Kinivo BTX350 Digital Wireless Speaker Review

I’m a big fan of Bluetooth enabled, wireless speakers in this age of cell phones, tablets, and computers.  We’re always on the go, always have our mobile phones with us, and therefore, many of us carry our music collections with us as well.  Even if you don’t carry your MP3 collection on your cell phone, [...]

iLuv Neon Sound IEP336 Earphones Review

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 [...]

Devotec Fuel Is the World’s Tiniest Cellphone Charger

One of the big PITAs with modern smartphones that I’m sure you’ve noticed just as much as I have is:  They suck power like a toddler sucks down a juice box on a hot day at the park.  The iPhone that I keep with me at all times has more computing power, more functionality, and [...]

Ventev Chargesync Cables and USB Chargers Review

Ventev Charging Cables and Chargers

I found out about Ventev shortly before CES. The original plan was that their PR company would send some cables and chargers direct to our hotel, but that box got lost somewhere along the way. After returning home, a new shipment was arranged, and what was inside the box was quite impressive — not only because [...]

FCC Cellular Signal Boosters Certification Specifications Adopted Today

I’ve made no secret of the fact that if it weren’t for the Wilson Electronics AG Pro 75 Celluar Signal Booster, mobile phone service at my house would be pitiful; we would have likely had to incur the (possibly substantial) expense of putting in a landline.

JuiceCan Portable Power Recharger Now Available

There are a couple of things about the JuiceCan Portable Power Recharger I want to mention to y’all.  First is the most obvious one:  It’s a device that’s more eye-catching than your typical flat-black brick o’ power.  Now, I prefer the “form over function” design strategy, and my portable power brick is pretty dull looking, but [...]

StarTech Cables Review – Sync and Charge Intelligently

StarTech Cables

Smartphones gobble power, and because of that, it’s nearly impossible to get through a longer than usual day without sneaking in a top-off somewhere.
