Get into the Swing of Things

2015 Edison Award Nominee Game Golf will be a winner with the golf enthusiast on your list

One of the biggest problems amateur golfers have when trying to improve is a lack of accurate performance data. Game Golf aims to fix that. This Yves Behar-designed set includes a device that you clip to your waist that offers GPS, NFC, compass, accelerometer, and a gyrometer, and a set of club tags, one for each club in your bag. When you hit the course, simply tap the club tag against the device and go - the system will do the rest, recording every club used, swing made, yard covered, scoring, number of putts, greens in regulation, driving accuracy, and more, all of which gets loaded onto your smartphone or computer and into a social app that lets you analyze your own performance and compare it against both your friends and some of the best golfers in the world. More

A Little Holiday Note

Stay connected to the ones you love with 2015 Edison Awards Nominee Samsung Galaxy Note Edge

 With its crazy curved design and intriguing software, the Galaxy Note Edge is a sight to be seen. Thankfully Samsung has struck deals to have the Note Edge easily available, with the top U.S. carriers taking on the device, but it can't hurt to do some research before you head to a store to try one out. We've already given our comprehensive take on the device in a full review, but you can't fit everything into a single article.


 

Before you head out to try a Note Edge for yourself, see our top 10 things to know about the phone. The list may have you running out sooner (or even buy it sight unseen) More 

Baby it's Cold Outside
Stay in with 2015 Edison Awards nominee Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro

Lenovo's Yoga series is one of the most highly regarded line of thin and light laptops on the market at the moment. Not only are they stylish and portable, the multi-mode design allows it to act as a tablet in one moment and a laptop in the next. Sure, they're not meant for heavy gaming or video editing, but they are a great option for day to day usage.


 

The highest end model in the Yoga line is the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro, the laptop I've been using over the past couple of weeks. It features an aluminium body with an intriguing watchband hinge, a high resolution display, and a bleeding edge Core M processor that promises decent performance with lower power consumption. More

Key rings are fine, but suppose you only carry a few keys on you. In that case, there's no need to make them extra bulky in your pocket by putting them on a round ring. The KeySmart Compact Key Holder is a much better solution.


 

As the name suggests, it is a compact way of holding your keys, looking more like a swiss army knife than a key ring. Free up some room in your pocket by using this handy gadget. It's even made using aircraft aluminum and stainless steel. More 

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Clio is a revolutionary new speaker that employs an ultra-thin, slightly curved, and optically clear acrylic glass transducer to disperse sound waves in multiple directions. Because of its innovative acoustic design, Clio can be placed anywhere and produce rich, clear, room-filling sound. Clio's sleek, minimalistic design allows the barely visible speaker to "disappear" against its surroundings. More
