Motorola Mobility MOTOACTV Review

Posted on March 30, 2012May 4, 2017

From Motorola Mobility comes the world’s first GPS fitness tracker with smart MP3 players all-in-one: the MOTOACTV. The MOTOACTV immediately reminded me of the iPod Nano and Luna Tik watch strap.

Golf in Balance – VIVOBAREFOOT Hybrid Golf

Posted on March 19, 2012November 12, 2024

The new VIVOBAREFOOT Hybrid is the optimum golf shoe. Its ultra-thin, puncture-resistant sole offers maximum proprioception with protection for better balance on the course, and the terrain specific grip.
