This should be an interesting week with Mobile World Congress in effect in Barcelona, and along with Samsung's announcement of the Galaxy Note 8, and now Nokia just announced a mid-range market phone with the Lumia 720. The Lumia 720 is a Windows Phone 8 with a 4.3-inch screen, and it has a curved glass display with a 1GHz Dual-core Snapdragon, 512MB of RAM, and WVGA (800 … [Read more...] about Nokia announces the Lumia 720

I was excited about Google Glass when I first heard about it. I have even showed videos from it just recently, and now I have a release date. Well, it is nothing exact, but Google Glass will be out by the end of the year. I even have a price at under $1,500. Yes, I think that is pretty steep, so if you really need this type of organization for your head, perhaps you … [Read more...] about Google Glass has a confirmed released date, sometime by the end of this year

As you may or may not be aware, there is a big event in Barcelona known as Mobile World Congress. All the big companies from the mobile world are represented, and ground breaking announcements will be made. Rumor has it that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S IV, but I guess they had to get the Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet out of the way. Many would say that this 8-inch screen … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is official!

It is true that Folio cases for the iPad are a dime a dozen, and one would have to wonder what Speck, a company most famous for mobile phone accessories has to offer that is anything new. The deluxe form-fit cradle is different as it is made of genuine leather. Most of these folio cases are made of whatever materials happen to be hanging about, so it is good to see a … [Read more...] about MagFolio Luxe for the iPad, by Speck

I have reported on LifeProof's products before for the iPhone 4/4S, and I admired what they are doing for mobile devices by making them able to withstand the subtle and daily tares of life.

The LifeProof fre case … [Read more...] about LifeProof fre case for the iPhone 5

Even though I am many months late in reviewing Marvel's triumphant super-hero movie, The Avengers, I figured I might as well review this particular one. This isn't to say that this 1998 film is better by any stretch of the imagination, but I will admit that I saw it more than once, but never in the theater. The film had everything it needed to be a summer blockbuster. It … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: The Avengers, and not the most recent one

Mobile devices are usually not a friend to someone on the go. You will always see groups of people camping out at the electrical outlet, just to get a little juice for their laptop, tablet, or phone. Fortunately, ECBC has created three new types of carry-on baggage that will help this problem. The first is the Sparrow Rolling Garment Bag. In addition to the portable … [Read more...] about ECBC new rolling luggage is equipped for portable power

I have seen a lot of USB keys that have all your passwords loaded into them. Generally, this is just to save you a few seconds so you don't need to constantly type in that user name and password. The myIDkey is like that, as you stick it into your USB drive and don't have to worry about the tedious nature of logging in all the time. Now, in case you worry about someone … [Read more...] about Biometric USB Password Key

I think we are all interested in Google's Glass project. If you aren't familiar with it, it is a pair of googles that are essentially a head-mounted display, and it could change the world of mobile computing as we know it. Google is now putting out a video that shows what it could be like to have it, and it has made me long for it. Of course, the people in the video are … [Read more...] about Google’s video about the Glass

I think all of us have a personal paper shredder. I suppose it is because we believe those stories about people digging through our garbage to steal our personal information. Some of us might have one of those cheap jobs that can fit onto a trash can. I find that those tend to jam more than they should, and then I have had to open them up to dig out the excess paper. I … [Read more...] about The Powershred 73Ci paper shredder from Fellowes

It is a pretty big week for tech unveiling this week, as HTC just unveiled the One, and now Sony has unveiled the Playstation 4 (PS 4).

Imagine being able to literally draw in the air, and now imagine it is possible with the 3Doodler. The 3Doodler is a pen that has an ink cartridge with ABS or PLA plastic, the same type of plastic that 3D printers use. When you write this in air, the plastic comes out melted, and then it will harden to form these interesting shapes that you see here. I have admit, they … [Read more...] about 3Doodler is a pen that allows you to draw in the air

I realize that I have reviewed two Jill-E products yesterday with the Laptop Career Bag and the Metro Tablet Bag, and today is going to be about the Jack Large Rolling Bag.

If you open up the main … [Read more...] about Jack Large Rolling Bag from Jill-E Designs

I figured since I have already reviewed the Ollo Clip for the iPhone 4, I might as well check out the iPhone 5 version. For those who aren't familiar with the Ollo Clip, it is a "quick-connect" lens solution for the iPhone. All I can say is that I hope that the iPhone 6 has these 3-in-1 lenses on them, but until then, the Ollo Clip is a snap-on solution for Apple's popular … [Read more...] about Olloclip for the iPhone 5

I have been hearing a lot about the newest flagship phone from HTC, which is simply called The One. It was announced yesterday with a big conference and all, and I wanted to get the details before I wrote the article.
