CTIA – personal thoughts

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  CTIA    Posted date:  March 24, 2011  |  2 Comments


March 24, 2011

My brain is fried. I am having such a great time. I've lost the people I was with only 30 minutes ago, and don't know where to look for the ones I'm supposed to meet next. It will work out. I've recorded so much video that I'm afraid I've filled my hard drive. I'm having a love/hate relationship with Mac OSX. I think I'm getting the hang of the file system, but doggone it, Windows is so much more (dare I say it?), intuitive! I uploaded 847 videos to my youtube account. Then I uploaded some of them again, because I hadn't figured out how to rename them, and didn't know if I'd uploaded them or not....

IDAPT charging stations

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  charge, charging, CTIA, gadget, IDAPT, power    Posted date:  March 24, 2011  |  No comment


March 24, 2011

IDAPT offers charging stations that will power up multiple gadgets simultaneously. Keep your gadgets all in one place and use only one outlet. With connectors for all major brands, you get miniUSB, microUSB, Samsung4, Sony Ericsson2, iPod/iPhone, and Nokia2 all in the box. The connectors fit in the base so that you can power up everyone's cellphone at the same time, in the same place. I was given a review unit, so a full review will follow in a few days.

Bling is back!

March 24, 2011

I thought we'd seen the last of blinged out cases, but take a gander at what I've seen and you'll know this is far from the case (pun intended). Some of these are beautiful, some will make your eyes bleed. And there's still more to come! And this last one is just for Jerry:

ZOMM – the World’s First Wireless Leash

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  accessories, bluetooth, cellphone, CTIA, protection    Posted date:  March 23, 2011  |  No comment


March 23, 2011

It's a pity this wasn't around a few months back when my daughter's iPhone was stolen. But what a clever gadget it is! Not only does it pair with any Bluetooth enabled phone, it acts as a hands-free speakerphone. Two products for the price of one. There's an app coming, first for Android, and then iPhone, which will give you even more options as to how to use your ZOMM. Priced between $79-$99, I'd say it's reasonable. And did I mention there's a model that's totally blinged out? Can you say "Swarovski crystals?" Woot! Take a look at the video, and let us know what you think.

CleverWraps

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  accessories, Android, Blackberry, camera, CleverWraps, CTIA, iPad, iPhone, protection, tablet    Posted date:  March 23, 2011  |  Comment


March 23, 2011

An aptly named product, CleverWraps is more than a sealable ziplock bag. These are protective sleeves for any gadget you own. They allow you to keep whatever the gadge, totally functional. When I finished recording the video you'll see below, she took my little Flip cam, and snugged it away in a CleverWrap. It's now safe to return to Mobile - rainiest city in the US! The phone version comes 5 to a pack for $9.99, while the tablet and e-reader versions come 3 to a pack for $14.99. No matter what you've got, if you want to keep it dry or clean, seal it in a CleverWrap.

Otterbox Ultimate Protection

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  accessories, cases, Commuter, CTIA, Defender, Otterbox, protection    Posted date:  March 23, 2011  |  No comment


March 23, 2011

I have been a big fan of the Otterbox line since my Treo days. They are stylish and offer great protection in a great range of products. Best example is the Otterbox protecting the brand new Samsung Galaxy S belong to H.L. Flowers (only related by marriage). H.L. works in the shipbuilding industry and can quite frequently be found 10, 20, 30 feet (or more) up off the deck of the ship, installing radio equipment in the mast. So when he purchased the Galaxy S (at my instigation), I encouraged him to get the Otterbox Defender case. Good thing I did and he did, because the first week of ownership,...

Gogobeans

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  Android, app, CTIA, file sharing, Gogobeans, iPhone    Posted date:  March 23, 2011  |  No comment


March 23, 2011

Funny name for an app, but what an app it is! Having only discovered it 15 minutes ago, I haven't been able to try it myself yet. Unfortunately, it requires iOS 4.3, and I'm still on 4.2. But this might be a reason to update and lose the jailbreak. Seriously. Gogobeans allows you to store your digitial life, and (more importantly), share with any other iPhone or Android phone, just by shaking the device. The thing that makes this so unique is that you don't have to be on the same WiFi network. You don't have to be in the same room. You don't even have to be on the same continent! Watch the video...

CTIA CEO Roundtable

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  AT&T, Cramer, CTIA, DelaVega, Hesse, Mead, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon    Posted date:  March 22, 2011  |  No comment


March 22, 2011

The introduction of the 3 cellphone giants' CEO's was worth the price of admission to this year's CTIA. While I'm still not so crazy about Sprint, I'm now a huge Dan Hesse fan. The man is a great speaker, and is quick on his feet. He didn't miss a single opportunity to poke fun of his competitors. Watch the intro with moderator, Jim Cramer. I have a few more good clips coming, but this is definitely a "best of show."

SafeSync

Posted by: Alli Flowers    Tags:  Android, bakup, iPhone, mac, PC, storage, sync, Windows    Posted date:  March 22, 2011  |  3 Comments


March 22, 2011

Sync what? That was the question I asked as I approached the reps at the Trend Micro booth. We all know the name - they’re the people who keep us virus-free. (They are now boasting anti-virus software for your hand-held devices, but that’s another story for another time.) SafeSync is their newest offering, and I think it’s exciting. I know a lot of people who use DropBox for their backup and instant access to files on the go, but there’s just something about it that has always bothered me. The thing I dislike most is the fact that it requires you create additional folders, and copies...
