In a move that shouldn't surprise many, it has come to light that Apple is finally unleashing the legal hounds on several iPhone/iPod/iPad accessory manufacturers for producing "sub-par" quality accessories. One example given by the lawsuit cites a case where an iPod user bought a third party battery charger from one of the defendants only to have the charger worsen his battery life. So far, there are over 20 different defendants named in the lawsuit.
As many of us have experienced over t...

iPhone docks and cases are a dime a dozen. It takes an increasing amount of creativity and uniqueness to even get me to notice a "new" case/dock these days. The iRetrophone Dock is one such dock.

If you're an iPhone user, you've no doubt run into a frantically flashing battery meter at least once or twice. With all the features (and hardware) packed under the iPhone 3G/S's hood, it certainly takes it's toll. Countless add-on batteries and battery cases have flooded the market since the inception of the iPhone. Some are better than others. How does the latest contender, the MiLi Power Skin fair?

One of the immediate issues that early adopters of the iPad realized from day 1 was that charging over standard USB ports was proving hit and miss and that their iPads either weren't charging, or not charging fast enough in the case of heavy use while plugged in to some computers. The problem lies with the fact that the iPad simply draws too much power for your common USB port to handle. If you find yourself in this position, Scosche has just the thing for you.

The fast paced way of life demands more and more from us each and every day. It seems society as a whole tries to cram in just one more thing into whatever spare seconds we have. When it gets down to it, some people may not even have time to type out full words and sentences, resorting to characteristic text message language such as LOL and BTW among others. Even then, some people are finding themselves strapped for time. For those individuals, I have the tool just for them -- the LOL Keyboa...
Star Wars themed Speakers ready to rock your geeky little world

Bobble heads they are not. Light they do not shine. These seemingly clever gadgets appear to at first be another geeky lamp. Upon closer inspection however, you'll quickly notice they are in fact speakers. What's different from normal Star Wars themed gimmicky gadgets is that these actually look really well done. That is of course based on physical looks alone.
How do they actually sound? That is another story -- one that I cannot answer unfortunately. And without a spec sheet to run t...

Think sound quality are the only things people care about when purchasing headphones and in this case, ear buds? Well, it shouldn't be any surprise that the answer to that question is actually a pretty loud and resounding "No". Hell, if it where, half of Japan's headphone business would be wiped out. Their at times odd fascination with the more "creative" side of headphone design has created some of the more elaborate designs I've seen in simple sonic devices. At the same time, that design a...
Logitech unveils marathon-like wireless keyboard and mouse with 3-year battery life.

Tired of having to constantly replace batteries in all of your wireless devices? I know I am. Throwing away cash and time on batteries is no one's chosen task in life. Wireless computer accessory makers routinely tout their devices and products life-span on a single set of batteries. In regards to wireless mice and keyboards, a solid 10-18 months isn't out of the norm. I generally don't have any complaints either. A solid year seems good enough, right?
Not to Logitech. Announced today,...
