The differences between the original Sidekick 3 and the D-Wade Edition are mostly aesthetic. It is white, resembling the "color of Miami’s South Beach" and will have copper and tanaccents. Wade’s jersey number 3 will be the only detail in gold and the back of the phone will have a realistic basketball-texture for added grip and comfort.

Nomad’s sold-out Apple Watch band is back and cooler than ever

The Nomad Glow in the Dark Icy Blue Apple Watch band.

Nomad’s back with another glow-in-the-dark Apple Watch band, and just as with previous versions, it’s a limited edition, so if you want one, you'd better be quick. Why? They've proven so popular in the past that they've quickly sold out. The latest model is cooler than the last two versions and that's meant in the most real sense of the word, as it's called the Glow in the Dark Icy Blue Sport Band.

During the day, Nomad’s sport band takes on a pale blue, almost white shade, but when the lights go down, it transforms into a chilled, yet striking blue color. The band uses photoluminescence to collect its light and glow once the source disappears, but the effect has been enhanced to the point where Nomad claims it’s three times brighter than the original Glow Sport Band.

Satechi has just introduced a fresh portfolio of charging gear at CES 2025 that taps into the next-gen Qi2 wireless charging standard. The first addition to the lineup is the OntheGo power bank, which comes in 10,000 mAh and 5,000 mAh variants.

These power banks offer up to 15-watt charging output and embrace an improved heat dissipation design. They natively support iPhones with MagSafe hardware, but will also play just fine with Qi2-ready Android phones or devices protected with a magnetic case.

The new Lenovo Legion Tab is the Nexus 7 replacement I’ve waited years for

The back of the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3.

One of my favorite Android tablets was the original Nexus 7 (I also loved the second-gen model that launched a year later). Google's 7-inch Android tablets were well-made, had capable specs, and were unbelievably affordable. Both models were critically acclaimed and set a new standard for powerful, compact tablets that weren't outrageously expensive.

Unfortunately, we haven't had anything quite like the Nexus 7 for well over a decade. Small Android tablets still exist, but they're often budget-focused models with far too many compromises. If you want a properly capable and compact tablet, you need to buy an iPad mini. At least you used to.
