It has been a while since we reviewed a PhotoFast product, and we now have a chance to review one before it even hits the market. This was the case with the PhotoCube, and Auto Backup Flash Drive. This is a personal review, and it arrived at my doorstep with very little instruction. The version that I had was a 64GB with a USB-C plug-in, and it is fortunate that I happen … [Read more...] about PhotoCube Auto Backup Flash Drive for iOS and Android from Photofast

Loki the Smart Wi-Fi Meat Thermometer Review
Not to be confused with Thor's half- brother, this Loki is the high-tech gadget to make your grilling great! This gadget looks like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie, but it's actually a useful tool for cooking. This sphere with a glowing ring is a meat thermometer that works with your smart phone to tell you when your meat is exactly the right temperature. What's in … [Read more...] about Loki the Smart Wi-Fi Meat Thermometer Review
A New Kind of Drone, Titan, Being Backed on IndieGogo
Normally when we review a product, we get a chance to get our hands on the product. We hope that we'll be able to do a second review when this Kickstarter project comes out, but here is an overview of something we think is really neat! Introducing, Titan- an underwater drone that will produce quality video footage at a depth deeper than its rivals. With a 4K camera and … [Read more...] about A New Kind of Drone, Titan, Being Backed on IndieGogo
Project 475 Kits Will Technologically Prepare the Next Generation
Considering that the younger generation is addicted to tech, it is up to the older one to teach them how to make better tech. This is why there is such a push for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mechanics) education, and there have been a lot of educational toys to help with this. The issue is that many of these educational toys are muy expensivo. As someone … [Read more...] about Project 475 Kits Will Technologically Prepare the Next Generation
PuzzlePhone is on Indiegogo
Generally, I usually avoid writing about crowdfunded projects, but there was something about the name of Puzzle Phone that I liked. It sounds like the perfect smartphone for The Labyrinth House. Yeah, if the Puzzle Phone wants to promote itself, then so will I. Anyway, the Puzzle Phone is modular piece of equipment that has three easy-to-change modules. These modules … [Read more...] about PuzzlePhone is on Indiegogo
The speeC-EZ from iCreation
I recently had a chance to get to know a company called iCreation, and I would highly recommend checking out their products if you haven't already. They now have a Kickstarter project that is called the speeC-EZ. In case you are stumbling on the pronunciation, it is pronounced "Speakeasy". You know, those places during Prohibition that sold illegal alcoholic beverages. … [Read more...] about The speeC-EZ from iCreation
Juicer lets you charge a smartphone with a smartphone
Man, you know I love reporting on crowdfunded projects, and they often come up with some tech that really should be out right now, but just isn't. The Juicer is one of those products. All it is a double ended microUSB cable and you plug one end into one smartphone and then plug one end into the other. One gets juiced, and the other presumably gets drained. Apparently … [Read more...] about Juicer lets you charge a smartphone with a smartphone
Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
You know what is funny? Power used to be synonymous with batteries, but I'm guessing that the battery business went down since smartphones came about. After all, with an app for that, all you need is to charge your phone. Hence the rise of the mobile battery business. I'm going to discuss a new type of mobile battery later this week, but for now, I'm going to discuss the … [Read more...] about Plan V can use a 9 Volt Battery to charge your phone
Flic Button gives your smartphone one-button possibilities
Clearly, our world has changed since Apple told us "there's an app for that". As the video above explains, sometimes you just want to push a button and do something, instead of, I don't know, unlocking your phone and doing it. I have to admire Flic button for doing that. A single press will do one thing, and a double press do another. The things that you can do with … [Read more...] about Flic Button gives your smartphone one-button possibilities
The Pachamas Augmented Reality Pajamas
It has been a while since I have talked about Augmented Reality. If you aren't familiar with it, it is a way to viewing something on your phone or tablet with a special code. Imagine if you have that on your pajamas. Think of it, you actually have something that turn the characters on your soft and warm clothes into something living? Yeah, that is the vision of … [Read more...] about The Pachamas Augmented Reality Pajamas
Bluesmart is a very advanced Suitcase
A few months ago, I reported on the Coolest Cooler, which was a cooler on Kickstarter that had just about everything from a cell phone charger and more. To me, this feels like the ultimate technologicalization (I'm totally copyrighting the word) of a color. Today, I'm talking about another technologicalization of something we all know: the suitcase. This is the … [Read more...] about Bluesmart is a very advanced Suitcase
Dexmo Exoskeleton allows the user to “touch” VR items
In case you are wondering what you are seeing here is not some device that you hook up to your hand and forces you to type. I'm not looking forward to the dystopian world where that exists, but I'm not certain whether or not a work with the Dexmo Exoskeleton by Dexta Technologies will be a perfect utopia. The Dexmo Exoskeleton is designed to track the position of your … [Read more...] about Dexmo Exoskeleton allows the user to “touch” VR items
Hooke, Hooke, give us the 3D sound of the Hooke!
Okay, I know that there has been a craze for 3D vision, and perhaps you as wondering what is 3D audio? Well, if you had the Hooke, then you would know. The Hooke is a pair of Bluetooth wireless headphones that have a microphone in each earbud, also known as Binaural recording. This allows the user to record off their camera and hear the sound all around him/her. Then … [Read more...] about Hooke, Hooke, give us the 3D sound of the Hooke!
SensoTRACK, a wearable health and activity monitor
What you are looking at is not some kind of Bluetooth earphone, but it is one of those wearable devices. The SensoTRACK is not one that wears on the wrist like many health trackers, but on the ear, near a temporal artery. So what does it measure? It can do respiration, heart rates, real-time blood pressure reading, and it even detect oxygen saturation in your body. Then … [Read more...] about SensoTRACK, a wearable health and activity monitor
Hybrid Play combines video games with playground games
It is pretty clear that our younger ones are playing more electronic toys rather than real physical toys. Yeah, I probably didn't even need to say that, because I've seen PSAs saying the same thing since the days of Pac-man. This Indiegogo project really encourages physical play, with mobile technology playing along. You can watch the video to see this Spanish family put … [Read more...] about Hybrid Play combines video games with playground games
