Mustek’s Freestyle Mp3 Headphones
December 30, 2007
A pair of headphones that doubles as an Mp3 player? Why do we feel like we’ve seen that before. Or are we confusing headphones with sunglasses… Anyway, Mustek has put transformed headphones in to 2GB Mp3 player that can play both MP3 or WMA files.

Spi Inc’s Pink Accessories Galore
December 28, 2007
Spi Inc. is not a counter intelligence subsidiary as you may guess from the name. Rather, it is a female owned business whose products appear in many major US stores such as Sharper Image, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Neiman Marcus. Rocking their girl power, is a new line of pink ipod accessories.
There are a few, starting with the pink Laptop Lapdesk. Pretty much all of us have experienced the overheating of a laptop while it is on our lap, and it isn’t much fun. The lapdesk props up the laptop to allow it to breathe. It also lends itself to ergonomic practices, such as a padded area for your wrist as you type. After hours on a laptop, the finger pad mouse gets a little annoying. To alleviate this, in the back of the desk, clipped in, is an attachable area for your mouse. It is designed to clip into either side of the desk (kudos for thinking of the lefties!). There is also some slight padding on the bottom that is shaped for resting on your legs. This certainly was designed for those who use laptops for long periods of time. [Read more]
Virtual Doorman Aim to Replace the Real Ones
December 28, 2007
Landlords in New York have found yet another way to skimp and save money by using a Virtual Doorman. Instead of paying a doorman to work on premises, a Virtual Doorman operates in a remote location. Using cameras he is able to see who is coming in and out of the buildings, talk to the people, grant them access and accept packages all from behind a computer somewhere far away. Of course for landlords this is great news because it is a lot more affordable than a regular doorman, and many residents who live in buildings with Virtual Doormans are even saying good things about the service.

Portable inMotion Sound Blade Speaker For Your Cell Phone
December 28, 2007
There have been a couple of companies coming out with bluetooth speakers but the sound quality coming from these has been questionable. Altec Lansing has finally jumped on the bluetooth bandwagon as well, and we have confidence that their bluetooth products will produce great sound just like with their other audio speakers. The inMotion SoundBlade is a portable 1″ thick speaker with two custom-built 2.5″ full range speakers inside of it for playing music off of your A2DP supported cell phone. [Read more]
Jensen HD Radio Doubles as an iPod Dock
December 27, 2007
Another iPod/MP3 dock you say - well the Jensen HD Radio not only comes with all the typical iPod docking features but with it you can also listen to HD Radio. Some of the most popular stations are all advertising that they can be heard in HD. But if you don’t have a compatible radio it really doesn’t matter either way. So instead of spending extra money on something that does just one thing you might as well spend it on something that does a little extra at the same time. Besides being a HD Radio and an ipod docking station it also works as an alarm clock. A remote is included as well. [Read more]

Maxtor Shared Storage II Networked Hard Drive Review
December 26, 2007
I guess it comes along with the territory that I have lots of computers. So when you have that many you tend to save documents and images separately on all of them. Which makes it very frustrating when you are trying to work with a document and it’s on another computer. It’s a terrible unorganized way of working. I always seem to be running between computers constantly to find what I need.
So thankfully many companies are making external network shared hard drives which you can dump all your files on to and access remotely from anywhere as long as you have a Ethernet/WiFi connection where you are and the hard drive is connected to a live connection as well. The Maxtor Shared Storage II with 1 Terabyte of space is one such drive that we fortunately were lucky enough to get our hands on to review. [Read more]

400 Disc DVD Changer Houses Your Whole Movie Library
December 25, 2007
DVD changers aren’t a new technology at all, but I was quite taken a back when I spotted a 400 disc DVD changer. I’m inherently lazy and as a result much of my DVD collection sits around collecting dust just because I’m often to lazy to get up and switch DVDs out of their cases and in to the DVD player. If I had one of these behemoths, I could have access to my whole library of DVDs in an instant. This is truly a lazy persons dream. Hard drived based entertainment players are great and all, but they are limited in what you can get on them. [Read more]

Hulu to Offer Free Ad-Supported NBC & Fox TV Shows Online
December 24, 2007
Even though iTunes charges for it, and we admit to having purchased it here and there, we think it’s a sin to have to pay for television shows. Especially when we shell out so much every month for cable. We don’t mind sitting through the ads if we have to, we just don’t think we should have to pay for a TV show that we’re watching on our computer. ABC currently has a wonderful online video service on its web site. Many a time we’ve watched Lost in HD on their site when the Tivo messed up. Now NBC and Fox are joining up together to create a service called Hulu. [Read more]
