We don’t always treat our technological devices in the best way possible. Our cell phones get tossed around our bags and sat on in our pockets, while our iPods fall and our laptops slam. Sometimes the best investments you can put in your gadgets are small accessories that make all the difference.
With the fluctuating shape and size of cell phones, ...

With Apple’s current release of their newest version of their music player sensation, the iPod Shuffle, there seems to be a little snag on the side of their new control-touch headphones. The new 4GB version of the popular MP3 player features a new VoiceOver application, which allows the player to speak song titles in up to 14 different languages. The actual dimensions of the player have also decreased while the GB increase allows ...

Living for the past month in the south of Ireland, one of the world’s most notoriously rainy landscapes, is enough to make me re-evaluate not only my footwear and wardrobe, but also my pitifully weak first defense; my umbrella. With all the talk of the climate change and rainfall, it’s no wonder the Nubrella, caught my eye. When featured on the Today show, I was naturally ...

Perhaps you were lucky enough to find an iPhone stuffed in your stocking this Christmas. If that’s the case, you’re also in luck because in December Microsoft officially released its first application for the iPhone, titled “Seadragon Mobile.” The application, which currently lacks a platform from its own manufacturers, is developed to change the way the user interacts with the screen, allow them to navigate screens and see pictures regardless of the amount of data in ...

Blockbuster has for a long, long (long)
time been struggling. It seems that buying 30 copies of “Hottie and the Nottie”
for hundreds of Blockbuster locations was not (contrary to common sense) a good
business move. It’s also been rumoured for some time that Blockbuster has been
plotting an entry into the set-top box market. Such a move would allow for
(conceivably) unlimited copies of “Hottie and the Nottie” to be rented. The MediaPoint
player, built by 2Wire, is actually going to be offered gratis ...

Apple might be getting on the wearable electronics bandwagon with designer Gopinath Prasana’s new iPod concept design, tentatively called the “iBangle.” Taking the miniature size of current iPod Nanos to the next step, the iBangle is a thin metallic bracelet the houses all the normal iPod controls and features in a convent wearable form.
Designs feature all normal play, pause, stop and skip features as well as a hold button alongside a thin horizontal trackpad for volume and menu navigation while a small silver the Apple logo will act as the home button. The iBangle does not ...

Reusable batteries are toted as a great money-saver for the electronically minded, as well as the environmentally conscious, for their help in reducing excess battery waste. They’re even becoming popular in the search for alternative fuel sources. But our day-to-day rechargeables can also be a pain with bulky rechargers and short lives.
As good as rechargeable batteries are, they could be better.
This is where the USBCELL comes in. Developed by Moxia ...

USB drives are a necessity for just about everyone, and there are a number of cute and fashionable ways to secure your USB, but recently USB drives, as well as other computer componets, have begin to not only become more intriguing, but more fashionable. The Swarowski Heart Beat USB takes on a dual role as fashion accessory and storage device. The actual storage device is nestled in between two sides of a stainless steel heart-shaped pendant, one half of which is set to sparkle ...

If you are a member of Generation X or older, or if you are into old-school storage media from the 1900s, you might want to have a look at the Ion LP 2 Flash Turntable. If a boombox from Sony that accepts iPhones and iPod Touches as though they were last-century audio cassettes isn't enough for you, then you might also be someone who should consider the Ion LP 2 Flash Turntable. Of course, if you hate vinyl records, then don't bother. But if you love vinyl records ...

The Sony ZS-S4iP Boombox is Sony's attempt to give iPhone and iPod Touch owners a great way to listen to their music with a few nostalgic hints of the past. You may remember those days of long ago, where music came "recorded" onto "magnetic tape" using primitive "analog" technology. This magnetic tape was wrapped around tiny plastic reels. The reels were then encased inside a plastic frame that would keep the tape from unspooling without control. These constructions were known to the people of the time as "audio cassettes" or sometimes "tapes."
