I think we all know that the mobile revolution has changed gaming forever. I would not declare console gaming dead as the Wii U and whatever Microsoft and Sony puts out could take the emphasis off Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja and put it on Mario and Halo. I believe that the iPhone and iPad have gaming covered, and there are many gaming accessories available for that, but … [Read more...] about Nyko’s PlayPad ups the Android Game

Isn't it amazing how anything that is a little popular sometime makes a comeback? Some of you might not remember the Bigtrak, but it was a programmable toy back in the eighties. It was released about 30 years ago, to be exact, in the magical land of old-school stand-up video games. This version of the Bigtrak is an XTR (eXtra Technology Rover). In the old version, the … [Read more...] about Bigtrak XTR is updated for this decade, interfaces with an iDevice

The other day, my son wrote about some fears that he had. One of them was a car accident we had been in, and the other was "Spiders like all over the house". I suppose that a lot of people are afraid of arachnids, but their form is perfect for a mount for a tablet, smartphones, or even a camera. I suppose this is why Lethal Protection went with a spidery design when they … [Read more...] about Lethal Protection brings forth the Life-Phorm, the ultimate stand for mobile devices

I have reported on a lot of cameras designed for extreme lifestyles, like the GoPro and similar models. Imagine a camera that can record in front or in back of you. Considering that most smartphones have a front-facing and back-facing camera, I suppose it is not a surprise that the Spectacam was created. This is one of those Kickstarter projects, and I believe that … [Read more...] about Spectacam is an action camera that shows both sides

I think we all know what is separating working on a mobile device with say, working on a laptop or desktop. Yes, it is having a keyboard handy. Sure, the Surface and the iPad have their share of keyboards, but imagine having a really good one for the iPhone, and no separate accessory was required. This is the vision of the Vibrative Virtual Keyboard. What you see in the … [Read more...] about In the future, all mobile phone keyboards will be tabletops

I have reported on the Sphero before, and even covered an interesting story with President Obama and the rolling ball. If you aren't familiar with Sphero, it is a rolling ball that you can take control of with a Bluetooth mobile device. Sure, maybe a ball rolling across the room isn't impressive to you, but now there is an augmented reality program which will make it very … [Read more...] about Sphero gets an Augmented Reality Beaver companion

I am very certain that I have covered many screen protection accessories for mobile devices, most recently, the iShieldz for the iPhone 5. Most of these screen protectors are clear plastic which surround a mobile device with a thin layer of film to protect them from both smudges and scratches. Another screen protector is the BodyGuardz, and they have recently unveiled the … [Read more...] about BodyGuardz Pure Premium Glass Screen Protection for the iPhone 5

I have been fortunate to review Plantronics gaming headphones before, such as the GameCom 780. I have now got to try out the ultimate pair of gaming headphones, the Plantronics Gamecom Commander. This is designed for PC gamers, but it has these QuickDisconnect adapters for switching from PC, tablet, or even smartphone. I have to say that the QuickDisconnect ports are … [Read more...] about The Plantronics GameCom Commander is here!

Well, if you are reading this, then it means that I couldn't find some tech to write about today. Yeah, I love doing these Speculative fiction movie reviews, and I would imagine that I should probably read more books. This film I watched on a whim, because I was testing out the Custom One Pro from Beyerdynamic. It is funny how just adding some good sound can improve and … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction on Netflix: Lockout

I have always loved to see the latest developments in augmented reality, and I believe that this game known as Ingress could change the gaming realm of augmented reality. My Sources says that Ingress is developed by Google, but specifically it is developed by John Hanke and Niantic Labs. The game is designed to be played in real life as you walk the streets in a city or … [Read more...] about Google has an augmented reality game known as Ingress

I think we are all aware that our children live in their own world with their headphones on. As a parent, we should probably be concerned about this. Fortunately, iFrogz has headphones for the occasion. The new iFrogz Animatone Over-Ear Headphones have the over-the-ear look of DJ headphones, but the cool decor for younger users. I am trying them out right now, and I … [Read more...] about Animatone Over-Ear headphones from iFrogz

I just finished reviewing the 5W Mighty Dwarf, and I am now pleased to review the BlueII, a Bluetooth wireless speaker, also from Mighty Dwarf. The BlueII looks very similar to the DBEST DUO Bluetooth speakers, except there is only one of them. Like the 5W, it has a 360 degree listening experience, but this one is wireless. Yes, it is Bluetooth wireless, and it has a … [Read more...] about The Mighty Dwarf BlueII Wireless Speaker

I first saw Outdoor Technology's products at CES last January, and I was very impressed with the Turtle Shell Wireless Boom Box. Apparently, the company thought that the Sasquatch needed a wireless and waterproof speaker. Since I have been connecting to a lot of Bluetooth devices lately, like the Mighty Dwarf BlueII, but you'll hear about that in the next post. I was … [Read more...] about Turtle Shell Wireless Boom Box from Outdoor Technology

I am not certain why in the world I did not stop by Mighty Dwarf's booth at CES last January, but I am glad that I got to try out their products recently. The first that I got to try out is the 5W Mighty Dwarf. This is a small can speaker that reminds me of the Boomz Audio Personal Portable Speaker that I reviewed a while ago. The 5W Mighty Dwarf is a 360-degree speaker, … [Read more...] about Mighty Dwarf 5W Speaker

Now that I got myself the QuNeo, I need to get a pair of Professional DJ Headphones, like the HDJ-1500 headphones from Pioneer. Okay, I'm probably not becoming a DJ, but I will have to admit that the HDJ-1500 are some pretty stylish headphones. There are some high-quality components thrown in it with 50mm drivers, copper-clad aluminum wire (CCAW) voice coils, rare-earth … [Read more...] about The Pioneer HDJ-1500 Professional DJ Headphones
