Rebuilt for 2013, Adonit’s second-generation Jot Touch ($90) is one of very few pressure-sensitive iPad styluses on the market, arriving at a lower price point with enhanced hardware and improved software support. On the surface, it looks extremely similar to its predecessor, sporting the same metal and rubber body, three […] Read the original post…

Kingston’s new MobileLite Wireless ($TBD) is the followup to its earlier Wi-Fi extra storage accessory Wi-Drive. Instead of built-in storage, this one uses user-provided external media — a USB drive, microSD, or standard SD, to give your iOS device extra space for media files. It can communicate with up to […] Read the original post…

We first spotted Tylt at last year’s CES, where it was showing off its flat cables and chargers. Since then, it has moved into several other segments of the market, including cases. Among them is Bumpr for iPhone 5 ($TBD) — which is, thankfully, more than just a bumper. It’s […] Read the original post…

Although its corners are slightly more rounded, it’s hard to avoid comparing Tylt’s Sqrd for iPhone 5 ($TBD) to Incase’s Box Case.

We’re skeptical of accessories that claim to boost signal performance, but willing to give Absolute Technology’s Linkase for iPhone 5 ($50) a shot. The claim is that the polycarbonate and rubber case can boost Wi-Fi reception up to 50%, thanks to a retractable electro magnetic waveguide (EMW) antenna. Although the […] Read the original post…

The 2013 International CES saw a number of Kickstarter-backed Bluetooth watches make official debuts: ConnecteDevice’s Cookoo, the infamously-delayed Pebble, and the lineup from Martian Watches, including Passport Watch ($299). Instead of a full digital display, this one combines a handsome analog face with a 96 x 16 pixel OLED screen. […] Read the original post…

The release of iOS 6.1 could be coming soon, suggests a recent report. Apple’s fifth beta version of 6.1 — which is undergoing “extensive internal testing,” and deals mostly with bug fixes and optimizations — may wind up being the gold master build. If everything remains on track, this version […] Read the original post…

Aimed at educational institutions, businesses, and home users, Kanex’s meDrive File Server ($99) is a small white box that connects directly to your router and USB-based power source using included cables.
