Sitting on a plane and feeling “G” as the plane takes off, getting a calendar appointment notification at the due time regardless of which device I’m using and what device I added the appointment to…literally telling my phone to “wake me up at 5:30am”…dragging my files to my dropbox folder before running out of the house, and having access to the same file... »
I have been good…for the most. I really have been. But don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist this. In December, I succumbed and got the HTC One X+. It was justified. My old HTC desire was merely serving as a hot spot device. Just didn’t cut it. Then my sister got the HTC One X and I felt a kindling of the addiction. Luckily for me, not so much for her, the One X+ was an... »
It’s just a couple of days to the end of 2012. And during the year, a lot of things went down in the world of technology, and a couple of them struck me as awesome, so here’s a rundown of all the cool things I can remember that I used or came across in the last twelve months. Mobile devices: The Samsung Galaxy S3: Where do I start, with this beast of a phone? And I mean beast literall... »
As the mobile landscape gets more competitive, new innovations are bound to crop up as each OEM tries first to differentiate itself, then also add features to its products that will compel you to pick their products over a competitor’s. The thing is most people fail to see that some of these added features are just marketing gimmicks. They really don’t enhance your experience or make y... »
I have always marveled at the magic of the marketing behind Beats by Dre. Most self acclaimed music afficioanados swear by Beats. First time I tried it, I was left wanting more, wondering what the noise (:D) was all about. While it gives a pleasant output, I have had better music highs. For me, the most important feature of an earphone is the ability to give me pure, unadulterated output without t... »
I have a love for design/designing and have found an app that gives me the needed high in that aspect. Its called Houzz and has been hailed as “the Wikipedia of interior and exterior design” by CNN and the “Flickr of design idea sites” by The Washington Post. It was created by a couple, Adi tarok and Alon Cohen to aid them in their own home renovation and now with over 400, 000 photos, it has the ... »
If you’re as much of a nerd as I am, then you’ve probably gotten your fair share of the following question: “Why do you have so many devices”. First of all I take offence to that question because I don’t see my gadgets as devices, I see them as toys to be tinkered with, taken care of and on occasion sort of molested; but we shall address them as devices for the purpose of this writing. Currently, ... »
Trying to think up what to write next can be a herculean task. I think I need to synchronise my babies (also known as gadgets ). Right now, I have a Lappie, BB, an android for the all important hotspot, an Ipad and a playbook all spread out around me. All serving a different need. Talking about the Android hotspot, we have been bombarded with how great the mifi’s are. How they make browsing and co... »
Hi. My name is Gadget Addict. It says it all. Thing is, I love being one. Nothing beats the thrill of first setting your sights on an article about a new thing coming out. I rarely see a new thing for the first time in store. I will probably have been lusting for it for months after seeing it online. I have a weakness for online shopping and I’m happy to say I have had more hits than misses!... »
