For some reason, I have been reviewing a lot of smartphone stands which involve sticking them there. I have no idea who makes this sticky stuff, but I have seen it in so many places. Recent examples include the Zyroshell Phone Cradle and the TYLT Capio with NFC. The eleMount is unique as it has stick parts on both ends. These elePads can stick to any flat surface, and … [Read more...] about eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
I always get excited when I see devices from science fiction become reality. This is probably why I see a need to report on any device that looks like it came from out of Minority Report. In the case of the GoCuff, it is a holder that fits on the sleeve designed for a smartphone. What science fiction book or film is this from? Why, my own, of course. All right, this is a … [Read more...] about GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
zBoost Metro Cell Booster
It really is all about the bars these days, and if you don't have them, it sort of defeats the purpose of having a cell phone, doesn't it? Fortunately, a company known as zBoost has come to the rescue. I had a chance to try out the the zBoost Metro, which is made for consumers in single story urban settings. It is designed for people who live in 1,500 square feet areas like … [Read more...] about zBoost Metro Cell Booster
Lifeproof nüüd for the Galaxy S III
I have recently done a lot of reviews of Lifeproof products lately, such as the fre for the iPad. I have also reviewed the nüüd for iPad and I have now tried out the Galaxy S III. One of the things about the nüüd is that it is nude. Even though it is made to be waterproof and dustproof, there is nothing really protecting the touchscreen. Seriously, I thought I had mis-read … [Read more...] about Lifeproof nüüd for the Galaxy S III
LG announces the G2
The other day I covered a story about the G2 Quickwindow case. I'm going to be honest and admit that I probably should have covered the G2 first. Well, the G2 was officially announced today, and it is the big news for the day. Now, the real big news is that this phone has no buttons on the side, seriously. Somehow, all the controls are on the back, which allows for a lot … [Read more...] about LG announces the G2
Our Hands-on Review of the SimpleScan SP Simplex
I did a recent review of an item where I liked the product, but the PR person who gave it to me seemed to think that I didn't. I went ahead and changed any wording on the review so it was more positive, but the PR person was not satisfied, even going so far as to ask me to remove the review entirely. For the sake of anonymity, I won't say what the product was, and this is why … [Read more...] about Our Hands-on Review of the SimpleScan SP Simplex

ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
I have tried out Roccat products before, such as the Kone [+] Gaming Mouse. Now that I have had a chance to try out the Kone Pure, I can't help but compare the two. First of all, it is 91 percent of the Kone [+], in size. It has the cool cord but instead of having a 6000dpi Pro-Aim Laser Sensor, this has a 8200dpi Pro-Aim R3 laser sensor. The Kone [+] has an integrated … [Read more...] about ROCCAT Kone Pure Gaming Mouse
Hands on with the Lego Mindstorms EV3
I first covered the Lego Mindstorms version 3, or EV3, at CES last January. I finally had a chance to try out the 45544 Lego Mindstorms Education EV3 Core Set, and it took me very little time to learn how to use, but it has infinite possibilities. The set comes with the EV3 Intelligent Brick, which is a small computer with about 8 ports, not to mention a USB port an SD … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Lego Mindstorms EV3

Blue-Wi Nighthawk Bluetooth Lapel Microphone
I have reviewed a lot of Bluetooth headsets on this site before, and I thought that the Nighthawk from Blue-Wi was just another one. I first encountered it at CES, then again at CTIA, and I have finally received the Nighthawk to try out on my own. Let me start by telling you that the Nighthawk is one of the best Bluetooth devices that I have ever heard. You know how a lot … [Read more...] about Blue-Wi Nighthawk Bluetooth Lapel Microphone
Our Review of Braven 570
Okay, it is time to talk about truth in advertising. Braven is one company that I have talked about before, like with the 855s, and I had a chance to review the 570, also known as "The Life of the Party". I will have to testify that this is true. From the moment I turned on the 570, it made an incredible bass sound, and I am pleased to say that it stays quite loud an very … [Read more...] about Our Review of Braven 570
Olloclip Telephoto plus Circular Polarizing Lens for the iPhone
I have reviewed products from Olloclip before, such as the lens for the iPhone 5 and the Quick-Flip Case. This particular Telephoto and Circular Polarizing Lens (CPL) is a definite step up for the company. The Telephoto and CPL lens has 2x optical magnification, and it works pretty well for that. As an added bonus, the user can easily remove the lens, flip it around, and … [Read more...] about Olloclip Telephoto plus Circular Polarizing Lens for the iPhone

Just when I needed a new keyboard, this myKeyO 6-in-1 USB keyboard is sent to me. This 6-in-1 USB keyboard is pretty special, and I will explain what the six things are right now. The first is the regular keyboard with some cool shortcut keys like … [Read more...] about myKeyO 6-in-1 Computer Keyboard with Restt Technology
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas
Normally on Speculative Fiction Saturday, I try to talk about films that talk about the future an where we are going, technologically-speaking. Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is the first film that I have talked about that is fantasy, like that DawnSinger book I talked about a while ago. Sinbad is really a lesson in technology that we just haven't learned. You see, the … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas
