USBFever puts out a lot of stuff.  I know that you’ve probably noticed that I show a tendency to gravitate towards some of the camera-oriented ones, due to my history as a serious shutterbug (back when shutters, ya know, actually existed).

Incipio Offers Several New Cases for the BlackBerry Q10

I don’t know if Blackberry is long for this world or not.  Personally, I hope they are.  For one thing, I always hate to see tech companies that were really innovative go belly-up, and BlackBerry was definitely in that category.  (Heck, I still lament the passing of SiliconGraphics.)  For another thing, as I have pointed [...]

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.

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 [...]
