Ever dropped your phone or e-reader? You are in an elite club if you have not. Personally, I would have to say JFK airport was my worst. I was, typing on the escalator when imbalance took over and wham! There went the smartphone, tumbling down the escalator like a slinky. Yes, expletives followed. Face it, technology is cool but we have our klutzy tendencies. FLYGRIP is a device that we should all check out to help preserve our devices. FLYGRIP's basic principle is to extend your reach while helping secure your phone or e-reader at the same time. A spring loaded clip securely adheres to your device, or case. It leaves ample room to comfortably insert a couple fingers. So when reaching for your keyboard on your phone you get extra reach for your thumb. Or enough reach to easily navigate your e-reader. Not to mention the massive increase in confidence, knowing that your device won't go tumbling. And use FLYGRIP as a landscape or portrait stand when you need both hands. Eight colors are available too so you can coordinate your look. For $29.99, FLYGRIP provides peace of mind against "the drops." Props to thenextweb.com for the product review.

This mini wooden desk lamp will come with its own fair share of casters for you to put together yourself, and there is no need to cut anything or hammer a nail or two here and there, hence greatly reducing the chances of experiencing an accident that would require you to rush yourself to the nearest first aid counter. The DIY Classic Desk Lamp measures around 24 inches in height, and will be accompanied by a 3 foot long extension cord. Now, to make sure you have enough back up bulbs just in case Murphy decides to strike…  [ DIY Classic Desk Lamp copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Scosche boomSTREAM wireless Bluetooth speaker Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:30 AM PDT
Now here is a candidate for a wireless speaker for you to consider – the Scosche boomSTREAM wireless Bluetooth speaker which is said to come with a wireless range of 33 feet like all good Bluetooth-enabled devices should come with, making it ideal for action regardless of where you are – at home, in your backyard while you hold a BBQ session, at the dorm with the rest of your mates, or even at the office when you want to chill out. Let us take a closer look at what the Scosche boomSTREAM wireless Bluetooth speaker is able to deliver right after the jump. This particular wireless media speaker will play nice with Bluetooth 2.1 enabled devices which run on either the iOS or Android operating system, respectively. It is not only compact, making it lightweight in the process, hence placing the boomSTREAM in a very strategic location where it is ideal for streaming music throughout the home, regardless of where you are. Obviously, you will need to pay some attention to the range which you are working with, not to mention having to take into consideration the kind of obstacles such as concrete walls that might result in lowering the range by some bit. Kas Alves, Executive VP Scosche Industries, said, "With the overwhelming success of our boomCAN portable speaker, we knew we had to offer a wireless option. Like its wired little brother, boomSTREAM delivers big sound in a compact package." Just what kind of audio action does the Scosche boomsTREAM offer right out of the box? We are looking at dual 40mm drivers and a down-firing passive subwoofer which is said to be able to deliver an enhanced bass response while producing an excellent listening experience. Not only that, to make sure you get to enjoy hours of music – up to 8 on a full charge in fact, there is a 1200 mA lithium polymer rechargeable battery. Heck, you can even use the Scosche boomSTREAM to juice up a smartphone thanks to the USB charging port. It will not lack in terms of aesthetics either, as the Scosche boomSTREAM will come with a brushed aluminum surface, in addition to an intricate speaker covering that makes it very pleasant to look at regardless of where you place it. The presence of a built-in microphone will be able to transform the boomSTREAM into an enhanced speakerphone right there and then. The asking price for this little wireless speaker that could? $99.99 a pop. [ Scosche boomSTREAM wireless Bluetooth speaker copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| General Imaging dives into pico projector market with the ipico Posted: 09 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT
The ipico is said to be unique, affordable and highly portable, where it will be able to let you take sharing to a whole new level, targeting not those who are wearing stiff suits, but rather, to cater for a generation of social media fanatics. Let us take a closer look at what the ipico handheld projector is capable of delivering in terms of specifications right after the jump. There is one aspect about the ipico that clearly makes it stand out from the rest of the crowd – it is not only sleek looking, but it also comes with a patented pop-up connector which is capable of transforming your iPhone or iPod touch into an actual social media device. The ipico will in no way burn a huge hole in your pocket, as it has been affordably priced so that you can easily share videos, photos and movies in real time while having the option to project them to a display area of up to 50″ in size. Just like any other self-respecting projection device, having it beam onto a flat, white surface would work best. Specially manufactured to play nice with the iPhone and iPod touch, the ipico does not need any cables whatsoever. Instead, all you need to do is pop up the built-in connector on the ipico, slide it directly into your iPhone or iPod touch, make a careful focus on just about any surface, and it will be able to instantly project your multimedia content to the rest of the world. No longer do you need to wait for your turn to see what’s going on over at your friend’s iPhone display, as the ipico has a wide viewing angle of up to 178 degrees, now how about that? It is also portable enough to carry with you everywhere, as it tips the scales at a mere 3.35 ounces, measuring roughly two-thirds the width of an iPhone and being slightly over half an inch thick. You might want to reward yourself this holiday season with the white ipico handheld projector as it retails for just $129.99 a pop, and comes with a built-in, rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and USB charging cable. The compatibility list reads as such – iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

The AT-AT, the memorable mechanical beasts of the Empire in Star Wars are a sight to behold. I still think they are the coolest bit of technology used in attempts to squash the Rebels. Now you can take the Empire's technology with you on your shoulder. Thinkgeek.com called in a favor to the company that made the AT-AT Plush Backpack and is offering an exclusive AT-AT Plush Utility Bag for just $39.99. It contains 2 pockets – one in the head for pens and small stuff and a bigger one for books, laser guns or what not. Every Snowtrooper you meet will want one! It is also perfect for the young Star Wars fan in your home. And just in time for back to school so they can intimidate the Rebel forces they encounter.

Working at the desk is the calling for many of us, although whether this ‘calling’ is intentional or otherwise, that I shall leave it to you to decide. Needless to say, any decent work desk will need an accompanying lamp, just in case you decide to burn the proverbial midnight oil. Who uses oil lamps anymore these days in a modern air conditioned office? This is where the 
All right, once I am done with the $29.99 Satechi Swift Bluetooth Speaker, I do not think I will be touching on Bluetooth speakers for quite some time in the future unless they are really outstanding devices in their own right. After all, when you’ve seen one of them, you have more or less seen the rest. What makes the 
How many of you out there love living out a lifestyle that is free from demands as well as unnecessary shackles? This is what we are talking about when it comes to a wireless world, and we already have had wireless home phones for the longest time already, with wireless printers and scanners starting to take their place in homes and offices everywhere, not to mention having wireless speakers being strategically placed around the room so that you are able to hear just what the artist wants you to hear – at least, as close as possible. All this without running the risk of a wayward kid zipping around the home and tripping over some cables.
When it comes to the world of pico projectors, there are not too many notable players in the market. I remember when 3M came out with their version a couple of years ago – that was functional enough, but was the world ready for such a peripheral? It seems that when you fast forward to today, most folks do not even carry around a pico projector as there does not seem to be a real need in the business and corporate worlds. Well, there is always room for improvement, and this is where General Imaging jumps right into the picture with their handheld pico projector known as the ipico.
