Why You Should Upgrade Your Memory Card When Buying a New Phone (Transcend 600X MicroSD Review)!

It’s something we don’t often think of, but after using a phone for a couple years, and buying a new one, many of us will just yank out our old SD Card and pop it into our brand new phones. As phones have become more powerful, we might also want to consider upgrading our cards when upgrading our phones.

Transcend sent us a new Class 10 UHS-1 MicroSD card to run a speed test!

App Review – Pako by Tree Man Games

pakohdr

Pako sounds like it could be a board game, but is it? Nope! Pako is a super fun and crazy addicting game that involves the cops and you. Yes you!

wp_ss_20140630_0007The action begins with you in a parking lot in a car and yet for some reason you are going to be chased down by the cops! I hope you have some drifting skills because you will need them and by the way, you have no brakes. No brakes at all! If you crash into a building, a tree, a car or any other object, the game starts again. The object of the game is to see how long you can survive without crashing or being caught by the cops.

App Review: UPS has landed on Windows Phone!

Screenshot_13It looks like another official app has been added to the growing number of apps for Windows Phone users.  UPS has arrived! The UPS app should be super useful for those running a small and big business or for when Some Gadget Guy sends out prizes to contest winners!

The design of the app has a modern UI and the familiar brown and gold UPS branding. You can sign in with Facebook, MYUPS ID or you can just skip the sign in and get down to tracking your packages.  The UPS app also gives you the option of requesting a quote for shipping and will let you pick your preferred method of shipment such as UPS Overnight to UPS ground and everything in between. The UPS app lets you choose your packaging from a tube  all the way to the large UPS  Express Box. Are you shipping an oddball sized box? The UPS app has you covered in that department as well! Just enter the box dimensions while requesting your quote.

Longterm Review: RAVPOWER Lipstick Charger and Flashlight

003I use this everyday for all of my gadgets and the Ravpower is always in my backpack or messenger bag ready to charge my device.  On one occasion, while riding my bike super-fast like Evil Knievel, I pulled the Ravpower out of my pocket to use the flashlight, as the headlight on my bike had run out of juice, and I dropped the Ravpower! NOOOOOO! It went skidding across the street kind of like that flat stone you skipped across the lake in the summer. It missed certain destruction from a car by about a foot or so.  I thought to myself  “Self, I have a feeling it’s done…” Continue reading “Longterm Review: RAVPOWER Lipstick Charger and Flashlight”
