Bodelin SeeEye2Eye Review

January 1, 2010 by Doug · View Comments 

When I saw the Se2E on Bodelin’s website, I instantly knew that I had to test it out, and see for my self what the hype was all about.

And I have to tell you, it did not disappoint. I’ve used it to video conference with my wife on my MacBook Pro, using it’s built in isight camera.

I have also used it as a teleprompter with the free web based prompting software, with my MacBook Pro iSight, and also with my Canon Vixia HF10 HD camcorder.

360 Live iPhone App Review

December 1, 2009 by Doug · View Comments 

iconAs someone who is an Xbox 360 gamer, and an iPhone owner. I have tried all of the apps that are supposed to manage your Xbox friends list. And I was quite disappointed with the offerings. Some required to you to manually enter your friends into the app. And one even has a supported app that requires you to enter your login credentials, and export your friends list into a txt file, and import it into the second app. That is until last week, when I found this little gem called 360 Live.

VeriCorder MiniMic Review

vericorder_micAs most podcasters can attest, you often find yourself in a situation where you need to, or have the opportunity to record an interview. And if you are blessed enough to have the funds to own a mobile recording solution well good for you. As a husband and father of 5, it’s quite often necessary for me to take the “budget” approach to fulfill my geeky adventures. And here is another example of that. Using a $20 microphone and my iPhone 3GS, appears to have saved me a few hundred on a mobile recording device.

So if you follow me on YouTube, you may have already seen this unboxing, and this test video for the MiniMic. If you haven’t, please give them a watch.

Review: Speck See Thru Satin Case For The Apple MacBook Line Up

October 19, 2009 by Doug · View Comments 

Quick review of the Speck See Thru Satin case for the Apple MacBook. Since I’ve had it exactly one month, I figured I would let peeps know I like, and recommend it.
Sorry in advance for the hum on the audio. Every now and again, I have a issue with my lav mic and the mono to stereo adapter I use. Didn’t catch it till I was done, and at midnight, it’s too late to re-record.

Review: Griffin PowerBlock Reserve

August 22, 2009 by Doug · View Comments 

griffin-powerblockLike many owners of today’s large screen smart phones, I often find myself needing somewhat of a boost for my iPhone 3GS.

After all, I am what you can consider a heavy smart phone user, and I can mostly get through the day with my battery being fully charged when I leave in the mornings, and also by utilizing my vehicle charger. But there are days and situations where I can’t get to my AC or vehicle chargers, and I need a little something-something to last till I get home.

Enter the Griffin PowerBlock Reserve. This battery and charger combo is just what I needed to “juice-up” when I can’t otherwise do so. In my testing, the PowerBlock Reserve battery comes with 45 minutes of charge, and depending on your usage, you can expect to see anywhere from 22%-50% charge to your iPhone.

One of my favorite features of this product is the slight elevation of the doc connector. This allows you to connect the battery to your iPhone with out needing to remove the your iPhone from it’s protective case. If you use one.

The PowerBlock Reserve comes with the battery and AC charger that has a USB port on the bottom of the unit so you can charge your iPhone/iPod with your charge/sync cable, and the external PowerBlock Reserve battery at the same time. And with a MSRP of $39.99, it’s a hard bargain to pass up.

Battery is available separately as a spare, and is interchangeable with PowerJolt Reserve 12 V DC Charger (sold separately, or together in the PowerDuo Reserve Bundle)

Design:★★★★★ 
Charge:★★★★½ 
Price:★★★★★ 
Overall:★★★★¾
