Light Your Space and Be Unique

by Alison - on January 30th, 2013 Vintage is in! Retro anything seems to attract attention. For some of us we flashback to our younger days. Others that are too young just think retro equals cool. More unique creations pop up on the market every day. Creative types seem to be looking at what many of us consider ?old and trash bound? and turn it into functional products, some even gadget-y. Wish I could say I was that creative! If you are looking for a way to stand out and charge your gadgets take a look at BOSS Lamps. A creative Canadian electrician decided to put his knowledge to use in a fun way.

Pen Sized Scanner

by Edwin - on January 30th, 2013 You know, the scanner is one computer peripheral that you wish you had purchased when you didn?t need it, only to find yourself ringing up a mate late into the night, asking him whether he could open up the doors of his home so that you can drop by and perform that necessary scan. Older scanners of yore tend to be large, bulky and noisy ? not to mention slow, of course, but it is a good thing that modern day technology has ushered in the age of miniaturization, shrinking down what was once rather large scanners into a pocket-friendly form factor. Case in point, the $124.95 Pen Sized Scanner. The Pen Sized Scanner works as its name suggests ? this is a ballpoint pen which allows you to leave your John Hancock...

Review: Nillkin case for the HTC Droid DNA [VIDEO]

As you guys well know by now, I cycle between Android devices like I do my underoos (every few weeks). Since I?m often selling a previous device for the next greatest model, I like to ensure my devices stay in tip-top shape and near mint condition. There?s no better way to guarantee that than by outfitting a phone with a snazzy, stylish case. A few weeks ago, my journey led me to some extremely affordable cases from a brand called Poetic and if you remember that post, things didn?t turn out so well for my HTC Droid DNA. No matter, I continued searching for a case and found a brand called Nillkin who offers a wide variety of cases for a few Android devices, my DNA being one of them. When it comes to the DNA, I?m actually one of the few...

Who Is At the Door? Check Your Phone.

by Alison - on January 29th, 2013 Crowdfunding has to be one of the biggest buzz words of the last year. Kickstarter and Indiegogo really put a different spin on how to create a product. Unfortunately, many good products don?t achieve funding goals. A new type of crowdfunding site began to emerge to help move these unfunded projects along, give inventors more infrastructure and feedback while also protecting buyers. Christie Street does just that and took on a product that is now funded and slated to launch this summer. DoorBot looks to be a next generation example of how our phones continue to integrate into and control parts of our lives. DoorBot is a wireless video doorbell that links through your home network to your phone or tablet....

Feel that Touch Screen Keyboard!

by Alison - on January 28th, 2013 Raise your hand if you went from Blackberry to iPhone or Android devices. The only regret I found after the switch was the lack of tactile keys on the keyboard. You probably knew ? or were ? a finger keyboarder that could put full keyboarders to shame. Ever see someone type while looking up. Yep. RIM really taught us all the art of tactile mini-keyboard typing. By now typing on the screen we tend to lose that speed. I?m guessing that spell check is the smartphone manufacturer?s way to combat the lack of tactility. What would it take to make our Galaxys, iPhones, Kindles and the like have this one missing feature? A smart company called Tactus Technology, that?s what. Tactus invented a technology that will...

Octa TabletTail Vacuum Dock and WhaleTail Kit for tablets and eReaders review

When I first saw the Octa stand last year, I thought it was cute and whimsical. �Many gadget accessories are very serious and seem to be designed to fit into the most sedate business environment. �When designers do decide to mix it up, it?s often just to offer a brighter color in the same overall design. �The folks at Octa aren?t afraid of cute, and they came up with a whale of a cute tablet stand. �The Octa TabletTail: WhaleTail works like a champ while being as cute as it can be. �The whale tail design doesn?t mean that you won?t also be able to use it in a work environment, though. Click any image to view an enlarged size. The heart of the system is this rounded Vacuum Dock. �You pump the large silver button on the side to pull a vacuum...
