Divoom OnBeat X1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review

Divoom OnBeat X1

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 [...]

Sucker Stylus for Tablets and Smartphones

When I had my late. very much lamented Tapwave Zodiac, we were still deep in the stylus era of PDAs.  One of the problems with stylii, of course, is keeping it.  Some PDAs (and early smart phones) had slots built into them to contain your (generally cheap plastic) stylus, but the Zodiac had a pretty [...]
