MEEM To most of us a charging cable is just that, a cable. If you are feeling adventurous you might buy one that’s a fancy colour, or maybe has little LED’s to show the energy powering down the line. To the guys behind MEEM however, a charging cable was seen as an opportunity to bring physical backups to mobile devices without the user having to change anything about their normal usage routine.

Eventually they go wonky and only work for a few seconds when bent into some weird position. As a result of a Kickstarter campaign, [FUSE]chicken have developed their Titan range of tough cables for Android and iOS and were kind enough to send me one of...[Read More]

I tend to stay away from hubs, as I find them a little too bulky. So I was really interested in the Kickstarter for Infiniteusb. This is a fantastic little idea, why bother with a cumbersome bulky hub, when you can just plug in another USB cable into yo...[Read More]
Review: Y-CHARGE and FLYP-DUO from TYLT When reviewing the ENERGI case from TYLT, they also sent a couple of cable solutions, the FLYP-DUO which is a reversible USB cable.

One of the big advantages of Android devices is that most have the ubiquitous micro USB connector, allowing the use of the same charging cable for a wide range of gadgets. However, unless you’ve somehow managed to stick to that same charger that came with your device you’ll probably have noticed that not all chargers are created equal. Your phone or tablet will charge, but maybe not as quickly as ...[Read More]
A quick look at the Popcord Popcord started life on Kickstarter and will soon be shipping out to customers.

It has such a clean design and matches up with a lot of mobile phones, so much you would think they wer...[Read More]

Compatible with all USB chargers, this electronic accessory was created specifically to solve the problem of forgotten chargers. Just as the name implies, this cable “leashes” your device to its power source, charger, issuing an ...[Read More]
