I’ve been waiting for Saddleback Leather Company to release a play through leather case for the iPad since last May when I reviewed their iPad Pouch. The pouch is great for transporting the iPad from place to place, but not for protecting it while in use. I’m happy to say that their new iPad case […]

Do you love sipping lattes at a coffee shop while writing the next best-selling thriller, crunching numbers, or surfing TMZ while looking like you are doing something more important?

Unfortunately, this just isn’t possible in many situations, and otherwise good pictures are sometimes ruined because

I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who are like my family – we have more far devices than we have electrical outlets. Although I have a Charge4All charging tube that can charge my phone, my Sony readers, and my iPod touch, I still have to use the standard iPad charger. I

Ask any iPad owner and they will tell you that taking good care of the iPad is their number one priority. I’m sure many iPad owners have a microfiber cloth to wipe down the “fingerprint magnet” screen and some sort of protective back cover or sleeve to protect the “scratch magnet” backing. As for myself, I

FroliCat toys are made by Brilliant Pets, the people who make the Scoop Free cat litter box, so they know cats. I was sent their three offerings to review- the Dart free-standing laser toy; the Bolt hand-held or standing laser toy; and the Sway, a magnetically mounted cat toy. By the way, dogs may be interested in the

I’ve been using Powerline networking for several years and this is the 4th product I’ve used and reviewed. All the vendors provided ethernet over the AC lines in my house, but I could never quite get the throughput I expected, until now. The Plaster Networks solution has similar hardware, however, they have intelligence built into their boxes

We know the iPhone can do a lot of things, but turning it into a microscope never occurred to me… Brando is now selling an attachement for the iPhone 4 that will do just that. It is a special slide on 60x lens with an LED illuminator. It actually has 3 LEDs. Two for the

Lately, I have been reviewing some really, really expensive earphones and will continue to do so. I do it mainly because I want to educate people about how much more enjoyment can be had from their music with an investment in quality earphones or headphones. That said, there is a huge market for less expensive
