My latest toy from Blink

As I usually do on monthly basis, I surf around blink.com.kw to check out when gadgets I would really need for my daily work and media storage. i came across this new toy, and it is a very good deal! Buffalo DriveStation 3.0TB – USB 3.0 (HD-LB.0TU3-EU) for 71 KD. The same item is available on Amazon.com for $350 (Equivalent to 95 KD)

I was lucky enough to pickup the last one :p I’ll review it once received.

Magic Cube: Laser Keyboard

Yes, it’s here in K-town and I found it yesterday in iCity showroom for KD 55. So sharp and accurate, easy to install, small in size and is light weight! I gave it a try on MacBook Pro & iPad and it works perfectly on both. Btw, it should work on any device that has a keyboard and supports bluetooth connectivity or has a USB slot. Oh yeah, and a 1 year warranty from B2B.

Again.. available at iCity in three colors (White, Silver, and in Red) for 55 KD

I wish I could have posted a more detailed review… but this is what I currently have:

  • Shape
  • Installation
  • Performance
  • Antenna and reception

Does Zain MiFi explode?

 

Does Zain MiFi explode? I read an interesting post on Frankom about a Novatel MiFi model that actually explodes upon usage. That called for an investigation, and since I already got one, I took the following photo to show the existing Novatel MiFi model provided by Zain: Model 2352.

The Bombing model number is: 2372 as I read on engadget

Thanks to Frankom for the news.
