ASUS VivoMouse wants to change the way you look at your peripherals

As technology changes, so does the way we look at our interactions with them. Form and function start to meld into each other, as a newer and better version of a product rises out of the ashes.

Bleep Drum Kit

If you really want to make your own music, you should probably learn to play an instrument. If you have a general feel for the beat but aren’t too inclined to dealing with pitch, then percussion may be your forte.

Nokia Asha 501 wants to give everyone high-end design that’s accessible

Just about every day you see a new smartphone, tablet, or laptop crop up that has a rather lofty price tag attached to it. All of those may have the latest or most impressive hardware and software, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the best. You can still have good quality without paying an exorbitant amount of money.

Gamepop wants you to subscribe for mobile games on their console…hmm

There are a plethora of ways to watch shows and play games, but when it comes to mobile games, you’d think they would just stick to your phone. Well, we saw with the OUYA that this is not always the case. Of course, the resounding success they had on Kickstarter means that others are going to try and pursue the same path in a new way. That doesn’t mean it’s going to be better than the original though.

When your parents decided they wanted to go above and beyond for dinner, they would normally pull out an old cookbook and make some crazy dish. Maybe it was good, maybe it was terrible, but they would go back and forth between the book and what they were doing a thousand times over to make sure they were making things correctly.

Meet Earl – a tablet that wants to be your hiking buddy

Bringing a smartphone or tablet with you on a hiking excursion is always a little scary. What will you do if it falls in the mud, hits a rock, or worst yet…loses signal? Devices with a glass face and limited life without an outlet nearby are not the best for outdoor excursions, which is why you should look some something that is tough as you are.

No more sending a quick text, handshakes, typing out an email, and the list goes on and on.
