Maxell AirStash – Review

iOS, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, Review, Video 0

Have you ever wished you had more space on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch for more music, movies, podcasts, photos, or files? Maybe you have the 16gb model and could really use the 32gb model, but you can’t afford a new device. Maybe you have the 64gb iPad and have no larger storage option. If this sounds like you, the AirStash by Maxell might be the device you are looking for. At a retail price starting at $149.99 you can add a minimum of 8gb to your device and you are only limited by the size of a 32gb card and how many cards you want to carry.

Macally Holster Case with Belt Clip & Stand for iPhone 5 Review

Cases, iPhone, iPhone Cases, Review 0

When it comes to iPhone cases they are a dime a dozen. One thing you rarely see in an iPhone case is a belt clip attachment. At least, I have rarely seen any- until I learned about the Macally Holster Case with Belt Clip & Stand for iPhone 5. Why would you want a belt clip? There are times you might want to leave the house in pants that don’t have pockets, possibly while exercising. There might be times when your pockets are too full and you don’t want to squezee you phone in there. I’m sure you could come up with reasons. Anyway, this Macally case for $29.99 is a great option.

Apps, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Review 0

Years ago the iMac came with several third party apps preloaded. One of these apps was Comic Life. Comic Life, while no longer preloaded on Macs, is still a great Mac app that is available today.

Love them or loathe them, the community of Apple users are passionate about upgrading their hardware on a regular basis. Although, it is often beyond reason and common sense. It is a sickness that borders on obsessive compulsive behaviors.
