If you store your music on an iPhone or iPod and also enjoy internet radio, the PURE Contour is a one of the nicer speaker systems that I’ve had the opportunity to review. It offers a dock for playing the music on an iPhone/iPod while also charging its batteries, Internet streaming radio, FM radio and […]

Have you ever been caught without a charging cable? You decided to travel light, with just a phone and your laptop. You realize your phone needs a charge, but you don’t have the USB charging cable. Clip a clipSYNC Charge and Sync Cable from Scosche to your keyring or gear bag strap, and you’ll always

I may have one of the more original stocking stuffers for that gadget/audio freak. It’s the Stoweblank TinyMix, a – well, I’m not sure exactly what you call it. It’s not an amp or a sound processor. What it does, is allow you to connect up to four devices to one set of powered speakers.

When I recently updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5, something went wrong and I lost the backup of my iPad 2 – which meant I had lost all my pictures and notes from the iPad 2. Of course, iOS 5 lets you backup everything to the cloud now, but I’m still a bit upset

I am guessing pretty almost every parent has had a moment where your little one has decided to wake just at the sight of sunlight in the morning, ready to take on the day hours before you would like him or her up. Zazoo Kids has created the Zazoo Photo Clock to help alleviate some

When I recently received the Targus Versavu Keyboard and Case for iPad 2 for review, I also received a Targus Stylus at the same time. I thought I’d save the stylus for a separate review, and I thought it would be perfect for the series of holiday gift idea reviews Julie had planned. Let’s give

The FishEyes Rod and Reel reminds me of the Ronco Pocket Fisherman from days gone by (I was surprised to learn that they are actually still available!). It’s a fishing “pole” with a high tech twist. Attached to the end of the line is a camera that you can use to watch fish in the

Julie has used a WaterField Design Wallet (see related posts at the bottom) for a few years now that she says is big enough to carry her ID and cards, some cash, and even her phone. She says it’s her go-to-lunch bag that she can just stick in her pocket. I wanted a wallet like

Sivlerlit did well when they named this toy the 3D Twister because my play (err…I mean precise testing methodology) mostly involved watching the car skitter around our home and later our concrete driveway literally flipping, spinning, hopping and jumping around. At full throttle the car looks more like a frenetic animal than a toy car,

Most of the watchband cases for the iPod nano have one thing in common – some part of the iPod comes into contact with your skin. People who wear their iPods while exercising or working intensely find it eventually suffers damage from coming into contact with sweat. Quad Mountain has developed a watchband for the

There are various wines out there, red, white, Chablis, Riesling, etc. but no matter what kind of wine you desire there are those out there that like their wine served at room temperature and some who prefer it chilled. However, keeping wine in one’s refrigerator can make the wine too cold and not properly

You gotta love a company like Grado. They’re a family-run business out of Brooklyn, NY who make various cartridges and headphones in many price ranges. They have won countless audiophile awards by refusing to adapt to the latest trend or gimmick. One look at the design of their headphones, and you might think they were

I hate to sound like Andy Rooney but have you ever noticed those bulky camera straps that hang around your neck? They’re supposed to hold your camera and supposed to allow you to port your camera about and it’s supposed to be easy. Have you ever noticed how heavy and bulky wearing your camera around

Kensington Computer Products Group is one of the old-timers in the computerperipheral business having launched their first product (Apple II System Saver) back in 1981. Kensington’s most ubiquitous product is the K-Lock security slot that is found on many laptops. As Kensington is an established company with a history of quality products I felt relatively

When Julie and I recently reviewed the newest, cheapest Amazon Kindle e-Reader, I mentioned that I had ordered the lighted cover for it. The Kindle readers use eInk screens, which don’t have any backlighting. A lot of people say the more paper-like nature of eInk screens is easier on the eyes, but apparently their eyes

I received a handful of iPhone 4 cases to review over the last several months, including the Crimson Aluminum Frame Case. Its design and form-factor set it apart from the rest of the crowd. My hope was the design would allow better reception while not compromising on usability or protection….we shall see.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only person who was disappointed a month ago when Apple failed to announce the iPhone 5 after many months of rumors and speculation. Instead, we were offered the iPhone 4S – an evolutionary instead of revolutionary update to the one year old iPhone 4. Even though I wasn’t eligible for an upgrade,

Powerline Ethernet may be the least understood and used technology for networking. It’s a shame because it’s so easy to use and is more reliable than WiFi. The good news is that there are more vendors offering products in the space, Intellinet being the latest. Their Powerline AV500 Ethernet Adapter provides a true plug and

“The pen is mightier than the finger” -Ian 2011 (Apologies to Edward Bulwer-Lytton) Let me start this article by saying that if you’re looking for a technical review of the new Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet then this is not the article for you. There’s quite a few speed and feed reviews out there, but what I want to
