Hitcase Pro for iPhone 5

There are phone cases, and then there are phone cases. Since this is an extremely lucrative industry, you know for sure that competition among case manufacturers are tough, but out of the entire pile, there is sure to be a few notable products that will rise to the occasion, and I must say that after reading up on the Hitcase Pro for iPhone 5, this does seem to be a particularly good candidate for those who want not only decent protection for your shiny new iPhone 5, but also has a penchant for photography with Apple's smartphone. It is said that the Hitcase Pro for iPhone 5 is not only tougher and slimmer, but it is also capable of tripling your iPhone camera's field of view, helping to transform your phone into the ultimate waterproof, mountable POV camera which allows you to upload and share videos from your latest adventures instantaneously.

Hitcase, after all, is an old hand when it comes to churning out rugged sports activity products for the iPhone range, and the Hitcase Pro for iPhone 5 will no doubt prove itself by being waterproof, and works up to 33 feet underwater. The Hitcase Pro boasts of a new 170-degree custom lens which is capable of delivering sharper and better-saturated photos as well as videos, and will target both outdoor and action sports enthusiasts who also have a penchant for sharing their interesting adventures with the rest of their mates.

The Hitcase Pro will now pair itself up with the updated Vidometer 2.0, which so happens to be a free app which will allow you to select custom overlays whenever you record your speed, altitude, G-Force and other data on top of your videos, followed by making sure the rest of the world knows of these details after you upload them to Facebook or YouTube.

The Hitcase Pro's ShockSeal ensures that water and dust will have no way inside, where it sports a patent pending H-seal design which delivers an extra barrier over standard single-seal, O-ring cases. Each $129.99 purchase will be accompanied by a GoPro Compatible Railslide Mount, a Tripod TiltR, a StickR Mount, a Wrist Strap, an additional Port Plug, and a Quick Start Guide.

HTC First to arrive on AT&T

There is a new smartphone in town, and although this particular model that is known as the HTC First is not a flagship device, it still managed to capture the attention of the whole world, at least for a few minutes, where it was announced to be the inaugural handset to come with Facebook Home, a new way of using the social network app on your Android-powered smartphone that intends to keep you connected in an even friendlier manner than ever before. The HTC First will be made available as an AT&T exclusive, where and is currently the only smartphone that was designed around Facebook Home, instead of it being the other way around as with most smartphones these days.

First of all, just what is Facebook Home? Well, Facebook Home has touted to be the first mobile experience in the industry which was designed to give you your friends' latest updates right there and then on your home screen, in addition to checking out messages that will bug you to attend to them regardless of what you are doing at that moment. I guess you can say that this is the ultimate Facebook device, if you cannot get enough of the social network regardless of where you are.

The HTC First can be yours as long as you place a pre-order today for $99.99 a pop, where that will include a two-year commitment, and it will arrive in AT&T stores as well as made online from April 12th onwards. Wait a minute here, what else do we know about the hardware concerning the HTC First? Since it runs on AT&T 4G LTE, you can be assured that LTE connectivity has been thrown into the mix, and there is a quartet of colors to choose from, namely black, white, red and pale blue. The HTC First will come in a thin form factor, looks modern and seamless with soft edges that help draw your attention to the updates from friends and family. In front lies a 4.3-inch glass display, with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice. There is a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor to keep things chugging along, too.

Air Mail Launcher

Ah, there is nothing quite like receiving snail mail in your inbox, and I am quite sure that the younger generation who have never received a hand-written letter at all in their lives would be wondering what kind of thrill there is in waiting for a piece of correspondence to arrive in paper, where one still has to go through the motions of archiving it properly afterwards? Well, I guess some things simply cannot be explained in words, but has to be experienced for oneself, and receiving snail mail is one of them. Remember those air mail letters in the past, with the words "Par Avion" printed on them?

Well, you can have a little bit of "Air Mail" fun at your office, especially with the $12.99 Air Mail Launcher. It basically allows you to send important messages within a reasonable range, all without having to get a sore throat by shouting, and neither do you have to pick up the telephone and call the extension on the other line, but rather, using the Air Mail Launcher. This set of mail themed notes will remain on a stand with a launcher on it, and you can write what you want your recipient to read, before sending it off flying as a catapult – within a 15 feet range, of course. It will take some time to perfect your aim as well as accuracy, but at least it comes with 500 sheets for you to get started right out of the box.

Pocket DJ Mixer

Have beats, will travel, or so this seems to be the general direction where one is headed to with the $100 Pocket DJ Mixer. I suppose if you have a penchant for good music, and love nothing better than to rock it out on your own no matter where you are, then the Pocket DJ Mixer does sound as though it will be able to fit you to a T. Basically, all you need is an iPod, and you will be able to set up shop as a portable party maker. Of course, assuming you are not one of the adoring Apple millions who own an iPod, the Pocket DJ Mixer will still play nice with your device that has MP3 playback capability, by hooking it up to the device's headphone jack.

The Pocket DJ Mixer will be different from those massive traditional mixing boards, as this is one pocket-friendly mixer, not only in terms of size, but in price as well. Since it is all too easy to bring along with you wherever you go, there does not seem to be any reason not to tote this around with you wherever you go. You will find it fun to bust out your pocket DJ skills regardless of the time at any of your friends’ fĂȘtes, and assuming you have the relevant skills to go along with it, you should find invitations flying your way left, right and center in due time.

Hamilton Beach's New "Mc" Breakfast Maker

 

There are a few things in my life that are a given, if there is chocolate in front of me, I will eat it, no exercise of any kind is fun, and anything that happens before 10 in the morning probably isn’t worth having to set the alarm for. However, I have a 10 year old that still requires a good breakfast and a ride to school at *gasp*  six-thirty in the morning! Now while I’ve gotten pretty good at driving in my sleep, making breakfast? Not so much.

Well the folks over at Hamilton Beach have the answer to my one of my problems with their new electric Breakfast Sandwich Maker. This nifty little countertop delight makes breakfast making quick and easy. Using your own fresh ingredients, you can whip up your own “Mc” specialties using any combination of eggs, meat, veggies and cheeses with English muffins, biscuits or small bagels and Voila! You have a sandwich that practically builds itself.

All of the Breakfast Sandwich Maker’s removable parts are dishwasher safe, and the cooking surfaces are covered with a durable, nonstick coating. It has a small footprint, preserving some of your valuable countertop real estate, and it’s very simple to learn, so even a child could do it. Hmm… I wonder if 10 years old is too young to make breakfast, while mom gets an extra 10 minutes of sleep? We’ll have to see. The Breakfast Maker comes with some quick and easy recipes to get you started. So if you need a healthy alternative to the drive-thru breakfast, the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Maker may be for you. Get yours today at amazon.com for only around 29 bucks! Me? I’m teaching the kid… and hitting the snooze bar!

SVS Ultra Bookshelf Speakers

Here we are with something that you might want to consider when it comes to upgrading your living room – a decent pair of speakers, which will definitely outdo whatever Hi-Fi system that you purchased in the past. There should be nothing quite like a great pair of speakers, and this is where the Ultra Bookshelf Speakers from SVS come in handy, with SVS being a worldwide leader in high-performance home audio products.

As you can see for yourself in the image above, the Ultra Bookshelf Speakers come handsomely styled, complete with a swept back profile as well as striking edge treatments, where it draws design cues from the flagship Ultra Tower speaker while sporting sonic-enhancing wedge-shaped front baffle and flush-mounted drivers, accompanied by proprietary SVS drivers and the intelligent SoundMatch Crossover Network.

SVS envisioned a two-way monitor when engineering the Ultra Bookshelf speaker’s design, hoping for it to fill small to medium–sized rooms with an encompassing, coherent soundstage, in addition to churning out deep, dynamic bass; and sparkling mid and high-frequency details, regardless of whether they were being pushed to extreme volumes or played at moderate levels. Using a clever combination of premium build materials, FEA optimization, cabinet innovation and careful selection of crossover frequencies, has managed to make the Ultra Bookshelf Speakers possible.

In order to deliver low to midrange-frequency performance, the Ultra Bookshelf will boast of a hefty 6.5-inch composite glass-fiber cone woofer that is capable of pumping out an excellent stiffness to mass ratio for high sensitivity, while maintaining pistonic behavior that is well beyond the pass-band of the driver. The Ultra Bookshelves will also be equipped with SVS’ SoundMatch two-way crossover network, in addition to premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors and heavy-trace printed circuit boards that function in harmony, making sure that pure signal transmission and radiation is achieved to hit a generous sweet spot.

The Ultra Bookshelf speakers from SVS will tip the scales at 19 lbs. each, and will come in premium-grade piano gloss black and real black oak veneer finishes, retailing for $499 each.

LG Pocket Photo debuts in the UK

If you happen to live in the UK, you might want to make a beeline to The Gadget Show Live 2013, as that is where the LG Pocket Photo would make its debut across the pond, allowing consumers to have an alternative when it comes to a creative mobile photo printing experience. The LG Pocket Photo is a mobile printer as you can tell by its name, where it is touted to deliver high quality photo prints without having to be bogged down by wires and other kinds of nasty cables, hence making it the ideal companion for Android powered as well as iOS powered smartphones. After all, are we not an extremely visual tribe these days, capturing just about anything and everything on our smartphones with a mountain of data to clean up afterwards?

In order to get started with the LG Pocket Photo, all you need to do is download the LG Pocket Photo app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, and you are good to go after installation. Once you have performed the relevant kind of image edits on the captured photo from the device itself, or even embedded a QR code of your choice, go ahead and print it out, and your eyes will be pleasantly surprised by the kind of results that you see.

Not only that, you are also able to share photos on social media platforms as well as taking the more direct online route, straight from the LG Pocket Photo itself. Just what kind of wireless bridge does the LG Pocket Photo use to communicate with your mobile devices? Well, I see that it will most probably fall back on Bluetooth connectivity to get the job done, and for those with more advanced handsets, there is also Near Field Communication (NFC) thrown into the mix for easy, one-touch printing. You won't have to worry about expensive and potentially messy ink cartridges with the LG Pocket Photo though, as it makes use of inkless printing technology from ZINK.

Hotelier's Rechargeable Sweeper

Is it me, or is today cleaning up time? That is, after all, the impression that I had after covering the Leaf Genie, and here we are with the $129.95 Hotelier’s Rechargeable Sweeper. This cordless sweeper is trusted by restaurants as well as hotel chains, hence its unique name, where it is capable of delivering unobtrusive cleaning power without being overly complex to operate. Sporting a rechargeable battery-driven agitator brush as well as geared belt drive that will work equally well on carpet or hard surface floors, it will get to work quickly without any fuss, sweeping debris into the large 17-oz. removable dustbin.

The Hotelier’s Rechargeable Sweeper boasts of an extremely lightweight construction, while carrying the detail of one-handed operation. You will not wake up the dead either if the cleaning bug happens to bite you halfway through the night, as it sports a nearly inaudible 12-volt motor. Thanks to its telescoping handle that can adjust from 40″ to 50″ in length, it is capable of accommodating users of different sizes. Even better yet is the convenience of recharging it, as the battery can be removed for recharging, where you get 90 minutes of operation on a 10-hour charge.

Leaf Genie helps you clear your yard in no time at all

Whenever fall arrives, there is just one particular house chore that you will need to get done – that is, to make sure that the leaves in your yard are all nicely swept away to one side, otherwise it would end up being a major mess, visually as well as physically. I guess that is where the alternative name for 'autumn' came in, no, with all of the leaves falling down like nobody's business. Well, the usual rake might have done the job for a fair number of decades, but how about getting a little help from outside technology? Case in point, the $139.95 Leaf Genie.

This bad boy will sport an interesting all-in-one design, where a single one-switch flick will turn it from being a forceful blower to powerful vacuum and handy mulcher, and despite wearing multiple hats as a single device, it will not bog you down or be dead weight in any way, functioning as a compact, one-handed operation. The Leaf Genie is capable of mulching leaves up to 1/10th of their original size, and the blower works at speeds of up to 210 mph! Alternatively, suck them leaves up with a vacuum that generates 350 cubic feet of airflow per minute.
