Sharing media files and content with mobile devices isn’t always an easy task. The Kingston MobileLite Wireless is a compact Wi-Fi device that aims to simplify file sharing while on the go and provide additional storage for devices with limited memory.

Instead, it has a USB port and a built-in SD card reader that allows the user to plug in their own USB flash drives and microSD/SD memory cards. It also doubles as an external battery pack, capable of charging your mobile devices. Could the MobileLite Wireless be an ideal mobile travel companion? Read on to find out.

The WNDR4720 houses a full-sized internal 2TB mechanical hard disk that provides instant network storage for backups, file sharing, and streaming media.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks now for my videos and have finally sat down to lay out my thoughts about it.

Jabra hasn’t been known for having a solid lineup of headphones. Instead, it’s made a name for itself through Bluetooth headsets for cellphones.

Here’s what I think about the new headphones.

Logitech was kind enough to send me a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboad Cover for the iPad mini for review. I thoroughly enjoyed using Logitech’s full size keyboard for the bigger iPad, so naturally I was excited to see how Logitech would shrink down my favorite Bluetooth keyboard and still make it enjoyable to use.
