If you have any fantasy about living in such a way that you need to keep a gun under your pillow like James Bond, then you might like this alarm clock gun. This kit has a vibrating alarm clock to buzz under the pillow to wake you up. I am not certain where the projection is, but it looks like you stop the buzzing by "shooting" it off. In case you are worried about … [Read more...] about Alarm Clock Gun wakes you up on the wrong side of the bed

I realize that Samsung just unveiled their new Galaxy Note 8.0 and plan on unveiling the Galaxy S IV later next month. I figure that I might as well get around to reviewing the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 inches), as it was provided for me. I know that my youngest son thought he was looking at an iPad, and I have to admit that the charging cord looks like the 30-in connector that … [Read more...] about My Review of the Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 inch)

I had a good encounter with I-MEGO back at CES, and I will have to say that they have some quality headphones. I was privileged to try out the Throne Gold. As you can see, the Throne has that gold look to it, and you have to admire how the cans resemble radio microphones from days past. That alone makes these pair of headphones very classy, and so does the real leather … [Read more...] about Throne headphones from I-MEGO

Yeah, that Mobile World Congress thing is still going on, and, unless you're close to Barcelona (like me), you're probably missing it. There was a big talk about Samsung announcing the successor to Galaxy S III, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. As the confusing headline says, there is going to be an announcement on March 14th in New York. I'm not certain … [Read more...] about No Galaxy S IV announced at MWC, but there was an announcement of an announcement

Some of you might remember when I covered Speck's MagFolio Luxe for the iPad, and I thought I would take some time to focus on other products from Speck, specifically from Samsung. I'll go ahead and start with the CandyShell for the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is my current favorite phone. It it advertised as a dual-layer, one-piece design. At first I wondered what this … [Read more...] about Speck has cool covers for Samsung products

Since I reviewed the LifeProof fre case for the iPhone 5, I figured that I might as well write about the LifeProof nüüd Case & Cover/Stand for the iPad. Unlike the fre, I don't think I have any problem pronouncing this case. I am assuming that it is pronounced "nude", but there is nothing naked about your iPad when this is on. The construction is definitely minimal, as … [Read more...] about LifeProof nüüd Case & Cover/Stand for the iPad

I was excited about Google Glass when I first heard about it. I have even showed videos from it just recently, and now I have a release date. Well, it is nothing exact, but Google Glass will be out by the end of the year. I even have a price at under $1,500. Yes, I think that is pretty steep, so if you really need this type of organization for your head, perhaps you … [Read more...] about Google Glass has a confirmed released date, sometime by the end of this year

All the big companies from the mobile world are represented, and ground breaking announcements will be made.

Many would say that this 8-inch screen … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is official!

It is true that Folio cases for the iPad are a dime a dozen, and one would have to wonder what Speck, a company most famous for mobile phone accessories has to offer that is anything new. The deluxe form-fit cradle is different as it is made of genuine leather. Most of these folio cases are made of whatever materials happen to be hanging about, so it is good to see a … [Read more...] about MagFolio Luxe for the iPad, by Speck

I have reported on LifeProof's products before for the iPhone 4/4S, and I admired what they are doing for mobile devices by making them able to withstand the subtle and daily tares of life. I have to admire the LifeProof fre case for the iPhone 5, and I am told that the name is pronounced like "free", as in you are free to do a lot with your iPhone. The LifeProof fre case … [Read more...] about LifeProof fre case for the iPhone 5
