If you are an Android phone user, and you are looking to upgrade to a phone that has new features you might like this fabulous new Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 Smartphone. I find the prices of modern phones sometimes become a barrier to even think of owning one. I like that we can own the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 Smartphone for a reasonably price compared to the latest smartphones in the market.

Automate Your Home with WeMo
I have heard about the terms "Internet of Things" and Home
Automation, but never expected to try them out myself so soon. What
if all the gadgets in your home can connect to the Internet and be
controlled by you with the help of your smartphone or tablet?
Sounds a bit scary but with the popularity of the Internet,
smartphones, and in home Wi-Fi the future is headed in that
direction. I have been wanting to find out how home automation can
benefit us with the simple things that we use day-to-day and
improve our lifestyle.

The New Jabra Eclipse Review
Gone are the days where we run around like robots with bulky
Bluetooth headsets wrapped around our ears. I know that most of us would shy
away from using Bluetooth headsets because of their appearance and size. Jabra is known for its innovative sleek designs when it comes to
headsets. With the debut of the Jabra Eclipse Wireless headset,
Jabra has taken big strides in making a hands free headset look a
lot stealthy and stylish with no compromises.

Our Road Trip to New Brunswick in the 2015 Toyota Sienna
We really enjoyed driving the spacious 2015 Toyota Sienna XLE, which was perfect for our 14 hour road trip from Toronto to New Brunswick. Everyone in the family felt that they had comfortable amount of space to stretch, and to be seated during our travels. The ride was smooth throughout our trip despite the variety of road conditions we went on. In my upcoming posts, you will see that we not only drove the Sienna in the city, but also in small towns, winding highways, rugged roads, and lots of drivable trails.

Portable Tech Products External Battery Pack and Bluetooth Wireless Speaker
I have been testing and using a range of portable chargers and realized the problem with most of them is charging the chargers themselves, as it becomes a chore. The best solution to this would be to use ones that have a bigger capacity so they do not need to be charged frequently. RAVPower produces a range of portable chargers and have a lot of high end ones in their deluxe series with larger capacity.

Great Accessories for Mac from Mobee
The Apple Magic mouse is a great device. However, since we use it so often the batteries need to be changed frequently so we started using rechargeable batteries. Sometimes we forget to charge the batteries and end up having a mouse without a charge. Fortunately there is a cure to this problem. The Magic Charger by Mobee is a well thought out inductive charging solution for our Apple magic mouse.

Kanex MiColor Accessories
With a lot of Apple devices in the household you cannot have too many lightning cables. Standard Lightning cables that come with Apple devices are not particular strong and can be a little delicate. The Kanex MiColor ChargeSync USB cable with LED Lightning Connector comes in Silver to complement the color of the latest iPhones. The cable is braided with nylon fiber, which makes it slightly thicker and stronger and is durable for everyday use.

The Adventurous UE MEGABOOM
Say Hello to Logitech Ultimate Ears’ latest addition to its award winning line of portable wireless speakers, the UE MEGABOOM. It is designed to be a premium portable Bluetooth speaker in every way. If product packaging is an indicator of brand quality, the UE Megaboom’s packaging certainly makes its case. The speaker is enclosed in a large plastic cylinder with a carry on handle. Pulling the tab open from the side reveals the speaker and the bright yellow Micro-USB Wall charger. Since the UE MEGABOOM comes in different colours such as charcoal black, lava red, electric blue, and plum UE could have matched the colour of the wall charger with the speaker instead of standard yellow for all.

RAVPower® Dual USB Car Charger and Portable wireless router
We usually take turns charging our phones while driving, and I found this RAVPower® 24W 4.8A Dual USB Car Charger with iSmart Technology very useful. I was initially skeptical about charging 2 phones at once on a dual USB charger because I was afraid it might blow the fuse on the receptacle by drawing too much power to charge 2 phones at one time. I gave it a try because the specs indicate that there is a multiple safety system such as Temperature, Short-Circuit, Output over-current, and output over voltage.

HooToo USB 3.0 HUB Expands the USB Ports on My Computer
I have been avoiding USB Hubs after a bad experience with one a few years ago. I woke up in the middle of the night to a burning smell. I found the USB 1.0 HUB that was connected to my laptop with 3 other connected devices fried. Since the circuit inside the hub had burned, all the devices that were connected became inoperable. Currently with all the advancement in technology, USB HUBS have gotten better and more reliable. I had the pleasure of reviewing the HooToo HT-UH010 7-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 2 Smart Charging Ports and I love it. It is a great product with a very attractive design.

Extendable Self-portrait Shutter Stick
With smartphones being so popular these days, everyone I know owns one and they all use it to take pictures all the time. For most, their smartphone is the only camera they use. However, the photos taken on it is limited to our arms length. To solve this dilemma a device is created :) and I got a chance to check out the TaoTronics TT-SH10 Extendable Self-portrait Wireless Bluetooth Remote Shutter Stick Monopod for smartphones also known as the "selfie stick." We love using this device.
