Now, if you like to jog in the morning, you probably don't want to take a smartphone in the pocket of jogging shorts. Therefore, I recommend using this Armpocket, and this model is the Xtreme i-30, which will fit the iPhone 5, Galaxy S III, or the EVO. It can even hold a smartphone with a case, not to mention keys, credit cards, and much more. Once again, another … [Read more...] about Armpocket puts your smartphone on your arm, and other things as well

While I was at CES, I ran into a company known as Tribe which makes a lot of USB Flash drives which look like cute characters. Granted, the company of Mimoco does the same thing, and I know that there are a lot of similarities here. Of course, I had to get the Hello Kitty one because my daughter, for some reason or another loves Hello Kitty. I think it is a rule that all … [Read more...] about Tribe has Hello Kitty Flash Drives, and other characters as well

I probably should have reported on this earlier, but RIM (Research in Motion) has had its BB10 event, and one big announcement is that they have officially rebranded themselves so they are BlackBerry. I'm certain that everyone calls them that anyway. In order to compete with the iOS and Android market, the company announced two new smartphones, the Q10 and the Z10. I'll … [Read more...] about RIM is now officially BlackBerry, announces the Q10 and Z10

While I was CES, I got to see a whole lot of mobile phone cases. I have just tried out a whole much from a company known as more. That is more, with a period, and their website is more-thing.com, because I think it would not be possible to have the domain name for more. I believe that the company is giving its customers more, and I got to see two cases that are quite … [Read more...] about A lot of mobile phone cases from more. (or more-thing)

As you might know, I am on a three-part story on EnerPlex, and this is the second part, which I am hoping won't be the low point in this trilogy. You will discover that the EnerPlex Jumpr is very similar to many products out there. I think the last one that I reviewed like it was the BoostBloc6600 from Eton. Then there is the Burton Resync, Mophie Juice Pack, and I … [Read more...] about Hands on with the EnerPlex Jumpr 4400 mobile device battery

When I was at CES, it seemed like every company had accessories for the iPhone, and they all had accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S III. I knew that I had to get this cool phone, and I am grateful that Samsung was able to provide it for me. The Samsung Galaxy S III is the Android flagship phone, and it is not hard to see why. I was pretty impressed by the real estate … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Samsung Galaxy S III, plus a guide to shortcuts

Just when I thought I had seen a Bluetooth Speaker from pretty much every company and their dog, and then along comes the Oontz from Cambridge Soundworks. In case you are wondering how it is called the Oontz, I believe that this is referring to the cool bass sound when it pumps out like "Oontz, Oontz, Oontz". Apparently, it is the industrial design that created a passive … [Read more...] about OontZ Bluetooth Speaker adds some serious oomph to your music

For some reason, I have been seeing a lot of cases for the iPhone or other phones that are designed for holding credit cards, drivers license, and even some cash. Personally, I think it is a sign that we are moving away from wallets, and I wonder how long before the credit card and drivers license become like apps on our smartphone. Of course, I have written about this … [Read more...] about CardNinja, a wallet for the mobile phone

I was fortunate to run into EnerPlex at CES, and now I am privileged to try out three of their products, which I will cover in the space of three different articles. In this particular article, I will focus on two different EnerPlex products, the Surfr for both the Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhones 4 and 4S. I tried out the Surfr for the former, and I found that it adds a … [Read more...] about EnerPlex Surfr for the iPhone 4/4S and the Galaxy S III

I think that all of us do or should own an electronic screwdriver. One of the things that I don't like about them is that although they make jobs easy, I often get confused about what direction the head is spinning. Oftentimes this results in screws going deeper when they should, or unscrewing when they should go deeper. Then you have to fiddle with the reverse/forward … [Read more...] about Black and Decker’s Gyro Rechargeable Screwdriver makes you the opposite of being screwed

If your desk is anything like mine, it is cluttered with cables. Fortunately, the CableHub is made to keep all the cords together in one convenient place. You can see the CableHub in the picture, but what you can't see is how it opens up thanks to a press-and-release tab on the bottom. From there, it is easy to insert a cable into a hole and cap it into place. There is … [Read more...] about CableHub attempts to de-tangle our technological life

I found that there is a great market for controllers for mobile devices, which I can only see as an obvious result of the mobile gaming revolution. For example, there is the PlayPad from Nyko, and now this Duo Gamer from Discovery Bay Games, makers of the Dora the Explorer Let's Play Backpack. The Duo Gamer is reminiscent of another product from Discovery Games, the Atari … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Duo Gamer from Discovery Bay Games

I wonder if, when the iPad was created, there was thought in putting handles on it. I suppose that convenience was sacrificed for the sake of simplicity, as Apple wanted to start with a clean slate. Unfortunately, if you want to do things with the iPad, you always have to grab it with two hands for the best possible grip. Try and grab it with one, and you would be … [Read more...] about iSucker lets you take the iPad by the hand

Well, I'm sure that you heard that Disney bought Star Wars, and I probably don't need to tell you that J.J. Abrams is on deck to direct Star Wars Episode VII. If you haven't heard of J.J. Abrams, then you clearly didn't follow very confusing television shows in the last decade. Yeah, this guy gave us Alias, Lost, Fringe, and has his hand in films like Mission Impossible … [Read more...] about Looks like J.J. Abrams is on deck to direct the next Star Wars movie
