The mobile lifestyle is really not designed to be mobile. Sure, you can have a phone that travels in the palm of your hand, but what good is it if it weighs you own while you are jogging? I highly recommend getting your hands on the Tune Belt for that. The Tune Belt isn't really a new idea, but like the case for the mobile phone, everybody needs one. It is essentially a … [Read more...] about TuneBelt, for all kinds of mobile devices

Android 4.4 will be called KitKat, so here is more sweet treats you can use, Google!
This statue on Google's Mountain View campus makes it official. For a while, we thought the next version of Android would be Key Lime Pie, but the K is actually going to stand for Kit Kat. This will be for Android 4.4, not 5.0, and I am guessing that there will be a product tie-in. I decided to come up with some names for newer versions of Android. I have been following … [Read more...] about Android 4.4 will be called KitKat, so here is more sweet treats you can use, Google!
Microsoft buys Nokia, and it wasn’t cheap
I wouldn't say that I saw this coming, because I didn't. Part of me should have seen it coming as Nokia is a big supporter of the Windows 8 phone. I believe that the price was 7 billion dollars. I am not certain what impact this will have on the cellular phone industry, as the Windows phone is still only the number 3 operating system on the mobile phone industry. Remember … [Read more...] about Microsoft buys Nokia, and it wasn’t cheap

The Topcor Tech Wallet
I have said this before, and I am starting to become a prophet, but the wallet's days are numbered. As soon as we have mastered all electronic payments, no one will ever have to put that lump in their pocket ever again. Until that day, you can use Topcor's Tech Wallet. I would consider this a merging of the smartphone and a wallet, as you must put a velcro strip on the … [Read more...] about The Topcor Tech Wallet
Hands on with CM4’s QCard Case for the Galaxy 4
I have already reported on the QCard Case for the Galaxy S 4 a while ago, and you can imagine my shock when I saw it in the mail. My initial out-of-the-box impression is that it feels quite squishy to the grip. There is some sort of weird fabric that allows the user to put three or so cards (ID, credit) plus a little bit of cash. The QCard loves to boast about its … [Read more...] about Hands on with CM4’s QCard Case for the Galaxy 4

GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
I always get excited when I see devices from science fiction become reality. This is probably why I see a need to report on any device that looks like it came from out of Minority Report. In the case of the GoCuff, it is a holder that fits on the sleeve designed for a smartphone. What science fiction book or film is this from? Why, my own, of course. All right, this is a … [Read more...] about GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
LG announces the G2
The other day I covered a story about the G2 Quickwindow case. I'm going to be honest and admit that I probably should have covered the G2 first. Well, the G2 was officially announced today, and it is the big news for the day. Now, the real big news is that this phone has no buttons on the side, seriously. Somehow, all the controls are on the back, which allows for a lot … [Read more...] about LG announces the G2

The case essentially has a hole in the case that is a window for the LG G2 in … [Read more...] about LG unveils the G2 QuickWindow Case

The Air Clicker is a Bluetooth enabled camera lens that has a motion sensor shutter button on two kinds of bands. All you need to do is just put your fingers in the right positions, and do a click gesture.
