Lenovo Speaker M0520

s100_accessoriesI got a chance to try out these M0520 speakers from Lenovo, and I was pretty impressed.

The specs are an output power of 1W + 1W, with a frequency response of 90Hz-20kHz. These are two-inch speakers and they are louder than they look.

I would have to say that it is definitely good to have them, as they plug into the USB for power and then in the headphone jack of your laptop or MP3 player. In no time at all, you have superior sound!

You should be able to pick up the Lenovo Speaker M0520 for about $29.99 on the official site for $29.99.

Agloves keeps your hands warm while you touchscreen

aglovesI’m sure that all smartphone or tablet users have encountered this problem with a touchscreen interface, especially those who have wait at a bus stop on a cold winter morning.

The dilemma is this: I want to use this downtime to work on my favorite touchscreen gadget, but in order to do that, I have to take off my gloves. Then my hands will get so cold that they shatter!

Okay, I over-exaggerated that last part. The Agloves are designed so that you can use a touchscreen in cold weather, provided that you are wearing them. This is possible due to a design that uses real silver.

You should be able to pick up a pair of these gloves for about $17.99 on the Amazon site.

Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation

mophie juice packIf you never heard of Mophie before, you should really get to know them. They make these external batteries for the iPhone or other type of smartphones.

I recently had a chance to check out the mophie juice pack Powerstation, and it came with a micro-USB to USB battery cable for charging. It even has inidcator lights on the side so you can see how charged it is.

Once it is all charged up, you have some extra power. You will need your phone, tablet, or camera’s charging cord, and hopefully it has a USB male plug on one end.

All in all, it is good to have one of these around in case of an emergency. You can get it now for about $79.99 here.

The Trax iPhone 4/4S cover

TRAX_iPhone4_Overview_largeWhile I was out CES a week ago, I found a company that puts out a lot of iPhone accessories.

It was Skech, and I got a chance to try out the SKECH Trax. It may not be as unique as the TopKase we did last time, but it does have an interesting magnetic flap for sealing it up. The iPhone 4/4S fits right in, and it even has some pockets designed for credit cards.

By the way, the Trax is made from recycled tire tubing as well as a soft felt interior. You can take pictures and listen to music while the case is closed.

I don’t have a price on these guys, but they come in red, green, and blue. You can find out more about it here.
