iPod Radio Remote Reviewed

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video, Product Reviews,

So, last week at MacWorld, in addition to the new Intel computers, Apple announced the FM-tuning iPod Radio Remote. This is the $49 USD add-on that gives your iPod the ability to play FM radio, ready to work with the iPod nano and fifth-generation iPod with video support. iLounge recently took the device for a spin:

For the $49 price, what Apple’s Radio Remote delivers is a superior package to its $39 predecessor: you get added functionality, a superior control design, and remote-ready earbuds. You also get an FM radio experience that’s superior to Griffin’s similarly-priced iFM on interface, presets, and physical accessory size, too.

Not too bad if you are looking to get away from strictly playing the songs you have

downloaded from iTunes.

Monster GameLink 360 Component Video & Fiber Optic Audio A/V Kit

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Product Reviews, Video Games,

We have complained about the

Xbox 360’s loose fiber optic connection in the past, noting that it is such a poor oversight on Microsoft’s part. Since we didn’t want to use crazy glue or a twisty tie, we went for the next best thing - replacing the Microsoft cable all together in the hopes of finding something better. We got the Monster GameLink 360 Component Video & Fiber Optic Audio A/V Kit. Putting aside it’s insanely long product name, we unpackage the new wires and set everything up - check out the images after the jump.

SCOTTeVEST 237D Jacket Review

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Wearables, Features, Product Reviews,

The SCOTTeVEST 237D is the updated version of the Three.0 Spring jacket that we reviewed about a year-and-a-half ago. We have been testing out the 237D in Seattle weather for much of December, and are finding that the 237D moniker - which stands for “237 days,” meaning you can wear it for 3-out-of-4 seasons per year - lives up to its name for the most part. The 237D features 33 pockets, and adds the Detachable Cargo Cache, built-in battery holders, addition magnetic enclosures, and two more pockets than the Three.0 Spring. Check out the full review after the jump.

Swann DVR4-Net Four Camera Digital Recording System Review

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Features, Product Reviews,

We took Swann super-nice security cameras for a spin, and tried to do things with them that they weren’t necessarily meant for in order to show how else they might be used. Here are the items we tested:

• DVR-NET Digital Video Recorder
• CCTV Professional 4 Camera Pack
• Night Hawk Wireless Outdoor Camera

The Swann kit comes in two boxes with everything you need to create a fully functioning, impressive, security camera net, screws and all. You can use up to four cameras using one DVR. It records for up to a year with the lowest resolution, a 250GB hard drive (included if you option it, or you can supply your own), and 1 frame per second. You may record in a variety of ways which include, full screen standard definition, low definition with four simultaneous motion-activated shots (including motion-activated in particular areas of the image,) among others.

Nokia N90 Reviewed

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Product Reviews,

Our boys over at MobileWhack have put up an absolutely exhaustive review of the new Nokia N90 cell phone, and if there is anything you wanted to know about the phone that isn’t covered in their review, we seriously need to know what it is. Of course, as we suspected after playing around with the phone a bit ourselves, this one is a mixed bag:

On the plus side, it has excellent features in digital photography, video capture/playback, and audio playback. Having a 2 mega pixel image sensor certainly helps folks who want to be able to capture life’s everyday moments…The main display is bright, the feature set is long, and the phone is outright flexible…on the negative side, the form factor is a bit large and heavy. The dual hinge system takes a bit getting used to since it’s not a normal folding clamshell. It’s easy to twist the camera module which means you’re constantly turning the Camera mode on by accident.

If you are interested in the Nokia N90, be sure to check out the full review.

SCOTTeVEST truly is Technology Enabled Clothing, as the company touts. Using this philosophy, SCOTTeVEST has developed a full line of clothing specially geared toward those who need to carry multiple gadgets but never had the pockets to do so.
