In Car Wifi Technology

The internet is still relatively new, but few people could ever imagine surviving without it. We are now connected to an unlimited source of information wherever we go. Smartphones all have sim cards which allow internet access wherever they have signal, but not all tablets do. As tablets are popular with kids, keeping them connected while on long journeys in the car is a top priority for many par...[Read More]

Review: Y-CHARGE and FLYP-DUO from TYLT

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. It has a micro-USB connecter with a lightning cable attachment. The second product is the Y-CHARGE [QUIK], which is a dual USB car dock, so you can use quick-charge technology to charge two devices. FLYP-DUO At Droid Horizon we ...[Read More]

Review: Garmin nüviCam Sat Nav with Dash Cam

Specialising in GPS technology the name Garmin should need no introduction to any tech enthusiast. However when it comes to car Sat Navs, we at Droid Horizon have a passion for Android devices and tend to look to Google Maps for our navigation needs since it comes free with our phones. Even when you factor in an integrated dash cam, can the dedicated Sat Nav experience really be worth the addition...[Read More]

Review: xProDock NFC Dock from iBOLT

Review: xProDock NFC Dock from iBOLT A smartphone car mount is normally pretty standard but the latest model from iBOLT called the xProDock comes with an added bonus, NFC. This means that by stepping into my car and putting my phone into its dock, I can pre-allocate settings to be enabled by the NFC tag supplied with it. Which is great, as it now means I can put it onto car mode automatically, and...[Read More]

Review: Arkon Mobile Grip 2

Review: Arkon Mobile Grip 2 Arkon have sent me their Mobile Grip 2 and it’s compatible with larger display phones. This new Mobile Grip 2 will fit any phone or phablet with a case in width of 2.4″-3.6″. I find these great for using on the car, when using the phone as a GPS, or when putting my phone on my desk, as I still think car mounts are great for desk mounts.   Although...[Read More]

Review: DBPOWER BA-700 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit

Most of my music listening has gone wireless thanks to the use of Bluetooth speakers and headsets. However the one domain where I was still rocking it old school was in the car, where I still listen to my MP3 CDs. DBPOWER’s car kit is an inexpensive solution to wirelessly connect your phone to the in-car audio, but is it just an awkward workaround or actually any good? The BA-700 consists of...[Read More]

Review: The Ribbn from TYLT

Review: The Ribbn from TYLT I’ve been using the Tylt Ribbn for a few weeks now and, even though its just a car charging cable, its pretty awesome. The Ribbn is a 4.8A 12-volt car charger for smartphones that integrates a 1m flat cable. At one end is the car charging plug and on the other is a micro-usb cable. I loved the fact that the flat cable design meant, that it doesn’t get tangle...[Read More]

Review: Tylt Vu Car Wireless Charger

Review: Tylt Vu Car Wireless Charger Charging your phone wirelessly at home, is a great privilege, but I did think that it’d be great when on the road. There’d be no fumbling with cables and docks while driving, which is dangerous. If like me, you’re one to keep your phone in a car mount, and like to charge while on the go, then the Vu Car Wireless Charging Mount from TYLT was so...[Read More]
