I Review Electronics

Last month HP announced a massive price drop on their HP Touchpad tablet. This created madness that created a Black Friday-like atmosphere around retailers who had the item in stock. One day, nobody wanted one. The next, everyone was trying to nab one. The lucky ones nabbed the 16 GB model for just $99.99. Quite the drastic drop from its original $499.99 retail value.

The reason why HP canned the HP Touchpad was due to low sales. These low sales were because this tablet should have never been priced at $499.99. That’s what the Apple iPad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy cost. Those came with iOS and Android, respectively. The HP Touchpad had the app-less webOS. What the frenzied sales showed was, if anything, that HP didn’t create an inferior product, it just priced it wrong.

The HP TouchPad is a tablet from Hewlett Packard that is a direct competitor to the iPad 2. But will their relatively new webOS be able to compete with iOS and Android? That question remains up in the air, but for now let’s get an in depth look at the HP TouchPad.

The first thing you notice is the screen, which is 9.7 inches with a 1024×768 resolution display. In the front there is also a front facing 1.3 megapixel webcam ideal for live video calling.

Here’s the rundown on the highly popular, stylish and pricey ($129.99) Jawbone ERA bluetooth headset made by Aliph. Let’s get right to the specs on this stunning bluetooth headset.

Ultimately you want your headset to allow you to hear in any circumstance.

This technology eliminates background noise and auto adjusts the call volume based on your current surrounding environment. But it’s not just that you can hear, it’s how good you hear it.

I bought the Joby Gorillapod SLR GP2 for using in my photography. I had done some research on the product before I bought it and found that people were concerned about the strength of the tripod.

The Gorillapod SLR is designed for use with lightweight SLR cameras and camcorders weighing up to 800g. This is where the reviews were failing; the cameras that they mentioned were all heavy SLR cameras certainly heavier than 800g.

The tripod comes complete with flexible joints that bend and rotate though 360 degrees which help you to form the perfect shape on any ground. The Gorillapod SLR has sturdy legs and an integrated bubble level, having the bubble level helps to get a steady shot in any environment. There is nothing worse than getting a good shot and then having to digitally edit it to be straight.

I wanted to share this retro looking clock with you today. I figure this type of item can make the perfect gift for the person who has everything, because they probably don’t have something like this.

It’s a stylish faux retro clock that would look good sitting on anyone’s desk. This auto flip clock is gear operated with flip down minute and hour display. It flips every 60 seconds. The base, spine and frame are made of metal while the flip down number swatches are made from durable acrylic. You’ll need one D battery to keep it running.
