ivoke takes one stop shopping to a whole new level. Take your photo, edit it with Color Splurge, and then turn it into a memory to have shipped straight to your door. You  can do all this directly from the Color Splurge app. Take a new photo, use an existing photo from your photo album, or a photo from your Facebook album. Once you've uploaded your photo, you can desaturate the color - you know, add in color to only where you want it. It's a very simple app that does exactly what it's supposed to do. In the above photo you can see a photo I desaturated of my nephew playing soccer....

We met up with Lewis Chang at CTIA to see what Skinit had that was exciting. If you simply watch the video below, with no sound, the colors and designs alone will blow you away. Skinit has gone all out with licensed professional and college sports logos, movies, tv, and artwork you know so well. The colors pop, and most of their cases are textured, so they feel good as well as look good. I really liked the ease of changing the back plates to quickly give your phone a whole new look. Lewis showed me some hot covers that fit on the MacBook Air, but explained they didn't have Macs to just...

DBEST boasts the smallest bluetooth speaker in the world. I don't know if they're the smallest, but they are loud enough to be heard over the roar in the convention center during CTIA. And they're beautiful! Wired and wireless, DBEST has some amazing speakers and headphones. Here's Jeff Galant from SmartIT to show and tell more about DBEST. Jeff also had a piece of sculpture masquerading as a speaker. Or maybe it was a speaker masquerading as a sculpture. At any rate, the sound was awesome, and it had some great features. Here are some photos.

I received many emails leading up to this year's CTIA. None piqued my interest so much as the one promising the CEO would be bringing his "industrial drop test machine." So I went to the Tech21 website to see what this could be about, and found this really cool video. You can check it out for yourself later, but the gist is, they wrap this guy's hand in this orange goop and bash it with a hammer - and he doesn't feel a thing. Are you as intrigued as I was? What makes Impactology™ unique is the secret ingredient D30® Impact Fabric used within our designs. It's composed of a non-Newtonian...

Having been disappointed by the some of my other batteries’ lack of ability to hold a charge, I went looking for a new one which I hoped would perform better. The one I found was XPal Power’s Energi to Go 18,000mAh (yeah, 18,000!), which is licensed by Energizer. I put this battery to the test during CTIA, and I have to say it simply blew my socks off. This battery is pretty good sized at 7in x 4.5in x .75in, and it weighs about 2 pounds. But given the amount of power this thing packs, it isn’t bad at all. In theory, 18,000mAh is enough to charge the average smart phone 10 times. So,...
