Product Reviews & Price Comparisons

Just Mobile Gum - Just Mobile

The daily recharge is a scenario familiar to iPhone users. Most days, we’re not far from the trusty USB ports on our Mac or a plugged-in USB AC adapter, so the need for constant recharges isn’t too much of a problem. But every now and then, we’re out and about all day ... read more at MacLife

Passport - Scosche

Although all recent iPods, and both iPhone models, require a USB connection to sync with your computer, until this year’s models you could still charge Apple’s media players via a FireWire connection.

Incipio Tonic - Incipio

As Considering the number of devices that can charge over USB, it makes sense to keep a USB power adapter around. Incipio’s Tonic is a compact, lightweight, 1.1 ounce AC adapter that allows any USB- powered gadget to charge from a wall outlet... read more at MacLife

AccuGlide - Macally

This brushed-silver slab is unlike any mouse you’ve ever seen. At a mere 2 by .6 by 3.3 inches, it has a smaller footprint than a business card; and at 1.6 ounces, it weighs less than the stack of cards you’d normally take to Macworld Expo... read more at Macworld

Neat Receipts - NeatReceipts

Whether you itemize your income-tax deductions, prepare expense reports, or just don’t clean out your wallet very often, paper receipts can create clutter, not to mention get lost or fade to near illegibility.

Macally Pebble - Macally

Now that we’re well into the 21st century, it escapes me why anyone would choose a wired USB mouse over one of its wireless brethren. That said, if you’re willing to put up with a long USB tail to gain battery-free convenience, then Macally’s inexpensive, talented Pebble mouse is a good choice... read more at Macworld

Genius PenSketch 9x12 - Genius

Graphics tablets are a sound investment for creative types, especially Photoshoppers. But we suspect that the reason more people aren’t using them is that they’re so darn expensive. We eventually discovered that while the PenSketch 9x12 has a reasonable price, it has shortcomings that might make it worth the extra money for a better tablet... read more at MacLife

iKey Portable USB Recorder - iKey-Audio

The iKey is a portable consumer-level audio interface designed for recording audio to any USB-based storage device, including your iPod.
