Our initial speed benchmarking with Verizon’s LTE service was enough to get us seriously interested in the high-speed 4G network, but there’s more to a mobile broadband service than just raw throughput. Has the LG VL600 LTE modem lived up to expectations? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Parrot’s AR.Drone was the surprise hit of CES 2010, breaking the French company out of its Bluetooth prison and instead taking to the skies with an iPhone-controlled quadricopter. Reminiscent of something out of a William Gibson novel, the AR.Drone promises to best all R/C helicopters before it, with its combination of four-rotor stability and onboard autopilot intelligence.

Trashcans aren’t what we normally expect to find gracing the SlashGear test bench, but simplehuman’s sensor can reckons it’s a bit more special than the average garbage pail. The company claims the sensor can “reacts and adapts to your behavior” making for an easier clean-up. Still, at $225 the initial reaction it got to respond to was shock at such an expensive can. Did we learn to love the sensor can as it learned to live with us? Check out the full review after the cut.
A tiny sub-display, for remotely-controlling your Android smartphone and sneaking glances at incoming messages when you probably should be paying attention in class, in meetings or in the midst of romantic dinners: what’s not to like about Sony Ericsson’s LiveView? The compact OLED display promises to pick out the most important updates from your smartphone and push them out to your wrist or wherever you have the LiveView clipped, but does the real-world experience live up to the marketing promise? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
The new LG E2360V, the company would like us to believe, ticks not just one but three categories: it’s a Full HD panel, for entertainment, it’s fashionably slim, at just 12.9mm thick, and it’s also got some decent environmental credentials too. Still, at around $300 it’s not a cheap display, so how does the reality live up to the PR hype? Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.
Jawbone is no stranger to Bluetooth and personal audio, after all their headsets have consistently impressed reviewers – ourselves included – but according to the company the new Jawbone JAMBOX is paving the way for a new category of mobile audio. Rival wireless stereo speaker manufacturers might argue with that, however, so is the new JAMBOX a case of PR hype above all else? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
If you want to stand out in the overcrowded iPhone/iPod speaker market you can promise high quality, tempt with distinctive design, throw in features or simply slash the price right down. Parrot’s Zikmu iPod speakers certainly don’t fall into that last category, at $1,600 a pair, but the French company claims the eye-catching Phillipe Starck designed totems slot neatly into the others. Are these “Lime Sorbet” monsters really the best speakers to pair with your PMP? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
For each generation of iPhone, there’s been a Mophie Juice Pack to bolster its battery. Apple may have refined its smartphones’ power requirements over each generation, but getting a full day’s use has often been beyond most app-addict users. The iPhone 4 certainly has longer-legs than its predecessors, but Mophie’s promise to “virtually double” runtime with the new Juice Pack Air is appealing all the same. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
For some, a gadget case is just a means to an end: a way to protect their latest toy from bumps and scrapes. For others, they’re a means of self-expression, enhancing the ownership experience and significant in their own right. Aligata’s Nippon and Perfect Black cases fall resolutely into the latter camp, natural grain leather folios that make a virtue out of their unique finish. Are they the top choice to clad a precious iPad? Check out the full review after the cut.
Being a green gadget is big business these days; you can get plenty of mileage out of using recycled packaging, donating a dollar to a penguin for every unit sold, or generally avoiding unnecessary pollution with how you transport or produce your device. Still, we do wonder exactly how much is lip-service and how much is authentic Earth-friendly consideration. Claiming to be resolutely in the latter category is Thinksound, who reckon their ts02+ mic headphones deliver decent audio performance without slaughtering the planet in the process. Check out our full review after the cut.
Plantronics continues to plug away at the Bluetooth headset market, and while there are plenty of super-budget models out there, the company still reckons there’s a higher-tier of premium buyers looking for the very best in wireless performance. Into that niche drops the new Plantronics Savor M1100, which blends voice control with a audio-controlled companion service called Vocalyst, as well as an update to the well-received Plantronics Voyager Pro, the Pro+. Check out our full reviews after the cut.
Plantronics’ BackBeat headphones have been around for some time now, with the company gradually evolving the design and hardware to keep the stereo Bluetooth headset ahead of the game. The latest iteration is the BackBeat 903+, packing the newest version of Plantronics’ AudioIQ2 DSP and tighter iPhone integration. Sweet music or a bum note?
