CX-919 II Android TV Stick

Nowadays, Smart TV has become a popular range of TVs. Like Smartphones, they are TVs which have built in OSes, allowing you to install apps and surf net on your TV. Now before you decide to go for the best range of Smart TVs out there, there are some downsides of getting a Smart TV.

Pebble Watch

I've mentioned about Pebble Watch in my previous post here. It's basically a Smart Watch that is compatible with iPhone and Android devices. Similar to the Bluetooth Wrist Watch, it connects to your smart device via Bluetooth.

Qi Wireless Charging Pad

It was said that Nikola Tesla had invented wireless electricity transmission more than 100 years ago. Conspiracy theories have been going around suspecting that it wasn't successful because he was threatened by the electricity companies whose business was at stake if wireless electricity could be tapped freely from anywhere. Today however, we have some progress. Although it's considered "wireless" electricity transmission, it's not as impressive as one would imagine it to be. 

Rotating Power Extension Cord

Do you always encounter problems with badly designed power adapters plugged into your power extension cord that can sometimes take up spaces of another power socket beside it? Then you may find this extension cord useful.

Magnetic Tablet Case With Auto-Sleep And Auto-Wake Feature

It seems that tablets nowadays has an auto-sleep and auto-wake feature for magnetic tablet cases. It works by detecting the magnet from the front part of the case, putting the device to sleep whenever you close the case, and waking the device up when you open it. Below is a video of how it works on my Nexus 7 2nd generation.

Wow-Pen Joy

Yes, it's a mouse. Yes, it has a weird shape. But it's the best ergonomic mouse ever! 

Bluetooth Wrist Watch

A watch I bought from Aliexpress. Like a Smart watch, it actually connects to your phone using Bluetooth. Though it doesn't do as much as what a Pebble watch can, it's much cheaper (around 57 USD) and actually has some cool functions that most Smart watches do not tend to have.

Retro Telephone Handset

Well. The picture above explains it all. It's a Retro Telephone handset. Connect this to your smartphone and you can pick up calls in a retro way! Helps avoid radiation by keeping your ears away from your phone. (Just like any other hands-free sets)

The sound quality is decent, can't comment much about that. There are also volume buttons on the side, just to make it a bit more useful than it already is!

Seriously I have no idea why I bought this though. But if you, like me, is succumbed to your own impulse, you can get it at Aliexpress for around 6 USD with Free shipping.

LG Optimus 3D

You probably have heard of Nintendo 3DS and it's glasses-free 3D technology, or maybe even own one. But how many actually heard of glasses-free 3D smartphones?

A couple of years ago both HTC and LG released their 3D smartphones at around the same time, namely EVO 3D and Optimus 3D respectively. Probably the product exposure didn't go very well, or people just aren't really interested in a 3D smartphone, sales weren't good, and thus till date these two phones are still the only glasses-free 3D smartphones that have ever existed in the market. (Well, at least in Singapore market)

The 3D effect generated by these devices uses a display technology known as parallax barrier. When the viewer's head is in a certain position, a different image is seen with each eye, giving a convincing illusion of 3D. 

Huawei Mobile Wifi

Many people prefer tablets with 3G/LTE support, mainly because they don't have to search around for hotspots while in public places.

Introducing the Mifi (Mobile Wifi). Well there are people who have never heard of it. It's a portable router that works the same as tethering 3G/LTE with your smartphone to share the connection with other devices through Wifi.

Some people may ask. Why do we even need this if we can tether with our smartphones? Well, tethering uses a lot of battery, and heats up the phone quickly. You still need your phone for call and messaging don't you? Besides, some old devices (e.g Nintendo DS) have some issues supporting ad-hoc connections like smartphone tethering. In those cases Mifi would be your saviour.
