Tokyoflash Japan has introduced a new watch that looks like something that Al would have worn on Quantum Leap. The Kisai Neutron watch has “sub-surface” LED bars that display the time by either pulsing through the four digits and colon or by having them roll up and off the display. The lights can be set […]

If you think Brando’s MicroUSB OTG 3-port hub with smartphone stand which I reviewed recently is cool, you’re going to flip over the MicroUSB OTG 4-port hub also from Brando. It has one more port so that you can connect an extra USB gadget to your Android powered smartphone. Imagine connecting a regular USB keyboard,

I love listening to music or podcasts on my home PC and at my office. Sometimes you just need to tune into something upbeat to get your work done! My desk space is limited, so since I was given the opportunity to try out the Dual Sonic speakers from Satechi, I grabbed the chance. SHARE ON TwitterFacebookPin

Last week I posted a review of the Invisible Gamepad Kickstarter project, which are easy to use stick-on gamepads for smartphones and tablets. I found that the Invisible Gamepad worked better than other stick-on joysticks that I’ve tried in the past (see related reviews at the bottom of this post), but it still lacked a

This is the third case I recently received to try with my iPhone 5 from Vaja Cases. The Leather Grip Hardshell Case for iPhone 5 is a leather-wrapped hard backcover case. It’s quite different from the Vaja flip-cover cases I recently review. (Check the related links at the bottom of the review.) This case is for the person

I have an 11″ MacBook Air, and it irks me to no end that most laptop bags that are supposedly designed for this tiny laptop will disclose in the fine print that they will accommodate up to a 15″ laptop. I don’t want my Air floating around in a giant, heavy bag. I don’t even

If you are like me, you are always looking for ways to be a good steward to Mother Earth. One way I do this is by using a water bottle instead of buying bottled water. The issue I have with most water bottles (and bottled waters for that matter) is that they don’t keep my

Kwikset, longtime makers of locks and keys, have announced that their new Kevo deadbolt lock will be available for pre-order starting today.

I’ve seen a lot of waterproof pouches for smartphones and tablets, and they all seem to be a variation of a Ziploc baggie on steroids. They will protect your electronics against water damage, but that’s it. The new Waterproof Portfolio for Tablets from Travelon adds a stand function to the waterproof case, making it easier

I have completely replaced a laptop in my life with my iPad. I discovered this about a year into having my first iPad, when I realized the only time I had moved my MacBook Pro from the desk was when I presented, using both it and my iPad at a few meetings. But, when I’m

Back in the olden days when CRTs had glass screens, I used to use a dry-erase marker to leave myself a note right on the screen for important things I needed to do first thing after getting to work. I don’t dare write on my screens with anything now, so I just have to put

I consider myself an amateur photographer. As such, I have a mid-level digital camera. I also have a rather heavy and bulky tripod that I lug around from time to time, but what I really need is a small portable tabletop tripod that I can throw in my camera bag. The PIXI Mini Tripod from

Several weeks ago I asked everyone on the Gadgeteer team to write up a quick post about their most used mobile apps regardless of which platform they use – Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. So far we’ve had quite a few great posts detailing a nice selection of applications – some I’d never tried before.

Bluetooth keyboards tend to come in two varieties: a case for a tablet you are using with a keyboard built in, or a universal Bluetooth keyboard that is not device-specific. The Neptor ET-KB300BF-WH Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard for Tablets & Smartphones by Eagle Tech, USA falls into the second category. It’s a portable keyboard that can

Vaja Cases have a reputation for beautiful, well-made leather cases and covers. Until recently, I had never gotten to try a Vaja case for myself, and my first experience was with the beautiful Nouva Pelle case for iPhone 5.

Your friendly, neighborhood Gadgeteer team has recently been posting some great news items describing their EDC or their everyday carry gear. I’m a tad late to this party, but hopefully I can make up for it a bit with lots of detailed info on the items I carry and use on a daily basis. Let’s

My better half loves to garden. She has at least 50 (I stopped counting at 40) flower pots on the deck and back porch that are planted with flowers and herbs. Most of the time we enjoy them from the inside looking out because we never seem to have a vase handy. The Modgy MYVAS

I always liked the Bumper case I had for my iPhone 4. I liked that it added a little color and some grip to my slick, white iPhone without obscuring the beauty of the phone. I always wished they had included a polycarbonate cover for the back to prevent scratches to the glass, though. Griffin

Form or functionality? That’s question that often confronts us when we are looking for phone and tablet accessories. There are lots of products on the market that perform great but look only so-so. On the other hand, I often see products that look amazing, only to find their performance to be lacking or subpar. The
