Review: Case-mate iPad Express Case VS Speck PixelShield Carry Sleeve
Posted on 13. Apr, 2010 by John.
Whenever a new device that has had as much anticipation and coverage as the iPad the second most important thing about the device launch is; accessories.

Posted on 08. Apr, 2010 by John.

Review: Sound ID 400 Bluetooth Headset
Posted on 06. Apr, 2010 by John.
Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of bluetooth headsets, never have seen the point to them. I realize that they make driving and talking on the phone easier, but I have never liked how they fit in my ear, pick up too much background noise, and I cannot hear anything [...]

Verizon BlackBerry PTT Walk Through
Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by John.
I have been playing around with the Verizon Push-To-Talk application that was released today for the BlackBerry Tour and I have to say I am impressed. I was planning on making a video originally but since both contacts phone numbers are on practically every single screen, I figured a screen or two would suffice. First [...]
