Droid RAZR HD by Motorola

Much like HTC’s Droid DNA, the Droid RAZR HD by Motorola is another smartphone to hit the market recently that may be just what you’re after.

It certainly offers a lot with its 4.7″ Super Amoled HD screen (a tad smaller than the Droid DNA if that’s what you want) along with its 1.5 GHz dual-core processor capable of all your demands, from capturing stunning videos and photos to streaming online content and high-intensity games. With all that in mind, however, the battery life is surprisingly capable with a promised 24 hours of performance possible.

The device looks sleek and stylish as you’d expect with its reinforced case consisting of Corning® Gorilla™ glass and DuPont™ KEVLAR® fiber. It’s also Global ready, meaning you’ll be able to make calls and texts from more than 205 countries around the world.

We’re only scratching the surface of what this thing can do, so lets just say it’s certainly worth considering.

Drift HD Ghost

If you’re an extreme sports junkie determined to capture your feats on film, things just got a whole lot easier.

The Drift HD Ghost promises an intuitive user experience for capturing stunning footage and photography in-action and, unlike other point of view cameras that require aftermarket accessories to truly get what you’re after, includes everything you need right out the box.

A particularly cool feature is the industry-first two-way LED remote control that allows you to control the camera from up to 10 meters away. You can switch between taking still photos and motion footage on the fly and also stop and start recording from a distance – great for saving memory and battery life.

The integrated 2-inch LCD screen consists of Gorilla Glass®, which ensures it remains scratch-free through even the harshest terrain, and the whole device is waterproof.

The camera can also sync wirelessly with your smart phone via WiFi, meaning you can transfer the days footage over in a breeze.

Like we said, it’s everything you’ll need.

Droid DNA by HTC

If you’re in the market for a new smartphone then the Droid DNA by HTC should definitely be a contender.

As you’d expect, it’s packed with features – most notably the whopping 5-inch screen with 1080p HD display. This undoubtedly makes the phone quite big but gives you the luxury of crisp and clear images at a generous size, from gameplay and movie footage to video chat in full HD.

The quad-core processor gives more power for all your demands allowing for faster streaming, smoother gameplay, and all round easier multi-tasking. The included Beats Audio feature helps your playlists come alive with unmatched sound quality.

Running on Android 4.1 and Jelly Bean, the Droid is also fully integrated with Google Now, which presents you with the information you need – be it traffic reports, train schedules, or sports scores – before you even know you need it.

If this sounds like the sort of thing you’re after, the Droid DNA is destined to be your next companion.

Jack Daniel’s Unaged Rye Whiskey

Good news whiskey lovers! Arriving in stores across the U.S. early next year (or this December in Tennessee) will be Jack Daniel’s new “White Dog” unaged rye whiskey.

Made with a combination of 70 percent rye, 18 percent corn, and 12 percent malted barley the drink will be a first from the Jack Daniel’s distillery since the Prohibition Era.

And don’t be concerned about the unusual color. The “white” appearance typically comes about as a result of the maturation process and the type of cask that’s used to age it. We’re not sure how much it really affects the taste, but it sure looks cool.

They’re experimenting with an aged rye, too, but there’s no definitive news on that at this point. For now, you’ll just have to make do with all of the bite that the “White Dog” brings. Fortunately, that’s a lot.

Incase EO Travel Collection

This awesome collection of travel gear is designed for the traveler who, in the manufacturers’ own words, is “defined by simplicity and connectivity.” With that in mind we think they’ve nailed it on the head.

If indeed you are someone rather dependent on connectivity while also being a great appreciator of more minimalist designs then these cases were built with you in mind.

Along with a duffel bag and backpack for shorter stays there are the larger cases with a range of useful features including a polycarbonate shell for withstanding impact, internal mesh and organizer pockets to keep everything tidy, and even pockets designed especially for Apple products like the MacBook or iPad.

If needed the main compartment of each case can expand by 35% giving you extra space only when you need it, and the top tech compartment opens out flat allowing you to sail through airport scanning with ease.

They’re thoughtfully designed, well made, and look great.

Quad Lock™ Mounting System

If you’re like most people with a smartphone, you use it for everything: as a SatNav while driving, an alarm clock while sleeping, a shopping list while shopping, and a scorecard while playing sports. The list goes on. You may even use it for the odd phone call too.

As such, there are probably times you wish you could harness your device in a fixed position, be it on your bike, on the dashboard of your car, or generally harnessed to a wall somewhere allowing your hands to remain free.

Other solutions are bulky or require you to remove your smartphone from an existing case, the exact annoyances that Quad Lock™ avoids. Instead, The Quad Lock™ system features a sleek protective case for use all the time, which then attaches to wherever you’ve positioned your mount.

Mounts can be added to bars or flat surfaces (either by screw or the supplied adhesives) then with a simple twist and click you can harness your device onto the mount, either in a landscape or portrait position, making it compatible with various apps.

It’s an incredibly simple but effective design, absolutely perfect for many situations.

ZEMgear 360 Ninja Split Toe Running Shoes

Barefoot running has increased in popularity over the years due to the many claimed benefits but it comes with one obvious downside: most surfaces hurt. (Duh.)

Noting this fact, many shoe manufacturers have created footwear to provide just enough protection to avoid injury, while allowing you to experience the foot strengthening benefits of lesser-restricted freedom.

This is all nothing new, of course, but the ZEMgear 360 Ninja Split Toe running shoes, however, are. And they’re pretty damn cool.

Weighing in at just over 2.5 ounces, these things are incredibly light – feather-light, in fact. They feature a pliable but robust pylon outer-sole making them perfect for running and other training activities, Gecko-Grip rubber pods for traction and, as the name suggests, have a split toe design that helps with forward propulsion.

If you’re still running in standard trainers it might be time you tried something different. The awkward stares from passers-by are totally worth it.

Etón BoostTurbine2000

Losing power on a mobile device is something that happens to everyone at some point and can vary from being inconvenient at best, to flat out life threatening at worst.

Fear no more. Provided you have your Etón BoostTurbine2000 at hand, you’ll never be without a source of power for your beloved smartphone again.

The device features a backup battery pack with a rechargeable 2000mAH lithium-ion battery that can transfer power to your mobile device on the go, with enough for a full charge when it’s full. If that’s depleted, there’s also a hand turbine power generator of which a one-minute stint can produce enough electricity for those emergency situations, be it a “30 second call or a few critical texts.”

It’s lightweight and features a durable aluminum body and uses a Micro-USB DC input that works with most mobile device chargers. It’s convenient, looks good, and might just be a worthwhile insurance policy.
