After seeing the Lenovo IdeaPad A1 Tablet at CES 2012, I was anxious to get my hands on one to do a full-fledged review for our readers, simply because I was sure that the tablet was one that could prove to be a strong contender in the sub-$250 7-inch tablet wars. Of course, we’ve all seen the...

As we all know, Android is not the best Operating System as far as battery life goes and with manufacturers trying to keep the size and weight of devices down as small and slim as possible, the batteries are not really increasing in size. Getting a full day of battery life from your Android device can...

While in attendance at CES, Tony and I had a thought. I know, strange, we think. While the next latest and great Android device is awesome to see, review and read about, many people we talked to were more about the accessories that they could afford now and could use for years to come. So we went on...

Last time I reviewed one of zBoost’s products, I mentioned how the SOHO Xtreme improved my signal vastly, up to 5,500 feet. However, what if you’re on the go? What if you’re driving and you need to make some important calls? (Although we don’t recommend you use your cell phone...

If you live in an area where cold weather is a factor, you’ve probably found yourself wishing for a way to keep your hands warm and still be able to use your touchscreen devices. Today, I was greeted by my mailman with a package that held the solution to that very problem. Say hello to the Agloves Sport...

When I think of the words ‘Device Stand’ I immediately think about stands for tablets. Having an accessory that can hold up your tablet for you for watching movies, reading books and even working can really make your user experience much more enjoyable. We don’t that often see a stand...

In these bittersweet times of amazing mobile devices and the lackluster batteries that power them, there’s one thing that most of us are always longing for — something to keep our phones and tablets juiced up enough to get us through the day. The Innergie PocketCell is an amazing product,...

If you’re looking for a car mount for your phone, you probably know how difficult it can be to find one that fits your device properly, while still offering easy access and functionality you need while you’re driving down the road, drinking that morning latte and fixing your hair on the way...

I have been an avid music fan for many years. I’ve always tried my best to take music with me wherever I go, be it on foot or behind the wheel. In my time, I’ve tried dozens of different types of “portable” solutions that would simplify my music’s mobility and allow me...

One thing that was on my Christmas list this year was a case for my Samsung Galaxy S 2 that wouldn’t add too much bulk, look good and actually provide a decent level of protection. I’ve had my eye on the D3O cases for a while and was so glad to open one up Christmas day! When I put the...

Generally speaking, I’m not usually a fan of in-ear headphones. I’ve owned several mp3 players in my days, and each one of them came with those ill-manufactured circular speakers that, unless I actually jam them in my eardrums, always seem to want to fall out of my ear. I dunno, maybe I...

Some of you may remember the review we posted back in July for JLabs J4M series. They had a lot of great qualities and some serious sound capabilities. We even received many confirmations from users that they were outstanding and they loved them. A couple of weeks ago I got my hands on one of JLab...

I posted my initial impressions of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc a couple of weeks and now I’ve had chance to play with the phone some more, I decided to record a quick video review so you can see the device in action. The Xperia Arc is available on the Rogers network in Canada, but that’s...

While the Sony Ericsson Arc is not the newest device on the block, it’s the first time I’ve actually got my hands down and dirty with the device.  I have to say that this is the most stylish phone I’ve had the pleasure to gaze my eyes on.  We had a quick glance at the device at CES2011 and it...
