Technology improvements creep downwards from cutting edge to every day to eventually being aimed at kids. It’s inevitable that as smartwatches become more popular, kids are going to be interested. Doki sees an opportunity here for a way to offer kids what they want while keeping it age-appropriate with their new watch, the dokiPal.
I have been using the Vivint Smart Home for some time, and it has really become a regular part of our lives. The initial install and thoughts can be found here (pt1) and here (pt2). The Outdoor Camera Pro has since been released, and I have had the chance to take a look at it. The new camera and features are fantastic.
Apple’s been working hard at giving users who want a quality MacBook better upgrades, tangible new features, and better specs with a more upfront product line; starting today the price furthers that mission by updating the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro.
As phone cameras become more and more powerful, it has driven traditional digital cameras to find new niches in which to compete. On the other hand, if you’re looking to capture your adventures, especially in gnarly conditions, there’s no competing with a dedicated action camera. You don’t have to spend a fortune, though-enter the AKASO V50 Pro!
This is a love story, but it ends in tragedy. It begins on a ranch in West Texas, travels to New York City, then Tel Aviv and then Jerusalem, and then it all ends tragically in Paris. I’m talking about my experience with the myCharge HubMax Universal, the best battery pack I’ve yet owned … and then lost.
The Jabra Elite 85h are the most well rounded Bluetooth headphones I’ve ever used; checking the box on almost every category including sound quality, active noise canceling, clear phone calls, great battery life, intuitive controls, and water resistance. When paired with Jabra’s companion smartphone app, I’m not sure any other Bluetooth headphones can compete. The Elite 85h retail for $299.99.
When Raina got a job that required her to commute to the city I bought her a pair of AirPods. She loves them; I’m not a fan. I don’t like their fit, and I think they sound like crap. The RHA TrueConnect True Wireless Earbuds have the same design but, unlike the AirPods, I’m a fan!
This past weekend was rather warm in New Jersey. It was the perfect kind of weather to be outside in our pool. Outside the pool was another story, and I’m not sure which was worse, the heat or the mosquitos. Thankfully, I had the Honeywell CO60PM Indoor/Outdoor Evaporative Air Cooler for review; it gets the job done.
Satechi is making sure to capitalize on their recent releases, including their new Apple HomeKit-Enabled Dual Smart Outlet, as well as other products for the Fourth of July Weekend.
With the summer in full swing, chances are you’ll be traveling, working, exercising, or just somewhere listening to audio. Why not get yourself some new headphones from Master & Dynamic?
One of the biggest holidays in July isn’t Independence, but Amazon Prime Day. The annual spending day of the year typically falls around a payday, and there are a lot of deals (and duds) that people purchase every year. Withings has announced their deals, and they are checking out.
There’s nothing worse than looking at your utility bill in the summer, and realizing that the bill is high because you’ve been running your air conditioning more than you usually do courtesy of high temperatures. Luckily the team at Air Conditioner Lab has the perfect solution to stay cool no matter if you’re in your house, your backyard, or on the go. Introducing the Zero Breeze 2.0, a portable solution to cooling down your environment. Perfect for that backyard cookout, or even to take to that three day festival this summer, the Zero Breeze 2.0 is lighter than most portable…
With Amazon Prime Day coming up, you’ll potentially be ordering a lot of packages in the next few weeks. Luckily for you, there’s an app that will allow you to track not just all of your Prime Day deliveries, but every delivery you order directly from your email called ROUTE.
I used to be nervous about grilling for my family and friends, never sure if the steak, burgers, or chicken would be cooked to the proper, or even safe, temperature. With the ThermoWorks Thermapen IR, my confidence has grown immensely, knowing that I’m getting an accurate internal (or surface) temperature reading within seconds of inserting the probe.
At WWDC 2019, Apple announced the new iPad OS. Before I go too far, I want to caution you about loading this beta. If you use your iPad for anything mission critical, then it’s best to wait until the full release. With that said here are my thoughts on the biggest update to the iPad in years.
We’re still more than a few months away from Christmas and the other stereotypically gift-giving holidays, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t start shopping early. Plus, there’s nothing stopping you from picking up a few ‘just because’ gifts — except perhaps, the challenge of not knowing what to get for someone. With that in mind, here are a handful of quirky gifts for the person who has everything — they’ll never see these coming!
Pride Month has become more and more of a commercial endeavor as much as it is a time to remember the fight for LGBTQ rights. Admittedly, I’ve been a bit curmudgeonly about this in the past, but the Wall Street Journal had a video on commercials that made me shift a bit of my thinking.
Back in 2018, I reviewed Adonit’s original PhotoGrip, a stellar camera shutter attachment that made for better group photos and selfies. While I enjoyed it, one thing I grew to really want from it was a bit more comfort holding while shooting footage with my phone. And looks like the company listened in their updated PhotoGrip Qi.
For years we’ve heard that iPads will never replace MacBooks. They would never be as powerful, or nearly as good as carrying around your trusty laptop. And then Apple announced iPadOS. So before everyone rushes to purchase themselves the wrong keyboard cases for their iPad, let me tell you about my personal favorite, and go-to case: Logitech’s Slim Folio Pro for iPad Pro 11-inch & 12.9 Inch.
We’ve covered many robot vacuums here at GearDiary, but I haven’t seen many as smart or quiet as the Ecovacs DEEBOT 711. Packed with features like visual mapping technology, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa compatibility, and 110-minute runtime, the DEEBOT 711 stands as one of the better robot vacuums on the market. You can get yours today for $429.99.
Everyone loves using Amazon for easy online shopping. Amazon’s no fool, and they’re looking to cultivate the next generation of shoppers with their special “Off to College” section of their site!
