News, reviews and articles about iPhone, iPad and iPod devices and accessories.
Guitarists who want to record directly into their computer or iPad have had to rely on some sort of interface, and The Gadgeteer has reviewed some of them.

I upgraded my iPhone when the iPhone 5 was released. Of course, new phones mean new cases and covers, and usually there’s a delay between the iPhone release and the availability of cases for it.

Despite what Steve Jobs so vehemently declared, Apple has just released a smaller version of the iPad. Well, I guess technically Steve said Apple would never release a 7″ tablet, and the iPad mini is a 7.9″ tablet, so Apple didn’t quite make a liar out of him. I already had the “new iPad”, and

For those of you who were not old enough to remember or alive during the ’80s, how good your stereo/music system was considered was directly proportional to how big/massive/insane your speakers were.

Some time ago, Sony released an Android app that allows you to read ebooks purchased from the Sony Reader Store on your smartphone or tablet. They didn’t issue a reader app for iOS at the time; they were too busy whining that Apple was suddenly enforcing their price-splitting policies for in-app purchases. I was greatly

I recently posted about using Ziploc Big Bags to keep my daughter’s laptop dry in her backpack.

Power – it’s what runs a Gadgeteer’s digital lifestyle. Until solar power is everywhere or we discover a perpetual motion machine or invent the Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor that works on kitchen waste, I guess we’ll just have to deal with power plugs and wall warts.

If you’d like the sound on your iPhone videos to match the quality of the visuals, you will need to use an external microphone. Then you’ll have two pieces of equipment to juggle while you film, unless you use the MiC and Zacuto Zgrip iPhone Jr. handgrip kit from Apogee. The MiC is a studio-quality cardioid
