A good case on an iPad is a must have; not only do you need protection but also some function for many uses in different situations. I prefer cases that double as a stand while also providing some protection. Folio cases are also among my favorites since they easily close like a folder and keep [...]
Mitchell’s Gear, Spring 2013
We all have our selection of favorite gear; you know, the equipment we have that we actually keep with us on a regular basis. So spring seemed like a good time to take a renewed look at the gear various members of the GD team actually use. First up — from Gear Diary’s Australian [...]
USBFever Offers a Helping Hand with the Photography Tripod Set and Holder for Tablets
Despite Nature’s design, there are so many times where I wish I had an extra pair of hands when trying to complete a task. Maybe you often wish for the same, especially when using your tablet. Ever struggle to find just the right place to set up your tablet at a moments notice and get [...]
The Legend of Holy Archer for iOS Review
iPhone and iPad apps for anyone on a budget. Nothing over $.99! As an avid bow hunter, I always look for opportunities to do anything dealing with archery. There are few games for iOS that involve shooting a bow, so when I find one, it is always downloaded. I recently came across a new game called The Legend [...]
PC Sales Plummet, But are Windows 8 or iPad to Blame?
There is one reality bolstered by two bits of speculation getting loads of attention today. The reality is that sales of personal computers are abysmal, in fact they just hit the lowest point since the IDC started tracking numbers nearly 20 years ago. As happens whenever numbers are released for anything, analysts swoop in to [...]
Packing Light for Telenav’s Waypoint
I’m heading to Telenav’s annual Waypoint conference next week. Since this is a fairly short trip, I’m looking to keep my baggage fairly light. I’d like to minimize my time lugging items around the airport, and with some careful planning, I think I can cut way back on my tendency to turn every trip into [...]
Clash of Clans for iOS Review
iPhone and iPad apps for anyone on a budget. Nothing over $.99! My latest and greatest addiction came from a source I never thought would put me on an iOS game; the bow hunting forum that I actively participate in had a post about joining the Texas Bow Hunters clan on Clash of Clans. Several [...]
Simple Bracket for iPhone Review
iPhone and iPad apps for anyone on a budget. Nothing over $.99! It’s March, and you know what that means! I am not referring to the impending spring season or melting of the snow in the north. Yes, the birds are chirping and the time change means the sun stays high a little later for us all, but [...]
TrackingPoint Releases Precision Guided Firearm iOS Simulator App
We first broke news of TrackingPoint and their Precision Guided Firearm system during this year’s CES. The system is a custom-built rifle and scope combination that makes long-range shooting much more accurate. Using the XactSystem, shooters tag, track and hit their target with pinpoint accuracy. TrackingPoint has just released Precision Hunter Lite which allows iOS [...]
Apple Lightning Connector Broken Inside iPad Mini Port – Eeek!
Have you wondered how well the new Apple Lightning connector might hold up over time? I’ll admit not giving too much thought to it, because I chose to focus on the fact that I could plug the Apple Lightning Connector in from either side — a welcome new convenience from the old 30-pin. So far, [...]
Winston For iPhone Blue Plate Special
iPhone and iPad apps for anyone on a budget. Nothing over $.99! Ever since Siri hit iOS, the idea of using voice features on my phone has become quite interesting. While Siri does not do exactly what I would like yet, I am always looking for other apps that add voice functionality. Sometimes I do [...]
USBfever.com Introduces the Smart Stand for iPad 4 / iPad 3 / iPad 2
The Smart Stand for iPad 4, iPad 3, and iPad 2 USBfever.com is quite the source for numerous Apple ecosystem 3rd party peripherals and the array of items is dizzying! I’m constantly surprised by what sorts of items appear on their site to augment mobile computing. Take for example the iPad. For those of us [...]
iPad mini Size vs Price – Which Drove Its Success?
The rumor mill is flying with word that a so-called ‘iPhone mini’ is on the way. Most suggestions have the new offering from Apple being mini in price but not necessarily mini in size. That’s too bad, since a smaller, lighter iPhone would actually make sense for someone like me who never leaves home without [...]
Targus iNotebook Productivity Tablet Review
We saw the Targus iNotebook at CES last month. It is an intriguing device, and Targus was kind enough to send an iNotebook for review. Before we get into the review though, let me step back and give a bit of history. As I have previously noted here on the site, my best experience with [...]
AKG K551 Over-the-Ear Headphone Review
Last summer I had the opportunity to review a pair of over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones from Harman Kardon. (Read the review.) I came away incredibly impressed by the sound, the build quality and the comfort. Judie read my review and was also impressed. She asked if she could try them out; I sent them to Texas, [...]
