DLO JumpStart iPhone Battery Pack Review

The DLO JumpStart is a new attachable battery pack plus sync cable for the iPhone, iPhone 3GS, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, and iPod Touch. For an iPhone 3G, the JumpStart can provide you with nearly double the battery capacity, or rather - it will provide you with almost an extra 100% extra charge while you're on the go. Using the JumpStart, you can also charge and sync your iPhone/iPod to iTunes.We tested the JumpStart with the iPhone 3G. As much as we love the iPhone, it can barely make it through a day of heavy use without needing extra power. So a battery pack is an essential iPhone accessory to carry with you.

Sony Ericsson MW600 Hi-Fi Wireless Headset Review

The Sony Ericsson MW600 is a bluetooth “headset” that streams audiophile-grade audio from your phone or A2DP device. This small AA-battery-sized device incorporates a microphone for voice-activated commands, an AM/FM radio, and a small OLED display. There is no other Bluetooth device on the market quite like the MW600. Essentially, it will turn any pair of standard 3.5mm headphones into Bluetooth headphones, which can make calls and stream music without touching your phone.

TouchTec iPhone Gloves Review

We received a sample pair from Gasper Gloves that use TouchTec technology. We had previously seen a demo of some TouchTec gloves in action and had briefly tried them out. And finally I got to spend some serious time with a pair of my own. The black leather pair that I received is lined with a very soft and very warm fleece lining. It has gotten very cold in New York this past week, so the timing couldn't be better to be using these gloves. I can't describe what a treat it is to be able to use my iPhone outside in the cold without having to pull off my gloves. I've become the envy of my peers whose hands still shiver everytime they use their smartphone outdoors.

Dyson DC31 Animal Handheld Vacuum Review

The Dyson DC31 Animal could be considered the handheld version of the Dyson upright and canister vacuums. It too has the root technology that its other siblings have, along with powerful suction, and sensitivity to allergens too. I have used many a vacuum in my years on this earth: Hoover, Kenmore, Dirt Devil, Miele, iRobot Roomba, Shark, and the Black & Decker Dustbuster, to name a few, and even the old school Electrolux. But until this past week I had actually never gotten my hands on a Dyson.

TENQA SP-109 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker Review

Tenqa’s SP-109 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker is a compact wireless speaker system compatible with most Bluetooth devices including iPod Touch, iPhone, Laptops, and other Bluetooth A2DP mp3 players/cell phones. It has a slim desktop design and weighs in at mere 2 pounds. Our review sample box included the SP-109, with attached power cable, an axillary cable, and a small easy-to-read manual.

iLuv iMM153 Desktop Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker Review

The iLuv iMM153 Desktop Alarm Clock is not like other iPod alarm clocks out there. Not only does it wake you up - it shakes you up! We've seen a few alarm clocks come out that literally shake you out of bed in the morning, but the iMM153 is the first one of those alarm clocks that also works as an iPod alarm clock. With the IMM153 you can choose to be woken up via iPod, FM radio, buzzer, or the bed shaker.

Sungale Cyberus Color ebook Reader Review

The last few weeks we have been inundated with ebook readers. Whether it be the Nook, Kindle, Alex, and the latest hubbub over the Aluratek Libre. Well the Cyberus from Sungale may not have been as publicized as those other ones, in fact it doesn't just want to be known as an ebook reader but a universal portable media device.

Hands On with the Xbox 360 Lips #1 Hits

When I walked into the Xbox 360 Lips #1 Hits event, I knew it was my kind of party. Located in a basement karaoke bar hidden away on a NYC side street, it was all about a Chinese food buffet, blaring music, and amateur karaoke stars singing along to new favorites and old standards. At a normal karaoke bar, you choose some mainstream song and sing along with the bootleg instrumental version of it. With Xbox 360 Lips, it's a totally different experience. Lips plays the real version of your favorite songs with the main singer's voice turned down but still audible. It makes

Lady Gaga Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones Review

When we got up close and personal with the Lady Gaga Heartbeats back in September we were automatically drawn to the the whole fashion meets technology angle. Lets face it, Lady Gaga epitomizes that concept. We finally got our hands on a review sample of the Heartbeats and lets just say, it's not a bad romance.

MAGHOUND Review

I might be a blogger, but I still love magazines. A little while ago we gave away subscriptions to MAGHOUND, a new service that can best be described as Netflix for Magazines. For a monthly fee as low as $4.95, you can get 3 magazines delivered to your mail box. But what makes MAGHOUND special is the fact that each month you can switch around which 3 magazines you receive. So if you're someone who doesn't like the idea of 12 month magazine subscription commitments, and you appreciate having variety, MAGHOUND is for you. Alternatively for $7.95  month you can receive 5 magazines or 7 for $9.95 a month.

Jabra Halo Review

You can tell that from the moment you look at its minimalist design, that the Jabra Halo is not your typical stereo bluetooth A2DP headset. The HALO sports touchscreen controls on its right hand earpiece and it also features AVRCP which lets you play and pause music tracks, as well as skip backward and forward on music tracks.

BlackBerry Bold 2 9700 Review

The new Blackberry Bold 2 is not a revolutionary update to the original Bold 9000, but the new model improves on the original with significant refinements that will make T-Mobile BlackBerry users very happy, especially since it's the first Blackberry to support their 3G network. What is really nice about the Bold this time around is that both AT&T and T-Mobile are getting it at the same time, there are no exclusives. Thank goodness! We're so sick of carriers getting exclusives over one another, and if AT&T got one more great smartphone exclusive we just couldn't bare it.

Speck CorePack Fly Notebook Messenger Bag Review

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of airport security, is the hassle of having to take my laptop out of my bag and putting it into one of those cold hard plastic containers to be scanned. I can't help but get nervous that my laptop is going to get scratched or bumped around in those nasty gray containers. With Speck's new line CorePack Fly, these TSA approved bags let you carry your laptop through security without unpacking it for a hassle free travel experience.

Philips Wake-Up Light Review

The Phlilps Wake-Up light is designed to enhance your physical well being when its time for you to get up in the morning. When we got a hands on demo a few weeks ago, we witnessed for ourselves the overall charm of this unusual device. The Wake-Up Light features a soft light that gently glows as you awake from your deep slumber, it also plays back soothing sound effects that include the gentle sound of wind chimes or chirping birds, which make this device especially appealing for those who hate to wake up. So when we received a review sample we were eager to see if this device would lighten our mood in the morning when we woke up, instead of just grouchily hitting the snooze button.

Epson NX515 Printer Review

We have had over a dozen printers here in the past 10 years. Some HP, some Epson, and I believe one Canon. When it comes to print quality and driver compatibility, Epson has always come out on top. This week we looked at the Epson Stylus NX515, how does it compare with its predecessors? Before we even opened the box I was excited. It’s a WiFi printer, it’s pretty and it’s an All-in-One printer (it prints, it scans, it copies). Let's take a look at it…

Darkest of Days Review (Xbox 360)

Once and a while a video game comes along that takes your average video game and turns it into something special, Darkest of Days happens to be just one of those games. In Darkest of Days , you get to experience some of the most varied gameplay ever released in one title.  Things will never get stale as you travel through different timezones and fight alongside people from that time period.  You will battle in in five different Time Periods: Pompeii, Antietam, WWI, WWII,  or Little Big Horn and you will fight with real weapons from that time period. You begin the story as Alexander Morris fighting at the battle of Little Big Horn where you are shot with an arrow, but saved by a fellow named Dexter who is from the future. Dexter becomes your partner for the game. It turns out that a company called Kronotek Technology has perfected time travel and has been using it to save those that should have survived fatal events during wars throughout time. Your mission of the game is to go back and save those that might have been ultimately killed during great wars.

MusicSkins Review

MusicSkins is a company that is similar to GelaSkins, however their primary difference is that they specialize in skins that feature musicians. Where GelaSkins concentrates on being 'Mobile Art', MusicSkins concentrates on making your fave music artist a skin for any device you may have. There are even skins for your Guitar Hero/Rock Band Controller and Seagate hard drives. I have been a big fan of GelaSkin for sometime and I even tweeted not so long ago that I was already on to my 4th laptop, yet I was still using the same GelaSkin. So would the MusicSkin hold up to that type of challenge? Would it be just as good quality? I had used similar skins prior to GelaSkins and wasn't all that impressed. I was either disappointed by the quality, long term durability, or just the selection of designs. MusicSkins offers up music artist centric designs but also Fashion, Art, Obama, Models, Charity, and Media designs. Music designs are broken up by genre and give consumers the full spectrum of whatever music taste they may have. Pop, Rap, Reggae, and Rock all there plus a few more.

Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 Review

The new Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 is the ultimate keyboard for the mobile professional and anyone else who is constantly on the go. Unlike most mobile keyboards which compromise in some area, the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard hasn't made much sacrifices.The keyboard is also a great solution for netbook users who want a portable solution to compliment their very cramped netbook keyboard.

Buffalo MiniStation Metro Review

If you are in the market for a new external portable hard drive, then the Buffalo MiniStation Metro is a good solution for your portable storage needs. Its smart and clean design is perfect for throwing into a briefcase or pocketbook. Its very lightweight at only 8.5 ounces and it has a unique exterior with an integrated Flex USB cable that wraps around the hard drive, thus alleviating an additional bulge in your bag from a USB cable. As a result, you'll never have to worry about forgetting to bring a USB cable with you again. And in case the Flex USB cable is not long enough for your computer, then there is an included extension USB cable to attach to your computer as well. The design also features Buffalo’s BumperBody shock absorbers that "surround the hard drive inside a sturdy body that also has rubberized protectors on the outside." Although not being marketed as a rugged hard drive, we dropped the hard drive a few times from about a foot high on to a desk and threw it around a little to test just how shock absorbing the drive is, and the MiniStation Metro kept on running.

Monster Turbine Pro Review

The new Monster Turbine Pro High Performance In-Ear Speakers are not a replacement to the Monster Turbine High Performance In-Ear Speakers, but another choice for those Audiophiles who didn't think the original Turbines did their music justice. The newest pair of In-Ear Speakers are again a labor of love from Monster and aim to please those looking for the perfect sound reproduction. There is a reason these are called 'Pro.'

HP SimpleSave Hard Drive Review

Anybody who has ever had their computer crash on them and lost precious irreplaceable files knows just how important it is to back your computer up. The more backups the better. Not only does backing your computer up protect you from when (not if) your computer will have a complete meltdown, it also gives you the peace of mind knowing that your files are safe even if you accidentally delete them.
