Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
Remember the old days in label making? They weren’t necessarily good old days either. For those too young to remember, skip this review because I think Spongebob is on. For those old enough to remember when The Partridge Family was cool and a job at Burger King was the bomb, stay with me. You remember […]

In the middle of my commute last week, my trusted Sennheiser CX-300 earbuds decided they were finished with this world. Needing a quick replacement, I found a nifty pair of earbuds at Target–The Specked by Philips/O’Neill. The primary feature to catch my attention was the cord. It’s wrapped in nylon, matches the color of the

Several years ago, I reviewed SureFire’s Pen I & II and still use them today. I typically have one of these pens with me daily. Due to its size and form factor, the SureFire Pen II is my pen of choice to have with me on my travels. They are both rock solid and have

Early this year, I reviewed the Col. Littleton No. 50 Wallet for the iPhone which combined a leather sleeve to hold the iPhone, with a minimalist wallet. I loved the simplicity and utility of that wallet, so I was equally interested in trying out one of their front pocket wallets when they offered to send

If you could reinvent an often used product to make it better, which product would it be? Are fingernail clippers at the top of your list? They were for the folks that are offering the new Klhip Ultimate Nail Clippers. They have taken the nail cutting device that we’ve all used for years and brought

Several of the ladies on my staff go every year to some cottage somewhere do go “scrap-booking”. I see stores come and go selling scrap-booking stuff, whatever that is. Personally, I think they really go to sit around and drink wine more than scrapbook (not that there is anything wrong with that….)! If you want

Here’s a quick little review of a very useful app for iPad, iPod touch, and iPhones. The WiFi Photo Transfer app is a very quick and easy method of transferring pictures and videos in your Photos collection to your computer. When I review an iPad app, I grab screen captures for my review photos. In

A friend of mine has a Droid X phone and was showing me their new OtterBox Defender case and I was very impressed with the way it was designed. Julie was very fortunate enough to request one for me and I have been using it ever since. The OtterBox Defender Series case for the Verizon

The Energizer Inductive Charger and the iPhone 4 Qi (pronounced chee) Sleeve is the newest wireless charging system promising to simplify your charging experience for your myriad rechargable devices.

I used to have a Treo and the Palm dock, and I really got used to reading and whatnot while it was plugged into the dock on my desk. Since then I’ve tried to get the same functionality out of my iPhone but never really found a working solution. For example, the Apple dock is

When I first saw the press release announcing the Westone 4, my first thought was, “OK, now, it’s getting a bit silly.” After all, I’ve owned the Westone 3 for a year now and I love them. The bass is a little forward, but so what? The mids and highs are comfortable. So what is

If you have a pet you love, you want to keep him safe. If he’s lost, you want clear, up-to-date address and phone numbers with him so he can be returned to you safely. If your pet has an illness or needs special care, you want to be sure the people who find him can

I’ve tried Bluetooth headsets before. Some I’ve liked, and some I’ve lost. Often, the same one met both fates. I quit buying them because they are usually fairly expensive to replace. Enter the EcoSound Bluetooth Headset from WirelessGround which is selling this headset for less than $10. This is insane for a Bluetooth headset! Must

The iHome iDM12 Rechargeable Bluetooth Speaker System for iPad/iPhone/iPod is iHome’s entry into the every growing portable/battery powered Bluetooth speaker market. Like the Monster iClarityHD speakers I reviewed in January, the iMD12 aims to give you mobile sound without the headphones. Unlike the iClarityHD, the iDM12 doesn’t bother with a microphone – it’s not a

I like watching television. I watch TV every night. Even when I’m surfing the internet or working on a review, I have the TV on in the background. And you can be sure that I like gadgets, so anytime I can combine a gadget with television it’s good. When I heard about the iPad app

Seems like everyone these days is creating accessories for the iPad. From the usual cast of characters, like Vaja, Case-Mate, Zagg, Waterfield and countless others, to the those not typically thought of as tech-folks. This is especially true for leather manufactures; choosing to create a large spectrum of iPad cases, covers and bags varying in

I find myself with a conundrum. I have a gadget to review, but for the life of me, I don’t know what I would use it for. Nevertheless, I’m going to take it on a ride and maybe I’ll have an aha moment. It is available through Etronixmart.

The last several years have seen an explosion of mobile phones, more and more of which are able to access features and apps via wireless broadband. Most of the attention has been on the big players with their “smartphones,” such as Apple’s iPhone, RIM’s BlackBerry and the many Google Android-based devices from various hardware makers.

Logitech HD Pro Webcam. Whoopity doo. Honestly, I hate to sound negative but I just do not get what the big deal is. I get HD. I do. Maybe not in the same obsession as anyone with a television or cellphone or video camera. That group is a whole different breed. I’ve seen

I recently reviewed the Acme Made Lombard Sleeve for 13” MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. The Lombard was a pretty, feminine bag designed for carrying your 13” MacBook Pro and not much else. If you prefer a more unisex look or you’d like a bag with a bit more storage, the Acme Made Clutch is
