One of the first complaints we heard about the iPad was decrying the lousy speaker setup. It faces the wrong way, and has tinny sound with low volume. If your audio experience is really important to you, then the Belkin Thunderstorm can help solve that issue once and for all. It transforms the iPad into a great mobile cinematic home theatre experience, perfect for movies and games.

If you’re looking for a simple docking station for your laptop or tablet, you might be disappointed to find that there is no solution available specifically for the model you’re looking for. Manufacturers don’t make docks for all devices after all. If your gear has a USB port, then you may be in luck, being able to have all the convenience of a dock, only needing to be plugged in via USB. I, for example, have a Surface Pro which has one USB port. With the StarTech USB docking station I simply plug it in to that USB port and instantly my display is extended to an external monitor, my headset is hooked up and ready to go, and I can take advantage of four USB ports for whatever I need. It turns that one available USB port on my gadget into four and eliminates the need for me to connect everything to my device one at a time. One plug to rule them all. Now when I sit down at my desk, I’m up and running with all my external peripherals in no time.

These giant LED offerings from Sony Samsung, Sharp all share one characteristic in common – a lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate that delivers incredible clarity, especially while watching action-packed playoff games in Full HD 1080p.

I had the opportunity to get to know the new Kobo Aura HD eReader and really spend some time getting a good feel for the device. When it was first announced it certainly looked like a premium level eReader device but now I can confidently say that it’s certainly the nicest E-ink device I’ve ever used.

As summer draws nearer, we find ourselves spending more and more time in new areas of the home and workplace – spaces we only use in warmer weather, for hobbies or chores or just plain relaxing.  Here are three lightweight and compact HDTVs from Insignia, Toshiba, and Samsung that can deliver quality playback at an ultra-affordable price – making them a smart addition for those smaller rooms which require a size-efficient media solution.

This year's Google I/O developer conference  held in San Francisco, didn't yield any new hardware or even a preview of the next  version of the Android OS. Google did focus on its key software features as well as an entirely new cross-platform Hangouts communications app.

It’s not easy to imagine big sound coming out of a small package, which is what Sony endeavours to deliver here with its wireless Bluetooth Speaker Ball. The SRS-BTV5, which is the product’s actual model number, is a bit like a baseball, except it’s lighter and much more colourful. It’s meant to be versatile, but what it outputs in sound is what makes it tough to listen the way you’d like to.

Gran Turismo 6, the next iteration of developer Polyphony Digital’s “Real Driving Simulator” franchise, will be coming to PlayStation 3 this holiday season, Sony Computer Entertainment announced yesterday.

At first glance, the palm-sized JVC Everio Premium HD Camcorder looks and feels quite similar to several other compact models in its price range – but a thorough trial revealed some surprising capabilities, including a high quality 29.3mm wide angle lens and an impressive slow motion mode. Let’s take a further look at the hardware which drives this portable and affordable digital video camera.

From acclaimed developer NetherRealm Studios comes Injustice: Gods Among Us, an all-new franchise in the fighting genre starring some of the most popular superheroes and villains from the DC Universe. The game features an original story from veteran DC Entertainment and comic book writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and is set in an alternate reality where the line between good and evil is blurred. Players will assume the role of a large roster of favourite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and many others.

You don't need a giant SLR, six lenses and five flashes for a trip to the park. Pack these five things and you'll get better shots.

The BlackBerry Z10 introduced the world to the new-look BlackBerry, ushering in a new era for the embattled company that will see it join the ranks of all-touch smartphones. But no one makes a keyboard quite like these guys do, and that’s why there was equal, if not more anticipation for the Q10, the BlackBerry 10 handset that comes with the legendary QWERTY keyboard. Can a phone that sacrifices screen size for hard keys stay current and compete against the best in the industry? Let’s find out.

In case you haven't noticed, the headphone/earphone market has exploded during the past few years. The selection of in-ear and on-ear earphones and headphones now runs the gamut of styles, prices and features. Many of these are now designed to work via Bluetooth or specifically with smartphones and other mobile devices.

Sony's new line of headphones for 2013 promises something for every type of scenario and user. We take a look at three headphones for different parts of your life.

Not everybody is a DJ, but it’s one of those things that most people appreciate in some way. Whether it’s dancing the night away in a nightclub or listening to a great set of tracks in your car, DJing seems to have become an art people are drawn to, and the power of smartphones today means you can do a little bit of it yourself. To be fair, the iRig Mix Mobile Mixer isn’t going to replace expensive DJ gear outright, but it is a good entry point into mixing tracks.

If you’ve got your eye on picking up either a Microsoft Surface RT or Surface Pro, you’re likely also going to be getting one of the optional keyboard covers offered for it. The big decision you’ll have to make is picking between the Touch Cover and the Type Cover. At a glance they can look pretty much the same but after using each for a few weeks, I now think of them both as dramatically different accessories.
