Review: The Acer Iconia Tab 8
The Acer Iconia A1 is an android tablet, with all the usual bells and whistles you’d expect from an android tablet – but with that hint of extra quality you always feel with Acer products. The Iconia didn’t go cheap when deciding on the materials to use but instead went for top quality materials for the best sleek look and solid feel. The smooth silver metal back adds premium appeal and makes this tablet durable enough to handle being...
Here it is – the GoPro Hero 3+ Review from our #GoProAdventures
I know, I know. The GoPro. If you have even heard of it, you know it is the camera that mad and stupid people strap to their heads when they throw themselves out of aeroplanes or glide through impossibly curly waves, yes? Well, yes. And no. It IS that thing, yes, absolutely. But.. it’s not ONLY that thing. As regular readers will know, a month or so ago we were picked along with just a handful of other bloggers to complete the...
Tech Stuff for Baffled parents – do you need to get the 3DS XL?
As a family we’re Nintendo fans, and for me the DS is my favourite of their consoles. My oldest had his first gameboy ten years ago, and still loves his latest incarnation – and our 7yr old received a 2DS for Christmas last year. They’re essential equipment on long journeys, sleepovers, and just for quiet times spent noodling about with each other in a quiet corner. And they’re rarely a solitary activity in...
It’s the LittleStuff #GoProAdventures Show. Careful. This camera may change your life.
A few weeks ago we were invited by GoPro to take part in a blogger’s challenge. Five families were invited; all working to complete a set of ten challenges using their new GoPro kit. And the winner? Oh, they get to go to the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado next summer… *squeak* We’re a pretty outdoors kind of family anyway; we spend as much time as we possibly can clambering up far-too-high hills and mountains to...
Razer Nabu, the wearable smartband that understands you by being with you.
A recent announcement by Razer has opened a gateway that I think all the major game developers are going to rush headlong through. We all know that a large portion of the gaming market is aimed at kids – and the chief buyer of those games is us parents. And what’s our biggest beef with video games? The fact that a child wants to be closeted up in a darkened room to play them all summer! But Razer, a world leader in...
Now THIS is a tablet… Asus Transformer Pad TF701T
This is the latest in ASUS’s tablet/laptop mashup, with the tablet having a detachable keyboard dock (with a second battery and extra ports). Naturally, as I do with the more serious tech reviews, after a quick peer and play I handed it straight over to the 15yr old gamer to put it through a far more rigorous test than my own Facebook/Hootsuite/Frozen Freefall would accomplish. Here’s what he had to say: We’ve reviewed...
