A new App favorite for the iPad: Chuggington: Terrific Trainee!

by Wendy Wick on November 11th, 2011

Chuggington: Terrific Trainee! Is a fun and easy-to-use iPad app for our little pre-school Choo-Choo aficionados. Elijah, my nearly four-year old all-things-trains expert was thrilled from the launch icon onwards. “Trains!” he exclaimed and tapped the app before we were even seated with the iPad safely balanced on our legs.

The app launches with a catchy tune and the choice between ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ and again, I didn’t even get the chance to guide his choice. He went with ‘easy’ because it was blue.

Now the big choices…do we ride the rails with Wilson, Brewster, Koko or Action Chugger? Eventually we ride them all on challenging missions! Elijah keeps sneaking in ‘one more round’ because he wants to ride all the trains. Each train takes you along the rails at a brisk pace and you have to have to tap traffic cones so the engines can jump them or drag your finger between rails lines so they can change rails and avoid obstacles. Each engine has it own unique animation and responds humorously to bumping and jumping the cones which amuses Elijah immensely. Continue Reading…

Win an iPad for You, LeapPad for Kids…

by Wendy Wick on June 27th, 2011

Parents…you say you want an iPad? Well Leapfrog wants to give you one….and give your kids a LeapPad too. Just go to the Leapfrog Facebook page and follow the easy instructions by July 15^th.

Tell Leapfrog about your tech-toddler travesties and the three best stories will win. Did your son flush your phone because you said ‘it was dead’ when the battery drained? Did your daughter try to share her breakfast with grandma via a Face Time conversation by placing your new iPhone 4 in her Cheerios? Or do you have a heart wrenching ‘shattered screen’ story of comforting your child from the ‘oops it broke, mommy’ after the slip of your new tablet onto the kitchen floor.

Share your technology tales-of-woe. Laugh, cry and commiserate with other parents who have been there with you…you have nothing to lose and an iPad and LeapPad to win!

Surround Sound Around Town with the SRS iWOW 3D

by Wendy Wick on May 19th, 2011

The SRS iWOW 3D seriously enhances the listening experience on the iPhone, iPad and iPod. I put this four-inch audio attachment to the test by launching Netflix on my iPad 2 and loading the most recently played item in my queue, The Pink Panther. I could feel little Inspector Jacques Clouseau rolling his smooth nasal french R’s! I was surprised at the difference in the sound clarity with and without the iWOW. It was easy to experiment with since the gadget has a handy little “wow me!” on/off button. Off to a bigger sound experience…I plug my Skull Candy Smokin’ ear buds into the iWoW on iPhone, launch episode 12 of Heroes and absorb the theme song resonating through my body. I am so immersed that I don’t hear my doorbell ringing and my girlfriend has to text me to get my attention…Oops.

Protect Your iPad

by Cecilia Daclan on June 15th, 2010

I tested three products designed to protect your iPad in various ways. First I tried out the Speck Shield View, which sells for $24.95. It comes in a 2 pack, and it’s supposed to stick to your iPad screen perfectly, protecting it from scratches and smudges. Getting it on the iPad was fairly easy. The product comes with instructions on how to get it on smoothly. However, once I peeled the backing to expose the protective film, a couple bubbles showed up that I couldn’t remove. Granted, they were just two small bubbles on the edges, but bubbles are still annoying. I give it a B for application and an A- for preventing fingerprint smudges.

Review: Pogo Stylus for your iPhone

by Nina Pena on April 13th, 2010

When I found out I would be getting a new review for cutegeek I wrote on my Facebook that I was getting a Pogo Stylus for iPhones. My cousin then commented on my status…

Cousin: I miss my Pogoball…

My reply: Man I wish someone would send me that to review…with a counter of how long I could go…genius!

Cousin: counters…geez, you’re SO digital!

I know my cousin was probably being sarcastic but he made a good point. Every day I am always thinking of technology and how I can make something not digital into a digital product. Is there a flower pot that has a digital reminder so you don’t kill you plants? If not I should patent this! OR is there a waterproof blue tooth headset that you can use in the shower/ swimming/ rain for those times when you are on eternal hold or boring conference calls and need to multi-task yet not say a word?

by Nina Pena on April 13th, 2010

I think I am the last person on the planet that doesn’t have an iPhone and I have no idea what I am waiting for…Oh I know a day job:-). I asked all my iPhone friends if I could test the iSkin solo SE/ solo FX out on theirs and my friend Aziz from Cabana Networks kindly volunteered. Aziz also has an iPad so stay tuned for a review on the iPad and the accessories that I have been receiving.
