My experience with BlitzWolf VR
Hi there,
I’d like to tell you about my experience with BlitzWolf VR. First of all, I want to say that I liked it.
Let’s check advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:
Comfortable elastic band to fix the helmet on the head
Controllers of phone distance and between eyes space for good focus
Fixings on magnets
Option to open the camera
Disadvantages:
Not very high-quality mechanisms to control distance phone
Not very convenient fastening for the phone (I used Nexus 5X)
The kit consists of extra elastic band for fixtures, 2 manuals and a napkin to wipe the lens and the phone's screen.
Now comes the most interesting part.
How will you entertain yourself?
I picked up 8 interesting games and 2 applications. I can highlight 3 games: InCell VR, Lamper VR, VR Bike. They are the most simple in control. As for applications, Reality Hack which allows you to use the camera as an eye and Intugame VR allows you to broadcast your computer screen on the phone in BlitzWolf VR.
To sum up, I want to say that everyone was satisfied. It is fun to use it on your own as well as play games with friends.

For the most part I think MS did a great job in setting high-quality standards for their first gen phones and I'm very satisfied with my Focus. But the greedy power-nerd in me wishes the phones came with HDMI-output.
I'm a little confused as to why MS would leave this out actually. It is coming standard on a lot of high-end phones now. Unless they plan to use the Xbox 360 as an AirPlay-like streaming box (I don't know if you can do that as of now because I don't own one), how does MS expect to offer a competing video out feature?
I remember hearing a story about how MS was planning to introduce a USB-out feature and if they do that would be great because it would be cheaper than the ripoff third party HDMI docks. But I'm worried it won't be able to match up to HDMI's quality.
Anyway, I know this isn't a big deal and it shouldn't be at the top of the fixes/additions list for MS. But can you blame a guy who recently got a 50-inch? I want to use the damn thing for something besides football!
EDIT: I found the PocketNow article about USB A/V out. http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/report-microsoft-bringing-microusb-a-v-out-to-windows-phone-7
they miss a standard IO port for using external addons hardware too

Since the dawn of the smart phone, these little power houses are crammed with more processor speeds and memory than a desktop computer.
All the while, these little hot suckers are totally dependent on 'PASSIVE' cooling.
Right now, i'm sporting a very stylish T-Mobile G2 from HTC. I use my phone for everything under the sun. I'm thinking about using it for frying my eggs for a meal, because sometimes, my little phone get so HOT while using it for navigation, and various other tasks that tax the battery and GPS, it's almost unbearable to touch.

I purchased a mobile phone holder for my bike (ON AMAZON HERE) which works EXCELLENT! Except, its not allowing my phone to breath. I like the fact it's weather proof, but at a price of a over-heated device.
I'm thinking about hacking this case, and installing a small CPU fan attached to a solar panel for power. Which I would have to drill holes in the front somewhere to allow the air to flow over my phone.
I wish someone can make a case out of heat dispersion technology found with something like what they sell here. http://thermapak.com/
Any links to another product or any ideas?

This is my video review of the Nyko Playpad pro. http://youtu.be/9jIK56-NbHU
Initially I thought this was a fairly good controller but after a few weeks over ownership I no longer feel the same. I will do my best to list the pros and cons of this device.
Pros -
Feels nice in the hands and reminds me of an xbox 360 controller
Rechargeable via a micro usb cable
Has a soft touch coating so it feels really comfortable in hand.
Analog sticks work well
Cons -
Picks up grease from your finger tips easily
Is a nightmare to pair and at times I had to restore my Nexus 7 tablet just to get it work
Controls don't feel as tight or lag free like the PowerA Moga controller
Software that was released with the controller is buggy and in beta
works with Ipad but only has icade support (I'd almost it rather it didn't work
Summary
Overall I can't recommend the Moga Playpad Pro. While it has a solid construction, the pairing issues and horrible software given with this device will leave you with a headache rather than enjoying the games your suppose to.
Hi all,
I just finished reviewing the iPega PG-9025 Bluetooth Gamepad for Android and iOS. It mimics the Xbox 360 gamepad layout, and also has a set of media buttons allowing volume control, play/pause and skip.

The iPega PG-9025 is pretty impressive, particularly its diverse compatibility. Those using several platforms will be well looked after. The controller was fairly comfortable and performed really well, even though it is let down slightly by some odd button placements. Its perfect for Android users wanting portable gaming or a cheap wireless controller for their mini PC. iOS users are trickier however. Fans of iCade games are well served, but those who desire future compatibility may need to look at the (admittedly far more expensive) MFI controllers.
I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
Thanks to Tmart for providing me a sample to review. You can get one from them here. Use coupon "g9ivogdh" to get it for $23.99.

Hi,
I've seen a lot of people struggling with S Pen holders for their cases. The cases that come with pen loops normally have magnets that interfere with the S Pen writing experience. And the non-folio cases typically don't have pen holders.
So I decided to make my own. The inspiration was Samsung's own Tab Active 2.
Step 1:
Buy the standard Leuchtturm pen loop. Or any other similar brand.

}
Step 2:
Cut the non-loop part as shown below
Step 3:
Insert into the Top right speaker slot of the case. I'm using the i-Blason hard case
Step 4:
Slide in the pen!
This system has been working perfectly for me for the past 6 months. And I much prefer having the pen near the top of the tablet than on the side with traditional loops. Makes it much easier to slider the tablet into a sleeve and looks much better aesthetically (IMHO)
Let me know what you folks think..

Neat!
Smart. Thanks for the great idea!
