By Andrew Liszewski Billed as “the next generation in battery solutions for the outdoor enthusiast” the Brunton Sync provides the equivalent of 5,000 AA batteries (2,000 mA/5V output) in a compact device weighing just under a pound. And like those portable hydration systems for carrying...

By Andrew Liszewski LG’s GD910 is probably the first real watch phone to be released by one of the major electronics manufacturers, and while it was shown off at CES earlier this year with news that it would be available later in the year, representatives for the company were mum when it came...

By Chris Scott Barr My iPhone can do a lot of awesome things. There’s even an app that turns the screen into a virtual lighter, for when a particularly great song comes on during a concert. What it can’t do is actually light something on fire. In fact, until this Lighter Phone from Seabright...

By Andrew Liszewski My eyes usually glaze over when I come across yet another iPod/iPhone speaker dock, but there’s just something about the iF500 from Edifier that managed to pique my curiosity, and I think it might have something to do with the massive bulbous speaker clearly designed to mock...

By Shane McGlaun I hate to have to plug my iPhone in to charge. My wife keeps my office as dark as a cave to shave five cents off our electric bill so I usually can’t see where to plug my iPhone in.

By Shane McGlaun I am still rocking the original iPhone so I don’t get that snazzy GPS location feature. Sure, I can find my general location with the phone using cellular towers, but have often wished for a full GPS device when I was on the road. Navigon has announced a new application coming to...

By Shane McGlaun Despite the swine flu, there are still lots of people who have to travel internationally for business or even for fun. I can understand, I wouldn’t let some pork disease keep me from working or going on that vacation to Italy. An even bigger problem for travelers than swine flu is...

By Chris Scott Barr While yesterday’s support note didn’t specifically call out the Palm Pre by name, it was pretty obvious what they were talking about. Well Palm was listening, so now they have posted a rebuttal, which is below: Palm’s media sync works with the current version of...

By Chris Scott Barr The Pre is shaping up to be the best thing Palm has made since they introduced the Palm Pilot way back when. As such, it’s no surprise that it’s already getting hacked by people to become even more useful than it already is. My favorite one so far? Definitely the NES...

By Shane McGlaun I’m not a particularly heavy texter myself, but my wife is. I am here to tell you that when the wife or significant other likes to text, you will be answering lots of them and becoming much more of a texter than you might want. You may as well get a decent texting phone and make...
