I'm completely on the wearable tech bandwagon, but I'm definitely still skeptical about the whole smart wallet concept. That doesn't mean I've written it off completely, which why I'm very intrigued reading about the new Wocket Wallet . …

Clearly mobile charging technology is about the hottest tech trend these days, just as we predicted back in January. Especially now that we can't leave home without something that rings, vibrates, or keeps your fingers occupied on your c…

I wouldn't call myself a person who particularly likes to "rough it." Call me crazy for wanting plumbing. That said, I have gone camping on a couple of occasions and do envision taking the kids to teach them about enjoying the great outd…

I have become a die-hard devotee of mobile chargers, from portable battery packs and charging cases to other portable power sources . The one issue: I am a die-hard misplacer of the cables that often connect them. Don't ask. But aha! A b…

The more gadgets I feel I need to travel with, the more cords I find I'm cramming into a little zip bag--which means the more cords I'm frantically untangling when I realize the power on my phone is down to 2% and I need a charge. A bett…

Not to feed into any stereotypes or anything, but in general, guys like tech. Oh sure, maybe your fella would be pumped to get a t-shirt inscribed with "World's Greatest Dad" for Father's Day, but let's just say, for argument's sake, tha…

With summer officially here, and hints of warm weather (at least for some of you, sheesh), I'm already preparing for a fun-filled couple months of sand and surf. My trusted companion, aka my phone, is not a fan of these elements though, …

While you can't exactly fly around the country any more with your handy Swiss Army knife in pocket, this tech version is the perfect tool to keep on hand wherever you may go this summer. The USB Utility Charge Tool comes in a few fun, mo…

With Father's Day coming up June 16, we're already looking for some of the coolest tech gifts for dad. Since I've always had a heart for handmade, I'm loving the idea of bringing both sensibilities together with these great-looking leath…

While one of you will win the sweet Samsung Galaxy Note on our Mother's Day gift guide this year, we know that not every tech gift comes free. Still, it's nice to know there are some cool tech gifts for moms out there that won't cost you…

I know I'm not the only person who has had to flip a coin (or engage in lengthy debate) to determine whose cell phone was most in need of charging in the car, when we only had one phone charger on hand. The TYLT dual USB car charger puts…

It sometime takes Android and Blackberry users just a wee bit of time to be able to jump on the same cool smartphone accessory trend as the iPhone users. Increasingly, that's becoming less of an issue. The Juicies Colorful Micro USB cabl…

If there's one tech trend we're excited about, it's the increasing number of solar chargers (and not just because cord nests that grow around our outlets make us crazy). Now there's one more I discovered and it's not just smart, it's pre…

Music makes up a huge part of my life. This family is known for our regular sing-a-longs, dance parties, and impromptu performances of all sorts. But occured to me recently though that as important as music is here, our home is not prope…

I have a confession: I have a habit "shopping" for weather reports--I tend to click around the various networks and web channels until I find the one I like. No rain, high of 72? I'll take that one ! But now there's a device that can kee…

My forgetfulness has been the bane of my (and my husband's) existence. Lest you think I exaggerate, perhaps I will tell you about the time I left my wallet on top of my car and drove away. For fellow forgetters like me, here is a fantast…
