Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
For awhile now, I have been using (and loving) the Audioengine A5 speakers. They are a pair of self-powered monsters. There is really no other way to describe them. Big and with killer volume, the A5s are one of the best bargains out there for computer speakers… for home use. I tried them out in […]

A few months ago, I reviewed a tiny little wooden speaker from Motz that had a built-in radio and surprisingly good sound. Pyramid Distribution has a newer Motz speaker with a built-in FM radio and an MP3 player that can play files on an SD card or on a USB flash drive. Pyramid was kind

When I was offered the opportunity to review the Cirago TV Platinum Network HD Multimedia Center my first thought was ” good grief, not another media center”. I had previously reviewed the Cirago CMC2000 and was duly impressed, so how could this be an improvement. Then I read the specs and saw that the CMC3000

Oh, Kratos. Why can’t he escape all those memories of his past? Kratos might possibly be the angriest game character I have ever seen; I mean he did accidentally murder his wife and son after all.

When you first get your iPad, your first instinct is probably to find a way to protect it. There are a lot of cases on the market, and most of them leave the screen completely unprotected during use.

By now, 2011, everyone has a number of electronic devices at home that need to be charged. I keep rotating between two different sets of charging options: a special place for each device, like a nightstand or bookcase, or a location on the end of my desk with an snakes nest of cables. The Dock.ID

I recently reviewed JaDu Industries’ Skadoosh, a well made and uniquely engineered, portable aluminum iPad Stand. Just|Mobile has gone in the opposite direction from a complexity of design point of view with their new iPad stand, the UpStand. While just as well engineered and made similarly from finely machined aircraft aluminum, the UpStand is a simple

When I reported about the Keybrid keyring key blank back in July of 2009, I knew instantly that I wanted one. It’s good thing I’m a patient person because it took over a year before they finally became available. Scott Amron recently sent me a sample to test and now I can tell you all

You have a favorite notebook and you have a favorite pen. How do you keep them together in one place? You could duct tape the pen to the cover of your notebook, which isn’t a very elegant solution, or you can get the Pen Clip from Authentics. It’s a much more elegant pen holder for

Back in September, I was given the opportunity to review the ElementCase Vapor case for the iPhone 4, and I just couldn’t give it my recommendation, due primarily to the fact that it was uncomfortable to hold.

In the massive ecosystem that is the iPad case market, there are a few recurring designs, and a few unique specimens. Of the recurring models, there are those similar to Apple’s design, those that cover only the back, and those that include handles for “clipboard”-type use.
