Canary Device

Canary Smart Home Security Device

Posted on

I'm getting hooked on looking at Kickstarter and Indiegogo sites.  These funding sites have a lot of great tech that is up and coming.  I love looking through all the cool new gadgets, and honestly, I just can't help but pre-order things.  I came across the Canary Smart Home Security Device (much later than a lot of people I guess as they've already achieved...

Google Chromecast

Google Chromecast

Posted on

Google announced the Chromecast, a dongle that attaches to a HDMI port on your TV and allows you to stream content from a mobile device (like a Smartphone orTablet) to your TV.  All for a small price of US$35.  While I do think it's innovative and could see reasonable demand given the price, I'm not sure I would get one.  Isn't this similar to...

New Nexus 7

New Google Nexus 7

Posted on

Google has announced the next generation of its Nexus 7.  As a previous owner of the original Nexus 7, I'm curious to see what this new device will bring.  From the specs, this looks like a fairly good upgrade: HD screen, back camera and faster processor.  I still wish it had a micro-SD card slot, but I guess we can't have it all.  The...

GlassUp

GlassUp Eyeglasses

Posted on

GlassUp getting highlighted today on Yahoo and caught my attention, not for the technology, but for the price comparison (with Google Glass).  GlassUp has a similar glass device, that like Google Glasses, creates a heads-up display of sorts that can show, among other things, incoming messages, etc.  While it doesn't do the same display as Google Glass which actually presents an image, GlassUp is more...

Leapmotion Box

Leapmotion arrives!

Posted on

More than a year ago, I heard about Leapmotion, this new device that would give you a novel way of controlling your computer.  By using hand gestures, you can control and use your computer just by waving your hands.  It sounded and looked so cool, I was totally sold.  So I went to their site and ordered one.  Well, its been a long time...

Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Sony Xperia Z Ultra 6.4″ FHD Smartphone

Posted on

Sony has announced that it is now taking pre-orders for the Xperia Z Ultra, a 6.4" FHD handset.  While I think it's a novel design, and certainly will be the new "king" of the big screen handsets (especially considering its a full HD screen), I'm not sure this has enough appeal for most people.  I love the Xperia Z for its ultra thin design...

Microsoft Surface RT price drop

Posted on

Microsoft have announced a roughly 30% price drop to the Surface RT.  I've actually owned the Surface RT and I can tell you that it's a decent device to have as a tablet for work use.  Office is actually usable as opposed to Android/iOS options.  Still, it's no PC.  But the size, screen and that clever cover/keyboard make it a very attractive option.  The...

LG Optimus G Pro

LG Optimus G Pro arriving

Posted on

LG is launching the Optimus G Pro, expected on June 14.  I'm excited because for all purposes, this phone is exactly the same as the Samsung Note 2, except that it has a Full HD screen.  The Note 2 is one of my favorite phones - I love the big screen and the size of the device.  But it's not FHD.  And once you...

Sony Vaio Pro 11/13

Posted on

Sony has launched a new line of their Vaio laptops called the Pro 11/13 (a 11" version and a 13" version) which it touts as the lightest Ultrabook in its class.  That's excellent timing!  I'm potentially in the market for a new laptop for work and want it to be light, first and foremost.  I have a natural bias to Sony products so this...

HTC One vs Samsung S4

Posted on

I've been getting lots of questions regarding which one I would choose. As a mass consumer of smartphones (I pretty much buy with my own money the newest handset when it comes out), people have been asking which I would choose.  For me, I like "new" things - new concepts, new designs, new innovation.  In that regard, the HTC One is a big win...
