Between docking stations and cables it seems most rooms in the house have a way to charge idevices. But that is the problem – they are in different rooms! All those chargers and yet we STILL find ourselves saying 'my pad is at 2% and my phone isn't done charging'. Why should we have to change rooms or choose which device should charge? Kanex® – makers of i-connectivity accessories – thinks that we should not have to choose which device to charge. Their high powered DoubleUp gadget provides dual charging. But the big difference between it and others dual chargers out there? A full 2.1 amps per port with 21W. To the non-engineers out there (like me) that means you can charge two iPads at once – even the newer generation ‘power demanding’ iPads. Basically, DoubleUp provides more power than two individual chargers. The green indicator will let you know when you are full of juice.  Seems pretty practical, especially for just $39.99 on Kanex website or Amazon. The CES folks think good things too and nominated DoubleUp as an innovations honoree in the portable power category of the 2013 Design and Engineering awards. So end the 'room shuffle' or tough decision about what to charge. Charge them both at the same time.

Books would essentially come alive, enabling a more virtual experience.  Wonderbook: Book of Spells, the first experience is now available. Developed in conjunction with J.K. Rowling, Book of Spells will take your amateur wizards through a world of spells and let them truly learn and experience. Packaged with the first Wonderbook is the game software and the Wonderbook peripheral. Then just pair it with an PlayStation Eye Camera and Move (motion controller) to bring the book to life. Pick up Wonderbook: Book of Spells on Amazon.com for $39.96 and let the Potter fans in your house experience and learn in an entirely different way.

Just what is the Adapt? For starters, all you need to do is clip the lightweight device to your jeans or just about anywhere else and you can then enjoy Bluetooth technology right there and then with your audio products. Not only that, the Adapt comes across as a colorful plug and play device which will definitely not go up against your fashion sense, and it will effortlessly synchronize with a compatible device while delivering hours of audio playtime. You can more or less say that there is an unlimited number of products that the Adapt will play nice with, ranging from headphones to speakers and home theater systems. Using the Adapt, these products will become wireless and controlled directly from the Adapt. As for the Adapt itself, it comes with an integrated microphone so that the headphones or earbuds sans an inline mic will be more than ready to handle your calls in a crystal clear manner – hands-free, of course. With Adapt, you can kiss goodbye to the days where you remain tethered to your mobile device, and all your corded accessories can be put up on eBay. Since it comes in such a wide range of colors, it should not be too difficult to find a particular shade that will fit your style and device, and thanks to its built-in li-Polymer rechargeable battery, you can enjoy wireless connectivity for hours on end. Whenever the Adapt starts to run low on juice, charging it up is a snap, thanks to the included micro USB charger. If you are interested, you can pick up the Adapt from Outdoor Tech for $39.95 a pop, where it will come in black, pink and blue shades.

Touted to be the ultimate smartphone with a full HD 1080p display, the HTC Droid DNA will be available as a Verizon Wireless exclusive, and will hit retail stores nationwide from November 21st onward. Sporting a true 1080p HD Super LCD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection, we are talking about a stunning 440 pixels per inch (PPI) on a 5-inch display – definitely unprecedented for a smartphone, where you get maximum pixel clarity available on such a mobile device. Specially designed to accentuate the incredible display, the deep black, soft-touch back remains understated, while there is a metallic red camera bezel alongside a red microgrill pattern of the sidewalls. Underneath the hood lies a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core 1.5GHz processor, HTC Sense 4+, Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, 2GB RAM, LTE connectivity, and an 8-megapixel f/2.0 28mm wide-angle lens with 5-level automatic flash, backside illuminated sensor (BSI), and superfast autofocus. In front, there is a best-in-class 2.1-megapixel, f/2.0, 88-degree, ultra-wide angle, front-facing camera. Not only that, the HTC Droid DNA also comes with a unique, 2.55-volt, built-in headset amplifier as well as dedicated amp for the external rear-speaker, which will help boost the audio signal to deliver crystal clear sound while your ears experience less distortion, never mind if you are listening to your favorite tunes at maximum, ear-splitting volume. The merging of amplified hardware and the rich, authentic, studio-quality sound of Beats Audio enables music to be heard the way the artist intended. Of course, if you were to play games or watch video too, it would sound enhanced.

Well, Thinkgeek might have something just for you – the $29.99 Smartphone Controlled Desk Pet Carbot. It will play nice with the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices, boasting a quartet of play modes and will juice up via USB – how is that for unprecedented convenience?
