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.

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.

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.

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.

All in one printers are in my opinion always a great addition to any home, office or home-office. I’ve been spending some time checking out the HP LaserJet Pro 100 all in one printer lately and putting it through its paces to see if it is worth recommending. It forgoes fax functionality and automatic duplexing but the trade-off is that it is fairly compact, and has great connectivity potential.

Haunted by the events of the Avengers, sleepless Tony Stark throws himself into a relentless cycle of fear of the unknown and preparation for the next big event. When the terrorist known as the Mandarin comes to town with a "lesson" to teach and hurting the people he cares about, Iron Man swears an oath of revenge. What ensues is a battle that will rock the foundations and bring Tony to his knees.

Smartphone hype is no longer reserved for just one company anymore. There was plenty of anticipation for Samsung’s Galaxy S4, especially since this was the phone all other Android flagships would be measured up against. It had some big shoes to fill with its predecessor, but is there enough in this phone to not only make it the best Android phone available, but also better than any other smartphone on the market?

If you’re super into PC gaming, it can be tough finding a mobile solution to fit your needs. There are a bunch of purpose built gaming notebook PCs out there but a lot of them are brutish hulks that will be a chore to handle if you plan to carry them around much. They’re technically portable but not practically for the frequent gamer on the go. The Eurocom Monster 1.0 is very different. They designed it in such a way that you don’t have to sacrifice real notebook portability for performance. It's not extremely heavy, or bulky. You can’t tell by lifting it or looking at it that it is a true gaming machine, in fact. Its humble exterior houses pretty hard-core specs which are more than enough for working on the go, and well suited for whatever gaming you want to throw at it.

The Philips InRange Smart Leash uses Bluetooth technology to alert you when your InRange and iPhone are not in range of each other.  If you're worried about someone walking off with your iPhone or purse, the Philips InRange Smart Leash will put you at ease.

It might be fair to say that the HTC One is an Android phone like you’ve never seen before — literally. The aluminum body, Gorilla Glass and hard plastic trim are a winning combination that easily makes this the most elegant Android smartphone ever made. It’s an admirable distinction to have, even if the competition hasn’t pushed the envelope much with plastic bodies. But good looks don’t always mean a great experience, and that’s the real combination HTC looks to deliver with the One.

If picture quality and flexibility are important to you, typical PC monitors just may not be cutting it for you. Enter the world of super high definition monitors and things get much more interesting. These days you can get your hands on monitors like the Asus PB278 which really give you much more impressive visuals with finer details. These are high performance screens that make every pixel count, so everything looks as sharp as possible.

The Jawbone UP is a stylish wristband that is worn to track fitness activity and sleeping patterns. The fitness and activity tracker syncs with iOS products, to help you meet your fitness goals.

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.

Adobe Photoshop is the preeminent photo-editing software and platform in the world today. Everyone knows that. And the word “Photoshop” has even become a verb to describe edited images. Photoshop moved to the iPad and Android tablets last year, and most recently came to the iPhone and iPod Touch and Android smartphones. The app is fairly deep and intuitive on smaller screens, but keeping your expectations reasonable should ensure that you’re better prepared to deal with its challenges.

We’ve already introduced you to the basics of the chromebook concept. If it sounded like something you might be interested in, you’ll be happy to know that now the Samsung Chromebook will be available through Future Shop so you won’t have to keep waiting if you want to be the first kid on the block to get your hands on one.
