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.

With the weather starting to show signs of spring (more in some places than others, of course), it won’t be long before camping season really takes off. Now, “roughing it” may imply that you keep your gadgets away from the outdoors, but there are apps meant to help you enjoy your time away from the daily grind.

Though it’s not exactly the same experience, iOS users can rejoice in knowing that Google Now, the personal assistant, search and voice activation suite, is now freely available on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The 3.0 update of the free Google Search app was released today after weeks of rumours, and features almost everything offered in the Android version of Now.

Spring cleaning season does not just mean getting the garden, basement, and garage ready for summer.

Your gadgets could use a good dusting too, especially once you discover what sort of bacteria they're harbouring.

Ever heard of Qwerty Tummy?  You don't want to hear of it.

Here's how to clean your phones, keyboard, towers, laptops, and screens:

If you own an iPad, the two best accessories you can get to enhance your experience are a case, and a keyboard. I have recently been spending some time with the ZAGGkeys PROfolio+ Keyboard for second, third and fourth generation iPads. Not only does this accessory give you a solid case, and keyboard combination, but it does so with a little panache.

SkyDrive, Microsoft's Cloud backup and storage app has now been updated for all iOS devices and features added support for the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini.

It’s already widely known that Vevo is the go-to app for watching music videos on a smartphone or tablet, but what if you wanted to watch music videos based on songs you have in your own collection? MusicTV is a neat little app that does just that; it scours YouTube and plays a music video that matches the song you’re playing.

If you are a fan of comic books, and Marvel Comics, in particular, you might be interested in a short-lived promotion currently going on through the company’s site and mobile apps. Until tomorrow at 11PM EST, Marvel is giving readers 700 different comics for free, all of which are the first issue for almost every series Marvel has come out with. This means you can download and read the first appearances of most characters in the Marvel universe without paying a dime. After Tuesday, they’ll range from $1.99 to $3.99 per issue.

The big game, Super Bowl XLVII, is tomorrow where we see if the explosive San Francisco 49ers or Cinderella Baltimore Ravens emerge victorious. This is the one NFL game of the season that brings together a whole whack of people to eat a lot of comfort food and gaze at a screen — any screen — that will show the game and the commercials that go with it. Amid all the hoopla surrounding this, there are apps you can tap into while watching as well.

Funky photo editing apps seem to pop out all the time in Apple’s App Store, but that isn’t always the case for video, which is why Game Your Video piqued my interest. This app offers some basic editing, but is more of a standout for the filters and effects it offers in turning a video into something far more interesting. For $0.99, it’s worth every penny.

Belkin showcased the next stage in the evolution of its WeMo home control system by now making it possible to turn wall light switches on or off when you’re away from home. The current model available can do it for lamps and devices that are plugged into a power outlet, but this would mark the first time that WeMo can actually integrate with a home’s existing wiring. In addition to this announcement, the company also said an Android WeMo app is coming this summer.

If you’ve ever felt your iPad was missing more of a booming audio presence, Belkin is looking to scratch that itch with its Thunderstorm case, which the company says is “the first handheld home theatre” for the tablet. With a hard, tight-fitting design, and stereo speakers along the side, the Thunderstorm also features the ability to direct the audio out to you depending on if you’re watching alone or with someone else.

Withings will be coming out with a new smart scale that will measure not only your weight and body mass index, but also your heart rate and the carbon dioxide (CO2) inside your bedroom to help you better understand why you may have trouble sleeping. The data is shared with a free iOS or Android app, as well as other third-party fitness apps, over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to give you a snapshot of how you’re doing and what it means.

Geonaute, a company based in France, was showing off its new POV action camera on the show floor, and it may be one of the more intriguing gadgets to come out this year. It has three lenses that capture everything from a 360-degree angle, and you can choose which direction you want to view as you’re watching it later on an iPad or big screen TV.

Ion is a company known for making smartphone and tablet accessories that are a little unusual, but plenty of fun. The Party Rocker is a big standing speaker that can play music wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled music player or via a standard 3.5mm line-in cable. The light at the top projects lights like a disco ball onto the walls and ceiling of a room, and can change the colours and patterns based on the beat of the music you’re playing. There’s also a microphone for those who want to go all-out and start singing along.
