Jan 2nd, 2012 at 8:00AM: I've always enjoyed having a collection of my music with me when I travel. It helps me to relax on a long flight, keeps me entertained while on the go, and is much appreciated when I'm passing the time in a hotel room. Thanks to MP3 players and smartphones, it is now easier than ever to carry our entire library of music with us wherever we go, and enjoying that music is made even easier with a ...NORAD tracking Santa on your iPad and smartphone

Jun 3rd, 2010 at 12:00PM:
Here on Gadling, we've covered quite a few portable battery packs in the past - and most of them are relatively straightforward (and boring). The new Griffin PowerDuo Reserve is the first truly interesting and innovative power product I've seen in a long time. The product consists of three parts - an AC charger (the PowerBlock Reserve), a DC/car charger (the PowerJolt Reserve) and a 500mAh ...Griffin Travel Stand for iPod and iPhone reviewed
May 25th, 2010 at 1:00PM:
The Griffin Technology Travel Stand for iPod and iPhone is one of the the smartest little gadgets I've reviewed in a long time. Despite not consisting of much more than a small case and rubber headphone winder, this product fulfills multiple tasks in one.
When closed, it is a great case for your headphones - keeping them wound around the included rubber wrapper. But when you open it up, ...Frommer's travel tools provides nine handy iPhone apps in one

Sep 21st, 2009 at 10:00AM: The year is 1984 - you put on your backpack, fill your pockets with twenty bucks worth of D cell's, and grab a couple of your best Duran Duran and Culture Club tapes off the dresser. As you leave on your trip, you carry your Panasonic Boombox to the car, ready to use it while walking down the street at your destination - because that is what cool people do. It may have been years since anyone ...Daily gear deal - Energizer Energi To Go iPod Battery Charger shipped for $7

Mar 20th, 2009 at 12:00PM: Last month I wrote a 5-in-1 Bluetooth headset review. One of the products in that lineup was the Lubix UBHS-NC1 stereo headset. In that product description, I mentioned a matching iPod Bluetooth stereo adapter, which I'm going to review for you today. The Lubix L'Bubb (yeah, that really is the name!) is a small dongle that plugs into the bottom of your iPod or iPhone, and streams the audio output ...10 apps to download on your iPhone before you travel
Mar 18th, 2009 at 3:30PM: I'm actually starting to believe that I'm the only person in the free world who doesn't yet own an iPhone -- and really, it doesn't make sense. I'm an Apple junkie, and have personally owned only Apple computers and other products since the mid-nineties. Heck, even our television at home is hooked up to a mini-Mac. So why have I clung to my non-Apple phone with such gusto? This post on Travel ...Daily deal - Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit MP3 speaker for $25

Feb 10th, 2009 at 1:30PM: The Scosche RevieLITE is the kind of gadget that always manages to get my attention - it takes a really basic feature, and adds something "cool".

On the front is an LED with a light sensor and a ...Daily deal - Kensington iPod Deluxe FM Transmitter for $15
