This next product is designed for the athletes, and all else who care about their heartrate. This is the Mio Alpha BLE, and it is a watch with a continuous heart rate display, which two light beams that detect the heart rate. I actually believe that there are a lot of watches that can do that, but what is different about the Mio Alpha is that the user can set heart rate … [Read more...] about Mio Alpha BLE heartbeat watch

I think we all know how influential Instagram is in our socially-connected society, and it is only reasonable that there be consumer electronics devoted to it.

What you are … [Read more...] about Polaroid planning to make the Socialmatic camera, made for Instagram addicts

I think we all know that there are still places in the world that have no access to the easy electronics that we take for granted. Every time there is a blackout, I can't help but wonder how people leave without electrical light. There is a new Kickstarter project known as Soccket that is designed to work as a ball and a light at the same time. The ball is designed for … [Read more...] about Soccket Energy-absorbing Soccer Ball

It really is nice that we live in a world where a maker of mobile phone accessories can make a good living. I have reviewed a lot of them in my years of experience, but this would be the first time I have reviewed a SEIDIO case. Fortunately, I had a chance to review two. I'll start with the ACTIVE case. It is light with dual-layered protection, with one of them being … [Read more...] about SEIDIO Active and Convert Cases for the iPhone 5

I have mentioned before how the accessory business is not really prepared for the mobile age, but HEX is really on the ball with this. They really have something going with Axis Wallet/Case for the iPhone 5, and now something just as good with the Cabana Laptop Tote. HEX calls this a "game changer", and I have heard that phrase way too many times to let it become a … [Read more...] about HEX Cabana Laptop Tote

I don't know whether you have seen The Hunger Games movie, but I found it odd that the poor people of District 12 had small projectors for televisions in their households. I guess the people from Capitol really wanted people to watch The Hunger Games. That, or projector technology has become so cheap that anyone, even the most poor, can afford a projector TV. I have been … [Read more...] about The Viewsonic PLED-W200 Projector

I've actually lost track of how many Folio cases that I have reviewed recently. There was that MagFolio Luxe for the iPad and the FitFolio for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 both of them by Speck. The Stand Up Folio for the Apple iPad comes to us from our friends at Cellairis, and it does the usual stuff that a Folio case does: cover the device and become a stand when … [Read more...] about Cellairis Stand Up Folio for the New iPad

I really believe that we are looking at an era where the wallet is going to be passe as more and more functions leave our wallet and become apps on our smartphone like the MasterCard MasterPass. The Axis Wallet for the iPhone 5 is ready to handle the transitional period between digital cash and actual credit cards and cash. The Axis Wallet is made with pockets for credit … [Read more...] about Axis Wallet for iPhone 5, by HEX

I have been reviewing a lot of wireless Bluetooth headphones lately, and I was disappointed that the Zoro Fashion Hi-Fi Headphone or Cellairis Zoro High-Def Stereo Headset was wired, but I am not disappointed that I have to 'wear a wire" with these guys. I found that the Zoro Stereo Headphone made a lot more noise than I thought it would. It is slightly smaller than the … [Read more...] about Zoro Fashion Hi-Fi headphone

In all fairness, Mobile World Congress is still going on in Barcelona, but I thought I would take some time to review some of the cool phones that were unveiled there.

I suppose that we all know that the post office isn't really a dying industry, but so many other services (UPS, FedEx) and technologies (e-mail and IM) can replace it completely. Of course, there is nothing that can replace getting physical mail, but a company would like your snail mail as electronic as possible. Their technology actually puts physical mail on your … [Read more...] about Outbox could be the end of snail mail as we know it

I am not certain how long this one has been in the making, but I have heard rumors that a sequel to Titanic was coming. I'm not talking about the famous James Cameron movie, but the ship. An Australian billionaire named Clive Palmer wants to re-create the original magic of the White Star ship, only without the tragic maiden voyage. The Titanic II will be a replica of the … [Read more...] about My Heart will go on with the new Titanic II in 2016
