People using a mobile device, such as an iPad, may find the onscreen keyboard annoying, in which case having a physical keyboard is necessary. Our friends at Fellowes have a few accessories for mobile users that are of interest to business travelers.

Looty Dungeon – Review

Looty Dungeon takes its visual cue from the 8-bit retro craze that seems to be infecting the App Store over the last few years. (I think Minecraft is to blame, but I don’t know for sure.) Many games that use 8-bit retro graphics are not much to play, and the look and feel is really the only draw. Not so with Looty Dungeon. This is a fun, pick-up-and-play game that will probably have you coming back time after time to get some more in-game coins so that you can buy another character.

MyMac Podcast 601: The Whole sort of General Mishmash

The GMen take the lazy way out and instead of having one topic to focus on, kinda jump around to talk about odd bits and pieces. Because having an entire extra week to come up with a decent topic apparently wasn’t long enough.

PlusUS LifeCard slim portable battery – Review

The LifeCard is a slim, stainless steel power supply that will recharge most of a Smart Phone’s battery quickly. It’s thicker and heavier than a credit card, contrary to what the advertising says. It is skinny and will indeed fit in a wallet but it’s not as unobtrusive as an ordinary credit card. Considering the price, it’s also light on capacity.

The LAUT Power Dash 6.6 is a 3-port USB charger that plugs into a car’s 12 volt accessory lighter receptacle to charge or revive cell phones, tablets and other iOS devices.

Audio Technica AT-LP60BK-BT Turntable – Review

All of the controls are in exactly the same place as on the USB model. The only main variation is there is a mini-audio jack output on the Bluetooth turntable instead of a USB port. There is no difference from a analog sound output compared to the AT-LP60-USB, so let’s get to what this review is all about: the wireless capabilities of this turntable.
