Over the past couple of years, the number of choices for consumers looking to buy a portable Bluetooth speaker has exploded. It wasn't all that long ago that our options were limited to just a few underpowered speakers that provided low-quality wireless audio, but now there are literally dozens of these speakers on the market making it much more of a challenge to decide which one to ...

Apr 30th, 2013 at 3:00PM: When we review travel apps that actually do something, they often tap crowd-sourced information that is as rich (or not) as the number of users who have contributed their opinions or reviews. GPS-based travel apps take existing technology and manipulate it in one way or another to bring every thing from finding a friend on the road to creating a virtual journal of our travels, step by step.

March 20 is the first day of spring and for those in the northern plains of the United States, the day just can't get here fast enough. Battered by late winter storms, spring road trip thoughts were put on hold as attention was drawn to record snowfalls. Spring will eventually get here. When it does, plans for a road trip might be just to get out of town with the destination unknown or a ...

Feb 25th, 2013 at 8:00AM: Smartphones, tablet, iPods and other devices have certainly made our travel experiences much more enjoyable. Gone are the days of sitting around an airport for hours on end with few ways to pass the time. Keeping those gadgets fully charged for extended use can be a real challenge, however, as a dead battery means our tech toys are really just dead weight. Fortunately there are more charging ...

That's still excellent advice, but the problem many of us face is ...

Feb 23rd, 2013 at 8:00AM: There is nothing more frustrating than having to seek medical assistance while traveling. It is bad enough to have something unexpected come up while you're at home, but at least your personal doctor is generally only a phone call away.

Although iPhone photography may still seem amateur to the professionals, let's face it: more and more of us are documenting the visuals of our lives with our phones. And even while we're traveling and relishing in picture-perfect scenery, many of us are capturing and sharing those moments.

Feb 8th, 2013 at 8:00AM: For my money, Google Maps is one of the greatest technological advances of all times. Whether I'm at home or traveling to some new destination, it helps me to find restaurants, museums, shops and other points of interest, then routes me to those locations by car, foot or mass transit. Over the past few years, Maps has continued to evolve and add new features, making the system even more useful as ...

But that beauty comes with a price, as anyone who has ever dropped their iPhone onto a hard surface can attest. A good case can alleviate that heartbreak, however, providing extra protection when you need it most.

Are these people boarding a spaceship or just exiting the subway? The rays of light make an everyday scene look ethereal. Taken in New York City by Flickr user Skylar Grant (on a roll this week with yesterday's shot of the Williamsburg bridge) with an iPhone using Instagram, the photo uses the most of the app's technology, filling the square frame just perfectly, with a nice balance of color ...
