Playstation Vita Review & Launch Event
This past Friday I got the opportunity to attend the Playstation Vita launch party in Toronto. I have had practically every single gaming system that Sony has produced, be it the original Playstation, PSP, PS2 and now the PS3, so I was very excited to see how the developers at Sony would top it off with their new entry into the hand held gaming segment. Sony has had a lot of success with gaming consoles and hand helds, but with mobile gaming seemingly taking over, Sony has a tall task ahead of it. The event gave us the opportunity to play with the Vita hands on, and these are my first impressions of it. Read more

Veho Pebble Portable Battery Pack Charger Review
The nature of my job is such that I am always on the move. Whether I am flying, on the train, in the car or on the bus, I am always travelling.

However, when I am on a long journey, without access to a power outlet my issue is that many of these devices only last for a couple of hours. That just isn’t long enough. The folks at Veho have come up with a solution to my problem. The Veho XT Pebble Portable Battery Pack Charger can store enough power to fully recharge most electronic devices up to four times.
