Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
With the advent of computer e Readers, Kindle and Nook, it would seem as though the book in audio form would be obsolete. I’ve never been a big fan of audio books. I like the idea a lot because it makes literature in all forms available to the visually impaired, it’s an interesting way to […]

As I mentioned in the review for the Belkin Grip Vue case for iPad, my husband, Butch, and I both have iPads. We both use the Grip Vue case, and that works fine while using the iPad. We both wanted something that would protect the screen when we’re traveling with the iPad. I don’t mind

When it comes to headsets, I’m really picky. In 2004 when I started playing on-line co-op games with my younger brothers in-law, I shopped around for various stereo headsets with microphones for gaming. They were all either too uncomfortable, or had poor outgoing audio. Eventually, I took drastic measures and made my own, and I’ve

Even though I’ve owned tons of audio/video equipment over the years, I’ve never had a universal remote. The best ones always were very expensive, and the ones I could afford never seemed to actually have enough buttons to handle all the functions of my various pieces of equipment. And who could remember how all those

Julie did an app review on Zinio’s digital magazine service a few years ago. At the time, I tried it for myself and read a few of their free samples/examples on my MacBook. It was an alright experience but was definitely not the same as flipping through an actual magazine. While the Touch/iPhone’s screen is

Monday morning I received an HTC Incredible for review. I quickly determined this is going to be the hardest thing for me to return yet. I am going to take a cue from Julie and do a “Week With” review of the phone.

You’re probably saying “do we really need another mouse?”. These were my sentiments before I received the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 (it is a mouthful). The device does have a hook that makes it a reasonable investment.

Since Bluetooth was developed way back in 1994, its specifications have changed dramatically, and so have the devices that utilize it. However, in my opinion, the vast majority of people who use mobile phones still prefer not to use Bluetooth headsets, even though their ease is quite straight forward. People that I’ve spoken too in the past have always

Spring and Summer will be here before we know it (yes, my fingers are crossed in hope of sooner rather than later) and with warmer weather comes an increase in travel. Whether it is a 12-hour drive south for spring break or a 30 minute drive to a local water park or beach, when the kids are

I was thinking about purchasing a label maker on and off for years. This past winter I remodeled our TV space into a media room. This included laying many wires throughout that room and the house as a whole. The entire time I wished I had a label maker (instead of a fine tipped, permanent

I knew the iPad would make a perfect device for eBook reading, newspaper reading, web surfing and game playing. But I didn’t realize that it could also be the perfect device to replace large format coffee table books. You know the books I’m talking about, the ones you see in the bargain book areas near

Working in the health care industry I do not invest a great deal in my wardrobe. I own ONE suit. I do however, own numerous pairs of flip flops. I firmly believe other than the bikini, flip flops are the best clothing item ever invented (and the only one of the two I can wear….)

I sadly own more headsets that I have holes in my head, and every new headset that comes out gets
