New Year’s Resolution: Tidy Up Your Wires? Mr Handsfree Family Charger can help

Most geeks take pride in having a room filled with lots of messy wires and equipment maybe because it baffles the ordinary person and they then get to answer lots of questions about what it all does. Satisfying. Perhaps.

For those that don’t, SmartHome has a neat little charging station that allows you to charge 3 portable gadgets from at any one time without the mess that usually goes with this.

The ‘Mr Handsfree Family Charger’ is just like a regular multiple-socket adapter except with 3 stands stuck on the end and tidy places to wrap your wires around, making for very neat and clean living.

JOOS Orange Solar Charger Burns the Competition

JOOS OrangeWhen I first got a solar charger for my Nokia N95 all those years ago now it seemed that it simply couldn’t sustain the phone’s energy consumption for any decent period of time, but the new JOOS (pronounced ‘juice’) Orange solar charger is planning to change that.

The manufacturers of the device are claiming that it can provide 20 times more power (offering up to 2.5 hours of talk time for every hour charging) than competing solar panels making it a very attractive option for some of the power-hungry devices it can charge.

Eneloop Adds Sophistication to Portable Chargers

Eneloop ChargerIn the past, portable charging devices running off a couple of AA batteries have been, for the most part, dodgy. You could pick them up in supermarkets for $10 and they wouldn’t have given you anywhere near enough power to switch your dead phone back on.

Sanyo has brought the battery-powered charger into 2010 by introducing their new Eneloop charging device. The Eneloop runs off AA batteries, but rechargeable Ni-Mh AAs, rather than disposable ones, that can be recharged by plugging the Eneloop into your laptop or other USB charger.

The Eneloop has immediately put itself a cut above its competition by supplying very high quality Ni-Mh cells with the charger that don’t leak over time. …

BioLogic ReeCharge Portable Rechargeable Battery Pack

BioLogic ReeChargeCharging your gadgets via solar panels is old news and, to be honest, so is charging your gadgets when cycling. However, the BioLogic ReeCharge from Dahon deserves a mention here just for doing it just a little bit cooler than others.

The ReeCharge is a 1600 mAh Lithium Battery that gets strapped to your bike and plugged into your dynamo (not included). When you’re cycling around in the day you won’t need to use your light and so you can instead use the power being generated by your dynamo and store it in this battery. …

Review: Krypton iPhone 3G/3GS Case

Krypton Products iPhone 3G/3GS Case The Geeks received some Krypton Products a couple months ago then put the products to real world testing. This review concentrates on the Krypton iPhone 3G/3GS Flex Case.

As mentioned, these cases were tested by several reviewers and it was hard for the reviewers to choose the style they wanted. Orange and Black Groove went first followed by Black Pyramids. Personally, I preferred the Black Groove style but would have used any case.

Review: Krypton iPhone/iPod Touch Screen Armor

Krypton Screen Armor for iPhones The Geeks received some Krypton Products a couple months ago then put the products to real world testing. This review concentrates on the Krypton iPhone Screen Armor.

In each Screen Armor box you receive two films, a microfiber cloth, a Krypton Sticky (to remove pesky air bubbles) and an Application Card to apply the screen armor to the screen. As you can see from the picture (taken by Gadget Girl Photos), Krypton Products have several screen armor versions for the iPhone Ultra-Clear, Anti-Glare, Mirror and 360 Privacy with different film versions. The film names speak for themselves. For example, the Anti-Glare screen removes the glare from direct light whereas the Ultra-Clear film is transparent.
