When we were at CES, Dan couldn’t wait to show me the pre-release iFrogz Boost Near Field Audio Amplifying Speaker that he had scored, and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. This little box didn’t need to connect to a mobile phone to produce a much bigger sound; you could simply place any phone [...]

Sound ID is Back with the Sound iD SIX, a Siri-Ready Bluetooth Headset
I have had the opportunity to review each generation of Sound iD’s Bluetooth headsets. The first was a small but excellent device and with each generation the devices have gotten better and better. Now the company is back with their Sound iD SIX Series headset and it looks great. Here’s what the company has to [...]
Mobile Device Accessory Review: Juice Pack Powerstation
It seems silly to refer to an external battery as “good-looking”, but mophie’s new juice pack power station is one good-looking battery. It is sleek, solid and feels great thanks to the combination of polished metal and soft touch material. And with a footprint that is a bit smaller than an iPhone, this 4000mAh battery [...]
Jabra SPORT and SPORT-CORDED Let You Enjoy Your Music on the Go
Jabra has announced two new headsets that join the company’s sport line and let you take you tunes with you when exercising or doing other activities. The headsets look great, especially the wireless one, and they come with a host of great features. As Jabra explains Featuring a category-first built-in FM radio, A2DP technology, and [...]
Energizer Qi-Enabled 3 Position Inductive Charger Review
I love the idea of inductive charging whereby you can simply lay your device on a base-station and have it recharged without having to plug anything into it. I love the idea but, until now, not the execution. We’ve looked at a few systems and, while they all worked as promised, the requisite charging case [...]
BlackBerry Playbook Case Review: Pop! for BlackBerry PlayBook
I cannot help but feel a bit bad for the BlackBerry PlayBook. After all, the device has a great form factor, excellent build quality, a responsive touchscreen, and two things that are lacking on most tablets: both the front and rear facing cameras are quite good and the forward facing stereo speakers don’t sound half [...]
Tablet Accessory Review: Verbatim Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard
One of the pleasant surprises I found when I first started checking out the BlackBerry Playbook was the fact that it is a fantastic blogging tool. Unlike the iPad, which continues to fall short in the mobile blogging department, the PlayBook is a complete blogging system that works beautifully. The rear camera is surprisingly good, [...]
PhoneSuit Primo Power Core Rechargeable Battery Pack for Tablets and Phones Review
Electronic devices always seem run out of power at the most inopportune times, don’t they? Figuring out ways to keep those devices powered for as long as they are needed is key. Whether you are a regular road warrior or simply away from the office for the day, if you aren’t going to be near [...]
BlackBerry Playbook Case Review: Case-Mate Barely There
I’m a huge fan of minimalist cases and that tends to hold true for pretty much every device I use. I want something as thin as possible on my iPhone 4. I want something that doesn’t add too much bulk to my iPad 2. And I want to get a case for the BlackBerry PlayBook [...]
RIM Announces Multi-Platform Enterprise Mobile Support and some Bold New Phones
Image courtesy of Blackberry Recently at Blackberry World Conference 2011, RIM made some announcements on a few new devices, apps, OS 7, and most notably the new Multi Platform Blackberry Enterprise Server. Blackberry has been under some pressure in the past few years, mainly because they are losing market share daily to both mobile hardware and [...]
RIM Pulls an Oprah, Gives All BlackBerry World Attendees a Brand New PlayBook Tablet
While attendees were Tweeting, BBM’ing and trying not to nod off during Mike Lazaridis’s keynote address during this year’s BlackBerry World Conference, a jolt of enthusiasm swept through the crowd as RIM announced every attendee would receive a complimentary 16GB BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Suh-Weet! Gauging the rabid excitement of the crowd, the news was [...]
Mobile Phone Accessory Review: the Oberon Design Cell Phone Sleeve
It’s not very often that I can get excited about a universally fitting mobile phone sleeve, mainly because most of the ones I’ve reviewed in the past were pretty utilitarian. But when I received an email from Oberon Design, the company responsible for some of my favorite Kindle2, Kindle DX and iPad cases ever, asking [...]
Gear Must-Have: Gadget Genie Moisture Removal System
Judie knows gadgets. She’s been blogging for years and has tried out hundred and hundreds of different items and accessories. Many of them get “ooos and ahhs” from her, but rarely have I seen a product draw such immediate enthusiasm as this one. No, this product received an “OMG Great Idea!!! I need some to [...]
Grip-Ez: Brass Knuckles for your Mobile Device?
Okay they really aren’t brass knuckles. That would be just silly. Once you stick the Grip-Ez onto the back of your mobile device with the included 3M tape what it does do is offer an unparalleled amount of grip. Made from hard plastic and rubber the add-on is said to be very durable while [...]
iPhone 4 Case/Wallet Review: eHolster Front Pocket Wallet
Since winning a recent bout with back-pain I’ve begun, at the recommendation of my chiropractor, carrying my wallet in my front pants pocket. It lives in the right side of my trousers while my iPhone lives in the left. That presents a problem when it comes time to place my keys somewhere. I don’t want [...]
