    Review: The Flipside Wallet 2.0

    Posted on September 25, 2009 | No Comments
    Wallets are a very personal thing. Generally speaking, once you find one you like, you stick with that one until it wears out, and then spend weeks trying to find a replacement that's the same style, only to realize that they don't make them anymore, and you're going to have to find something else. This was my dilemma, so when I was asked to review the Flipside Wallet, I was a little dubious about how well I would like it, given how particular I am.

    Video Review: Case-Mate Barely There

    It's $29.99, it's thin, and it can hold two credit cards. It's the Case-Mate Barely There ID case. I've always wanted to stop carrying a wallet and I'm not sure this is quite the solution I'm looking for but it may work for those who just need one credit card and driver's license at all times. If only they added a big old money clip in there or maybe a special wallet just for special stuff? Sadly, you'll never be able to be as bad ass as this with an iPhone in a plastic case. Two videos after the jump.

    mmhmmm. Leica’s got our number. That’s for sure. We love ourselves some retro rangefinders and it looks like the next two Leica digicams will follow that style. These pics came from two Flickr pages that were eventually pulled. If the specs listed turn out to be correct, a lot of shutterbugs are going to max [...]

    The Palm Pre has taken a lot of heat for its limited App Catalog, which, months after the launch of the device and its respective SDK, still only contains roughly 30 applications. It’s easy to look at the numbers and forget the backstories; the iPhone went a whole year and entire model before they even [...]
