Last year Judie reviewed JustMobile’s AluPen. She liked it a lot. Then, last spring, Just Mobile introduced a stand for the AluPen. The AluCube was just that, an aluminum cube that serves as a perfect stand for the AluPen. To my mind it didn’t make all that much sense to buy a separate stand for [...]

Tablet Accessory Review: Adonit Jot and Jot Pro Stylus
When Steve Jobs introduced the iPad the tagline might well have been, “Stylus? Stylus? We don’t need no stink in’ stylus.” Yes, Apple’s goal with the iPad was a truly touch-friendly tablet. For the most part, they have succeeded. Still, there ARE times when you want to use a stylus and, thankfully, there are a [...]
Waterfield Unveils Their New Tablet Ultimate SleeveCase
As much as I have been disappointed with the Blackberry Playbook, HTC Flyer and other 7″ tablets I have tried I still love the size. They are easier to carry and hold than their larger cousins. That alone makes them worth considering if you are in the market for a tablet this fall. If you [...]
iPad Accessory Review: Vogel’s RingO Universal iPad 2 Mounting System
A few months ago we took a look at Vogel’s RingO system for the iPad 1. The accessory is a combination case/stand for the iPad that extends the utility of the iPad by offering various “modules” like a wall holder or car headrest bracket. It appeared toward the end of the original iPad’s “run” but with [...]
Tablet Accessory Review and Giveaway: The Stump Stand; Sometimes Simplicity Is Best
Sometimes the simplest accessories are the best accessories. That’s right, something it doesn’t need to be complicated for it to be remarkably useful. That’s the case with this new tablet/eReader stand The Stump. The Stump is what it claims to be – it is a stump of rubber. It looks like a tree trunk that’s been [...]

BlackBerry Playbook Case Review: Pop! for BlackBerry PlayBook
I cannot help but feel a bit bad for the BlackBerry PlayBook. After all, the device has a great form factor, excellent build quality, a responsive touchscreen, and two things that are lacking on most tablets: both the front and rear facing cameras are quite good and the forward facing stereo speakers don’t sound half [...]
iPad Accessory Review: Vogel’s RingO Universal iPad Mounting System
I am a big fan of the combination iPad case/stands that began appearing towards the end of the original iPad’s production run. This is especially true for those case/stands that are actually modular systems that extend the ways and situations where you can use the iPad. And although the original iPad is no longer being [...]

Not only does the company continue to roll our great looking, super-userful cases for a wide range of gadgets but they are now one of ten companies selected for RIM’s “Built for BlackBerry” program. The program helps ensure that accessories for RIM’s products will be of [...]
iPad Accessory Review: Breffo SpiderpodiumTablet
Anyone with a tablet has probably learned that it can be somewhat of an awkward device to use when not in an easy to hold position. It is not a problem while sitting on the couch or at a desk, but what about when cooking or laying in bed, or riding in a car — [...]

Control Your Tablet Fingerprint Problems with Cloth Addiction
I love my iPad. I mean, I really love it–I take it practically everywhere with me, and I use it for every function I can think of–reading books, watching movies and TV shows, checking my email, looking at my Twitter feed, playing games, (sometimes) doing posts for this very site . . . pretty much [...]
iMainGo Portable Speaker Systems More Than Just Portable
Portable Sound Labsis the company behind iMainGo, a portable external speaker kit for your portable device such as an iPhone or touch. They sent me a test unit quite some time ago ,and somehow it made its way into the back of the closet. Since that time they have released an updated iMainGo 2 and [...]
CES 2011- Livescribe Smartpens Strike the Right Note
The most wasteful time Judie and I spent at CES was the hour and a half we had at the Casio Press Conference. They really had nothing of substance to show us yet they made it out to be a huge deal.Yes, it wasted our time but, more than that, the hyperbole they used in [...]
Comin’ Soon: New Samsung Tab Accessories from iLuv
While I may not agree with the press release below that “the tablet market is exploding”, there’s no question that we’re in for a big expansion of it. My guess is, 2011 will be “the year of the tablet.” (Of course, I’ve been wrong before.) In any event, one of the first competitors in the [...]
