Sometimes a simple gadget can be just as useful as a complex one. The Dog-e-minder is one such gadget that is not only for you, but your pooch as well. It's a simple electronic device that tells you when your dog was last walked, fed, and medicated. The Dog-e-minder is designed to look like a dog tag, but personally we think that it looks like a tamagotchi toy. However there is no pixelated character inside of it that needs to be taken care of, but instead it helps you take care of a real animal - your pet!  The device easily slips on to your dog's collar and it has a ring on it that allows it to always face front - so no twisting or turning here.  It also comes in four different colors: Black, Pink, White, or Blue.

Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3 for the Nintendo Wii, is a unique addition to the DDR series that brings alternative forms of play as well as 30 different song titles. While at first DDR may seem intimidating to new comers, Hottest Party 3 allows for players of all skill levels to have fun while dancing to their favorite songs. One of the most welcoming features is the ability to play the game in brand new ways. The game allows for players to use either a dance pad, a Wii balance board, a Wiimote, or Wiimote and nun chuck combination. These different styles allow for anyone to find a way into the DDR world without having fearing complicated step patterns.

POWER A Universal Remote Case adds infrared(IR) remote control capabilities to your iPhone 3G/3GS. The concept is pretty solid; it enables your iPhone to control almost any device which you have a remote control for (IR only, no RF or Bluetooth). Will I chuck out the window all those extra remotes I have and the ones hidden in my couch in place of this gizmo? Well lets just say, not yet. 

When Dr. Quentin Stafford-Fraser and Martin King founded DisplayLink back in 2003, they sought to “re-think the connection between monitors and PCs.” Almost 7 years later, DisplayLink launched its next generation, high performance DL-1x5 family of chips to bring “unparalleled integration with USB graphics devices.” In this era of mobility and demand for increased productivity it is even more important to find easy, high performance, low cost external display options. The ubiquity of USB ports on mobile devices, the phasing out of VGA connections and diminishing screen size, augment the feasibility and relevance of the “complete DisplayLink USB Graphics Solution.“ According to DisplayLink, this “unique ‘plug and display’ solution eliminates the hassle of opening up PCs to add discrete graphics card, while also saving time and energy use.”

You never really know how well a laptop bag is going to hold up until you take it on a trip; and thankfully I was able to really test out the Speck PortPack Shoulder Bag, $69.95, on a recent trip from New York City to Boston. And this was a rigorous test: I was carrying some serious weight with a suitcase, two purses, and a laptop on a bus. Carrying this laptop bag could have either left me hating life or made the trip that much better. And I'm happy to say that this Speck PortPack Shoulder Bag actually made the trip feel easier thanks to its even weight distribution and all the features of the pack itself.

Now that Bluetooth headsets have become a mainstay in the market place - design is becoming as important as functionality. Many companies are kicking it into high gear and Aliph's Jawbone is definitely leading the pack. Never one to shy away from highend design, their latest Bluetooth headset, the Jawbone ICON not only is stylish, but it also has an App store as well.  Now that takes guts.

It includes video ports, DVI and VGA, an Ethernet jack, a microphone jack, a headphone jack, 4 USB ports and even a security cable slot. By plugging almost any laptop or PC into this dock via USB you can have all of these peripheral ports running simultaneously (DVI and VGA will only one will output at a time). It is intended to work with any computer with USB 2.0 running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Intel-based Apple Computers. The USB Dock is able to make all of this possible using the DisplayLink Technology, which uses a software-based graphics card to efficiently display video transferred over USB.

The iFrogz Ear Pollution Custom Flow are inexpensive and adorable. For $19.99 you can completely customize a pair of earbuds from base, to the rim, to the artwork, the earbuds that arrive at your door will be the ones you designed online. Once you go to the website, you just click on the different color combination and artwork you want on your earbuds and it will show up on the preview screen. Honestly, this was the hardest part about choosing the headphones: Do I want a gold rim with a white base?! Or do I want black on black with pink swirly artwork?! Choose a black, grey, or white base, even more colors including chrome and gangster gold for the rim, and 79 different custom art patterns to appear in the center of the earbud. The possibilities are endless, which makes this a really fun and customizable gift for a friend.

I am a hardcore picture taker. Paparazzo. Twit-Pic-er. What that means, is that whenever I'm out with my friends or family, I'm that girl that will stop a stranger on the street and make them take a picture. Maybe even two. Although a tad annoying at times, friends are (usually) happy when the pictures appear on Facebook for their enjoyment the next day. But when people aren't as good about posting pictures as I am, I get irritated, wishing I could have that cute group shot we took over the weekend. Finally, Polaroid thought of a solution with the Polaroid PoGo. This printer syncs with any Bluetooth device to print pictures on-the-go. Yes! Once the PoGo is synced with your Bluetooth enabled cell phone, you can send pictures to the device and instantly print them out for your friends and family on adorable little 2 inch by 1 inch pre-cut glossy photo paper. That means you can take a picture in the beginning of dinner and print out 8 copies for all your friends by the time you've eaten your appetizer.

Thinksound is a company that began with the sole intention of offering incredible sounding headphones with the smallest eco-footprint possible. Their recently launched TS01 line certainly sounds incredible, and judging by the packaging and components, it certainly seems to be designed with the greenest intentions. Thunder in-ear 10mm ear buds are made of real wooden housing and feature passive noise isolation. Music is natural sounding and the bass is great.

The Jaybird Sportsband is a wireless headset that aims to be the perfect workout companion by letting you wirelessly stay connected to your phone and music while you burn calories. Design: Even the JayBird Sportsband packaging exemplifies the fact that the Sportsband is intended for those who work out and are athletic. It's headband style design seems to be a growing popular trend for bluetooth headphones, since its design is pretty similar in style to the Jabra Halo that we reviewed not too long ago.

So you shelled out the big bucks for an expensive DSLR like the Canon EOS 7D or the Nikon D300? Chances are if you have own one of those cameras, or any other new DSLR that uses a compactflash card, that you're someone who is serious about photography. SanDisk's Extreme Pro 32GB CompactFlash Card has been designed specifically for pro-level DSLR cameras. Using its Power Core Controller, SanDisk claims that it can achieve read and write performance up to 90MB/s. In comparison, SanDisk's older Extreme card boasts up to 60mb/s. The Extreme Pro is available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB capacities, so you'll have plenty of room for files, including large RAW files and HD movies. The card is also supposed to be able to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -13°F to 185°F, so you can be sure that your photos stay safe. The card also features "Shock protection and RTV silicone coating added inside for protection against moisture and humidity". A lifetime warranty comes standard with the card.

The CaseCrown 15" Classic Checkered Slim Case, $22.92, is functional, lightweight, and stylish. It's a basic laptop carrying case without unnecessary pockets, weight, and zippers. It's simple, refined, and well made. The zippered case features a carrying handle and it is designed to hold any 15 inch laptop. The exterior is made of a scratch-free material that is also water & wear resistant, which means that the case should really last. Although inexpensive, the CaseCrown Slim Case feels expensive and looks professional enough to bring to work.

FLO TV is a new service that streams high resolution Live TV to compatible cell phones and portable devices. Their flagship hardware is the FLO TV Personal Television. The device is a touchscreen handheld device that weighs 156g and is similar in size to an iPhone, with a convenient built-in kickstand. We were initially very impressed with the device when we first got to check it out, but now that we finally got a chance to put our review sample through its paces, we can recommend the FLO TV Personal TV, even though it's a first generation device.

The Speck Fitted Artsprojekt Cases, as we reported back in December, are a deviation for Speck from their usual pinstripe and relatively reserved designs. This new collection is vast and exclusive to Speck and features designs from the Artsprojekt Global Creative Network. There are currently only three of these cases available so far, and the one that struck me the most was Cutie Pie. I guess it could be the red hair or maybe the teddy bear hood - who knows…

The Sound ID 400, by Sound ID, functions similarly to every other Bluetooth headset out there, except it is way more comfortable. The RealComfort EarLoops, which come in three sizes, really does provide “exceptional comfort,” without requiring an over-the-ear hook.  Sound ID was founded by an otologist (an ear doctor), so they incorporate their vast knowledge of the inner-workings of the human ear to optimize speech clarity and listening power. It is built with noise-reduction and clarity-enhancing technologies, which seems to work, to a degree…

For a complete review of the LG eXpo, go here. The LG eXpo is the first phone available in the U.S. with a projector function. We've been hearing about projector phones coming to market for a while now, and almost thought that they'd never really materialize. But finally, one projector phone has made it's way to U.S. shores. To get up and running with the Mobile Projector accessory, You have to remove its battery cover for it to attach on to the phone since LG's Mobile Projector attaches onto the LG eXpo's backside.  It adds a nice amount of bulk to the phone, but it's totally worth it. We appreciate the fact that you can easily remove the projector when you need to so that the phone can slim down when you're not using the projector feature.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of LG Chocolate Touch. All opinions are 100% mine. I don't think of the LG Chocolate Touch as a phone with a killer music player, I think of it as a killer music player with a phone. The Original LG Chocolate was also media center oriented, but wow, was I surprised with the quality of the audio this phone was able to play. Who knew my mp3s sounded so good? Let's be honest. God didn't create all mp3s the same. Nor did he create all headphones and auditory perceptions the same. The Chocolate Touch coupled with the patented Dolby Mobile Technology gave me the power to make any mp3 sound exactly as I wished it could sound. This phone also restored the little faith I had left in my 3 year old ear buds. A few of my songs even convinced me I was listening to music in surround sound. Now I am an avid iPhone user, and swear by the phone, but for a company that started off making music players and progressed to the phone, I want to know why they can't make MP3s sound as good as Chocolate.

Slappa recently unveiled a new line of ladies laptop bags. From that collection we received a review sample of the sleek and sexy Loren bag. The bag's Designer style, normally found in handbags, merges shape fully with business practicality. Nothing about the appearance of this bag says it is for laptops. It simply says minimalist elegance. It is the anti-type to the blaring pink women's laptop bags we often spot on the market today. This is a bag that could seamlessly transfer from boardroom to boardwalk. We say minimalist because there aren't a lot of frills on this bag. The outside has two pockets, one on each side. One of them a zippered pocket, the other a slide in pocket. Inside there is a large padded plush lining laptop pocket. Opposite of that are a few little pockets for holding various small items. The largest would hold an iPhone and it's charger. Mostly I found myself just dumping stuff in the vast void space between. There is lots of room there and it is amazing how much i could fit. I actually lost my camera for two days in it.
