In case you are wondering what you are seeing here, it is a scooter. The MOVEO can actually fold up to fit in a small space. How small? Not small enough for above the airline seat luggage compartment, but definitely pretty small. The carbon-composite body weighs in at 55 pounds, and, as you can see, it wheels pretty conveniently behind them. When this thing is unfolded, … [Read more...] about MOVEO Scooter folds up like wheeled luggage
Vyne iPhone Stand
I am always interested in reviewing unique iAccessories, and this one, the Vyne, reminds me of the Octa that I saw at CES. The Vyne is designed specifically for looking at videos on the iPhone, but you don't need to obscure the screen with your thumbs in any way. As you can see, the Vyne wraps around the neck so it can hover by your eyes. I can see one use for this. … [Read more...] about Vyne iPhone Stand
Speculative Fiction Friday: eXistenZ
For some reason, 1999 was a year for a certain type of genre of speculative fiction that dealt with people completely immersing themselves in virtual worlds. There was The Thirteenth Floor, a film about entering a simulated world, and then there was the king of this new dystopian science-fiction, The Matrix, which I consider to be one of the greatest films of all time. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: eXistenZ
Hands on with Ventev products
Years ago, I first met Ventev at a CTIA conference, and they had a lot of interesting accessories necessary for the mobile lifestyle. What you see here are two products I tried out, the Wallport r2200 dual USB Universal Rapid Charger ($30-$35) and the Wallport e1100 single USB Universal Ecocharger ($20-$25). These are simple chargers with a USB-to-micro-USB cable made for … [Read more...] about Hands on with Ventev products
Hands on with IUI Design’s Mirror Boombox
I first encountered the Mirror Boombox from IUI Design at CES, and I was pretty impressed by it, especially in a market full of Bluetooth Speakers. After all, it isn't every day that you see a Bluetooth speaker that looks like a side view mirror ripped off at Mini Cooper. Actually, I don't know whether or not the Mirror Boombox is specifically designed to mimic the cars … [Read more...] about Hands on with IUI Design’s Mirror Boombox
BlueAnt gives us the Endure, a resilient Bluetooth headset
Nothing I like more than reviewing Bluetooth headsets, and I was pleased that one of the leading Bluetooth headset companies, BlueAnt, makers of the Ribbon, sent me one of their latest, the Endure. I believe that the Endure is so named because it can withstand a lot of things that happen in daily life. It boasts that it can deliver clear audio in wind speeds of about 25 … [Read more...] about BlueAnt gives us the Endure, a resilient Bluetooth headset
The Sensia 200D Connect from PURE should be a media hub in every house
I can't remember the first time I saw the Sensia 200D Connect, but it is probably a few years ago, when I saw it at CES. That's right, I did say a few years ago, so the Sensia, or something like it, has been out since then. Since then, I have been wanting to review it, and I am so glad that I did. You may say that my wanting to review it so bad may have tainted my actual … [Read more...] about The Sensia 200D Connect from PURE should be a media hub in every house
iPad and toilet paper holder from CTA Digital
For some reason, CTA Digital is working on ways of bringing the iPad into the bathroom. At CES, they had the iPotty on display, and I will admit that it is odd to have a potty-training seat with a place for an iPad. For those grown-ups who take their iPad to the toilet, you might want to consider this alternative, also from CTA Digitial, which is officially called the … [Read more...] about iPad and toilet paper holder from CTA Digital
Duo Pinball makes pinball possible for the iPad
I always love reviewing products from Discovery Bay Games, and I consider myself fortunate to get a hold of the Duo Pinball. The Duo Pinball is much like the Duo Gamer that I reviewed the other day, as it is an iPad accessory made for gaming. In this case the Duo Pinball is designed for one game, and that is, of course, pinball. All that is required is syncing the iPad … [Read more...] about Duo Pinball makes pinball possible for the iPad
Hands on with the Lite Brix Laser Copter
While I was at CES, I had a chance to check out some awesome building bricks that glowed known as Lite Brix. Of course, I had to try them out, as I wanted to see the secret of this glowing effect in order to satisfy my Lego enthusiasm. First of all, I can tell you that Lite Brix are compatible with other building blocks, including the one that starts with an "L" that I … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Lite Brix Laser Copter
BowBlade turns a handset into a way to practice archery
It seems like mobile phones have the craziest accessories, and I will have to admit that the BowBlade is one of the most cool and most unusual. Apparently, it is useful for 35 existing applications on iOS and Android. I honestly had no idea that there were any games were people could go around shooting with bows and arrows like they are in The Hunger Games. The BowBlade … [Read more...] about BowBlade turns a handset into a way to practice archery
RockSteady XS, a small rockin’ Bluetooth Speaker
Okay, I will have to admit that I am starting to lose track of the Bluetooth Speakers that I have been reviewing lately. Just to let you know, the dimensions of the RockSteady XS are quite small at 2" x 2" x 6.5", but it produces 100 decibels of sound, much louder than its competition. Since I talked about what makes the RockSteady XS stand out from the competition, I … [Read more...] about RockSteady XS, a small rockin’ Bluetooth Speaker
Dyson AirBlade solves an age-old problem in the bathroom
Here at The Geek Church, I tend to admire anyone who is thinking better than average. Today, it is the Dyson Airblade Tap. This product is so good, it solves a problem that I didn't even realize was a problem. Think about every time that you use a public restroom, you go to a sink, and then walk to another area to get a paper towel or that hand-blower thing. Now imagine … [Read more...] about Dyson AirBlade solves an age-old problem in the bathroom
The Razer Orbweaver helps you play the games from your dreams
I first saw the Orbweaver at CES at the Razer booth, and my first instinct was that it was some new kind of gaming mouse. After all, Razer is famous for making famous gaming accessories, many of them gaming mice. I can assure you when I tried it out that there was no mouse motion involved. I'm sure a lot of readers are probably wondering why in the world I thought it was … [Read more...] about The Razer Orbweaver helps you play the games from your dreams
VFree On Ear Bluetooth Headphones from Velodyne
I always like to review headphones, and I wasn't certain what to think about the VFree headphones from Velodyne. I have to admit that the packaging was rather minimalist, with just a plastic mold of the VFree headphones and some minimal info. I then charged them up and synced them to my headphones, and was prepared to test them out. My daughter happened to be in the room … [Read more...] about VFree On Ear Bluetooth Headphones from Velodyne
