If you have to put your Kindle away at some point, it might as well be in something a beautiful as these handmade to order e-reader cases from this lovely Etsy Shop. The Nimoo Etsy shop makes every one of their beautiful Kindle cases (ta…

With an impending long road trip that the kids are already whining about, I'm in the process of loading up the digital entertainment options on my iPad. My primary source has always been iTunes, but with the launch of the new Amazon Inst…

Last weekend, I found myself stuffing my iPhone into a plastic bag to keep it safe from all the damage that could be done during one little day at the beach. But considering how often our family goes, not including the days spent at the …

While it's been around for a little bit, I finally got to check out Microsoft's Arc Touch mouse in person and uh...is it strange to be coveting a mouse? The Arc Touch Mouse now makes pretty much any mouse you've ever used in your life lo…

Along with all those things I can't leave home without, my iPad is at the top of my list this summer. But, since I don't want to add more bulk to my overstuffed bags, I'm digging this slim and clever sleeve stand that gives my precious c…

Look at this picture quickly: Cool camera, right? Now look closely...because it's actually an iPhone. I'm totally blown away by the gorgeous iCA Leather iPhone cases that turn your ordinary ubiquitous Apple phone into something more. At …

There are so many pretty iPhone cases out there that I covet, especially ones like this Watercolor Leaves case or this Van Gogh-inspired wrap case . But sometimes, just sometimes, fashion can take second place to function and this new Hy…

Whether we're camping, trying to catch fireflies, or just going out to the beach to watch the waves by moonlight, my kids like to have a little light nearby to keep an eye out for those things that go bump in the night. And while flashli…

I have no idea why it took me so long to make the big move from the iPad touchpad keyboard to a real live tactical keyboard, but I finally did. And wow, what a difference it makes when the keyboard is as great as this one. The Belkin key…

I have the terrible habit of dropping my little point-and-shoot camera right into my bag without first putting in the case. Now that I have a camera I love , I've gotten better. But there's nothing like the incentive of a cute new camera…

If you've got a laptop and a seat at Starbucks that should have a brass plaque with your name on it, then this Kate Spade laptop case is right up your alley. I love the "Out of Office" Laptop Sleeve which is the perfect cheeky message in…

This weekend, my daughter took a dip in a pool wearing her cousin's goggles. She emerged giggly, delighted with the newfound discovery of how cool it is to see underwater. So when I found this swim mask that does even more than help you …

The place where I charge my iPhone is on the desk in our kitchen, where mail, bills, kids' artwork and trinkets always seem to get placed. And every day or so when I need to juice my phone, I always find myself maneuvering the cable arou…

As much as my kids love the beach and the pool, my husband and I tend to forgo any sort of technology for fear that our precious iPhones and music players will end up filled with sand. But after discovering these handy beach-ready speake…

Edited to add: Don't miss a chance to win your own! Details below Thank goodness there are Bluetooth devices like the Parrot MINIKIT+ for my car, because toting around four girls means I have become a multi-tasking master of question-ans…

With so many of our friends and family hitting the road for summer weekends now, we thought it might be fun to round-up our Cool Mom Tech staff's favorite kids' apps. So charge your iPad or smart phone and get downloading. Here's to a sa…

Getting passport photos taken is arguably one of the least fun aspects of trip preparation (besides actually waiting on line for the passport). The last time I had to get passport pictures taken, I unfortunately chose an extraordinarily …

After lugging my gigantic MacBook Pro around with me around town for work, and then on a few business trips, I decided that it might be time to look at something smaller. I own several netbooks, but unless I'm just checking email or doin…

If your family is anything like mine, a vacation means loading up all the tech gadgets to keep the troops entertained for the long trip ahead. With a pilot in the house, we do much more flying than driving, which can make things a little…

While our tech is getting smaller (brick phones of 1992, anyone?) it seems like my handbag isn't. I'm now carrying around chargers, wires, converters...gah. I've learned that my best bet is to keep it all organized instead of just tossin…

Imagine it's late, you're hungry and all you want is something sweet. Now imagine a fantasy world where you can drive to an ATM that dispenses delectable freshly-made Sprinkles cupcakes. Well hold onto your hats, people, because this fan…
