Well, today's iHome product isn't like any that I haven't seen before, but it is quite great. The iBT74 color changing rechargeable Bluetooth speaker is a gem of a product, and you can quote me on that. Why would I say something like that? Well, it does kind of look like a gem, you know, a well-polished one. So, there are some really cool color effects that can do this … [Read more...] about iHome Part 2: The iBT74 Wireless Color Changing Speaker

Brydge 9.7 Keyboard for the iPad Air and iPad Air 2
I realize that what you are looking at in the image looks to be an overhead view of a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. However, if you look closer, this is an iPad on a Brydge 9.7 keyboard. Yes, this is a Brydge, and it is spelled as incorrectly as a super-hero of the nineties. When I saw this product on display at CES with an iPad in it, I thought I was looking at a small … [Read more...] about Brydge 9.7 Keyboard for the iPad Air and iPad Air 2
iHome Part 1: The SmartPlug iSP5

Speculative Fiction Saturday, So Bad It’s Good Month: Turbo Kid
Well, we are now reviewing a film called Turbo Kid, and with that title like that, you know it can't be good, but is it so bad that it is good? The answer is yes. Granted, it isn't the best "so bad it's good" movie that I've ever seen, but here's the strangest thing: if this film were released in the eighties, it would have been taken seriously. The premise is about how … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday, So Bad It’s Good Month: Turbo Kid
STM Haven Laptop Backpack
There is nothing like a good STM products, and they make a lot of them. It has been a few weeks since I received the Atlas Wallet case before the iPhone 6/6S and iPhone 6/6S Plus. Now we will be doing the Haven Laptop Backpack. So I have reviewed a lot of laptop backpacks on this site. In this case, the main pocket can probably both hold a tablet and a 15 inch laptop. … [Read more...] about STM Haven Laptop Backpack
Mimoco MimoPower2 and Batman X Mimobot
It seems like I've been reviewing Mimoco products before, and I was pleased to review the MimoPowerTube 2. As far as the MimoPowerTube 2 is concerned, it is a mobile battery. Okay, the only thing to say is that this one has 2600 mAh. Oh, and it comes with a microUSB and Lightning cable, and a carrying case. This one has Kylo Ren, so...(insert Star Wars pun here). It … [Read more...] about Mimoco MimoPower2 and Batman X Mimobot
Our Review of the Boogie Board Play n’ Trace
Well, I mentioned in my review of the Wacom Bamboo Spark how it is really necessary for us to really just draw things out, and sometimes the digital easel actually makes this more difficult. I once talked about the Boogie Board Play n Trace at its initial release, but it is that for kids, but less technical. This is from Boogie Board, the same company that made the Sync … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Boogie Board Play n’ Trace
Secur Products Part 2: Bluetooth Flashlight and PowerBank
Once again, we are here to review another Secur product, and this one is the Bluetooth Flashlight and Powerbank, otherwise known as the SP-5003.

It takes about 5 hours to charge, and the part that is the bulb just pops right off. Why … [Read more...] about Secur Products Part 2: Bluetooth Flashlight and PowerBank

Bamboo Spark from Wacom
We live in an era that really demands that everything be technological, but for those of us that want to write down ideas really quick, pen and paper really is the best thing, really. However, the issue with pen and paper is you have to type it up after that just to get it to jive with the technological world. One of the things that I admire about Wacom is that they are … [Read more...] about Bamboo Spark from Wacom
1More Part 3: Multi-Unit In-Ear Headphones
Well, it looks like we have another chance to try out 1More products, so I'll go with the Multi-Unit Ear Headphones. Unlike the Triple Driver that I reviewed yesterday, this one is a dual driver. I'm told that they have a patented triple layer diaphragm constructed with aerospace-grade metal for high resolution sound and balanced frequency ranges. That is similar to the … [Read more...] about 1More Part 3: Multi-Unit In-Ear Headphones
Kürbis Bt Bluetooth Speakers from Thonet & Vander
I'm pretty pleased with Thonet and Vander, as I saw them on display at CES 2016, and their speakers look like something that would be prized by audiophiles. Sure, I am not an audiophile, as it is always difficult to review speakers and evaluate them for sound as I have only human ears. So, now it is time to give the specs like how Kürbis Bt with a power output of 60 watts … [Read more...] about Kürbis Bt Bluetooth Speakers from Thonet & Vander

It has been a while since our first foray into FOREO, and the company is known for making some high quality electric Health and Beauty Aid products.
