Video Review: New Trent IMP99D 9900 mAh External Battery
There are plenty of options when it comes to external batteries. If you’re a mobile device power user who needs to be able to recharge your device while on the go, away from an actual wall outlet, a good external battery is your answer. The key is finding one that is the proper balance of size vs. power based in what you need to recharge. Some batteries are specific to the iPhone. Others pack little power. The New Trent IMP99D is a beast of an external battery offering up 9900 mAh of recharging power. That’s enough to recharge 5 iPhones! It has the option to charge two USB powered devices at the same time and even works with the heavier power requirements of the iPad.

Video Review: Keep that Screen Clean with Products from Antec
Antec makes a wide range of product. That large selection even applies to their sub-category of offerings as well. The company makes three different types of screen cleaning solutions each with it’s own distinct characteristics.
Their Natural product is made from 100% natural ingredients and is eco-friendly. If you’re someone who is concerned about the environment and what effect processed chemicals have on it then this is the product for you. The Natural cleaner both cleans and protects your screen (iPhone, iPod, iPad, tablet, computer etc.)
Their 3X cleaner flat out cleans your device’s screen like nothing I’ve seen before. It not only cleanses your screen of oil and fingerprints but also frees it from any bacteria thanks to an extra antimicrobial add-on. The 3X cleaner also protects your screen by leaving a thin, undetectable layer behind.
Finally the Deep Cleaner is a gel which is meant to be applied once and a while for the times when you’ve just let your screen go. The thicker consistency of the gel allows it to reach every nook and cranny of the screen leaving you with a screen that looks as good as the day you took it out of the box.
All of the Antec cleaning products are drip free, which means you needn’t worry about it getting into any of the ports on your device either.
Sound good? Hit the jump to watch my video review of all three of the Antec Cleaning products mentioned in this video. Then head to the company’s web site here to learn more about them.

Video Review: Just Mobile AluPen
Has your iPad or iPad 2, or any other touch screen enabled device for that matter, replaced your old-school yellow notepad? If you do a lot of handwriting on your touch screen device you’ve probably struggled with getting your writing down legibly using only your finger. A stylus is great way to make sure your handwriting is accurate. It also maximizes the amount of text you can enter on one page too. There are plenty of styli to choose from but one of my personal favorites happens to be the Just Mobile AluPen. Made from aluminum and available in eight color options the AluPen is not your average dime-strore stylus. It’s thick and feels great in the hand while you’re using it.
Check out my video review above and then head here to learn more about the AluPen.

I’ve seen some pretty amazing art work created just with an iPad and I’ll be we’ll see some even cooler stuff once artists begin using the Pogo Sketch Pro.

Review: Primary Case Stylus for Touch Screen Enabled Devices
I know there are a lot of people out there who like to use a stylus with their touch screen enabled device. Whether or not it’s because they’re hold outs from the Palm Pilot days or because they just can’t bear to see fingerprints on their screens is anyone’s guess. The problem I’ve always had with using a stylus is not the using part but rather the transportation part. Most styli come in the form of a full sized pen. This means I either have to carry it in my shirt pocket, pocket protector geek style or in my gear bag. I’m not one for carrying pens in my pocket and if it’s in my gear bag chances are I won’t use it often because it won’t be easily accessible. The Primary Case Stylus is different. The way it locks on to your device means it’s always at hand’s reach ready to save your screen from fingerprints.
How does it work? Read on for the full review.
