cordless snow shovel
Clear snow from your steps, walkways, decks, paths, sidewalks, and driveways quickly and easily with the Snow Joe iON13SS 40-volt Cordless Snow Shovel. This rechargeable battery powered snow remover is compact enough to fit in a hallway closet yet powerful enough to save you time and effort by clearing out the snow. It uses a 40v battery that runs for 52 minutes per charge so you don’t have to mess with oil, gas, tuneups, pull cords, electric cords, smelly emissions, noise (!!!!) or any of the other hassles of regular snowblowers.

This snow shovel is smaller than a snowblower- it clears paths 13 inches wide. But don’t let it’s small size fool you- this has a 500w brushless motor that can toss 300 lbs of snow per minute and a 2 blade paddle auger that can throw the snow up to 25 feet away. It can clear snow up to 6 inches deep- over that height and you simply need to make 2 passes over an area. Still easier than shoveling! It only weighs about 12 pounds so it’s easy to lift up and use on stairs and decks.

Here’s where the battery goes- it’s similar to any other cordless yard tools you might already be using like trimmers or hedgeclippers. The Snow Shovel’s compact size makes it ideal for clearing the tight spots around your car in the driveway where a full sized snowblower simply would not fit. It’s also great for condo and apartment dwellers with smaller areas to clear. You could even keep it fully charged in the back of your car just in case you get plowed in. A corded version is available as well.

Bluetooth dock adapter Pear disappears from Kickstarter, founders promise return under new name

You might remember Pear, a recent Insert Coin debutant that connects your favorite iDevice dock to (almost) any Bluetooth-connected smartphone. However, you probably didn't notice its swift disappearance from Kickstarter just before the weekend. The people behind the project have contacted us, explaining that the crowdfunding site was hit with a cease and desist order for the dock converter, centering around a "trademark infringement issue." With its funding page down, Pear says it had no way to tell its supporters that product development would continue, albeit under a new name. Anyone that funded the project is advised to register at the source link below to keep up-to-date. The founders aim to return to Kickstarter in around 3-6 weeks, with several as-yet unannounced enhancements coming alongside a new logo and moniker -- something that it's going to task its backers with deciding.

IRIScan Anywhere 3 saves your receipts and photos without the cables

IRIScan Anywhere 3 saves your receipts and photos without the cables

Portable scanners aren't quite the novelty they used to be, that much is true. But they're no less impressive or useful. The latest IRIScan, the Anywhere 3, follows a long tradition of tiny, wireless document and photo scanners with rechargable batteries. It's capable of saving your files to its internal storage, an SD card or even a standard USB thumbdrive. At $199 the IRIScan Anywhere 3 isn't any cheaper than its competitors and, as you can see from the photo above, it's certainly not the smallest portable scanner. But, it does come with some free apps (Readiris Pro and Cardiris Pro) that let you import contact info from business cards into Outlook or Lotus and turn your scanned docs into editable files through OCR. For more check out the PR after the break.

Insert Coin: Pear brings Bluetooth to your Apple-compatible speaker dock

In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you'd like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with "Insert Coin" as the subject line.

Insert Coin Pear brings Bluetooth to your Applecompatible speaker dock

What a lovely set of speakers. Let me just dock my smartphone right th...

Or perhaps you happen to own one of the thousands of devices not equipped with a proprietary Apple dock connector. Well, when it comes time to slide your Android or Windows Phone into place, the only sound you're likely to hear is the screech of a 30-pin plug scratching up the case. If the speaker rig packs Bluetooth, you can use that instead, but if you own one of many that don't, you'll probably want Pear. Drawing some name and design inspiration from an arguably more popular fruit, Pear brings Bluetooth connectivity to any dock connector-equipped speaker set, drawing power from the port so it can pair with virtually any smartphone or tablet, letting you play your tunes while keeping your handset in hand. It offers a range of 30 feet indoors or up to 75-feet outside (there's a video proving the feat at the source link below), and works with any apps and devices that offer Bluetooth output.

The wireless gadget's designer is turning to Kickstarter to raise the funds necessary to launch Pear into production. The team has already developed a working prototype, so there's proof that you're not backing vaporware, and a $30 pledge can net you one of 250 early bird devices. After that initial run, you'll need to hand over 40 bucks (which also happens to be the expected retail place) for an arctic white or jet black Pear. The developers are hoping to raise $40,000, to cover their prior investments and push the device to the manufacturing stage (no, it won't be "made in the USA"), so if you want to see Pear pop up in a speaker dock near you, hit up our source link below to make your pledge. You can also jump past the break for a quick intro video, and an update on a previous Insert Coin project.
