This is the 4th Generation USB power bank for the latest iPad 3 “the new ipad” and iPad 2. It will never let your smart phones and Tablet PCs run out of battery. This compact and ultra long-lasting backup battery will be your perfect power solution on the go. When you travel, there’s no need to charge your devices through an electrical outlet, the iCruiser IMP1000 is the ultimate power source!

These days these amazing phones barely last 10 hours in a day, previously the Nokias and Ericssons would last a good 3 to 4 days before need a charge, I remember I would have just one charger but now I have to have a charger in the office, in the car, in the hallway, in every room, its ridiculous. Phone technology has advanced so much yet batteries haven’t changed much in the last two decades. Since I tend to travel a lot for work one of the things I get annoyed with is my phone running out of battery half way through a full day, and so after doing a bit of research the Trent 11000 was my choice and a great one at that. I charge the phones usually on the plane when I’m not using them, and that hour or two of charging brings it back to 100%. The Trent IMP1000 is like redbull but for electronics, it keeps giving it that kick. There are smaller versions but I opted for the larger one to charge my Kindle or iPad as well as my phones.

Pros:

• USB connection, so you can connect any type of wire to it, MicroUSD, MacroUSB, Apple, anything really
• Can charge your phone several times over
• I charged it 3 months ago and it still has a very large amount of charge, doesn’t dissipate battery when not used
• Charges Phones very quickly (iPhone & Android)
• Charges iPads relatively quickly

Cons:

• Its Bulky
• Slow to Charge Itself
• Its a Bit Heavy

Headcase is a innovative type of carrying case for crash helmets, New technology and manufacturing methods have enabled us to produce a case from a new design concept that is light weight, strong, durable, and stylish.

I tend to take my helmet a lot of different places and especially when traveling to and from the track, one thing people seem to forget or don’t know is that once your helmet takes a fall off a table or a bad bump its useless because the structure has been damage, even if its a light bump. They are meant to take crashes at over 200 mph/ 300 kmh and make sure that your head doesn’t explode, so I take it very seriously to make sure that the helmet has its structure integrity intact at all times. One of the ways to do that is using a good helmet case when your traveling and in this case I think I have found the best one by far.

Pros:

• Hard Textile Case
• Spring Internal System Holds The Helmet In Place
• Relatively Cheap Price
• Fit All My Helmets: Sheoi, Arai, Scoprion, Carberg
• Easy To Carry and Great for Traveling On Planes

Potter fans will go wild, Warner Brothers is releasing a 31 disc Blu-ray box set of the Harry Potter films! 31 insane discs! Your gonna have a Hogwarts overdose with this one, after watching all of these you will go through withdrawal.

The price is $350 for this insane set, it has all 8 movies and I don’t know what other crazy features it will have other then answering all your questions. For most people this set will not make any sense, I probably won’t get it even though it seems enticing because I already have a few movies and I just enjoy the movies don’t care about the extras really but still it looks like an impressive kit.

There are always different ways of using your iPad, I try and use it any situation, I usually have it sitting next to my desk on the right side of the screen. The way this HoverBar works is that it mounts on the back of the The HoverBar fits all iPad 2 models and attaches to all iMacs and Apple Displays with an L-shaped desk stand, priced at $79.99 its a bit on the high side but has a solid build.

Milo is the ideal place to rest your smartphone. A partner on the desk, nightstand or worktop that is dedicated to hold your device while in use or at rest. Milo is a minimal and fun desktop accessory. Perfect for hands-free conferencing, viewing videos or as a simple docking station.

Pros:

• Mounts To Any Phone Surface
• Mounts an Phone Size, even the Samsung Note
• Very nice Aesthetically
• Looks like its made out of metal when its really plastic and very light
• Suction on the bottom to hold it in place, and up top to hold the phone in place. Seriously this hi-tec Japanese micro-suction is pure genius.
• You can use the touch screen and move things around the screen without fear of it falling off the mount

Honestly there are no cons to this product, I don’t think I have ever found a phone holder so perfect. It puts your phone at the perfect angle and it holds it perfectly in place, too perfectly it takes a bit of a tug to get it out of the suction back of the Milo. And for $15 its really worth, I would pay $30 for it because its such a quality made product and very well designed and extremely practical. And I love the look that my phones look like they are just hanging there and I can

I have this tendency to like Messenger Bags and recently I have been eyeing the Blue Lounge Bonobo Series, they are really targeting techies with the way they designed the bags. Very sleek and clean design and made of recycled plastics, also they have treated the material to make it a soft mesh yet its water resistant.

Our new line of bags fuses urban design with superior craftsmanship. Our bags will transport your gear for years to come without ever cramping your style.

I decided to pick up the Messenger Bag because I like how it straps across your shoulder, at the same time I also picked up the 13 inch laptop sleeve which can few a few items into the sleeve. Its all very snug and well designed to carry all your techy needs in a seamless storage compartment. Its been a while since I have seen a messenger bag which goes across your back like it does with this messenger bag. For $139 it isn’t too bad and I tend to use my bags a lot, probably have one too many bags but still I like it.

When your gear feels right, your work goes more smoothly. The Pro Messenger AW was designed with this idea in mind. It’s built to fit pro-sized camera gear in configurations you’ve told us work best. It has an innovative flap that effortlessly folds in half to quiet your moves and quicken your pace.

Compactly packing all your camera gear into neat package makes this bag series very appealing. I have one bag which I use for packing my camera gear but recently I have more gear then the bag can take and the Lowpro’s Messenger AW Series looks very appealing with different sizes for different uses. With the largest of the three, the 200, you’ll find the front flap pocket is large enough to accommodate two DSLR bodies while the main compartment features customizable padded sections to fit lenses, a flash and other accessories. Each successive model reduces capacity for different uses. For street and travel shooting the 160 looks to the perfect bag as it’s small enough to pack in the luggage but big enough to house a DSLR, one extra lens, a flash and other assorted items when you grab for a day of shooting.

There are probably 1001 phone mounts available from phone shops or online. This Kickstarter project called The Oona, seems more versatile than most. The designers set out to solve these use cases and more:

• A GPS on the windshield of your car
• A reference device on a white board or Refrigerator
• The ability to mount your smart phone to a tripod to take photos or video
• Hands free viewing of a movie, playing on your smart phone
• A simple stand to keep your phone in view on your desk at work

It is a well designed and versatile mount which you can use in a lot of ways. I got two when I pledged for the Kickstarter project, and honestly it feels good to help projects that have potential and genuine ingenuity. I tried it out in different situations, the one drastic point is that the back of the phone or pda or e-reader needs to be smooth for the suction to hold the item.

Overall I was impressed and kept using it on my desk, tried it in my car, and even stuck it to the fridge and left it for a few hours. Its flexible and very useful, and one of the best parts is able to use it with my tripod, the guys who made it really wanted to use it every way.

At the end of a crazy year I think I have done some decent damage to my Amazon cart. Year on year the selection of electronics just keeps getting better and larger, with a few big ones that made a big scene like the iPad 2, Kindle Fire, iPhone 4S, and Google Galaxy Nexus. Below are just the list that popped into my head by the end of the year that left a mark for being interesting products and must be added to cart. Any other gadgets or items that pop into mind?

• Amazon Kindle Fire – Small, relatively cheap, and relatively awesome, the Kindle Fire is a great econo-splurge if you have any interest in portable movies, books, and games.
• Samsung Google Nexus – If you don’t want an iPhone this is the best option, and in my opinion a better option for sure!
• Harry Potter Blu-Ray Box Set (All 8 of them) – How could you not want this?
• Roku 2 XS – Simplest and best media player for your home
• Mac Book Air – They revamped it and it packs a bunch and still very light
• Go Pro HD 2 – The coolest and smallest video camera out there
• Sonos Play 3 – I’m a huge Sonos fan and they have made the perfectly sized audio player/speaker for this size
• Nike MAG – The Special Edition Back To The Future Nike Sneakers, I still want a pair to display on my shelf
• Sharp 80″ LED AQOUS – 80 inches and only $5500 not bad at all, every man loves big screens

I saw this and thought it looked like a cute safe, I even thought it was a very cool piggy bank. I got up closer to it only to realize that this was a watch winder safer, a ridiculously cool one at that. It looked like a retro mini safe from the 1950’s only when I walked up to it did I know what it was. It even opened and closed like a real safe with all the locks getting into place.

After doing a little research I realized that this watch winder safe is made by Dottling, and you would only probably get it for a super expensive watch since it costs $30’000. And here I thought it was a cool looking small piggy bank, I was way off, I even looked for the slot above. People usually get watch winders for their automatic watches so they are always charged since they require movement and these winders move periodically to keep it charged, you can control that. Even though it turned out to be insanely expensive I still thought it was cool.
