Mar 13, 2013 09:00 am | Edwin Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub When it comes to mobile accessories, you know that you can rely on certain names to deliver some of the more interesting ones out there, and Satechi would definitely rank high on my list. After all, DIY stores tend to do very well these days as folks find it better to have a closer and more emotional attachment to one's home, especially when it comes to modifying it on their own, and I guess the same can also be said for your notebook or desktop computer, where you might never know just when you need that particular accessory to help you out of a particularly tight spot. For instance, a USB hub would come in handy for modern Ultrabooks, as these tend to be extremely stingy in the number of USB ports available, normally limited to just 2, or 3, tops. The Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub does sound like a treat then, does it not? Coming in a classic piano black color, the Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub has been described to be a useful, multipurpose Mac or PC accessory that enables users to connect a wide array of devices, where among them include (but are not limited to) digital cameras, printers, external hard drives, keyboards, flash drives, smartphones and tablets, all in a simple and easy solution. The Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub comes in a sleek and linear design, paving the way for easy cable management, as it takes up extremely little desk space, too. Since it sports plug and play connectivity, the 10-Port USB Hub and its 9 USB 3.0 ports will play nice with the latest USB-based devices, while carrying a solitary 2.1 Amp charging port that is located on the right hand side of the hub, making it more than suitable to juice up power hungry but depleted iPads and other Android-powered tablets. The Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub is currently going for $49.99 a pop.

You might want to fire up Google and start to check out the kind of terminologies that truckers use as you continue to carry conversations with the Walkie-Talkie Cell Phone Handset alongside the other person at the other end. The Walkie-Talkie Cell Phone Handset will come with adjustable volume to keep up with the times, a push button that enables you to talk only when you want to, as well as a belt clip to make sure that it remains in place where it should be. Push the top button and you will pick up any incoming calls, and push it again to hang up. Alternatively, you can also press the side button to carry out a conversation, while roll the side adjust the volume level. The Walkie-Talkie Cell Phone Handset is powered by a couple of AAA batteries and will plug into your handset via a 3.5mm headphone jack. Sorry, no Bluetooth connectivity here.

Though technology moves fast these days, some things – like basketball practice – don't feel any benefit. Sure you can watch video tape. But that is about as exciting as technology gets with hoops practice. And that is the exact reason the company Infomotion Sports went to the drawing board. Now on Kickstarter, their 94Fifty basketball brings technology to the game. Included in each ball is a sensor backed with Texas Instruments technology. Using Bluetooth and one or more of their four (Workout, QuickTraning, Compete and Challenge)  iOS or Android apps the ball handler, coach or any other observer can garner a number of details all of which can help improve the players ball handling, dribbling and more. Data captured from the ball includes dribble force, backspin, shot arc plus shot speed and consistency. If you are a righty working on your lefty skills easily understand how differently you dribble with each. When your buddy says your shot is flat now you can tell exactly how flat it is. You get the point. As do some Division I men's and women's teams and a couple foreign professional teams who are using the system. Being registered online of course you can also challenge other users to competitions too. Get on board for a few more weeks on Kickstarter. For $195 get a ball, all apps, a 60 day trial of their online analysis tool. Or if you prefer the retail route, sign up on their site ($295 retail) for shipment this Fall. Not a hoopster? Anticipate other types of balls from them as their popularity grows. The video on their fundraising page explains much more, but it is hard to believe that knowing more about your game won't help you improve.

Well, if you have always wanted to pick up a scrubber of your own, look no further than the $89.95 Handheld Rechargeable Power Scrubber, which has been touted to thoroughly clean and polish without any need for elbow grease, chemicals, or heck, to be held back by a restrictive electrical cord. This is a Hammacher Schlemmer exclusive, where the Handheld Rechargeable Power Scrubber itself will be accompanied by reusable, interchangeable cleaning pads that will differ one from another in terms of coarseness, allowing it to handle a variety of situations, ranging from heavy-duty grime on a grill, to wiping off scuffs from a tile floor, or perhaps even to gently polish that glass table of yours without introducing an entire family of scratches. The palm-sized scrubber will work quietly, as it will not produce unpleasant vibrations or noise, and thanks to its iron-shaped head and cordless operation, it will be a snap to use the Handheld Rechargeable Power Scrubber in tight corners. A full charge offers 30 minutes of scrubbing. [ Handheld Rechargeable Power Scrubber copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Mar 13, 2013 07:30 am | Alison Google Glass: The Social Reality? What will life be like with Google Glass and other similar devices in the future? If your husband is like mine then you already know when he has zoned out of the conversation and into his browser or what not. <<sigh>> Will that get worse when I can’t see him maneuvering around his device?  Same thing with those boring work meetings when the emails are coming in and you dread returning to your desk. But oh if you could only spend a couple minutes sifting through emails during the meeting. (I swear I’ll keep listening!)  Seattle comedian Dartanian London thinks that the world of dating will experience a revolution of sorts. Though will it all be good?   [ Google Glass: The Social Reality? copyright by Coolest Gadgets ] Read More Mar 13, 2013 05:30 am | Edwin Gasket V8 iPhone 5 case from id America When it comes to cases for your spanking new iPhone 5, it is safe to say that you are spoilt for choice. Absolutely. After all, there are way too many iPhone case manufacturers out there, and the sheer number of case models that roll off their production lines are more than one can care to count. However, once in a while, an iPhone 5 case design would clearly make heads turn, as with what id America did with their latest beauty of an iPhone 5 case that they have called the Gasket V8. Anyone worth their salt if they want to be deemed as a motorhead would definitely know what a gasket is, and if you happen to have a great love for all things Apple as well as vehicles, especially when it comes to cars, then you know for sure that the Gasket V8 is a celebration of excellence, and not one of mediocrity. id America's Gasket V8, as its name implies, was Inspired by the shape of a head gasket on a performance V8 engine, where it was made using aircraft aluminum and has been specially molded to provide a form fitting structure for your precious iPhone 5. Aircraft aluminum, now that kind of material seems to be getting more and more popular these days, and I suppose that is with good reason, too. You cannot quite pick up the Gasket V8 case at the moment just yet though, as it will be made available only on this coming March 20th. The Gasket V8 is said to offer optimal comfort and style for the iPhone 5, where it boasts of an interlaced design coupled with smooth, rounded edges that offer additional grip so that it is a whole lot easier to tote around. With its slim, sleek design, you will not have any issues accessing any of the ports, buttons and switches. You can choose from Titanium Gray, Vintage Gold, Aluminum Silver, Rally Blue, Brilliant Red, and Forest Green colors, at $29.95 a pop.
