PQIAir

If you follow our ramblings, you’ll know that Julie and I both love our Eye-Fi cards (see Related Items below).

iHome iD55 portable iPhone/iPad/iPod stereo speaker system review

ihome id55 1

One thing I have to say about the iPad is that the speaker isn’t very good.  It’s mono, it’s not loud enough, and it fires toward the back, away from my ears.  Earbuds and headphones work well with the iPad, but I don’t always want to wear them.  Luckily for Apple users, there is a

Ubooly – Teddy Ruxpin reincarnated into a smaller less creepy form factor

ubooly

Teddy Ruxpin (animatronic toy from the 80’s) always creeped me out with his freaky moving eyes and mouth. I never had one but I wonder how many kids were traumatized by that battery operated story telling bear? Fast forward 27 years and we now have Ubooly (say it like oo-boo-lee), an orange marsupial that can

HardCandy Cases announces new Apple iPod nano case

You’ve probably seen the update that Apple gave their iPod nano.  They added a lot – bigger screen, videos, Bluetooth – but they made the body bigger and took away the clip.  It’s too big to wear on a watchband now, and without a clip, you can’t attach it to your clothes, either.  HardCandy has

ZAGGkeys Solo Bluetooth Keyboard and ZAGGfolio iPad case review

I’ve looked at a lot of Bluetooth keyboards and keyboard cases for the three versions of the iPad I’ve owned.  Usually I find the on-screen keyboard is okay for a quick email, but I can’t type well enough with it to enter anything longer than that.  I don’t often need to enter large amounts of

Like all lenses, the iPhone 5’s camera can experience lens flare, resulting in a purple haze in photos.  Lens flare is, according to Wikipedia, “light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens.”  All lenses can have it, but more expensive lenses can reduce it with coatings

Blue Mikey Digital Microphone Review

The Mikey Digital from Blue Microphones is a simple, yet powerful little device.

Everyone, except, of course, the tech “pundiots” (pundit idiots) of the world, knows that iPads and iPhones and even the lowly iPod Touch can be used for more than just playing music or games. There are hundreds of thousands of apps out there, as well as cases, speakers, holders, lens attachments, and tripod mounts for
