I believe that I mentioned after CES that everyone is developing a body monitor, smartwatch, and video goggles. Epson has the body monitor and video goggles, and a cool label maker. Today, I'm going to focus on the goggles, or Moverio BT-200. The BT-200 is a "true binocular display" and it uses a "miniaturized LCD-based projection lens system and optical light guide in … [Read more...] about Epson and the Moverio BT-200 smart glasses
Korus ready to bring its True Hi-Fi Wireless Audio System to you
Core Brands is going to bring a new form of wireless speaker to the world sometime this fall. Now, you might consider it a little premature for me to announce a wireless speaker for the fall in January, as even the networks don't do that for their fall season. You also might be thinking: "Big deal, a wireless speaker, everyone makes those". What you are seeing here is … [Read more...] about Korus ready to bring its True Hi-Fi Wireless Audio System to you
Able Planet True Fidelity NC210SCS Headphones
I am no stranger to Able Planet products, as I have recently reviewed the NC550 Sound Clarity Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones. I was pleased to review the True Fidelity NC210SCSM headphones, and they have that Linx Audio technology that the company loves so much. In fact, it won them some awards at CES a while ago for innovation back in 2006. Right now, I am listening … [Read more...] about Able Planet True Fidelity NC210SCS Headphones
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Dispicable Me series
If you have kids, then you have probably seen these films. I have to admit, of all the animated films that are out these days, this one feels targeted for the younger children. However, like Disney and/or Pixar films, a lot of these films have a lot of adult appeal. At least, the first one does. I wasn't planning on seeing it with my kids when it first came out, but I … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Dispicable Me series
Lifecharge for the iPhone 5 from Ontrion
I suppose today might just be battery case day, as I just finished reviewing Lenmar's Halo for the Galaxy S 4. Now, a product that is almost alike, the Lifecharge for the iPhone 5, made by Ontrion. Like the mobile battery, I usually talk about how I have seen a product like this before. I will admit that it does have the four traditional blue LED lights to show how much … [Read more...] about Lifecharge for the iPhone 5 from Ontrion
Luxi incident light meter attachment for the iPhone 5
I will start by saying that I am probably not the best person here to review this product. This is the Luxi, a diffusion dome for the iPhone's front facing camera. For those who are not aware of what a diffusion dome is, it uses the light from the flash to send some of the light straight to the subject while scattering the rest upward and around 360 degrees, which greatly … [Read more...] about Luxi incident light meter attachment for the iPhone 5
Halo Galaxy S 4 Power Case from Lenmar
Yeah, it is a case that can give your Galaxy S 4 an extended battery life. Sure, you could just get one of those mobile batteries if you want to do that, but why not just give your GS 4 some protection as well? This precisely what the Halo Galaxy S 4 Power Case is designed to do. It might not be a unique product, but what I like is how it literally doubles your battery … [Read more...] about Halo Galaxy S 4 Power Case from Lenmar
Autographer, the camera that you wear
Some of you might remember the Mother technology that I wrote about at CES 2014. I remember that I couldn't stop making Orwellian comparisons to this device. So much so, that I just stopped talking about it because it needed some compliments. Oddly enough, I have no problem with the Autographer, which is probably more 1984 than most tech these days. The Autographer is a … [Read more...] about Autographer, the camera that you wear
Ballistic does the Hydra for the GS4 and serious re-branding
I have reported on Ballistic cases before, most recently, the Hydra for the iPhone 5. It should come as no surprise that the company has made a Hydra case for the Galaxy S4. In fact, this was pretty much all that Ballistic seemed to be showing off at CES 2014. I found this a complete surprise, considering that the history of the company would reveal a whole line-up of … [Read more...] about Ballistic does the Hydra for the GS4 and serious re-branding
Belkin brings “The Internet of Things” with WeMo
Before and during CES 2014, I kept hearing the term "The Internet of Things", and thought it was pretty long for a buzzword. Like most buzzwords, people use them without even really knowing what they mean. As far as I can tell, and from what I have looked up, "The Internet of Things" refers to the trend in devices to be wirelessly connected together. So all those body … [Read more...] about Belkin brings “The Internet of Things” with WeMo
Generation CQ products rock iDevices!
More than a year ago, at CES 2013, I witnessed some very cool products made for iDevices. This was Generation CQ, and I finally got a chance to try them out. Three products, in fact. I will start with Zip Line, made for the iPad. It is a case/folio cover which allows for adjusting for any angle, and yeah, we have seen that before. I suppose the only thing that makes … [Read more...] about Generation CQ products rock iDevices!
Prong makes a case we all can use
You see that headline, that is something you can quote me on, Prong. Prong has created a case and a charger that everyone can use. Just to let you know, it is not another mobile battery. A company known has Prong has created a charger and case for the iPhone 4, 5, and Galaxy S III. The Pocketplug solves a lot of problems as most of us prefer to plug our phone into the … [Read more...] about Prong makes a case we all can use
Hands on with the Jabra Solemate Mini
Some of you might remember the Jabra Solemate, and I was fortunate to try out the Solemate Mini. Personally, I can barely tell the difference between the two. Yeah, I am pretty certain that the regular Solemate plays louder, because bigger is better, right? I don't really have the specs of this, but the Mini has some strong speakers that can give 8 hours of playing time … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Jabra Solemate Mini
H2O Pal connects your smartphone with your water-bottle
While I was in Vegas, I was able to find an entire after-event that was devoted to nothing but Bluetooth. I have mentioned before that everyone and their dog seemed to have a body monitor of some type, but the H2O Pal, which I discovered on the aforementioned Bluetooth after-event, links a water bottle with a smartphone. Yeah, I honestly do not know if this has ever been … [Read more...] about H2O Pal connects your smartphone with your water-bottle
ClearView Audio produces a transparent speaker with Clio
One thing that I have to say about speakers is that they all look alike. You know, with the woofers and the tweeters and the usual mesh in front. The ClearView audio Clio speaker really brings a new aesthetic. As you can see, the Clio is an invisible wireless 2.1 speaker that uses an ultra thin curved transducer made from clear acrylic glass. It can be made for … [Read more...] about ClearView Audio produces a transparent speaker with Clio
