones for a few weeks, and I have to say that this is the first time I have reviewed a product that’s the opposite of its name. When you hear “spark”, you might think of sharp, aggressive, electrical excitement. However, the Spark earphones are anything but that.

The anticipation for a new gadget can often be more exciting than getting the actual product in your hands. Apple’s new iPad definitely offers some nice updates with the Retina display, 4G and improved camera, but is it a worthy upgrade for someone that already has an iPad 2? Janet, Dave and I are here to

As music storage becomes more computer-based, listening to music – whether it’s from a desktop or laptop model – requires compromises. One of those tradeoffs is sound quality. It’s a badly kept secret that computer sound cards are not that good. Heck, some of them are just awful. It doesn’t matter how much money you

I have looked for a solution for a long time to connect my laptops to my various TVs. I have avoided buying converter boxes because I simply didn’t want the hassle of buying yet another device to go in my entertainment center and then have to fish the cables out when I wanted to move

Flicker Interactive has taken a two-pronged approach to standing out in the iPhone case landscape. Built into the back face are little “ears” that stick out to provide space for winding the cord of your earbuds around. The handles also serve to hold the iPhone in landscape mode for interactive gaming.

A drill-mounted polishing/buffing device may not be as cool or as ‘gadget-y’ as a lot of the stuff we review here, but there is something to be said for a well-made device that does its designated job very nicely. The BufferBit kit is one of those not-so-fun but necessary items that keep you looking professional.
The ePillow by Veyl Products LLC is a large, soft pillow with a U-shaped ridge designed to comfortably and securely hold a tablet or e-reader in a usable position for extended periods. If you have an Android tablet, iPad, or one of the heavier eReaders (for example, a Kindle Fire which comes in at about

This post brought to you by Lenovo. All opinions are 100% mine. Is it possible to have a computer monitor that is too large? I think not! More is always better when it comes to screen real estate. But adding a 2nd monitor to your desktop or your laptop setup can be a hassle because

For being (touted as) the most powerful handheld flashlight in the World, the first thought that went through my mind was how very unassuming the Wicked Lasers Torch is….from the packaging to the flashlight itself. According to Wicked Lasers, the Torch throws a massive 4100 lumens, many times more powerful than some of my brightest

Just when I thought there’s no way that there could be another iCcessory, the people at iHome come up with the iDM11 Portable, Rechargeable, Bluetooth Speaker with Speakerphone. Now if you haven’t already bought several devices to play your iPod/iPad/iPhone through, you have the opportunity to do it wirelessly and in style. Of course, it doesn’t work just with Apple products. It

When Spira asked if I would like to review a pair of their running shoes, I told them that I’m not a runner and that I’m really picky when it comes to the look and feel of the sneakers I wear. That didn’t scare them off, so they sent me a pair of their Women’s Odyssey

The smarter, more capable, and tech-gorgeous our devices get, the more power-hungry they become. Even though battery technology is becoming more and more efficient, most of us regularly find ourselves looking for places to plug in our smartphone or tablet while on the fly. The Highway from Just|Mobile is a stylish option for charging your

If you own an iPad, then there’s a plethora of stands available in whatever material and style you want. Those of us who don’t use the iPad aren’t treated quite as well when it comes to peripherals so when I was offered the chance to review the Lap Log Tablet Stand, I leapt at the chance. “We handcraft eco-friendly

A reliable emergency radio radio is a great idea for anyone. Something that will work even if you forgot to replace the batteries and that can get the weather bands can literally be a lifesaver in an emergency. The Eton Corporation, in conjunction with the American Red Cross, offers several radios that fit this need.

I have my thermostat set to go down to 68 degrees at night because I sleep better when it’s cool. When I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing the PolarPillow, I was intrigued by their claims that it would keep my head cool for hours without the need for refrigeration, batteries or water.
The one thing I dislike about using my iPad is the on-screen keyboard, and it seems many people agree with me – evidenced by the sheer number of Bluetooth keyboards and keyboard cases on the iPad accessories market. Typing a quick email on an iPad is fine, but typing anything longer is slow and error-filled.

I put an Apple Bumper Case on my iPhone 4 the second I bought it. I really like that style of case, because it provides some protection without completely engulfing the sleek iPhone inside a huge case. I’ve admired the beautiful machined metal bumper-style cases that have been reviewed here on The Gadgeteer. I was

Once upon a time, a locomotive train ran through my son’s bedroom and he didn’t wake up. Well, maybe not. But if a train ever did run through his room he wouldn’t wake up. Perhaps you have a family member who would fall into that category because they sleep so hard. We have tried a

A year ago, I reviewed some headphones from a new company – Fanny Wang. They weren’t established yet but managed to get attention with their striking design. Their original On Ear (1000 Series) was similar enough to the Monster Beats to spark a lawsuit. Nobody (except the lawyers) won that suit, and Fanny Wang continues
