As we start thinking back to school time we've got desk organization on our brains. It's like my annual New Year's tech resolution, although I always seem to make it (again) in late summer. Now that my kids are getting to the age where t…

And the award for best use of half a used plastic toy goes to...the dinosaur iPhone stand ! Not that there was a ton of competition, mind you, but how can you not totally love these upcycled toys-turned-gadget stands? From the look of it…

Update: It seems a future proof charging dock wasn't future proof after all; now you can check out the Dual Charging Dock for iPhone and Apple Watch if you like the look of DODOCase. So we're already fans of DODOCase (the mere mention ge…

If you thought that encasing your tablet in an Otterbox case was like giving it a bulletproof vest, the new Otterbox Agility System is sheathing it in an entire Iron Man style exoskeleton armor system. (However it does not come with Robe…

Someone once said: The organized life is the best life . Actually, maybe it was one of those dubious, curly-font quotes posted on Pinterest that make you feel totally guilty about your life. But still, there's still some truth in there, …

Has the audiophile in your life been very, very good this year? One more to add to our coolest audio gifts list: a beautiful, compact portable sound system and alarm clock that's beautiful inside and out, thanks to sustainable wood and h…

I'm a huge fan of the juxtaposition of high tech and low tech, but I've never seen anything like the Decaphone. Or really, I have. But it wasn't all in wood and it certainly didn't have a dock for your iPhone in it. The Decaphone is insp…

Ever wonder what happened to all those forgotten joysticks, Atari paddles, and Nintendo controllers left over from the 80s and 90s? Cry not for the games of yore. They've been upcycled to charge your Apple devices. Though sadly, the Kona…

Remember when "chatting" involved a receiver comfortably nestled between your chin and shoulder while you paced the kitchen, tethered by a springy coil that was fun to wrap around your finger? If not, congratulations on not having eye wr…

When Apple made its big iPhone 5 announcement last September, everyone went huh? wha? with the new Lightning cord connectors. For the households that straddled between different models and accessories, that meant getting a whole new set …

Like Ernie and Bert, now that I've seen this genius little speaker that amplifies the sound coming out of your tablet or other iOS device, I can hardly imagine them ever apart. The Zooka Speaker Bar is an incredibly clever gadget from a …

I grew up loving that little 1970s-era digital clock on my grandparents' bed table, that remained there long after the world had moved onto all things digital. For that reason, I have a beautiful feeling of nostalgia when I look at these…

I have an Android phone and we 'droid-ers know the feeling of being left out of the iPhone world with all its cool doodads and whatnots and whozits. (What? Those are the real tech terms). So when there's cool stuff made just for us--well…

There's no shortage of cool desktop phone docks out there, as you probably know by now. From really clever iPhone docks to really cute iPhone docks whatever your tastes, there's a dock to match. But I'm really loving this iPhone dock whi…

Leave it to Jonathan Adler to take something high tech, make it look low tech, which then makes me want it. Like this old fashioned phone looking thing? Not really a phone at all. Actually it's the Jonathan Adler smartphone dock which we…
