I have seen a lot of interesting products designed for fitness which are bands that link with Bluetooth to a mobile device. The purpose is to track one's workout with the appropriate app, like the Body Media band. Sportline has come out with an entire product line of fitness trackers and activity monitors, and I had a chance to try out the SYNC Burn. It tracks the user's … [Read more...] about The Sync Burn from Sportline
Blue-Wi Nighthawk Bluetooth Lapel Microphone

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

Manfrotto KLYP iPhone 5 Flash
Since many of us are using our phone like we are using cameras, it stands to reason why someone would make a flash for a smartphone. This is exactly what the company Manfrotto has done with the KLYP made for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4. I had a chance to try out the KLYP, and it reminds me of a clip on a rifle. At least the types that you see in films when an assassin snaps … [Read more...] about Manfrotto KLYP iPhone 5 Flash
The Cosmopolitan iPad Cover by idAmerica
As you can imagine, this is going to be one of my product reviews where I state that I have reviewed a lot of products similar to this. Generally, this is where I say that some product (in this case, an iPad case) must be really different to stand out from the competition/imitators. In the case of the Cosmopolitan by idAmerica, it is quite similar to Orion Leather case … [Read more...] about The Cosmopolitan iPad Cover by idAmerica

Boomerang: One iPad mount to rule them all?
I have seen a lot of iPad mount/stands since the Apple tablet's release, and I will have to say that the Boomerang from XVIDA could be "the total package". The quote about the total package comes from Chris Johnson, the founder of BiteMyApple, a place to buy Kickstarter projects for Apple projects. The reason why the Boomerang could be all that is because it doesn't … [Read more...] about Boomerang: One iPad mount to rule them all?
Paperdude: An Oculus Rift and Kinect tribute to Paperboy
I think this would truly show your age if you remember a game known as Paperboy. There may be a lot of readers who don't know what it is, but it was a mid-eighties stand-up arcade game where you played a paperboy. The game had a bicycle handlebars as a controller, and your character dodged obstacles like cars backing up and more.

I don't know about you, I have a case with a cover that allows me to close up my Galaxy S III.
