Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
Several weeks ago Dave posted an article about reading magazines on the iPad. Now there is a special iPad magazine app for iPad owners about iPad related topics. Sideways is a monthly publication, but new music and game reviews, as well as free wallpapers, will be updated weekly. The app costs $3.99 and it’s not […]

Last month, I came across a Twitter user who was sharing details about a new type of water bottle, designed to be used during any type of activity, whether it be walking, running, horse riding, fishing or even if you’re hospitalised! They’re called Swiggies and are bottles that you wear on your wrists. I was quite intrigued to

M-Edge makes wonderful cases and covers for a variety of digital book readers – from Kindles to Sony readers and now the iPad. I’ve reviewed a couple of their leather cases and their e-Luminator2 for the Sony PRS-600 Touch reader. I love those cases, so I was very happy when Julie told me that M-Edge

Can you hear me now? Everyone with a cellphone has probably asked that question at one time or another while checking the signal on their phone. I’ve been skeptical of so called signal boosters after reviewing the the Cell Ranger PORT Signal Booster a few years back, but agreed to try the CelLynx 5BARz Road

This is an amazing phone to hold and use. I haven’t been this enchanted by an electronic gadget in quite some time. It seems like it can do everything- sometimes almost reading my mind. Of course, there is the occasional ‘huh’ moment trying to figure something out that should be a piece of cake, but

The SLAPPA M.A.S.K. is a serious backpack. It even comes in its own bag! I’ve had a lot of backpacks over the years but this one tops them all. Last weekend I went on a business trip and used the bag as my suitcase and was able to get all my stuff in for this

If you own a dog, you have to incorporate his schedule into the family’s schedule. Every day, you have to make sure your dog is walked at least a few times and fed a couple of times each day. If your dog requires it, you may also have to give him medicine. If you are

I do love cases from Vaja…. Without a doubt, walking away; I am a definite FanBoy. Its their nearly unmatched craftsmanship, premium leathers, unique designs, I could go on & on. Vaja’s i-volution Top SP Blackberry Storm 2 case is no different. I know I am gushing a bit, but for those of you who

Because I had previously reviewed and loved the M-Edge leather cases for the Sony PRS-600 Touch reader, Julie thought of me when M-Edge offered some iPad items to The Gadgeteer. Of course, I was more than happy to give anything from M-Edge a try. Because the iPad is already rather large and heavy, I thought

As relentless as the e-reader trend has become, so to is our quest at the Gadgeteer to provide readers with even more ways to dress up their luxury literary devices. While the sleek, minimalist design of Amazon’s 2nd generation Kindle happens to be one of it’s most alluring features, sometimes we simply feel the urge

As more and more new electronic gadgets are developed, the need to keep them charged and ready to use is becoming an even greater challenge. When we’re at home, it’s quite straight forward, as many of us choose to power our gadgets via the computer, or direct from the electricity supply.

Much like the movies or music they’re meant for, earbuds are a highly subjective gadget. Something so mundane can literally run the gamut of options–heavy bass, no bass, in ear, on ear, plastic, metal, etc and spark heated debate as to superiority. I am in no way an audiophile, but I can hear and appreciate

Some time ago, I saw an iTunes commercial where they demonstrated an app that could “listen” to a song and tell you what it is and who performs it. This app was just what I needed. No longer would I hear something on the radio that I liked but had no idea what it was

The Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ series of USB flash drives provide the expected level of performance for a USB memory stick, with the added security of password protected access and 256-bit AES Hardware Based Encryption, for a slight premium in cost over non-secure storage. In exchange for this protection you give up the ability to boot

It has been more than 20 years since I have regularly carried a backpack (college to be exact). It was a ratty (at least by the time I got done with it) old JanSport with mediocre construction, little comfort, and zero accommodations for tech-stuff, being the 80’s and all ;). Jumping to present day, today’s

I’m going to buck a trend here and say that getting older, by and large, does not suck as much as I was led to believe. I’m 32 and while half of my readers will be saying something akin to, “Old? That’s not old! I’m old! That young sapling is talking foolishness again!”, it’s nevertheless

It’s been almost 3 months since the iPad came out and it’s still my favorite gadget. I’m having fun reviewing cases and styli for it, but today is my first iPad stand review. It’s the Joule iPad Stand from ElementCASE. I reviewed one of their custom iPhone cases last year and was impressed with their

I’ve been looking for a SATA drive docking station that’s both easy to use and reasonably inexpensive. A while back I looked at the Startech unit, but it seemed more than necessary for a home application. Today I have the Cirago docking station and it may be the answer to my requirements.

Buy one. That’s the review. Just buy this UPS. This device will save your computer’s butt. I know from personal experience. On Monday morning, May 10 about 4 am, another typical Indiana spring storm blew through my small Mayberry-esque town. A dead branch from my neighbor’s 200 year old white oak sheared off and hit

For years now, my family has used neoprene lunch bags from a company called Built. (As I recall, they used to be called BuiltNY.) These bags are sturdy, well-made, and they come in a variety of colors and designs. They hold up really well. We’re still using the bags we bought several years ago. Built
