There's an abundance of great gaming gear currently on the market. However, when you narrow your criteria down to great mobile-compatible gaming gear, your options fall off dramatically. As someone who has been gaming for about four decades and who takes his gaming rather seriously, I can attest to the importance of gear that does the job it was intended to do, and does it well.

2017 promises to be an exciting year for Apple. Not only is it the 10th anniversary of Apple's revolutionary flagship device, the iPhone, which means we can expect to see Apple blow our minds with inventive technological leaps; but rumor has it that Apple may be preparing to introduce not two, not three, but four new iPads to the world, likely as soon as this spring. But with all the hoopla surrounding Apple's iOS devices, one can't help but wonder what's in store for the Mac; not just this year, but in years to come.

Last year mobile games brought in over 40 billion dollars in worldwide revenue. To put it in perspective, that's more than 2016's global movie box office revenue of 38 billion dollars, and the music industry's 15.1 billion dollar revenue. Cell phone games saw an 18 percent increase over the year before, with mobile gamers in the US alone, generating 24.8 billion dollars in revenue. The US is also the only country in the world where iOS gamers outnumber those on Android devices, despite the fact that Android gamers represent 78 percent of the global gaming market.

It looks like I've got a new favorite audio system for experiencing music in the great outdoors. The Fugoo Go portable Bluetooth speaker ($99.99) was on display at this year's CES Showstoppers event in Las Vegas, and it's a fantastic addition to the Fugoo lineup. More portable than the powerful Fugo XL and more affordable than the original Fugoo rugged speaker, the Go puts out sound that is remarkable alone, and even more impressive in pairs.
