Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
In June, I posted an announcement for the JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Back Cover for iPad. As you know, I love a good case, and I’m always looking for a new one to add to my collection. I loved the beautiful Asian-style fabric on these back covers, so I asked Julie if she’d request a red […]

I have an e-book reader I’m finding that I want to put everything that I have that is on paper into the device: books, magazine articles, users/owners manuals, cheat-sheets, blah, blah and blah. But after spending several hours scanning an out-of-print book that was falling apart using my standard Epson desktop scanner a few weeks

The iPad makes a great digital photo frame, eBook reader, magazine reader, web surfing device and gaming device. But can it also make a great alarm clock? The folks at Fishbone Studio think so.

Remember the Quirky Beamer iPhone case review I posted earlier this week that has a built in LED flash? Here’s a better option in my opinion. It’s the SparkPLug Plug-in LED flash for the iPhone. Unlike the Beamer, the SparkPlug will work with any model iPhone. It’s a tiny LED flash that plugs into the

At one point or another, we all find ourselves in a situation where it would be beneficial to be a fly on the wall; whether it’s to figure out who it is that keeps stealing Netflix envelopes out of your mailbox, to keep an eye on the babysitter, or to reveal an even more unfortunate

One feature that has always been lacking in Apple’s iPhone and iPod family that many other MP3 player models have had is an FM receiver. Though many may scoff and offer a flippant, “Who cares about radio?”, it’s a feature that was sorely missed when my wife switched from her Sandisk Sansa MP3 player to

I am all about convenience. Any thing that makes life easier, takes up less space and works well, is all-good by me. The Magic-Pro Tiny Keyboard from Pyramid Distribution makes my life easier. It is a keyboard, mouse and laser pointer that I can hold in the palm of my hand. The same size as

When you have an iPod instead of an iPhone, it’s not vital that you always have power. But it is very irritating to be listening to music or watching videos and have the thing die on you, isn’t it? Several companies offer emergency chargers for iPods, but many of them seem to be little bricks

The iPhone 3G / 3GS built in camera does a pretty decent job taking pictures. I especially like the macro capability. There’s one feature missing from the camera that we’re seeing added more and more to mobile phone cameras. An LED flash. Sure, you can upgrade to the new iPhone 4 which does have one.

I don’t buy my phone based on the camera, but there is a lot of truth to the adage that the best camera you have is the one that is with you. The cameras keep getting better and better with each generation of phone. The camera in the Droid X is an 8 megapixel camera

I’ve had my iPhone 4 from the first day it became available. Like others, I suffered from the grip of death antenna issue. Luckily, I had a new case made especially for the iPhone 4 to solve the issue for me (at least till Apple comes out with a software patch). It’s the Moto Skin

Working in a corporate office setting like I do, meetings are a fact of life. Heck, at Cummins, we have meetings to talk about meetings. No, I’m not kidding… Although I have to attend more meetings than I care to, I’m lucky that I don’t have to present them. Recently I overheard one of my

I have had the opportunity to try many high-end headphones and earbuds over the years; from the Bose QuietComfort 2/3 headphones to Future Sonics’ atrio m5 professional earphones. I have become increasingly finicky and judgmental about which earbuds I use to listen to my music. My current favorites are the Etymotic Research hf5 High-Fidelity earphones;

I’m always on the hunt for spacing-saving, lighter-weight gadgets for my gear bag.

It was even smaller than the
