After trying out the Proporta emergency travel charger and finding it an extremely handy accompanyment to my array of gadgets I was itching to get my hands on something beefier. Fortunately Proporta delivered once again with their recently released USB TurboCharger 3400.

Proporta USB TurboCharger 3400 Review
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Powermat Wireless Charger Review
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009As the promise of wireless power draws ever closer to a scary, brain-frying reality the age-old trick of induction is finding its way into more and more consumer devices for the purpose of charging without wires. The Palm Pre is a notable product which you can get an inductive charging kit for. The kit includes [...]
Baby biOrb Review
Sunday, October 11th, 2009To distract from the heavily involved desire to set up a marine aquarium we decided to try the Baby biOrb and set it up in our daughters bedroom. The biOrb range of aquariums are well known for looking good, they’re the Apple of the fish world and, like the gadget manufacturer, they make questionable compromises [...]
V-Tech Kidizoom Pro First Impressions Review
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Every now and then I’ve hopefully picked up a toy camera from a store shelf, intrigued by the whole concept of nurturing my daughters early interest in Gadgets. Unfortunately, these always turn out to be simplistic toys which “simulate” the functionality of digital cameras with the basic sounds and aesthetic of the real deal.
Sonim XP3 Review
Thursday, September 17th, 2009This Sonim XP3 review has been a long time in the making. It’s difficult to know, at the best of times, how to start a review and where to go with it, but for something like the XP3 it’s even trickier. The focus of the Sonim XP3 is not on functionality (well, not entirely anyway) [...]
MiFi 2352 Mobile WiFi Hotspot First Impressions
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009I’m perplexed at the widespread, comparatively anyway, adoption of 3g USB dongles in lieu of far better and more flexible alternatives. So perplexed, in fact, that I decided to try one such alternative, the MiFi 2352 from Novatel Wireless, to see if there’s really a glaring flaw keeping it from the mass market, or if [...]
Proporta Universal Emergency Travel Charger
Monday, June 15th, 2009I’ve been using the Proporta Universal Emergency Travel Charger on the odd occasion for a while now. It was a difficult device to actually test in the short run, because you don’t really know if it fits the bill until you have an emergency I-really-need-to-charge-this situation. I didn’t quite get there, but managed to try [...]
Proporta DVD/Netbook Case Reviewed
Monday, June 15th, 2009I’ve thus far resisted the temptation to pick up a portable DVD player favoring, instead, a humble, hand-holdable PMP to pacify a bored, car-bound baby. I picked up the Proporta DVD/Netbook case after seeing it in the results for Samsung NC10 cases, alas it doesn’t actually fit the Samsung NC10 nor any other 10″ Netbook [...]
Proporta Limited Edition Leather Memory Wallet
Thursday, May 28th, 2009Proporta! You sly old dogs, your sly little attempts to appeal to the geek crowd don’t slip us by. You can slip an SD card into a perfectly ordinary wallet, you know… that said, it’ll probably get lost/stuck in the credit-card sized pockets and forgotten about for years to come. If you’re rocking a Tapwave [...]
Proporta Protective Laptop Bag
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Every budding gadgeteer needs a good Gadget bag, the hallmarks of which are an extensive array of pockets, padding, portholes for headphones and a great deal of flexibility allowing it to carry everything from medium-sized laptops, to netbooks, mobile phones, PDAs, portable and/or full-sized games consoles and more. The Proporta Protective Laptop Bag goes a [...]
