One of my favorite gadgets of not only this year, but also all time is the iPad. The hardware is elegant and the technology is amazing and cutting edge. There are some limitations or concessions that must be made using the iPad instead of a conventional computer. One of the main changes is the use [...]

Mobile Phone Gear Review: iPazzPort Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard
One reason people tell me they do not choose to use an iPhone is that they would rather have a phone with a hardware keyboard. Apple, among other companies, have produced Bluetooth keyboards that can be used with iPhones and iPads, but they are almost all full-sized offerings. EFO Gadget Shop recently sent me the [...]
iPad Bluetooth Keyboard With Folding Leather Protective Case Released
I love my iPad, but have yet to use it for heavy work, including writing my Gear Diary posts. Typing on the MacBook is just so much faster because of its full-size keyboard. Later today I will post a review for a credit card size Bluetooth keyboard that works with the iPhone and iPad. Although [...]
Review: Arctic K381 Slim Keyboard For Windows
Our school finally recently replaced the teacher workstation computers with updated machines running Windows 7. One thing they did not replace was the old keyboards. I am not sure how old the keyboard I had was, but it was enormous. I remember a few years ago when keyboard seemed to have the bigger is better [...]
Apple On TV
Like any good admitted fanboy I often find myself looking for Apple products on TV. Lately I’ve been spotting more and more iDevices popping up on many of the shows I watch. So I’ve decided to start a new weekly segment entitled “Apple On TV.” The premiss is simple. Whenever I spot an Apple product [...]

Genius Announces Wireless Mouse with Energy Saving Design
I love my Apple MagicTrackpad but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a good computer mouse. Well Genius has just announced a new wireless mouse that offers laser precise tracking AND reduced power consumption. The Genius Navigator 905 tracks on almost every surface and used 40% less battery power than other mice in the process. The [...]
Review: USB Fever Compact Keyboard
If you spend time on the go, you’ve gotten used to laptop size keyboards and small trackpads. Personally, I’ve actually found that having the trackpad nearby as I’m typing to be more convenient than using a separate keyboard and mouse. So when I had the opportunity to review the USB Fever Compact Keyboard with Trackpad, [...]
Apple Launches the Magic Trackpad
At long last Apple has released a standalone trackpad that brings the MacBook Pro controller to your iMac, Mac Mini and Mac Pro but goes one better by almost doubling the size of the trackpad. As the Apple store notes- Magic Trackpad gives you a whole new way to control what’s on your Mac desktop [...]
Apple About To Release Magic Trackpad? – Rumor
When Apple announced their Magic Mouse I was of two minds. On the one hand I was thrilled to see Apple moving away from the Mighty Mouse’s constantly failing trackball and choose, instead, to go with a multitouch option. On the other hand I didn’t think it went far enough. I said, at the time [...]
The Hillcrest Loop Pointer Review: a Mouse for Your TV
It never failed that when someone would visit while I was testing the Hillcrest Loop pointer, they would invariably pick it up and wear it like it was an over-sized bangle — because at first glance, that is exactly what it resembles. But the Loop is much more than just a piece of giant plastic [...]
Review: StarTech DisplayPort KVM Switch
Watching the Winter Olympics reminds one of the stamina required to perform at a high level for long events. In reviewing the StarTech DisplayPort KVM switch, I feel like I just completed a marathon, due to the length of time that it took to complete. Read on for impressions of this unique DisplayPort KVM which [...]
4iThumbs Tactile Keyboard for iPhone
photo courtesy of cultofmac.com The idea is pretty clever: You take a thin clear plastic layer, much like a screen saver, and give it a few “bumps” to force your finger into the correct locations, and you will make typing on the iPhone a better experience. 4iThumbs has done just that. They released their Tactile [...]
Some of my favorite things from CES 2010
My time at CES is winding down. I just finished walking the floor for what will probably be the last time this trip. I brought my video camera along and tried to quickly cover all four halls of the show capturing some of my favorite things. Seen in the video below are: Speck Products – [...]
EFO Launches New Wireless and Wired Bluetooth Keyboard/Mice Combos
Do you own a home theater PC (HTPC)? Or do you have one of those jealousy inducing widescreen monitors, big enough to watch all the Hulu and Youtube your retinas can stand? Maybe you just like to sit a safe distance from the brightness of your screen. In any case, if you’ve ever wanted a [...]
