Evoz will begin shipping an audio baby monitor on October 4 that will allow parents to monitor their babies from just about anywhere. The Evoz Monitor and accompanying Evoz baby monitoring service turns any iPhone into a cry-receiver and alert system. The Evoz Monitor is the company’s first physical device. Previously, the Evoz app had [...]
The Swiss Army Knife just got a lot more useful. This week Victorinox announced the availability of two new USB flash drives: the Slim and Slim Duo. The Slim is your standard flash drive with a thin profile. However, it folds up into a Swiss Army Knife-esque case, making it twice as cool. The Slim [...]
At my school, we use the polycarbonate Macbooks for educational purposes. But rumor is, we might change to iPads because of the cost. No matter how you get them, here are some apps, accessories and more for your back-to-school iPad. The Smart Cover (Apple, Variety of Colors, $39 or $69, leather or polyurethane) covers the front of the iPad 2 and [...]
Belkin has a great accessory for those of us who use our tablets in the kitchen to look up recipes or watch episodes of Good Eats while we cook to make sure we’re doing everything right. The $39.99 Chef Stand + Stylus is listed as being for the iPad, but it will work with other [...]
The leaked Atari Arcade joystick controller for iPad has finally been announced officially. That’s right: it’s real, and it’s fabulous. This accessory allows you to play any of the Atari Greatest Hits games the way they were meant to be played. Or, at least, closer to the way we used to play them back in [...]
The iPhone and iPad are known for having high priced accessories, but if you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg to accessorize your iPhone, you need look no farther than the dollar store. On a recent trip to the Dollar Tree, a bargain shopping staple in the Midwest, I found a collection of iPhone and [...]
With the success of ThinkGeek’s iCade cabinet for the iPad, it’s pretty clear that analog game control is not dead. It’s not all a nostalgia thing, either — some games just do better when there’s a physical joystick and buttons to press. Also, how else are you going to score those extra few points by [...]
Tucked away in a small booth, far away from the big brands that dominate IFA 2011 in Berlin is the Autonomous Wheelchair of Freie Universtat Berlin. I’m all for smarter phones, bigger TVs and cooler tablets, but wheelchair is one of the highlights of the show since it is one of the few products here that [...]
The HTC ThunderBolt is an impressive phone, as long as it is powered on when you want to use it. I detailed all the reasons I bought it earlier this year, but I failed to take into account the horrible battery life that it has become known for. How bad is battery life on the [...]
We found the perfect mobile phone accessory if you miss untangling phone cords and holding a giant receiver between your cheek and shoulder. The POP Phone plugs into an iPhone, or any other device with a similar connector, and operates just like most other headsets… minus the whole hands-free thing. Besides acting as a conversation [...]
Mophie showed off a pair of battery packs for iPhones at Showstopers, an event at IFA 2011 in Berlin. The two iPhone accessories have not been officially announced yet, but Mophie reps were showing them off as a sneak peak. Both the Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation and Mophie Juice Pack Boost are designed for iPhone [...]
The company that makes my favorite case for the Macbook Air, Waterfield Designs, is rolling out a new service to outfit any device with the Ultimate SleeveCase. This service is a great solution to protect any tablet you might have, no matter what tablet it is. The ballistic nylon case with neoprene interior already fits [...]
Thanks to Delkin’s Fat Gecko Mounts for the iPad 1 and 2, users can secure an iPad to just about any surface or tripod. The accessory provides hands-free use of either iPad. The plastic clasps hold the iPad with a 1/4-20 female tripod adapter that connects to various styles of Delkin mounts or other standard [...]
Wacom. Tablet PC folks love Wacom digitizers and actually prefer them over the competition. Artists love Wacom’s digital tablets for sketching. Maybe there will be something new to love Wacom for with the announcement of the Inkling Digital Sketching System. What we’re looking at here is a pen and receiver that allows you to capture [...]
Most of the time we think about using a bluetooth keyboard with the iPad or Android tablets, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pair your iPhone with a Bluetooth keyboard to speed up data and text entry on the go. Recently a friend who runs a very mobile business, a party bus service, asked for some keyboards [...]
If you need an iPhone case that can handle your active lifestyle, the Pelican i1015 may be a good choice. This isn’t a slim case by any means, but if you like to take your iPhone hiking, biking and to the beach this is a good option. For about $20 you get a water-resistant, dustproof, [...]
iPad 2 users who like Apple’s Smartcover seem to be in constant search for a replacement for Apple’s magnetized screen cover and there are certainly no shortages of case makers out there willing to oblige. Those looking for a full case solution to cover the entire device have a number of options. But I’ve yet [...]
Bluetooth keyboards are finally back in style thanks to the tablet revolution. It started with a slew of mostly lackluster options for the iPad (with the exception of Apple’s offering). This summer we’re finally getting some good choices on the Android side as well. And where there are keyboards, one usually finds Logitech. Logitech’s Tablet [...]
Ever since Netflix updated their Android app to include more phones I have happily enjoyed going though all the old X-Men cartoons from the 90s. (They hold up well, but mostly to mockery.) Mostly I watch while lying in bed with the phone on the bedside table. But when I first attempted this, I discovered [...]
If you’re thinking about picking up one of RIM’s new BlackBerry 7 devices whether it’s the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Torch 9810 for AT&T or the BlackBerry Bold 9930 for Sprint, you’re probably going to want a solid case solution to go along with your new purchase and lucky for you, Otterbox has announced that [...]
If you want a piece of Bernie Madoff, the jailed investment magician who stole millions from investors, you can’t get your hands on Bernie, but you can get a piece of his clothing – a pair of pants to be exact. A NY company purchased Bernie Madoff’s clothing at the U.S. Marshall auction of Madoff’s possessions back [...]
While most of us have adjusted to software keyboards on our phones, serious productivity often counts on a hardware keyboard. ZAGG just released a new keyboard which helps iPad and Android owners get productive on the go. The ZAGGkeys Solo is a bluetooth keyboard that works with your iPad, iPhone, Android tablet and Android smartphone. Instead of a dock [...]
The folks at Patently Apple have dug up another crazy Apple patent. This time it’s for an inductive charging solution, but definitely don’t call it wireless. Meanwhile, wireless power developer WiTricity has posted a new demo of their truly wireless system that shows us how a battery-free Mac system could work.
Like the iPad, Samsung’s 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab has only one port, a 30-pin proprietary connector. And so, like Apple, Samsung has provided a few adapters for extending the use of this port: HDMI, USB and SD. Though having these ports on board might make life easier, these adapters at least offer the extra functionality… for an [...]
Today during Samsung’s software launch event in New York City the company not only showed off the new UI for the Galaxy Tab 10.1-inch, but also introduced the Tab’s accessory line. Samsung’s two docks are available right now via the website, but are they a worthy addition to your beloved Tab? Let’s take a look. [...]
I’ve been looking forward to wirelessly charging my HTC ThunderBolt since the day I saw the LG wireless charger months and months ago. We’ve seen the battery backs for several devices, but up until now haven’t been tempted to pay the pricey fee for a battery charger and battery back. The Verizon deal of the [...]
Like Wolverine from the comic books, the HP Elitebook 2760p convertible tablet packs a lot of power and weight in a relatively small package. Its weight, toughness, and stamina form a triangle of intertwined traits that work with and against each other.
Like the rest of the crew here at GottaBeMobile I’m always intensely interested in what gadgetheads carry around with them every day. It’s like book lovers with other people’s bookshelves. Getting a peek inside the gear bag gives some insight into a person… or a reason to be really judgmental. Either way, being the new [...]
I was one of those folks back when the iPad was first released that thought that Apple was hedging its bets by introducing a Bluetooth keyboard as an accessory. If you’re going to go touch, then go touch. Well, that was an extreme position then and it is now. I never purchased one of [...]
First, let’s get over or wallow in the whole man purse/bag thing. Go ahead. The rest of the post will be here when you get back. OK, now that you’re back, I think I’ve discovered a very good choice for a small gadget bag to tote the current crop of Tablets around in. It’s called [...]
Yesterday, we learned that the Motorola Droid Bionic might be missing that rumored August 4th release date in favor of a launch in September and I’m sure that left a few of you disappointed. It’s time to turn those frowns upside down though as there is now some evidence in the form of cases on [...]
I know there are some that would sooner be caught dead than wearing a Bluetooth headset. I’m not one of those. I depend on them quite a bit given that I do a lot of business on the phone when I’m driving to and fro, and also so I can keep my hands free while [...]
With Apple’s legal feud with Samsung escalating over the last couple of months over claims that they are copying the iPhone and iPad, you may think the Korean manufacturer would be especially careful not to release any products that look like Apple’s. It looks like somebody forgot to pass them the memo, as an iPad [...]

Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Review: A Worthy Successor to the Original (Video)
When Sprint had debuted the original WiMax-capable HTC EVO 4G nearly two years ago, it was an instant hit on the Now network. Not only was the HTC EVO 4G the first 4G smartphone in the world taking advantage of Sprint’s then speedy WiMax network, but it brought some new features and pizzazz to the [...]
Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company
As exciting as it has been to talk, postulate, and speculate about the Galaxy S III’s hardware and specs before the third-generation Galaxy flagship smartphone was announced on May 3rd in London, once the device was announced one thing became apparent: Samsung is now a software company. That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
Autumn Dynasty Review: A Great RTS for the iPad
With its large touchscreen, the iPad seems like the perfect platform for Real Time Strategy games, and Autumn Dynasty proves it, mostly. Autumn Dynasty is an RTS iPad game with art that looks like tradition Chinese painting. The story involves quelling a rebellion while solving a mystery of shady noblemen. The story though, just serves [...]
Griffin GuitarConnect Pro Review: Record Your Jams with Ease
The Griffin GuitarConnect Pro interfaces with your Guitar and your iPad or iPhone so you can record your music easily using apps like Apple’s GarageBand.
