Smart Bro Power Plug-it Review

Ever since my ill-fated first relationship with Smart Bro a few years ago I switched over to Sun Cellular and Globe for my mobile internet requirements. A series of unfortunate experiences (a mix of long intermittent connection periods and bad customer support) led me to terminate as soon as the contract expired. However it looks […]

MiPow Maca-Air Battery Case (iPhone 4)

If there were awards for external battery packs the MiPow Maca-Air for the iPhone 4 would probably win in several categories including “Best in Packaging”, “Thinness”, and “Stylish Design”.

MiPow Power Tube Universal Mobile Charger

These days it’s difficult to live without your mobile phone especially if you rely on a smartphone to get work done like sending e-mails. The biggest problem I have with smartphones that are 3G enabled is the battery life. You can barely make it through the day checking e-mails, making calls, and sending SMS. That’s […]

After more than 3 weeks of testing the Globe Tattoo Lamborghini (4G), we’ve come to the conclusion that if you can’t connect to the HSPA+ network then you’re better off with your normal 3G USB stick. We tested the 4G Globe Postpaid Tattoo Lamborghini against the 3G Smart Prepaid Power Plug-it and the results are […]

Harman Kardon GLA-55 Desktop Speakers Review

The Harman Kardon GLA-55 Desktop Speakers is an example of a beautiful marriage of technology and art. With the GLA-55 they took the transparent glass concept they had with the Harman Kardon Sound Sticks II to a completely different level!

Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini 4G Stick Day 5 Update

So we’re on day 5 of our Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini 4G Stick experience. We actually had a very good first day but sadly it’s all been downhill since then.

Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini 4G Stick Day 1 Review

Globe recently launched the Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini 4G Stick which is supposed to deliver up to 10mbps when connected to the HSPA+ network. Globe’s HSPA+ coverage barely covers majority of Metro Manila yet so it’s crucial that we also test this against areas without HSPA+ to see how much speed we will be getting […]

Unboxing the Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini Stick (10mbps)

The question that most people ask about the Globe Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini Stick (10mbps) is if it does actually live up to what it promises — 10mbps of Internet on-the-go. Several bloggers, most notably Technogra.ph, wrote articles praising the product saying that it even delivered “DSL” like speeds even if it’s not connected to the […]

YikeBike Fusion

This is arguably one of the nicest inventions so far for 2011. The YikeBike is a compact, electronic battery powered, beautifully designed, and expensive way to get around. This definitely isn’t for everyone since the idea is truly a novel one and the product features are more for people that travel around relatively short distances […]

Unboxing the AKG K404 Portable Headphones

I bought my wife the Harman AKG K404 portable headphones since she’s been stuck with unreliable generic IEMs for the longest time. She wanted something light and easy to bring along with her so we decided to go with the K404 because it was portable and it didn’t compromise sound quality for the sake of […]
