IK Multimedia Introduces the iRig HD Guitar Interface

COOKOO Available at AT&T Store
As a guy (and about the farthest thing from a fashion-conscious Metrosexual that you can imagine–I mean, Sami helps me match my pants to my shirts), I have always viewed watches as a functional item. Yeah, I wanted it to have cool gizmos on it–preferably be some kind of fancy chronograph–but that was my technonerd [...]
zBoost Introduces Additions to the Their 4G Line of Cell Phone Signal Boosters
I live in a portion of Austin called Rollingwood. Like Willow Glen in San Jose, or countless towns in the London area, Rollingwood was its own town for a period before it was absorbed by Austin. But the point here is that it ain’t called Rollingwood for nothing; it’s a lot of hills and dips. [...]
One Laptop Per Child Association Introduces Three New Products at CES 2013

Hillcrest/SMK Unveil Motion Remote for Smart TVs
I’ve been wondering, literally for decades, why, when we have this giant box in the living room (which we call a TV) and another box in our office (which we call a computer), we don’t just combine them to a certain extent. And lately, we’ve definitely been moving in that direction, with the capability to [...]
MIZCO Sports Introduces NFL Team Logoed Portable Power Products
As I look at the photos that came with this particular news item, I found it kinda funny. It wasn’t all that long ago when it was the 49ers that were the Big Team in the NFL, and the Patriots and Packers were also-rans. But not any more, boy! (And as a native NewEnglander, it [...]
Panasonic Expands Toughpad Enterprise-Grade Tablet Line
There’s no question that the tablet market is really starting to rev up. If you’ve been watching the news, you know that aside from devices like the Kindle Fire and the Barnes and Nobel Nook, plenty of other folks are following Apple in introducing tablets.

Anoto Announces Technology to be integrated into Panasonic’s Next-Generation Tablets
There’s no question that having a touch screen that responds to those things attached to your hand–your fingers!–is incredibly convenient. You learn to use your fingers pretty early on, and it feels natural and easy. Problem is, what do you do when you want a bit more of a fine point? I mean let’s face [...]

Huawei Showcases Its First Windows Phone 8 Smartphone
I’ve probably mentioned before that I’m currently an iPhone guy–I’ve had one literally since the day they came out. But that doesn’t mean I won’t ever get another smartphone, and despite my general antipathy for All Things Windows (ask Francis!), I am very interested in the Windows phones. And I have to say that the [...]
