WD My Passport Ultra Review

Do you find that you constantly have to delete photos or forget to back up your files? Being a full time blogger and with two young children, I’m always taking photos and videos and my SD cards are always running out of memory!

Research by WD®, a Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC) company, reveals that over half (56%) of UK consumers have been forced to delete content from a technology device, due to capacity issues, and then have regretted doing so. Post Deletion Stress Disorder (PDSD) – which refers to consumers that delete content on impulse to make room for more pictures, videos and selfies – is only set to continue as consumer’s digital consumption habits start to exceed device storage capabilities. I often regret deleting it or regret not taking enough photos because of the lack of storage!

The research study, which was conducted with 1,000 UK consumers found that 7% are running out of storage on their mobile daily, 16% are reaching ‘full memory’ at least weekly and 1 in 3 (31%) run out of storage capacity at least monthly.

Photographs were found to take up the most storage capacity across a range of consumer devices, (29% within smartphones), while 44% admit they ‘don’t know’ what content is taking up storage capacity on their devices.

Over two fifths (44%) of those involved in the survey admitted to trying to manage on just 64GB of device storage. And despite 31% saying their device reaches full capacity at some point only a third (33%) of those with personal storage/back up technology, have invested in an external hard drive, connected via a cable. What’s more just 2% of those surveyed are using a paid cloud storage solution, and less than a fifth (16%) are taking advantage of a free cloud storage service.

TITAN Android Charger Cable Review

If all the phone manufactures supplied TITAN charging cables, life would be so much easier for pet owners, parents and many others! Let me explain – how many times have you accidentally yanked out your and damaged it, bent it the wrong way or maybe your pet chewed it, resulting in you needing to buy a replacement cable?

It has happened to me! I have had about three occasions where I’ve needed to buy replacement cables for it! I often leave my chargers cable plugged into an extension plug that is placed on the floor. One day, while I was vacuuming near it, the vacuum cleaner sucked it up and chewed it! Both my iPad cable and Android cable were both badly damaged. Also my children often walk near devices that are charging and will somehow pull it off the wall. On another occasion, my hamster came out of his cage and chewed my telephone cable.

Asus Reco Classic Car Dashcam Review

Not long ago, I mentioned that I would be reviewing this Asus Reco Classic Car Dashcam and this is what I think after two weeks of using it. Before I go into more details, let me recap on what is inside this box. It comes with a car camcorder, car charger, GPS mount holder on suction, self-adhesive mount holder, self-adhesive cable clips and instructions. Setting up is very straightforward. I do find it strange why they would provide two holders, one with GPS and one without. Instead, I think a neater solution would be to have the GPS built into the camcorder with an option to turn it off.

Skylanders SuperChargers iOS Review

Greetings to all Skylanders fans! Skylands needs your help! Kaos is back with his most diabolical scheme ever. He has constructed a powerful Doomstation, known as the Sky-Eater, and it is feeding The Darkness! Now you can defeat him using your iOS device with this portal and wireless controller.

Asus Reco Classic Car Dashcam

Have you ever been involved in a car accident and couldn’t remember the details, or ever get involved in a tussle with liability? Well I did. Recently, someone hit my car while he reversed out in the car park. Our insurance company said the third party had not admitted fault and asked if we could provide any additional evidence. I am so glad that we already had a dashcam installed and had footage to prove that the other party hit my car and that I was stationary. A relatively small investment that we made early last year has proved very useful.

We have now got our hands on the Asus Reco Classic Dashcam. Unboxing the Asus, an immediate difference here is that it has a built-in screen so you can see what you’re recording and it also allows playback. This is a really nice feature as our old dashcam required us to install an app on our smartphone if we wanted to see a live feed and make any physical adjustments (not while driving).

Philips Perfectcare Elite Iron Review

Love to iron without reading the labels and changing the settings? Then you must try out this Philips Perfectcare Elite Iron GC9600 Series! It can go straight from jeans to silk and it is guaranteed to not burn all ironable fabrics?

Ironing can be daunting and troublesome. I still remember how I used to switch the dial on the iron to get the right temperature. Not only that, but you would have to wait a while before you could move to a different fabric!

Vtech DigiGo Review

We are thrilled to be part of the Vtech DigiGo Ambassador Campaign with tots100 and over the next three months, I will bring you some interesting news from Vtech.

We have received this Vtech DigiGo which is a hand held smart device for children aged 3 to 7. Both my children are pretty tech savvy and within minutes they knew exactly how to play it. It’s also helpful that we do own an InnoTAB 2 which we’ve had for a few years now.

Besides the usual features like taking photo and videos, playing learning games and using the multimedia player, this Vtech DigiGo allows your child to send and receive text or voice messages, photos, drawing and much more with (parent-approved) family and friends’ smartphone using the built in wireless connection.

Inateck 2-Port Rapid Car Charger Review

I am a heavy user of my iPad so I bought a portable battery. Occasionally I do forget to bring the lightning cable with me though so I’ve not been able to charge it when I’ve been out. So I am delighted to to know that Inateck have this 2-Port Rapid Car Charger.

We are no stranger to Inateck! We use the HUB HB5001, Speaker and Bluetooth keyboard on a daily basis. They are reliable, easy to use and of course very useful! I’ve used these products for some time now and I’ve had no problems with them whatsoever.

Lazy Arm Review

Need a helping hand? Why not try out this Lazy Arm to free your hands for doing something else instead? This funky and functionally designed flexible smartphone holder can be clipped onto most surfaces except for anything overly thick like a thick wooden table. It works perfectly on my bedside drawers, kitchen top and desk! I am so pleased that I can watch the video at eye level and free my hands!

Lindy WHF-45 Wireless TV Headphones Review

Nowadays there are so many things that are wireless that makes our life so much easier than before. I still remember those days where I listen to music or watch television programme very close to the device as the headphones cable was very short.

Having wireless headphones means the world to me! As Mr C is working from home, I try to be considerate so I keep my music volume low or watch TV quietly while he is having meetings. However, with these Lindy WHF-45 Wireless TV headphones, I can have my audio on full blast! I don’t just use it to watch TV, I also use it with my iPad while doing gardening! How cool is that!
