Turn your regular speaker into Bluetooth speaker with Vamp

Posted: 02 May 2013 10:25 PM PDT

Wireless speakers are great, especially if you want to keep your room nice and neat, but if you cannot afford a wireless speaker, today we have a device that will help you with that.

Today's device is called Vamp, and it will turn your regular old speaker into a Bluetooth speaker. Vamp is a small cube-shaped device that comes with a metal disc that allows you to attach it anywhere on your speaker, thus allowing you to stream music from any Bluetooth device such as your computer, tablet or smartphone. Although we're not completely sure how does Vamp work, we have to admit that it looks visually appealing, and that will certainly enhance your regular old speakers. As for the color, Vamp should be available in red, white or black shades.

Vamp is a useful device, especially if you don't want to buy Bluetooth speakers, and as for the availability, Vamp has reached its funding goal on Kickstarter, so we should see it available for sale soon enough.

Devotec Fuel: The smallest cellphone battery pack in the world

Posted: 01 May 2013 10:00 PM PDT

Running out of battery on your smartphone is such a bother, but luckily for you, today we have a compact charger that will extend the battery life of your smartphone.

Fuel comes from a company Devotec, and currently, it's the smallest cellphone charger in the world. Speaking of its small size, Fuel measures one inch in height and it's just half inch wide, so it's quite compact, and you can easily attach it to your keychain, or just put it in your pocket. However, due to its size, Fuel is limited when it comes to the battery life. We have to point out that Fuel won't recharge your cellphone completely, but it will be great if you need an emergency charge, and it can provide you with up to 30 extra minutes of battery life. This isn't that bad, considering the size and the fact that this device uses 5C lithium-ion 220mAh rated battery.

Fuel sounds like an interesting device that could be useful in emergency, however, Fuel is just a Kickstarter project, but it has reached its funding, so we should see it available soon enough.
