Review: You too can have the power with Powercube
Review: You too can have the power with Powercube I am still surprised that extension plugs dont have USB ports included as standard. So I was intrigued when I found Allocacoc, and their PowerCube line of power outlets. Anyone reading this, will probably have as many devices—smartphone, tablets, media player —that rely on USB cables for charging as they do hardware that needs an AC power cable. &n...[Read More]

Review: Have your doodles stored in the cloud with the Equil Smartpen 2
Review: Have your doodles stored in the cloud with the Equil Smartpen 2 Any smartpen (from a serious users point of view) will quickly make their flaws stand out. Some I have used in the past have been uncomfortable to write with, some have fallen at the hurdle of being a pen, most just havent worked as advertised. As someone born in the last 30 years, I am part of a growing number of people that ...[Read More]
