While I was testing out the Mikey Digital from Blue Microphones, a microphone for iDevices, I had a chance to check out the Tiki, a microphone that conveniently plugs into a computer's USB port. The Tiki is about three inches long, and it is designed to minimize background noise. In fact, it is smart enough to shine a different-colored light when there is sound or no … [Read more...] about The Tiki from Blue Microphones

Forget the U.S. Presidential Election, watch this cool video of a robotic hand
Well, if you haven't heard now, Obama has four more years. Some of you may be pleased, some of you may be outraged, and others of you might not care. However you feel, you might forget after you watch the awesome video above. What you are seeing is currently "the world's most advanced prosthetic limb". This is the Bebionic3, and I am just going out on a limb (terrible … [Read more...] about Forget the U.S. Presidential Election, watch this cool video of a robotic hand
Nyko’s Charge Base 3, Raven, and Vertical Stand for the PS3
While I was looking at Nyko products for the Xbox 360, such as the Charge Base 360 S, I had a chance to check out a few products for the PS3. I might as well start with the Charge Base 3 for the PS3. It works as easily as the Charge Base 360. It comes with two USB clips that have a mini-USB plug on them, and the other side is a magnet. With the clips on the SIXAXIS and … [Read more...] about Nyko’s Charge Base 3, Raven, and Vertical Stand for the PS3
Audiofly AF45 Premium In-Ear Headphones
I have had some experience with AudioFly before, and I had a chance to try out the AF33M earbuds some time around CES last year. I felt good about AudioFly since I first saw them (or should I say heard them), and I had a chance to try AF45. Normally, I use some pair of low-priced earbuds when I listen to things on my computer. The moment I plugged in the AF45, I could … [Read more...] about Audiofly AF45 Premium In-Ear Headphones
Kanex mySpot is your own Pocket-Size Access Point for Travellers

The mySpot is a pocket-sized access point that you plug into an Ethernet port, and then stick the other end into a USB port. From there, you can enter a default IP … [Read more...] about Kanex mySpot is your own Pocket-Size Access Point for Travellers

The Charge Base 360 S from Nyko
I had the distinct pleasure of reviewing many gaming accessories from the Nyko company, and it is only recently that I have been able to review products that I saw at CES 2012. I will be talking about more Nyko products in the next week, but for now I will discuss this one for the Xbox 360. The Charge Base S isn't necessarily a new product, but it certainly is downright … [Read more...] about The Charge Base 360 S from Nyko
Kinyo PW-8899 Over the Ear Wireless Headset
I have reviewed Kinyo products before, most recently the Kinyo ArtDio AW-630 Powered Subwoofer. They have some good tech products, but I will have to say that the Kinyo PW-8899 is a Wireless Headset are some low-priced wireless headphones. Yes, they are a very low price, and the headphones are pretty low weight. What you are seeing here in the image is a pair of wireless … [Read more...] about Kinyo PW-8899 Over the Ear Wireless Headset
MobiValet gives your cell phone a place to belong in your car
Let me ask you a quick question: when you are driving, where does your phone go? You don't want to be using it, because that is illegal in most states. I am guessing that most people put their phone on the seat next to them or in a cupholder. Of course, that cupholder isn't made for your phone, is it? This is why I appreciate MobiValet's slogan: "your cupholder can have … [Read more...] about MobiValet gives your cell phone a place to belong in your car

If you have never heard of Poldera before, I am about to give you several reasons why you should care. I can tell you that if you have an iDevice with a 30pin connector, you should get yourself some Poldera products. I will start with the iKeep Secure. This is a belay that comes with a retractable cable, made so you can keep an iPhone or iPod on your person. Considering … [Read more...] about Poldera has the iKeep Charge, iKeep Secure, and Six-foot Candi Cord
Crayola Digital Light Designer lets you draw in the dark
It is pretty difficult to describe the Crayola Digital Light Designer, as there is nothing much to compare it to. The Digital Light Designer is a cone-shaped thing that comes with a battery-powered light pen. You can then draw on the cone-shaped thing in many colors and do all sorts of things. The Digital Light Designer has two lines on the bottom that you touch with the … [Read more...] about Crayola Digital Light Designer lets you draw in the dark
The Kinyo ArtDio AW-630 Powered Subwoofer
I first saw Kinyo at CES last January, and I was pretty impressed with their products. I have tried out the Phyre PA-550 Multimedia Speakers and the Trilleon 2.0 Universal Sound Tablet System. I have found that Kinyo has created some interesting sound, and the AW-630 is capable of about 60 Watts worth of Total Power Output. If that spec means something to you, then let me … [Read more...] about The Kinyo ArtDio AW-630 Powered Subwoofer
Blue Microphones brings you the Mikey Digital
I have been covering Blue Microphones products for years, and I have always been impressed with their audio-capturing ability. I will readily admit that this is the third time I have reviewed one of their products that is called "Mikey". This version is the Mikey Digital, and it is a microphone that is made for the iPhone/iPad with a built-in USB charging port. Now you … [Read more...] about Blue Microphones brings you the Mikey Digital

Kanex Sydnee is a terrific method of charging iDevices
I'm not certain what you think of when you see Sydnee, but it has nothing to do with a city in Australia or the main character on Alias. Okay, there are a lot more famous Sydneys then the one that Jennifer Garner played. Kanex has recently made a device called the Sydnee, and it is quite something. I suppose that the best description of the Sydnee would be a charger for … [Read more...] about Kanex Sydnee is a terrific method of charging iDevices
