  1. I prefer to use a laptop while I am lying down on a couch with the laptop on my chest, or at least lounged back in a chair with the laptop on me. My typing proficiency is awful if I am in any sort of natural upright seating position. I can definitely see how the Moft Invisible Laptop Stand can appeal to most people.

    I would like to have the Genius Pack Aerial Carry On, but am concerned with airline security. If they see a backpack with batteries and wiring in it they tend to stop me and search me pretty good. If I had the Genius Pack Aerial Carry On, then I fear I would be denied boarding, at least until builtin backpack batteries become more common. I know it says airline approved, but when the idiots take my bottled water away because of “security concerns”, I truly have my doubts.

  2. The Xeric watches are definitely stylish and cool looking, but I don’t tink it ould be more functional than my cheap Timex. In fact, I bet my $30 Timex is easier to use for time as I can just glance at it easily regardless of whether it is bright out or pitch black.

    I do appreciate the fact that they are using American tanned leather from Horween leather company. A lot of products are having the hides tanned over in Philippines or some other Country. It might be cheaper to do, but the quality is often much lower than at a reputable American leathery company like Horween. Horween leather is the leather used for the footballs in the NFL!

  3. Why have dolls moved to the big creepy eyes? I never saw eyes like that until the Bratz dolls came out, and now it seems everyone is copying that eye style. I like the Sophia doll robot, except for those creepy large eyes.

    The Doogee S90 is interesting, but for now, I will stick with my iPhone with the Otter Box cover. The Otter Boxes have fully protected my phones for many years now. When I upgrade I take the iPhone out of the box, wipe off a bit of grime that collected in the case, and my phone looks brand new. It really helps with my resale value staying high.

    I do like that I can potentially get 2 days of battery life with the Doogee S90. I say potentially because I have doubts about the battery life considering how much I use my phone daily. A lot of people prefer a slimmer phone, but I love the bulkiness that my OtterBox adds to my iPhone as it makes it much easier to carry with fewer drops.

    1. Google the Robot called Ai-Da designed in part by Aidan Meller. It has the creepiest eyes I have ever seen on a robot. They are not just for looks though, the Ai-Da robot is being programmed to be able to draw things that it sees. If you watch a Youtube video on Ai-Da you’ll see that the eyes on it will follow the subject around the room when they move, just like a human would.

  4. If Apple would have come out with an iPhone version that was affordable and durable like the Doogee S90 then it could have been a huge seller for them. Apple again misses the boat and I doubt that Doogee S90 will be near as popular since it is not an Apple product. If I can get more than 2 days of battery life with the battery module, then I am in as long as the camera and video quality is high, especially in lowlight situations.

    I think the most understated feature of the Doogee S90 is that it is extremely waterproof. It says it can stay submerged in water for 2 weeks and come out “totally unharmed.” The picture of the car tire driving over the Doogee S90 is pretty cool, but I will wait until actual product reviews come out before I will consider buying one. I can just see a Youtube tech tester drive over his new Doogee S90 phone and it instantly breaks.

  5. The Doogee S90 looks well-designed except for the notch on the screen at the top. Why the hell would they copy Apple on what is perceived by most people to be a design flaw? Yes, we can live with the notch, but it is still annoying to me after 6 months of use. #nomoresmartphonenotches

    I do like that the Doogee S90 has different modules available. The gamepad module should be really popular. There are modules like this sold for iPhones, but obviously not made directly by Apple so the quality is often not up to the standards of Apple. I probably won’t be buying a Doogee S90, but the power module and night vision camera module could help sway my opinion if they prove to work efficiently as they advertise it. I honestly don’t fully understand how the walkie=talkie module works with the cell phone. Does it actually work on the CB waves, or just a push to talk like Nextel used to use?

    Can you use more than one module simultaneously?

    1. CB radio uses 30hertz to 300 GHz, which is a different spectrum then what is used by the Doogee S90. The Doogee S90 uses the 400-480 MHZ spectrum, but it doesn’t matter. The walkie talkie module could potentially be a huge selling point for people. There are many places where we go hiking and camping with no cell service. If y wife and I both had the Doogee S90 phones with the walkie talkie module I could still explore the area and keep in touch with her while shes lounging around the campsite.

  6. Apple got rid of the mic plugin so they could make the phone thinner. The Doogee S90 looks like a thick phone, so why the heck would they also not put in a traditional mic plugin?

    This phone will flop, mark my words. Cell phones are designed to be portable, and while the Doogee S90 phone is portable, nobody wants to be hauling around multiple modules in their backpack in case they need one. The exception is the additional life battery module which is actually great.

    The phone is ugly, nobody has ever heard of Doogee, and the extra modules rapidly increase the cost of the phone, which does not have the proven reliability of an Apple iPhone or a higher-end Android.

  7. WTF is up with the gamepad module on the Doogee S90 phone? It only has controls for one side. If I am dropping money for a control pad for my phone it had better be one that has both sides covered. I refuse to use one thumb on a joypad and one on my phone screen. That is not how it is supposed to work Doogee.

    Doogee is the same company that raised money on IndieGogo for the S70 gaming phone, and people are angry that they didn’t get their phone yet and when the company promised to refund some people, the refunds ever went thru. Doogee is simply using crowdfunding sites to make money, and are not looking at long-term potential of a self-sufficient product outside of the crowdfunding sites.

    1. Yeah, that seems really strange to me too. It’s like a gaming pad that you cant actually game with. It’s a sign that they cheaped out on the design of it. What good is only half of a game pad?

  8. No way in hell I would ever buy the Doogee S90 or anything else from those guys. They are looking for a fast way to make money and that is it. Kickstarter canceled the Doogee S80 campaign when they found out the phone was already being sold on Alibaba. Now they are doing a fundraiser for the Doogee S90, but the first ones sold were on Alibaba and not delivered to those who bought one on Kickstarter. With the Doogee S90 they already had them made and in the Warehouse, just using Kickstarter to make a lot of quick sales. Sad sad sad that Doogee people don’t understand the spirit of Kickstarter.

  9. Kickstarter loses all credibility when they allow Dogee to repost their project on there after all the previous hoopla when Kickstarter took down the campaign. F those scammers. Kickstarter has a lot of great projects, but Dogee is straight up hustling money.

  10. I’m surprised Amazon hasn’t come out with their own version of Kickstarter. They have the finances to do it, millions of buyers and sellers, and the tech capability to host it. It seems like an Amazon version, with a few differences, could really do much better than Kickstarter.
