Review: Autonet

When traveling the roads of this country from New York to Austin, TX for the Chevy SXSW Road Trip, our Chevy Equinox was supplied with an Autonet router to give us internet access from the car. It gave us the ability to keep connection with the outside world and our GM reps, see what the other teams were posting online and upload our challenges.

Review: Motorola Xoom

On the Chevy SXSW Road Trip, Verizon Wireless was kind enough to sponsor us with a Motorola Xoom. From New York to Texas and back, the Xoom was our traveling companion and connection to the wider world as we traveled the highways and byways of the eastern half of the United States.

Tron: Legacy

28 years ago, Disney unleashed upon the cinematic public the science fiction film. While the plot was slow and plodding, the special effects and creative world captured the imaginations of a generation. Such future luminaries as John Lassiter and the members of Daft Pauk have cited Tron as inspiration for their work. Now, time has passed and we have received its sequel, Tron Legacy.

Review: Motorola Finiti

Each year, the technology advances and the companies release the next iteration of their technology. With the driving laws requiring headsets when driving, it’s important to have a good bluetooth headset. The Finiti is the latest bluetooth headset from Motorola, which incorporates the latest in Motorola’s Motospeak and CrystalTalk technologies.

Review: 4th Generation iPod Touch

As the iPhone 3G I have been using became slower with each incremental release of the iOS, I felt that it was time to upgrade to a more robust iPod. With the recent release of the new wave of iPods by Steve Jobs and Apple, I felt the new additions to the iPod Touch were just what I wanted in a new iPod.

Review: Couch to 10K

Ever since the initial February challenge, I’ve been running. I not only used Couch to 5K to prepare for the Bronx Zoo Run For the Wild, but I kept running even after that race. Wanting to take my training even further, I began using the Couch to 10k program in order to increase my distance and stamina.

Review: Powermat 2X

Last week at Obliterati, I was able to acquire a Powermat 2X in the gift bag. This device is not only a universal charger, but it is able to do it with minimal wires and clutter, allowing the user to do it with a minimal footprint.

Review: Motorola H17

The latest Bluetooth headset from Motorola is the H17, a small form factor earpiece that connects wirelessly to your cellphone in order to talk without holding your phone. With the laws in place that require these devices, and the now common sight of people using them while walking on the street, the Motorola H17 is a quality choice for your hands-free needs.

Review: Android Karenina

Leo Tolstoy’s classic story of romance in 19th century Russia has received an upgrade to a classic steampunk novel courtesy of Quirk Books. No longer content limiting themselves to the works of Jane Austin, robots have been added to Anna Karenina to create Android Karenina, their latest literary mashup.

SiriusXM for the Android

With Android overtaking iPhone in overall sales of smartphones, and selling second only to the Blackberry, it was only a matter of time until SiriusXM listened to the pleas of their customers and release a streaming app for the Droid, Nexus One, Incredible, et al. This past Friday, the people got what they wanted, and Android owners can now download the SiriusXM app for their phones.
