These cute little speakers from iUi look like someone pulled a side mirror off someone’s MINI Coooper and turned it into a speaker. They connect wirelessly to your audio device through Bluetooth (AAC and apt-X Codec) or NFC; if your device has neither, the speakers also have a 3.5mm aux-in jack on the back. The IUI

If you’re giving or getting a new iPad mini with Retina display for the holidays, you’re probably thinking about cases for it, too. Consider the StyleFolio from Speck for a full-body protective case.

I’m not very big on playing with toys, but when Brando offered the Nano Falcon R/C helicopter by Silverlit, it piqued my curiosity. It’s billed as the World’s smallest, according to the Guiness Book of World Records. Having never attempted to fly a remote-controlled helicopter, I went for the new experience. What could go wrong?

I’m a recent “convert” from iOS to Android. After owning first-and second-generation iPads, along with the iPhone 3GS and 4S, I decided to move over to Android, since those devices had more interesting features and naturally integrated with all the Google apps that I used. With more features coming out in Android OS updates, I’ve

It’s the holidays once again, and if you are like me, you are searching for the perfect gift for that one tech savvy person in your life – that one person who finds a tech product they like and use it until its demise. If you have one of those in your life and they
I think the Smart Covers Apple sells simply do not do their iPads justice. To create such a great tech-sexy piece of hardware only to cover/protect its screen with plastic is just tragic… and to charge $40 for it to boot. Well, as the story goes, I was dancing the Net looking for a worthy

Jeff Morin has other successful

As any kid knows, the Christmas stocking is integral to the gift-receiving process, and the larger the stocking means the more presents that could be stuffed inside. But as an adult, you’re probably in need of something a little bigger, maybe more expandable, and definitely more impressive. And how about… tactical? The MOLLE Elite Tactical
