Geek Gear: Gamecom 780 with Dolby 7.1 by Plantronics
As part of our Geek Gear series, we’re happy to let you know about Gamecom 780. If you’re looking for a headset for both work and pleasure (a.k.a. games), it’s the perfect combo. We tested it out on everything from Skype to World of Warcraft, and this baby is a keeper.
The GameCom 780 has a retro look, a bit bulky, but it’s surprisingly light weight. The nice thing is that it’s not flimsy. We like the high quality construction — the materials are superb. It feels great to put those cups over your ears, like you’re heading off to another world.
iPhone vs. Android? Which should you get?
Let me start by saying Android has come a long way in the past year. It has actually caught up to iOS. So which one should you get if you’re looking for your next phone?
Android Pros:
* Great operating system
* More flexible than iOS
* More customizable than iOS
* Many more phone choices
* Phones support LTE, while iPhone is still stuck in 3G land
* No shortage of apps
* More carriers support Android
* Most Android phones have bigger screens

Nothing is better for Xmas than an XShot — it makes the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who wants to take photos over the holidays!
Check out the video below. This product is brilliant. And they have an iPhone case that works like a I charm with both the XShot and any tripod you may own. I know because I own them both!
As you can probably tell, I love the design. The product is also incredibly well made. It doesn’t feel cheap. It’s actually very sturdy. If you love gadgets, like we do, you will get a kick out this one!

Lucky Bums Music Strap
As part of our Geek Gear series, we’re shining the spotlight on new gadgets and accouterments that any geeky founder would die for!
This week, we want to tell you about the Music Strap from Lucky Bums. It’s wonderful. When riding your bike to work, you aren’t allowed to have headphones on. It’s actually illegal. But you can use these speakers on your backpack. Just plug them into your iPhone or iPod and away you go. You can hear everything from your favorite bands to audio books (only true geeks bike to audio books).
