Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
Darn those displays in the middle of store aisles packed with countless inexpensive ‘gadgets’. I get suckered every time. Light bulb filament replacement kit; yeah, got one of those. Nose hair weed-wacker; my brother got suckered into that one. Tell me you’ve never been in one of those As Seen on TV stores… Anyway, once […]

I don’t have an iPhone, just an iPod Touch, so having a battery die at an inconvenient time isn’t devastating for me. I still have my phone if I need to make a call, so I can feel free to listen to music, use apps, connect to the internet if I’m near WiFi, even play

Last year I reviewed Phosphor’s E-Ink Ana-Digi Watch. It was a nice and simplistic functioning watch with an integrated E-Ink based display face similar to many eBook readers, qualifying it as a semi-techie gadget and worthy of a review. At the time, I thought Phosphor was just scratching the surface of what this kind of

Like many gadget lovers, I personally own many gadgets, mp3 players, cell phones, etc. One thing that all gadget lovers can agree on is that it is a nuisance to constantly charge all of these gadgets. What’s worse is that all of these gadgets use different cables to charge. Don’t you just wish you had

As many of you know from my reviews, I have been on the quest for the perfect gear bag for years now. I have used the Citywalker bag, the Victorinox Horizontal Tote, Ellington Europa Field Bag and even a prototype ballistic nylon bag from Infusion Threads (which I still own and will never sell). I

Since I first heard about how germs spray all around your bathroom when you flush, I’ve been a little icked out by the thought that my toothbrush is stored in there. A couple of years ago, I got a countertop UV sanitizer that stores and sanitizes my family’s toothbrushes. When Julie offered the Zapi UV

Wow, the Christmas elves at Sena have been busy creating some very nice leather cases for the iPhone and iPod Touch. They sent me a nice selection to check out and I thought I’d do a quickie review of them for everyone that might be doing some last minute Christmas shopping.

Being able to keep an eye on our pets and home when we’re not there can be very useful for those of us that tend to worry. For those of us that don’t have a worrying bone in our body (me most of the time), it’s just fun to be able to check in and

My first experience with noise cancelling technology was many years ago when I got bumped up to first class on a Singapore Airlines flight. They offered us the headsets for a 15 hour flight to the West coast US and it made me want to buy a set when I got back home. Unfortunately at that time the options

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine.

Did you buy your current phone

Not too long ago Julie posted a news spotlight on Sanyo’s Eneloop Kairo hand warmer. I love the beauty of winter but hate the cold. I always enjoy going outside with my big coat with many pockets to keep my gadgets in, but my hands are always cold even with gloves! So I went out

The era of the eBook reader is now upon us. Two years ago the Sony PRS-500 eBook Reader came out to little attention. At that time, a lot of people said that eBooks would never catch on. When Amazon released their first generation Kindle, people showed more interest, but not enough to contradict the eBook

The idea of the ValueRays/IGMProducts Warm Mouse Pad is to provide some heat to your mouse hand via the USB ports on your PC. It also touts a 4-port USB hub. It is sold through ValueRays (the same folks who provides the Warm Mouse which I use every day and can endorse). But you can

We’ve all seen and may have even used a wireless keyboard before.

In mid-June of 2009, Palm sent me a Pre, its first webOS-powered smartphone, to try out as a “Real Reviewer.” That program, I was told, was launched to get the Palm Pre into the hands of a few people Palm could count on to use it daily for an extended period (about six months, to

I reviewed the Plantronics Discovery 925 last year and loved its stylish look, great fit, and superior performance. I have been using it regularly ever since. So, the day Plantronics released the, as some say, even more fashionable Discovery 975, I emailed Julie asking if I could review their latest bluetooth headset.

A couple of weeks ago, Julie offered me the HP Wireless Elite Keyboard for review. Since HP states that the product “complements any PC system”, and since she didn’t mind that I had only a laptop, I happily agreed to give it a try. I was surprised when I actually received the HP Wireless Elite
