Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
In this day and age, many young people have given up using a point and shoot camera and rely solely on their cell phone cameras for taking pictures. With the advances in camera technology in phones, minus having zoom, the quality can be on par with many point and shoots. But what happens when you […]

Why no, this isn’t a hallway in the Louvre! It’s my hallway displaying my new “watercolors” I just created. You’ll notice I said “created”, not “painted”. I can’t paint or draw, but I can use an app to turn my snapshots into watercolors. With the Waterlogue app from Tinrocket, LLC, I can easily convert any

We sure do review a lot of audio related gadgets here on The Gadgeteer. Bill Henderson or as I call him, Mr. Headphones, almost exclusively reviews headphones, earphones and speakers. This year I’ve done my fair share of portable Bluetooth speaker reviews as well, but one category that hasn’t received a lot of our attention are the

The Mobius 1080P HD Action Camera from SpyTec is a small, 1080p HD, fixed-focus camera that is small and light (and cheap) enough to be used for capturing video in settings where size and weight are a premium, or where you’d like to record video but the recording device could be in harm’s way, or

I have said it before, and I will probably say it many more times here on The Gadgeteer pages: I am a pocket multi-tool junkie. I love having the ability to carry around small gadgets that can perform several different functions. I especially like items that I can fit on a keyring or into a

Here in Seattle, we had a dry spell where there was no rain and the air was as dry as I remember in the Midwest. I’ve tried several types of humidifiers to keep our bedroom bearable, but all have been returned due to not doing enough, or being simply too bulky and inconvenient to use

When it comes to home security, peace of mind seems to be a factor in the type of security you get. And with several home security companies competing for your business I guess what it really breaks down to is the ease of use, added options, and the service. When I received the security system

Working in the computer field and being a computer geek, I love using nice handbags and backpacks to carry all of my gadget gear. I have a weakness for leather and nicely crafted canvas and military inspired items. I recently got the opportunity to review the Staad Laptop BackPack by Waterfield Designs, so let’s take

We have featured quite a few time pieces here on the Gadgeteer, including smart watches and funky Japanese watches with unusual displays. Those styles of watches may be unique and packed with features, but if your idea of the perfect wrist watch is more old school, you should check out the Avion from Citizen. The

I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing Orb Audio speakers and a subwoofer in the past. (See the related posts at the end of this post for links to those reviews.) I received a big 200W subwoofer with the original setup, and it performs beautifully, adding a lot of life and resonance to music and the

Let’s face it, the computer mouse changed the way we worked on computers. For better or not, the mouse has allowed just about anyone to be able to do basic functions on the computer. The thing is, there are as many different types of computer mice as there are computer types – wired, wireless, trackball,

Car interiors are becoming increasingly cluttered places. When I got my new car, I decided not to mount my phone because I could not find a spot I liked. When I heard of the new Arkon Slim-Grip Ultra Mounts, I had to take a closer look. Would this give me more mounting options than I thought

Getting fit and staying fit not only takes physical effort, but mental effort as well. Sometimes finding motivation to workout is harder than the actual workout itself. If you would rather play video games instead of walking on a treadmill, pedaling on a stationary bike or elliptical machine, the Goji Play from Blue Goji will

I do not own an iPhone 5S or even 5C for that matter – sadly, just a lowly iPhone 5 (I am holding out for an iPhone with larger screen). Fortunately the Gadgeteer Kid recently used his savings and upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the latest and greatest smartphone Apple has to offer. The

I’m not very big on playing with toys, but when Brando offered the Nano Falcon R/C helicopter by Silverlit, it piqued my curiosity. It’s billed as the World’s smallest, according to the Guiness Book of World Records. Having never attempted to fly a remote-controlled helicopter, I went for the new experience. What could go wrong?

I’m a recent “convert” from iOS to Android. After owning first-and second-generation iPads, along with the iPhone 3GS and 4S, I decided to move over to Android, since those devices had more interesting features and naturally integrated with all the Google apps that I used. With more features coming out in Android OS updates, I’ve

It’s always fun to see how a popular product evolves over time. The new Flipside 3X Wallet has been updated with more capacity for bills and cards, stronger hinges, a newly redesigned locking mechanism, rugged new texture on the outer shell that resists most scratches and a smoother curve geometry, making it slightly smaller and

Because virtual keyboards on tablets always present a problem for some users, there are a multitude of keyboard cases on the market. The keyboards for the full-sized tablets are undersized and can be difficult for touch-typists to type on because of their non-standard layout. I was surprised when I heard that manufacturers were introducing keyboard

Several months ago, a friend of mine gave me a challenge. It was to write a page a day, any format I wanted, as long as I was writing roughly 700 words daily. While by no means did I ever consistently meet that goal, it did kickstart the writing bug in me again. I primarily

When it comes to PC gaming, one of the sounds you hate to hear is that “beep!” when you’ve pressed down too many keys. This is due to most average keyboards having a set number of keys allowed to be pressed at the same time. The way to combat this is to pick up a
