So you’ve entered the land of phablets and bought yourself a Samsung GALAXY Note 2. You love carrying one device that serves as both (a freakin’ huge) smartphone and a (tiny tiny) tablet and you take it everywhere you go.

Zagg ZR-SIX Earbuds Review – Promising Awesome Sound for Under $60
If they’re note the best sounding earbuds you’ve experienced… we’ll give you your money back. That’s what Zagg says on the product page for theIR ZR-SIX earbuds.

PowerSkin PoP’n Battery Review – It Should Be in Your Gear Bag
We’ve said it over and over and over again – battery life is the Achilles Heel of today’s mobile devices. Speeds have improved, screen resolution and size have too; battery technology has, unfortunately, not kept pace. The result is that many of use have to either carry our wall adapter and charger cable or an external [...]
DRY-ALL Wet Smartphone Emergency Kit to the Rescue
“I just dropped my iPhone in the sink” Elana said. I jumped into action, went to the cabinet, pulled out the DRY-ALL Wet Smartphone Emergency Kit, pulled the SIM from the phone and sealed it inside. I then put Elana’s SIM into one of the review phones I had lying around and, within a few [...]
Globalgig Now Offers Inexpensive International Data in More Countries
When it comes to connectivity I’m spoiled. I spend the vast majority of my time either at home or the office and both are locations have high-speed Internet. And when I am out I usually have decent connectivity and relatively good speed. That means I’m able to get the information I want pretty much where [...]
ASUS PadFone Infinity Is a Phone and Tablet in One
During the first day of MWC, ASUS showed off a number of new products. The ASUS PadFone Infinity is a powerful quad-core, LTE-equipped smartphone and redesigned tablet into which it docks. The tablet looks like any old tablet from the front but, flip it over and you’ll see that its brains actually come from the companion [...]
Jabra Announces the Jabra Play and Jabra Tag
Jabra has been making some great moves in recent weeks and has announced a bevy of new products.

Two more products now join the ranks and [...]
ASUS Fonepad is a Supersized Phablet
I’m still kind of smitten with the Samsung GALAXY Note 8, but the ASUS Fonepad looks kind of tasty as well. The ASUS Fonepad is a 7″ Android tablet running Android 4.1.2. Like the GALAXY Note 8, the ASUS Fonepad can also function as a phone. (That functionality may not be available in all markets and [...]
Huawei Ascend P2 has Speedy 4G LTE
When choosing a smartphone these days one of the key “features” worth considering is speed. After all, with smartphones now serving as powerful on-the-go pocket computers having a fast, ever-present connection is key. The Huawei Ascend P2 promises just that. Judie went hands-on at Mobile World Congress. Here’s a look. The company is calling the [...]
SGP Illuzion for Samsung GALAXY Note 2
We reviewed Spigen SGP’s Illuzion for the iPhone 5 some months ago. (Read the review.) Fast forward a bit and the Samsung GALAXY Note 2 is gaining an increasing number of fans. The phablet (phone/tablet hybrid) is an impressive device and I am seeing an increasing number of people carrying them. As with all “take [...]
PowerSkin PoP’n Pop on Power Battery Charger Pops on the Power
When I first saw the PowerSkin PoP’n Pop on Power Battery Charger (say that one five times fast!!) I didn’t think much of it. To me it looked like a clunky means of doubling your iPhone 5′s battery. Judie disagreed. Now that Judie saw and handled the PowerSkin PoP’n Pop on Power Battery Charger at [...]
Seagate Wireless Plus Lets You Take Your Data With You, Review

Now Seagate has released their Wireless Plus. It lets you stream media [...]
Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G Signal Booster Keeps the Conversation Going- Review
During Super-Storm Sandy, Wilson’s Sleek Signal Booster came in remarkably handy.

Super-Storm Sandy and the Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G Signal Booster I was [...]
Jabra SPEAK 510 UC Review: Conference Calls Anywhere & Anytime
I find myself doing far less talking on the phone these days. That is part of the reason I’ve pretty much dropped my use of landlines. At home and work I only use my cell phones or, at times, I use Line2 or Skype on my tablet or computer. I honestly cannot remember the last [...]
Munitio Nines Earphones Review
Earphones, headphones, buds…it seems like I am in a constant search to find a great audio option to be used with my devices. I love trying them all out and experiencing the slight detail differences in the bass, highs and mids. Earphones come in all different shapes and colors, but rarely would I call them [...]
