Hasta La Gadget!

We love a tasty mélange of gadgets, and that’s just what photographer / hacker David Hunt has served up with a Raspberry Pi board inserted into his DSLR’s battery grip. He used the handle for power, while exposing the Pi’s USB, network and video ports for easy on-camera access, and so far he’s managed to transmit images via WiFi and ethernet. But the Raspbian Linux OS opens up a world of potential DIY accessories, like wireless tethered shooting (with the addition of a WiFi dongle), cheap USB instant backup, storage, remote control from anywhere in the world and an intervalometer for timelapse photography. That’s just for starters — with the credit card sized board now in so many hands, the permutations are endless.

When you purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 this week, you’ll have a fabulous time sharing with none other than your favorite Samsung smartphone – the Galaxy S III. With the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Note 10.1, you’ve got wi-fi direct connections with the app interface called AllShare. As it was with the Galaxy S III connecting with other Galaxy S III units when that model was released, so too is it with the Galaxy Note 10.1, a sharing environment created by Samsung to keep users in their own family of products exclusively.

What you’re about to see is some hands-on time with AllShare GroupCast, a system which allows several different kinds of media to be simultaneously displayed and interacted with on multiple devices at once. With the Samsung suite of devices that’s either out right now or will be popping up soon, you’ll have the opportunity to create a slide show that each of your friends can see on their devices instantly.

You’ll be flipping back and forth and making notes with near-perfect sync in no time! You can do this with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, the Galaxy S III, and a large set of Samsung devices that’s not just limited to tablets and smartphones. AllShare is able to connect with your PC, with DLNA-connected devices, and in the future, with non-Samsung mobile devices as well.

Have a peek at AllShare on the Galaxy S III working with another Galaxy S III, AT&T to T-Mobile and back again.

Also dive into our AllShare portal to see a collection of Samsung devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that also have AllShare on them right out of the box – it’s time to share!

So you have a Wi-Fi router in your home, but somehow due to some kind of arcane magic in the vicinity, your room seems to be the only one that fails to receive any signal. Well, fret not – instead of moving your work place to the living room, here is the $24.99 Bounce WiFi Enhancer. Basically, it can transform your regular router into one that runs on steroids – as it basically boosts your Wi-Fi signal strength up to three times the original. Bear in mind that the Bounce WiFi Enhancer will only play nice with routers that have external antennas.

How does it work? All you need to do is place this egg-shaped device right on top of your home’s router, followed by pointing it in the right direction, sort of giving a nudge to the place where you need additional coverage, and see the “magic” work in the previously blind spot. Targeting 802.11 a/b/g routers, it takes just seconds to install, and comes with a one year manufacturer’s warranty. Has anyone given it a go already, and do you think it will work as advertised?

The next time you make your way to the Bank of America stadium, whisper a prayer of thanks to AT&T for offering free Wi-Fi connectivity, where this particular feat is made possible courtesy of 460 Wi-Fi access points courtesy of AT&T. This particular move will definitely win brownie points with the Carolina Panthers fans, where the team decided to take this bold move and upgrade their in-stadium fan experience for the season ahead. Capable of seating more than 70,000 people, this stadium is home to the Carolina Panthers, Atlantic Coast Conference Championship game as well as numerous other college bowl games and special events.

Basically, as long as you have a Wi-Fi enabled AT&T smartphone or tablet, you are able to hook up in a jiffy to the AT&T Wi-Fi network without having to go through the hassle of setting up your device, configuring it, or perform those pesky log-ins. This free Wi-Fi will not count towards your monthly smartphone data plans, making sure you will be able to get those tweets out at the stadium as soon as news develops during a particular game or conference. It would be nice to see other stadiums take a similar route, too. [Press Release]
