Charge your devices with the myCharge Powerbank line (6000mAh for PHP 5,490.00)

With the proliferation of smartphones as a daily necessity, the one resource that users do want to have more of is battery life. With an iPhone 4s lasting for about 5-8 hours with data turned on, and your average Android smartphone going for about 8 hours, a full charge will barely get you through lunch time. There are many charging solutions out there but today I’d like to show off the Powerbank line. Available in 2000mAh, 3000mAh and 6000mAh models (that’s how much juice the pack contains), the top of the line model allows you to fully charge a smartphone about 3 1/2 to 4 times.

• Built-in Apple®, Micro USB and Mini USB connectors , charging cables and on-board USB port allow you to charge hundreds of devices
• Experience 24 more hours of talk time (3G), 34 more hours of WiFi, up to 34 more hours of video or up to 137 hours of music
• LED battery power indicator

Pricing:

2000mAh model PHP 2,990
3000nAh model PHP 4,490
6000mAh model PHP 5,490

From this price scale, you can clearly see that the top of the line model is the choice pick as you get twice as much charge compared to the mid-ranged model for PHP 1,000 more.

Lacie Porsche P’9220 runs on USB 3.0, protected by 3mm of aluminum

P9220 500GB = PHP 5,490.00
P9220 1TB = PHP 8,890.00

If you haven’t taken a sip from the Thunderbolt kool-aid and still believe in good old USB 3.0, have a look at this beauty, Lacie P’9220 available in both 500GB and 1TB. Lacie is known to be the most elegant in design among the storage manufacturers. This one is no exception.

For those who want a speed comparison between the “standard” USB 2.0, relatively new USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt, here you go:

USB 2.0 = 35MB to 40MB per second
USB 3.0 = 400MB to 700MB per second
Thunderbolt = 1GB per second

Although slightly slower than Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 is still amazingly fast and slightly more affordable. That’s essentially transferring a standard 8GB HD video in about 10-15 seconds.

Remember the Trapper Keeper? Griffin *kinda* reinvents it for the iPad.

Remember the Trapper Keeper? You were cool if you had one. Well this is a nostalgic visit into the cooler days of school, thanks to Griffin. Although it doesn’t come in funky designs (yes we know it HAD to have great doodle art to be a real Trapper Keeper), it still brings back the nostalgia in all high-tech 2012 style.

OK fine, it’s a 3-ring binder attachment for your iPad.

The binder fits both the 2nd and 3rd generation iPad, which fits into the 3-ring binder. You can definitely customize everything inside with notes and pens and such.

The binder is compatible to both lefties and right handed geeks and weighs only 3.7 ounces. It adds half an inch of thickness to your 3-ring binder.

You can order your 3-ring binder insert for iPad for USD $24.99 from the Griffin Store.

Underwater with the Samsung Galaxy Note (by Jun Lao)

As water geeks, we tend to want to find creative ways of bringing our gadgets underwater. Take for instance the iPod nano underwater solution with H20 Audio. Yesterday, dive buddy (and awesome UW photographer) Jun Lao tagged me in a Facebook photo he took in Anilao of a submerged Samsung Galaxy Note made waterproof with an underwater bag from Jovic.

And I quote,

“galaxy note gone diving, no signal after 2 ft, touch screen doesnt work after 5ft, max 32ft using a php100 uw bag”

Thanks, Jun!
