I’m going to make an admission: I’m not a big fan of video. I mean who wants to sit through hours of boring footage just to get to those few exciting moments? And who can be bothered editing their video to capture just the highlights? Of course digital video, YouTube, and the proliferation of video-capable devices makes […]

Remember the Sony UX and OQO handheld PCs from several years ago? The Highton MI15 from Dynamism is a fresh new look at pocket PCs. And I’m not referring to the pocket PC PDAs of days gone by, I’m talking about a true PC in your pocket. The Highton runs a full version of Windows 7

Recently I had the opportunity to spend 4 hours test driving the new 2013 Ford Escape small SUV through Northern California’s wine country. Ford has come a long way since the first Ford I bought, a 1956 Fairlane. The Escape is quiet, solidly built, fuel efficient and loaded with tech and convenience features, none of which

For 99.9% of the things you do on your smartphone you don’t really need a stylus. But if you’re as addicted to Draw Something as I am, you may find that a stylus is almost a necessary accessory (say that 3 times fast for bonus points). At least if you want your opponent to be
Come on admit it, you really want one! Well I do anyway, and the field of 3D printers is getting better and cheaper. We reported on the Makerbot Thing-o-matic in August last year, a “consumer” 3D printer for $1299 at the time. Well former Makerbot COO Samuel Cervantes now heads up Solidoodle and they’ve just released

I recently reviewed the Wrapsol Ultra Screen Protector on my new iPad. Wrapsol also sent along their Non-Slip Grip Pad for Large Tablets for our review. It is “engineered to optimize usability and to help prevent slip-and-fall damage to your tablet.” Those slippery, expensive tablets we all love could certainly benefit from being less slippery,

I travel a great deal throughout the country and do my best to survey what the tech folks are using along the way. This is especially true in the airports, where people (young children to little old ladies and everything in between) are killing time on their various electronic devices. Over the past year or

A couple weeks ago, The Gadgeteer had a news post about Brick Brites, clear plastic LEGO-like building blocks. They’re different from regular LEGO blocks because they have motion-activated blinking lights built-in to add some excitement to your LEGO constructions. How do you improve upon the LEGO brick? I had to see what this was all about.

The Brydge iPad keyboard case, a Kickstarter project, looks very promising. It features a full-sized keyboard in an aerospace-grade aluminum body, and it has a patent-pending hinge system that uses friction and magnets to securely hold your iPad – even when you try to shake it apart.

If you enjoy painting on canvas, you might find that you also enjoy “painting” on an iPad. Or if you’ve never painted before, doing so on a tablet is fun and way less messy. I am a doodler and don’t claim to have any talent whatsoever. I just enjoy drawing cartoons and thingamabobs whenever I’m

I like the AA battery style design of Duracell’s new 32 GB Rugged USB Flash Drive. They feature a solid, Black rubberized housing with the famous copper ring.

I’ve been on a quest to minimize the gear I need to carry to charge/sync my electronics. My current cable/connector bag is 10.5″ X 4.5″ X 3.5″ and weighs 1.75 pounds. It’s stuffed with cables I almost never use, so it’s hard to find the one or two cables I do use. I certainly don’t

I love finding gear that’s still designed and manufactured in Australian, as so much of it has been outsourced overseas. Brisbane Outdoor Gear (BOGear) from Queensland’s line-up certainly fits that criteria. They’re made out of local materials where available and using reclaimed materials such as PVC billboards, and they even try to use recycled products for the patterns used in
