These days, just about anything can be done on a smartphone or tablet. So why not Foosball? I can see the appeal. After all, when I was a kid, I remember trying to make a miniature Foosball table after enjoying the game during middle school lunch times. So, I was pleased to try out New Potato's Classic Match Foosball for the iPad. Just to let you know, some … [Read more...] about New Potato Technologies creates a foosball table for the iPad
Jabra Sport Wireless + gives wireless Bluetooth freedom for sporty types
I've always been a big fan of Jabra products, and just after my review of the Solemate Mini, I am pleased to review the Sport Wireless Plus. The Sport Wireless Plus is one of those cool Bluetooth headsets that is actually two Bluetooth headsets in one, joined together with a wire that drapes on the back of the neck. Like most Jabra products, the device verbally prompts … [Read more...] about Jabra Sport Wireless + gives wireless Bluetooth freedom for sporty types
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ender’s Game
I just finished watching this movie about an hour ago, and my reaction of it is...mixed. I will have to say that it didn't utterly suck. Generally, there is an instinct for that when you are watching a bad film, and I have a feeling that repeated viewing of this film will either proclaim it a masterpiece or make me hate it even more. Ender's Game is based on a book that … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ender’s Game
QuikPod is very good for Selfies
Since the word "selfie" became the word of the last year, it only stands to reason that a product like the Quikpod could make this year. What you are seeing is both the Quik Pod DSLR/POV Ultra (bottom) and the Quik Pod Explorer 3 (top). The Quik Pod DSLR/POV Ultra is compact at 18 inches, but it can extend up to 53 inches. It ways about 9 ounces, and is made for the Go … [Read more...] about QuikPod is very good for Selfies
SkyBell let’s your smartphone see who is at the door
The SkyBell is a product that is very similar to the Swann Doorphone Video Intercom that I review a few weeks ago. The Doorphone Video Intercom had a camera that was activated by the push of a doorbell button, and it was wirelessly connected to a monitor. The difference the SkyBell is a video doorbell that connects to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. The doorbell unit has a … [Read more...] about SkyBell let’s your smartphone see who is at the door
Izzi Orbit Pro gives the iPhone four different lenses
The Izzi Orbit Pro is very similar to products from OlloClip, as it is essentially giving your iPhone four different lenses. You can do some quick research about the 3-in-1 or the 4-in-1 at those links. You will note that Olloclip has lenses that you can screw on, but the Izzi Orbit Pro has a handy system for spinning them in place using the patented peripheral motion … [Read more...] about Izzi Orbit Pro gives the iPhone four different lenses
Nuevue case keeps your iPhone clean
I have seen a lot of cases for the iPhone, and most of them are designed to keep Apple's favorite smart phone protected. However, even the best case or screen protector cannot keep the screen or its backside safe from smudges. If you want to just wipe the screen, you can do that, but I am assuming that you don't want to do that. Imagine if you just did it as you went. … [Read more...] about Nuevue case keeps your iPhone clean
WEYE FEYE from XSories
I'm not certain if I can put some product label on the WEYE FEYE (pronounced Wee-Fee), but those who are really into their DSLR cameras will love this. I'm sure their are all kinds of photographers, both amateur and professional that this was made for. I'll start with an explanation of what XSories' WEYE FEYE is. The information that I have about it is that it is an … [Read more...] about WEYE FEYE from XSories
Linkase Pro for the iPhone 5/5S from Absolute Technology
When you review cases for smartphones, it is difficult to tell one from the other. The Halo and Ontrion cases that I reviewed last week give more battery life, but this Linkase Pro is made for boosting the 3G + WiFi signal. That's right, this is a cell phone case that is designed to boost the signal of a phone. I am not certain if this has been done before, but it uses … [Read more...] about Linkase Pro for the iPhone 5/5S from Absolute Technology
Playworld Systems gives tech to the playground
If you go to any playground, whether it be in the back of a schoolyard, or public park, there is something missing. This would be technology. It really is hard to believe that swings and slides haven't really changed all that much since I was a kid, or when my parents were kids. This could change thanks to the NEOS 360 from Playworld. This particular piece of playground … [Read more...] about Playworld Systems gives tech to the playground
Dacor has a smart Range as well as an oven
Last year, I saw a company named Dacor at CES, and I greatly admired their Android connected 30" Stove. Hopefully I will one day be able to afford one in my own household. I guess it stands to reason that this same company would come out with a range for that oven, which is what the Discovery iQ 48-inch Dual-Fuel Range. It is the first range to feature an integrated, … [Read more...] about Dacor has a smart Range as well as an oven
Hands on with the Leef Bridge 3.0
Some of you might remember when we reviewed the Leef Magnet 3.0 Drive. That was a USB Drive that is as magnetic as a...magnet. We all need another USB drive, and I have recently been offered a chance to review the Leef Bridge 3.0, another thing that you might need. That is, if you have an Android smartphone or tablet. The Leef Bridge is a simple device with a USB 3.0 … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Leef Bridge 3.0
HiddenRadio2 Bluetooth MultiSpeaker
I suppose that today must be "crowdfunded Bluetooth speaker day", because I just finished with CoverPlay Audio's Mojo. Now, let's talk about the HiddenRadio2 Bluetooth MultiSpeaker, another Kickstarter project with Bluetooth and speaker power. This speaker, shaped like a half a pill, is made to reveal itself as a speaker with a touch of a button on top. All of the … [Read more...] about HiddenRadio2 Bluetooth MultiSpeaker
The SleepPhones and RunPhones from AcousticSheep
I was fortunate enough to review two new products from Acoustic Sheep. These products are very similar, as they are both headphones in the form of headbands. In case you are wondering why anyone would make such products, then you should think about all the ear strain caused by ordinary earbuds. I mean, I know some over-the-ear headphones really can pinch the ears and … [Read more...] about The SleepPhones and RunPhones from AcousticSheep
CoverPlay Audio’s Bluetooth Speaker, the Mojo, is the world’s thinnest
I've reviewed a lot of Bluetooth Speakers here, and I'm always looking for something unique. I suppose the most unique would be the world's thinnest from ClearPlay Audio, the Mojo. Generally, the Mojo implies something big or cool, and will admit that the Mojo's coolness makes up for its implied size. I said before it is the world's thinnest, and it is about 7 mmm. … [Read more...] about CoverPlay Audio’s Bluetooth Speaker, the Mojo, is the world’s thinnest
