When I think of Germany, I don’t think of goofy stuff. Germany makes you think of wars and Bauhaus design elements and Autobahns and such. Germans [...]

Èton Announces the BoostSolar Charger
My wife Sarah goes camping a few times a year. I usually outfit her with external batteries for her iPhone, but if those get passed around with everyone charging their smartphones, they don’t last long without outlets. We also live in New Jersey, and like most New Jerseyans, we have a lingering fear about [...]
Cloth-Clip Quick-On Wide(+Macro) + Fisheye Lens for for iPhone and Tablets
USBFever puts out a lot of stuff.

Divoom OnBeat X1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review
To be honest, most of my gaming — whether PC, Mac, DS, PSP, iOS or Android — is done either with headphones or with the device muted. There are a couple of reasons for this: first to allow for ‘gaming anywhere’; the second because ever since playing games such as Thief in the late 90s, [...]
MiPow Boom Bluetooth Speaker Review
We posted our review of the MiPow Boom mini the other day. (Read it.) The speaker is tiny but the sound is anything but tinny. I’m impressed by the sound such a small speaker is able to pump out and I still can’t believe that, after using the speaker pretty continually since we got here [...]
