How would you like to be able to call and track your young child by a press of a button to give you peace of mind? Sound like a great right? Indeed! LG KizON are finally coming to UK and we are amongst the first in the UK to try it on!

This LG KizON is a wearable designed (pink & blue) exclusively for pre-school and primary school children that gives you a simple and convenient way to communicate with your child. This has been designed specifically for children to wear on their wrists to be used as a direct communication device with their parents and guardians. My 7 year old son was very impressed and he thinks this looks like a ‘spy’ watch. Instead of holding a phone next to his ear, he can easily communicate by talking to his ‘watch’! His friends were impressed and they all wanted to press the call button to make a phone call. So yes, I have received a lot of missed calls from him and his friends trying to work out this cool gadget!

Need to protect your smartphone from water? Splash might be your solution. I have recently received this spray which creates a water resistant barrier around your phone, stopping the water from penetrating the device and attacking the delicate components inside.

Ageing is one of those inevitable things in life and as we do so, I find I pay more attention to my family’s health and well-being more than ever. Last year, Mr C and I made a resolution to walk around our estate for 30 minutes each day during lunch time, weather permitting, and we achieved a little each day. But we didn’t have any measure of how beneficial this was for us, such as how many calories this was burning and we didn’t know how many steps we did either.

Having a keyboard is always very useful if you have a small screen like a mobile phone or mini iPad. Personally, I find even using a full size iPad quite annoying sometimes that the keyboard fills up half of the screen. This means that most of the time, I am not able to scroll up to see what is covered by it.

Having new products is not always great as it can mean incompatibility problems with older products. For example, I always have to bring my big and chunky iPad charger along as it does not charge when it is connected on my laptop. Also, I have had my laptop for over three years now and the internal fan alone is not enough to keep my laptop cool. So I had bought a laptop cooler and a mini fan to keep my laptop from overheating. This also means that I don’t have any spare USB ports when I need to charge my phone or plug my USB stick in!

My next solution is to get a hub that does fast charging for iPad and Android phones. Inateck has this Inateck Hub HB5001 which is equipped with both a 5V 4A power supply and built-in surge protection, 4 Port USB 3.0 + 1 fast charging port (5V 2A) for SamSung tablets, iPad and smartphones etc.
