In case you are not aware, there is a a huge conference in Barcelona Spain that perhaps I will attend one day. There are going to be a lot of new phones on display there.

Jakks Pacific RC Hulk Smash
As we go into May, there will be more and more hype for Avengers: Age of Ultron. I have no idea if this toy from Jakks Pacific is supposed to represent some scene from the new movie, but it certainly is a very cool toy. Seriously, not only is it remotely controlled, but it has the Hulk sitting on a Hummer for some wheels. There are stunts like wheelies and spins. In … [Read more...] about Jakks Pacific RC Hulk Smash

CastAR is picking up steam for Virtual Reality
It was about a year ago, we reported on the CastAR, a virtual reality system that had very high aspirations. As you can see by the above video, they are still hoping to get in on this new age of VR. We are not yet living in the age of the Oculus Rift, but these glasses have a projection screen and use two teeny 720p projectors mounted on top of the glasses to send out the … [Read more...] about CastAR is picking up steam for Virtual Reality
Google releases YouTube for Kids App for Android Devices
Well, I think we all know that Google owns both Android and YouTube, so it stands to reason that they have created a YouTube app for Android devices, for kids! Oh wait, it also delivered this kid-friendly YouTube app for iOS devices too. Considering that my kids spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos, it stands to reason why they would do this. It is full of … [Read more...] about Google releases YouTube for Kids App for Android Devices

Weego Rechargeable Battery Pack Compact
Okay, we are reviewing another mobile battery with the Weego Rechargeable Battery Pack! I'm beginning to think that we should change the name of this tech and gadget blog just to talk about it. So by now you know the drill, I talk about how inconvenient it is to have your smartphone and tablet run out of power, and how you need some juice at a critical moment. So it is … [Read more...] about Weego Rechargeable Battery Pack Compact
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers Month, Part 3, Dark of the Moon
I keep calling this film "Dark Side of the Moon", but it is actually "Dark of the Moon". I guess Pink Floyd has the trademark on the former. I would have to say that this is my second favorite of the Transformers series, and I think that it is just because of the action. I remember seeing it in some dollar theater and wishing that I had paid full price to see it in 3D. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Transformers Month, Part 3, Dark of the Moon
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
Mattel’s View-Master comes back!
As a kid, I remember playing with View-Master, a way of putting some 3-D images on your face. The old toy had a viewer with a reel with a switch to flick images that were made to be viewed in 3-D. Mattel recently showed off their newest version of the View-Master, which is essentially a more red and plastic version of the cardboard viewer that debuted at 2014's I/O … [Read more...] about Mattel’s View-Master comes back!

Acme Made Charge™ for iPhone 6
Acme Made sent us this nifty little case for the iPhone 6 (also comes for the 6 Plus). It's called Charge™, but it is not a case that will charge your phone. Instead, it has a kickstand that comes out(the red part). Underneath the kickstand lies the secret to the case- a little Lightning to USB cable that snaps out, so you can hook your phone into a USB port. I suppose … [Read more...] about Acme Made Charge™ for iPhone 6

I think we all know that our tablets and phones are convenient to put in our hands, but they are often not very comfortable. A whole slew of accessories has been created just to make certain that we are comfortable with our tablets and smartphones. The Steelie is a post that you can stick to something of a flat surface, you know, like a tabletop, desk, or something.
