Pocket Power Plus

Image
Pocket Power Plus  is a book-sized device that weighs one pound and promises to run all of your electronic devices while also helping to jumpstart vehicles. Here’s our Pocket Power Plus review. Pocket Power Plus  calls itself a pocket-sized device that “lets you create your own personal “Micro-Grid””. The device weighs one pound and is priced at around $120. The device features 16 different types of adapters, which means you can charge just about any of your electronic adapters using it. There’s also jumper cables included with your purchase, which means you can jumpstart a vehicle if you’re away from a power source. You can also use them on USB-charged  tactical flashlights  which are rising in popularity. The product is endorsed by Glenn Beck, who has gone on record stating that “Every American family should have at least three Pocket Power Pluses.” Of course, Glenn Beck is the  same guy who believes that if you log onto a certain website , the American government will secr

Dji Spark Review (Drone)

Image
 DJI has been making waves in the drone market for some time now, arguably never more so than when it launched the  Mavic Pro  last year. It is a drone packed with all the smartest sensors and tech, but also folds so small it can fit in your backpack. This latest drone [ Dji Spark ] essentially looks like a much smaller version of the  Mavic Pro and, somehow, has many of the same technologies built in.  Related; " DJI Mavic Pro review: The Best Drone Or Just a Joke! " The company describes the quadcopter as a lifestyle accessory that you can take with you anywhere. And, with it weighing just 300 grams, it won't be a burden, regardless of how you carry it. What's more, when it launches from your hand, it automatically enters Gesture Mode, so you can control it with hand gestures.  It’s no joke that the DJI Spark is as small as a can of soda. Measuring in at a scant 143 x 143 x 55mm and 300 grams (10.6 ounces), the mini drone is something you can easily stuff i

So many cables. For the longest time I believed it was witchcraft that made the PlayStation VR work. Having taken a boxed one home and set it up, I’ve discovered the truth: it’s all about cables. Lots and lots and lots of cables. And then some more ca

Yolk's Solar Paper

Image
Yolk's Solar Paper can have huge appeal to those who appreciate significant functionality in a compact form – not unlike how modern smartphone size belies its overall capability. As thin as a slim-cased "phablet" and a mere two fingers taller and half a finger wider, Solar Paper is about as portable as you can get without much sacrifice. Many similarly-powered solar panels fold up to the size of a sheet of paper, but tend to be twice as thick as a standard tablet. Yolk's version measures 19 x 9 x 1.1 cm (7.5 x 3.5 x 0.4 in) at a scant 170 g (6 oz). So if you prefer gadgets that are lightweight and pocket-friendly, Solar Paper certainly makes an excellent choice. The base unit features an LCD screen and dual USB ports mounted at the top of the printed circuit board. The matte black solar cells are gridded by gold accents, all of it left uncovered from any glass, plastic, or laminate. For those into subdued, classy appearances, Solar Paper does it quite nicely.

Image
While Apple, Fitbit and Xiaomi have ensured that smartwatches and  fitness trackers  create the most buzz in the wearable tech space,  smart jewellery  is quietly building up a solid following by offering a more fashionable and discreet alternative for both women and men.

Nike Air Mag Review

Image
Ever since  Back to the Future Part II  came out and tickled my fanciful soul with the  Nike Air Mag , I've been waiting to get my hands on a pair. They're finally real and oh my god they're so dreaaamy. If there was  one  disappointment about  Nike's awesome  Back to the Future II  Air Mag , it's that the shoes didn't have Marty's power laces (and that they only made 1,500 and neither you nor I own a pair). But Nike designer  Tinker Hatfield says  that's about to change—power laces are coming in 2015. The future is here! The upper of the shoe is made of reinforced mesh. The outer sole is lined with LED panels that'll light up just like all futuristic shoes imagined in the 80's should (we're not talking corny LA Gear shoes here, people). The Air Mag is rechargeable and will stay lit for 5 hours. There's also a electroluminescent Nike logo in the strap. It's pretty much the exact replica of the pair of shoes Marty McFly famously wor
