Gadgets for October
Huawei E5573 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot
If like me, you use your smartphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot for your friends or even for your own Wi-Fi enabled devices, you can get yourself one of these. Simply pop any 3G or 4G SIM card into it and you’re good to go. We recommend activating a data plan on the SIM card so that you can use it for an extended period of time rather than just topping it up.
The device can connect upto 10 devices and has a download speed of upto 150mbps coupled with an upload speed of 50mbps. It comes with a 1500mAh battery so you can have an internet connection literally wherever you go. If the device is running low on battery, simply connect it to a USB port or charger and you’re good to go.

Energizer Energy 100
We took a look at an Energizer smartphone some time ago. At the time, it really was the toughest smartphone we had. The Energizer Energy 100 is a feature phone that is almost as tough. It packs a 2.4” Color display, has support for dual SIMs or one SIM plus a MicroSD card and has a VGA camera as well. The device also has a 1,500 mAh battery.
That’s not the best part. Much like it’s elder sibling, the Energizer Energy 100 is IP54 rated. This means that the device has a high level of protection against particles and a fair amount of protection against water as well. So if you’re looking for a phone that can take more than a fair share of water and dust, you can give the Energizer Energy 100 a go.
