Pet Pedometer for your lazy pooch

Posted: 18 Jul 2012 06:30 AM PDT

I don’t know about you, but for the most of us who own dogs, we are supposed to bring them out for walks every single day, as the right kind of exercise will help them mellow down, eliminating destructive behaviours in the process. Of course, there are some instances when both owner and pet are not exactly living out the most active of lifestyles, which is why it is always good to count the number of steps that your four legged friend and you take each day. The $9.99 Pet Pedometer will help get the job done for you, where it can be clipped in a cinch over your dog’s collar.

All it takes is a press press of a button, and it will be able to measure your dog’s number of strides while displaying the steps accurately – up to 99,999 steps, in fact. Of course, you can also bring this on long hiking trips and compare your steps to your pup’s as well. It is powered by a single button-cell battery, hopefully it will be waterproof and tough enough to withstand your everyday rough and tumble lifestyle.

TidyTilt is not a mere mount

Posted: 18 Jul 2012 06:00 AM PDT

There are dime a dozen of iPhone accessories out there, and I am pretty much sure that you as an owner of the iPhone, you do have at least a single accessory in your collection. If you have not yet done so, perhaps you might want to reconsider your stance and settle for one – and if you have to pick just one, then you might want to consider getting the £23.99 TidyTilt which is said to come in black, blue, green, grey and pink colors.

For starters, the TidyTilt is not a solitary mount, as when you apply the magnetic strip to the back of your iPhone, it will become a totally different beast with the TidyTilt in tow. It will offer cord management as well – ideal for those who tend to go to sleep with their iPhone still on, only to find out that when they wake up, they are strangled by their own cord – but not so with the TidyTilt. It also doubles up as a sleek and simple fold-out stand, thanks to its magnetic frame and a handy, portable cable wrapping function.

Ancestry by DNA – Finally Answers the Question, Where do I Come From?

Posted: 18 Jul 2012 05:57 AM PDT

Everyone has a unique family history, but some folks seem to know more about who and where they come from and others would like to know more, but there isn’t really anyone left to ask. I have found that even the people who have a firm grasp on their family story recognize that the story always ends somewhere, obviously well before the actual beginning. Where do we all really come from? Who were our ancestors? I only know about my great-great grandmother, who came before her? at least tell me where she came from…

Well, it probably won’t give you all the answers, but it’s an interesting start, check out Ancestry by DNA offering unique DNA tests that can answer some questions about your percentages of European, Indigenous American, Sub-Saharan African or East Asian ancestry. So if you’re wondering where your real roots lie, this may be the test for you… and you might be very surprised at what you find.

Also offered is Lineage DNA testing, this test will allow you to discover your direct ancestors geographic origins. You can trace maternal, paternal, or both lineages and learn about the migration routes your ancient family traveled, on their way to making history, and ultimately, making YOU.

The Ancestry kits are mailed to you directly and contain a DNA collection kit, a certificate that is suitable for framing, and a comprehensive guide explaining your results. The Lineage kits contain the collection kit and a full color lineage certificate listing your haplogroup (groups that share a common ancestor) along with a description booklet and the guide.

Optrix XD Sport offers you a rugged and waterproof iPhone case

Posted: 18 Jul 2012 05:30 AM PDT

One must agree that the iPhone has one of the better built-in cameras among smartphones out there, although fans of the Samsung Galaxy S3 might beg to differ, not to mention the HTC One X which is said to offer the ability to shoot a still shot while you are recording video simultaneously. Still, if you are not going to change your iPhone to a different handset anytime soon and yet want to pursue shooting a better quality video under more trying circumstances, you can always give the Optrix XD Sport a go.

The name Optrix might sound familiar to many, as they are the designer of action sports video cases, and to see them make the foray into the world of smartphones is definitely something. The Optrix XD Sport can be touted to be the first rugged, waterproof iPhone case which was specially designed to change your iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod touch into a wide-angle action video camera. Let us learn more about the Optrix XD Sport in the extended post, shall we not?

For starters, the XD Sport is said to be able to merge the proprietary Optrix design with a 175° wide angle aluminum and glass lens, offering sports enthusiasts the ability to shoot, edit and share Full HD resolution videos. It is said to be perfect for extreme sports including mountain biking, skateboarding, skiing or motocross, where the Optrix XD Sport can be lumped under the military grade category and it will conform to military spec MIL-STD-810F.

John Willenborg, founder of Optrix, said, "The XD Sport takes capturing adventures to another level, giving extreme sports enthusiasts an affordable option to other equipment on the market. More pictures and videos are captured using cell phones than any other devices and Optrix enhances it by making their devices splash, spill, bump and drop proof."

You can expect the Optrix XD Sport to arrive with a range of accessories, ranging from a curved and flat mount to being able to securely adhere to just about any surface. There is also a quick release latch that makes adjusting angles a snap, thanks to to a rubberized sled which will offer protection for your handset while doubling up as a case.

Grace Digital Matchstick targets Amazon’s tablet

Posted: 18 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT

The world of tablets can be said to be divided into two camps – one that is powered by the iOS operating system from Apple, while the other will run on the Android operating system from Google. However, there is a niche market which is slightly different – those that make up the Nooks and the Amazons out there. Here we are with a rare moment when there is an accessory which was released just for the Amazon’s 7″ tablet. Calling it the MatchStick, this Grace Digital offering will throw in robust stereo sound to Netflix, Pandora Internet radio, audio books as well as the rest of the multimedia capabilities that the Kindle Fire is able to offer.

Basically, the Grace Digital MatchStick speaker dock for the Kindle Fire is their latest creation which is said to offer millions of Kindle Fire users with a device-specific dock specially for their Amazon tablet. It is available over at Amazon.com at the moment, and it will begin to ship as soon as you place your order.

It its previous life, the MatchStick speaker dock was known as the FireDock, and it was specially engineered for Amazon's Kindle Fire. The MatchStick will come with the unique USB port, headphone jack and power button. All of those are located right at the bottom of the tablet for easy and convenient access. It must be said that the majority of universal 3.5mm speaker docks will not charge devices while in use, but the MatchStick speaker dock for Kindle Fire does not follow convention, charging while on AC power, in addition to the optional (which is sold separately) lithium-ion battery-pack that paves the way for maximum portability.

It was specially and exclusively sized for the Kindle Fire only, where the rotating cradle is capable of holding the 7″ tablet in a secure manner, while accommodating horizontal and vertical viewing angles.
