I'm as addicted to Spotify, Pandora , and iTunes as everyone else, but the teenage girl in me still gets all swoony over the thought of a mix tape. Remember what it was like, holding that plastic rectangle of dreams for the first time an…
Sadly, a single quarter is kind of useless these days, save for 10 measly minutes on a parking meter. But thanks to technology and smart design, a quarter is now super useful. Even your iPhone is sitting up to take notice. When I saw the…
I thought that the stylus had gone out with the Palm Pilot, but after using my iPad more frequently or taking notes, I realize how handy one can be. Of course, it is yet another gadget for me to keep track of. That's why I love this very…
I used to spend hours wearing a path in the carpet and talking on our wall-anchored telephone. And though my tween daughter will be less, er, tethered when she finally gets her own phone, I know she will probably follow in my chatty foot…
Something happened the day I switched from my ordinary but practical black laptop case to one a little more...me. I felt a little more me too. I figure since I pretty much carry my laptop every day, it makes sense to have a case that mak…
Since I just toss my laptop into my bag for on-the-go work sessions, a laptop sleeve is an absolute must. And I've got my eye on these stylish ones that just so happen to be eco-friendly too--right in time for Earth Day. The GreenSmart A…
With all the pretty iPhone cases we feature, I keep getting requests from my Blackberry-toting friends to find some covers for them as well. So leave it to CMP fave Jonathan Adler to design gorgeous cases that are perfectly sized for you…
I've seen my fair share of iPhone docks, and most of them are a little too bulky for my taste and my limited desk space. So as I was doing my weekly scan of Kickstarter (love them), I was so excited to find this new gadget that is exactl…
Mother's Day will be here before you can say "breakfast in bed" and, this year, I know exactly what I want. It's flowery, it's lacy, it's sooo pretty. And my iPhone is going to look gorgeous in it. The Blossom cover for iPhone 4/4s is ut…
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…
I'm a music lover. So it comes as no surprise that my kids dig their own crazy cool tunes. To be honest, I've shied away from kids' headphones because of real fears about child hearing loss. In fact, years of Walkman, Discman, iPod liste…
These boots were not made for walking. Or running, kicking, moshing, stomping, or reliving your misspent youth for that matter. These Doc Marten Boots are just 2" tall and actually, they're made for digital storage. These 2" tall black b…
Now that I'm getting back in the habit of carrying around an actual camera, as well as my trusty iPhone, I'm starting to eye all the fabulous dual-use camera bags out there that can double as purses too. Wow, they've come a long way, bab…
For those of you who have been lucky enough to snag a new iPad , we know a lot of you have been on the search for a new case for it. We know, because we keep getting all of your emails! Because there was just a slight increase in the iPa…
I am having trouble finding earphones for my 3 1/2 year old to use while traveling. We have a volume limiting set but they don't seem to stay on well and he complains that they hurt. Do you have other children's headphone ideas? -Meg Hi …

For those of you still working with computer mice, like I do from time to time, I love the idea of a mousepad that's not some freebie logo-plastered thingie. (Admit it, too many of of us still have those for some reason.) To me, beautify…
I'm definitely intrigued by the concept behind Tech Candy iphone and iPad case sets. They're kind of the best of both worlds--two interchangeable soft cases in different colors, plus a hard shell, plus nice style. Okay, so that's three w…
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…
Just when I thought my iPad couldn't get more useful, I discovered this handy new gadget that lets you scan photos, receipts, even your kids' artwork right to your iPad. Genius! The handy, compact iConvert Scanner allows you to save phot…
As much as I try to follow our own working parents' organizational tips , keeping the inevitable piles of paper clips, coins, and other junk continually takes over my desk can seem like an impossible task. That's why when I saw this cool…
There are certain colors that never go out of style. And with today being St. Patrick's Day, I'd like to call attention to one of my personal faves - green. Celadon, lime, spring, sea foam...whatever shade you prefer, the many sides of g…
Piquing Our Geek is our series of posts on items that are upcoming or so new, we haven't tried yet ourselves--but they sure look cool. I'm not sure if it's my age or all the super-loud concerts I frequented in my 20s, but I am constantly…
If you've just come to accept that your iPhone is now your main camera, at least there are plenty of options now to help make those pictures look a lot better. The Holga iPhone lens is a nifty little device that snaps right to your phone…
