In case you are not aware, there is a big comic-book convention going on in San Diego known as Comic-con. It is a huge gathering for almost everything comic-book related, and for some reason, all the movies and TV related things show up as well. ThinkGeek is having a special today on something Star Wars related, the R2-D9. So what is the R2-D9? I have no idea. … [Read more...] about ThinkGeek has an R2-D9 USB Car Charger, just in time for Comic-Con

Tech Armor iPhone 5 Case is the Thinnest
Every since the iPhone 4 had that defect that required a case to get it to work right, the iPhone case business has been thriving. Of course, most iPhone cases look just the same, but the Tech Armor has one unique feature: it is the thinnest. At least, this is what the company says. I have no idea how true that is, but I had a chance to try it out for myself, and it … [Read more...] about Tech Armor iPhone 5 Case is the Thinnest
Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil
The one thing that I have been looking forward to since last year is the Geonaute camera, which I first saw at CES in 2013 (yes, last year) and still haven't seen available for anything but pre-launch. The Geonaute has what I thought was a unique ability to shoot in 360 degrees, but it looks like VSN Mobil is going to get in on what will probably be a growing market with the … [Read more...] about Capture video in 360 degrees with the V.360 from VSN Mobil
Fugoo Sport Bluetooth Speaker
I've been fortunate enough to review another Bluetooth speaker, this time, it is the Fugoo Sport. I would definitely say that it is the speaker for the summer. For example, if you want to plop this speaker in the sand and listen to your tunes on the beach, the Fugoo Sport is the Speaker of choice. It is also designed to stand up to snow, dirt, and a little water as well. … [Read more...] about Fugoo Sport Bluetooth Speaker
Nvidia Shield Tablet gets an upgrade
You might remember when we first reported on the Nvidia Shield, and it looks like it has been given an upgrade. The Shield is a tablet-like device that is specifically designed for gaming, and this one is larger at 8 inches. It also runs KitKat (Android 4.4), has a Micro SD expansion slot for boosting internal storage up to 128GB, and has both front and rear facing … [Read more...] about Nvidia Shield Tablet gets an upgrade
LifeCHARGE ZEAL Extended Battery Case for the Apple iPhone 5C
I have reported on Ontrion's LifeCHARGE products before, but I believe that this is the first time that I have covered anything the company has made for the iPhone 5C. Clearly, the LifeCHARGE ZEAL isn't anything that I haven't seen before, but it is always needed. The ZEAL is one of those batteries that doubles as a case, or a case that doubles as a battery. I guess it … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE ZEAL Extended Battery Case for the Apple iPhone 5C
Super M from Nude Audio
I've reviewed a lot of Bluetooth Speakers on this blog, and I have high hopes for the Super-M by Nude Audio. I'm not really certain what makes the audio nude on this Super-M, but it has 360-degree sound packed with six drivers. I would imagine that this portable party must be quite loud, and it is shockproof and waterproof. All that, and this guy can fit in your jeans … [Read more...] about Super M from Nude Audio
SOUNDSIGHT Headphones bring a new kind of “sight and sound” market
The SOUNDSIGHT (which apparently is always spelled in all capitals) is a very unique gadget that I have not seen its like before. SOUNDSIGHT is a pair of headphones that have a small camera attached to them. Why would we need this? Come on, haven't you ever been walking down the street, listening to headphones, and you just had to film what you see? Clearly, you are not … [Read more...] about SOUNDSIGHT Headphones bring a new kind of “sight and sound” market
We’re doing an Element Case Giveaway!
I think it has been a while since we did a giveaway, so I might as well do one now, in the summertime, just in time for back-to-school. I'm doing a giveaway for two Element case products, and you can read about both of them here. The first giveaway is the Recon Pro, made specifically for the Galaxy S5. If you have a Galaxy S5, this is what you will want. It is made of … [Read more...] about We’re doing an Element Case Giveaway!
TYLT ENERGI Sliding Power Case for the Samsung Galaxy S5
I have reviewed several cases that doubled as mobile batteries, and yes, I have reviewed the Energi Sliding case for the iPhone. Now I've reviewed the Sliding Power Case for the Galaxy S 5. I like the sliding case because you get the case, but you don't have to lug around the weight that a battery/case gives you. Instead, you get the protection of a case, and just attach … [Read more...] about TYLT ENERGI Sliding Power Case for the Samsung Galaxy S5
Speculative Fiction Saturday: 12 Monkeys
In all honesty, I had forgotten that Terry Gilliam had directed this 1995 film. This isn't to say that 12 Monkeys is forgettable. I guess I like Terry when his films are full of fantastic images and extremely far-fetched premises. In all honesty, 12 Monkeys was a film that I started watching and quit, because it just seemed too dark for me. The beginning is a disturbing … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: 12 Monkeys
ZAGG Rugged Folio Keyboard
Some of you might be looking at the image from this and think it is some sort of deconstruction of a new sandwich at McDonalds. Let me assure you that this is the Rugged Folio for the iPad Air from ZAGG, a company that I have covered more than just once. The Rugged Folio has a wireless Bluetooth keyboard, along with a tough polycarbonate shell and a soft silicone … [Read more...] about ZAGG Rugged Folio Keyboard
Kinivo BTC455 Bluetooth Car Kit with Multipoint
I will be honest that I have seen products like the Kinivo BTC455 before, and I think it is a sign that even the newest car stereos are not set up for Bluetooth. Yes, anyone who wants to play the tunes on their phone in their car just has to use their phone. That is, unless you have the Kinivo BTC455 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit. Basically, you can pair your Bluetooth … [Read more...] about Kinivo BTC455 Bluetooth Car Kit with Multipoint
VIEVU² is a durable, wearable video camera
I have seen VIEVU products before. The first time that I saw them was at my first CES in 2008. Back then, they were new, and the idea of a wearable camera was also not common. Now there is the VIEVU², which is made to be very wearable as well as extremely durable. It is made of the same military-grade tech that law enforcement agencies use. In fact, their target … [Read more...] about VIEVU² is a durable, wearable video camera
WPS Office from Kingsoft comes to Mobile
I don't often review a lot of apps, but as a writer, I can't resist any application that allows me to open just about any kind of document. Needless to say, WPS Office is prepared for the mobile era. For me, I just have to have to work on my laptop. I guess I just need some clicky-click of the keys. However, if I have to view or create a document in Word, PowerPoint, … [Read more...] about WPS Office from Kingsoft comes to Mobile
