Turn your Device into an Instant Boombox with Scosche BoomCAN

Apple iPad is the Swiss Army knife of portable gadgets. It can be a gaming platform, sketch pad, navigational device, multimedia player, a book reader, web browser, productivity tool, and so on and so forth. What it is not is a boombox until you plug in a new (or a dozen) boomCAN portable media speaker.
The boomCAN provides an improved sound not just for iPad but also for a lot of devices such as laptops, netbooks, tablets, iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, Smartphone, Android Device, and many more. It enhances the sound quality, volume, and overall audio output of your device which is ideal while you are watching a movie, playing game, or listening to your playlist. What’s more interesting about the boomCAN is that it lets you connect multiple speakers through the audio output to create a richer and fuller sound. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery allows up to 7 hours of continuous music playback.

This media speaker is also very portable, measuring about 2.5-inch tall and less than 2-inch wide, so easy to bring virtually anywhere you go. The boomCAN is also lightweight although it is designed with rugged high strength aluminum housing for durable protection. Each of the boomCAN is sold separately and you may need to purchase additional items if you want to connect multiple speakers in the audio output. An audio/USB charging cable and travel pouch are included for every boomCAN package.

Dell Streak: Your All-In-One Gadget On The Go

A smartphone and a tablet in one – how’d you like that? Well fact is, we can’t really pinpoint or categorize the Dell Streak between a smartphone and a tablet. It has the characteristics of both, and even more, which make it very appealing.

The Streak is a device that will allow you to do a lot of things, and you can bring it with you anywhere you go, all thanks to its compact 6 x 3.1 x 0.4 inches dimensions. Listening in to your favorite music or playing your favorite games would sure be fun with Google Android OS. You can also take photos or videos on the go without hassles with the device’s front and back camera and 5MP resolution. Plus, you’re guaranteed to stay connected with the Streak. Its combination of 3G mobile broadband, WiFi, and Bluetooth makes you connected to the world at all times, whether you’re in the jungles of Africa or in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The device will even allow you to upload photos in Facebook and Twitter anytime. Not impressed by those features yet? How about a built-in A-GPS and e-compass that will help you navigate the road with no hassles? And, you can enjoy all these with a 5” damage-resistant screen that will show you all you need through a crystal clear glass.

Of course, all these are useless without enough storage. You’ll be glad to know that the Dell Streak offers almost no-limit storage capabilities. And, you wouldn’t have to wait long because the Streak will be available this late July. Perfect treat!

Swiftpoint Mouse: Portable, Fast, and Natural

Laptops are great replacements to desktops because of their portability. However, they have one feature that is not as user-friendly as the overall characteristic of the device – their touchpad. And yes, you can bring an external mouse with you, but the wires and the additional bulk is often a hassle. The solution? The Swiftpoint mouse!

The Swiftpoint is small and very portable. Unlike the usual mouse that often gets in the way, you won’t even notice this one when you’re not using it. You can use it either on your laptop’s palm rest, or on any other flat surface just like the usual mouse. One good thing about the Swiftpoint is that it’s wireless. It has a USB dock that secures it to the laptop magnetically so that you don’t have to carry it separately and it will always be available when you need it. The dock also charges the mouse. A full charge can give the mouse a 3-week life span, while a quick 30-second charge can give you an hour of use. Other than its portability, the Swiftpoint also performs well. It’s 30-40% more accurate than a touchpad, and you can use it even for critical tasks like gaming and graphic design.

And while you get both portability and performance, that’s not all – the Swiftpoint Mouse: Small, Wireless, Rechargeable, Optical Mouse held in a Natural Pen-like Grip is also comfortable to use. It’s similar to an ordinary mouse when it comes to the way you use it, so there’s no adjusting needed on your part.

HP Mini 210 HD Edition – The 10-inch High Definition Mini Monster

You don’t need a supercomputer to take down goliath applications and crunch high definition videos – sometimes a 10.1 inch mini is good enough especially if it’s HP. Introducing the latest addition to entry level HP netbook family, the new Mini 210 HD Edition. The slim and light design measures barely an inch thick and weighs only 2.69 pounds. On the outside, its aesthetics include the usual rounded corners, lightly curved lid edges, and a long tapered body typical of HP netbooks. The basic edition comes silver crystal but for a few extra bucks you can get the cooler sonoma red, pacific blue, black crystal, white crystal with white keyboard and preppy pink with pink keyboard colors. The keyboard is Island-style and about 93% of the standard size. The Mini 210 HD edition has 10.1” screen that natively supports 1,366×768 resolution for a full 720p HD experience. You can move your HD experience to the next level by adding an optional Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerator to elevate your mobile entertainment into 1080p HD.

The entry level HP Mini 210 HD Edition relies on the latest Intel Atom N455 (1.66GHz) processor and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 for reliable and energy-efficient performance. The default system memory is 1GB but it can be upgraded up to 2GB. Like other netbooks, it doesn’t come with an internal optical drive but it has 3 USB 2.0 ports to external peripheral devices and storage. Sadly, the default wireless access is still 802.11b/g but if you have the extra cash, it can be upgraded into much faster Wireless-N.

This miniature digital video recording device features a 2GB memory that can store up to two hour’s worth of video and audio at 30 fps quality. To use the Easy Shot Clip is truly easy, thanks to the no-brainer one-button operation. After recording the videos, uploading them to YouTube and other popular networking and sharing websites is a breeze with the bundled ArcSoft Media Impression Software. Aside from the software, this gadget also comes with mounting stand, neck strap, shirt clip, bicycle mount, and helmet adaptor for hands-free operation.

The word is that this fascinating ultra-mini digital camera will be officially unveiled during the 2010 CES. Do you want to know the best part? The Concord Keystone Easy Shot Clip is also under an amazing mini price point of less than $70.00. Now that’s what you call a fraction of the size at the fraction of the cost.
