How to Listen to Text on Your iOS Device
Remember the commercial that went something like “Reading is fundamental”? It is but there are some times when it is far better to listen to an email or a document than read it. I had done this via an iOS app but then I learned that iPhones, iPads and iPod touches have the capability built [...]
CTA Digital Pedestal Stand for iPad Keeps You Connected in the Bathroom
Admit it. Many of you have surreptitiously or otherwise carted your iPad into the bathroom because…well because you just love your iPad and are using it productively, right? Sure you do.

Create Shortcuts in iOS, Your Gear 101
One terrific (but often unused) tool baked right into iOS is the ability to create keyboard shortcuts.

ZooGue New iPad Leather Case Genius Pro Review
Since I have moved to using an iPad 3 for my full-time mobile computing option, I’ve discovered how important my case choice is. The iPad literally goes everywhere with me, including my deer blind.

Why I love my Samsung ATIV 500T enough to dump the iPad…
When the iPad first came out, I was as stunned and impressed as anyone, and anxious to have one of my own. My wife is largely supportive of my gadget addictions, but regarding the iPad, didn’t understand where it would “fit in” as a necessity when I already had an iPhone, laptop and desktop computer. [...]
The Outcome of My iPad Mini Apple Support Saga
Just before Christmas, I ranted about the support I was getting from Apple on my iPad Mini WiFi issue when using the phone and their online support systems. I contrasted it with Dan’s experience, he was seeing a similar issue and had it resolved when he went to his local Apple Store. My experience at that [...]

Record Numbers of Devices Activated on Christmas, iPad and Amazon Tablets Big Winners
It is not terribly surprising that oodles of new devices were opened up and activated on Christmas morning – in fact, we had three new iPhone 5 activations in our house alone! The site Flurry.com tracks and estimates the daily activations of iOS and Android devices, and is reporting that more than 17 million activations [...]
Bike Baron for iPhone Review
iPhone and iPad apps for anyone on a budget. Nothing over $.99! Even though I have very little free time during football season, everyone needs something to ease their mind and take a short break.

Apple Releases iOS 6.0.2 Software Update to Fix iPhone 5, iPad Mini WiFi Bug
I wrote here about the iOS 6 WiFi bug that seemed particularly bad on the iPad Mini. Well, things haven’t improved, and many folks have been struggling with WiFi on their iPad Mini and iPhone 5 since release. For me, I managed to work around everything, but then last week suddenly I couldn’t connect to [...]
A Dodo Mini for the iPad Mini
I’ve been debating whether to get an iPad Mini. So far, I’ve been able to hold off on what is likely inevitable. All of the new iPad Mini accessories are not helping, however. Take, for example, Exhibits A and B, DODOcases bookbound cases and Durables Sleeve for the iPad Mini. We’ve reviewed DODOcase products [...]
New Sleek, Functional Designs From Tablet-Case Creator ‘Solid Gray’
I probably won’t be the first to admit that we don’t need anymore tablet or phone cases.
