The iPhone 4 antenna issue has put third party gadget companies into a frenzy. Apple’s screw up means that they have an opportunity to profit off of it with accessories promising to solve the problem. However, the ones created that were only capable of taking care of that singular problem might not do so well now that Apple has started to ship free bumpers. This particular accessory was a little smarter about things though. It can actually be used for more than just the iPhone 4. Just pop your phone onto the wrist strap and you easily have it within sight. It also means women that happen to be lacking pockets that day can have another alternative besides carrying the phone in your purse. The WristOffice isn’t the solution for everyone, but it could make it easier to use a smart phone when your hands are also busy doing other things. Of course this little accessory still doesn’t exactly make texting while driving entirely safe, but may come in handy, pun intended.

LG Infinia 3D TV

3D seems to be the next big thing these days, and LG Electronics does not want to miss out on it by bringing entertainment to the next dimension through the introduction of a full suite of 3D technology products which will definitely do its bit to usher content to life for consumers. You will be able to experience a whole new way of viewing movies by pairing LG’s new top-of-the-line “Infinia” LED HDTVs with its first-ever 3D-capable Network Blu-ray Disc player, letting you immerse yourself in superior picture quality and a 3D experience of your favorite sporting events as well as Hollywood mega-hits without heading out to the nearest cinema, but instead relaxing in the comfort of your home. The LG Infinia LX9500 and LX6500 series HDTVs are compatible with LG’s BX580 Network Blu-ray Disc player as well as custom 3D eyewear, letting you experience 3D TV, colors and contrast like never before. As for the LX9500, you will be able to enjoy the ultimate home entertainment experience with THX certified picture quality, Full LED Slim technology, virtually unlimited content possibilities from NetCast Entertainment Access and an ultra-high refresh rate among others. LG hopes to make ownership of 3D technology more affordable for everyday folks like you and I by offering an exclusive bundle at retail for the launch of its 3D technology suite, where picking up any LG 47LX9500 or LX6500 LED HDTV alongside the LG 3D Blu-ray Disc Player from participating retailers, will save on the additional purcahse of 3D active shutter glasses as they will get two pairs for free, not to mention a bonus redemption certificate for you to receive Warner Home Video’s Blu-ray 3D title IMAX Under the Sea 3D by mail – of course, this offer is good while stocks last. Getting these new appliances won’t put a strain on your monthly power bill either since both of LG’s 3D LED HDTVs have a variety of energy-saving features, where among them include an Intelligent Sensor which automatically calibrates and optimizes brightness, contrast, white balance and color, based on the ambient light in the room, helping it go some way in saving on energy output under most circumstances. They are also ENERGY STAR rated for that added peace of mind. Any takers?

Vlingo’s Tap & Speak Widget

Posted by Chrissie in Apple, Gadgets, Pers... | 07.16.2010 - 12:00 pm

vlingo

Vlingo is a name synonymous with intelligent voice applications that are capable of transforming words into action, where the company has rolled out a spanking new feature known as SuperDialer, targeting Android-powered devices in the process. Of course, as we all well know, Android devices are mostly smartphones, but many of them also come in portable media player or tablet form factors. Well, you can’t call anyone out of a tablet or portable media player, so it is safe to assume that the SuperDialer, as its name suggests, will work only on smartphones. First of all, a little bit of history lesson – the original voice dialer from Vlingo connects users with people from a personal address book, while its new and improved SuperDialer expands on that functionality by accessing an infinite phone book to bridge a connection with any business, anywhere, anytime. This new function is easily accessible and a cinch to use thanks to Vlingo’s Tap & Speak home screen widget. Using it will instantaneously unlock reviews, ratings, maps and directions in addition to one-click calling. The use of Vlingo does away with the need to access a phone book, call 411 or search the Internet simply to call a business, as they can just speak their wish and the software will go ahead to transform words into actions. It boasts greater flexibility compared to other voice dialing services, where among the phrases you can use include “Call Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach”, “Call dentist” or “Directions to Fenway Park”. Of course, if calling’s not your thing, you can still use Vlingo for Android for a non-phone Android device. All you need to do is tap on the Vlingo widget to send text and email messages, search the web using Google or Yahoo! engines, update your Twitter status for friends and family to know just exactly what you’re up to, open built-in and 3rd party applications, speak into any application with the Vlingo Everywhere voice keyboard, and hear both incoming text and email messages while you drive thanks to SafeReader. Too bad Vlingo works only with Android 2.x and above devices, where it will retail for $9.99 per purchase. Well, if it makes your life easier and more convenient, why not?

logitech gaming mouse

At the end of the day, though you may have on hand a variety of peripheral and ultimate controllers for your games, anything involving real time strategy, first person shooters, or role playing always requires some hearty hand control with keyboard and mouse connectivity. Here you will find the mouse that offers every gamer exactly what they have wanted for so long. The Logitech MX518 gaming-grade optical mouse will more than hold its own as half of your gaming setup. What you will love about it is…well, everything, but its five user customizable programming will be very appealing. The fact that it isn’t wireless should not be of concern if you are a serious gamer, as you well know that wireless mice have that annoying lag with LAN supremacy and failure. But here you have a sensitive mouse that can be customized and dedicated buttons for increasing or decreasing the sensitivity to your needs. You will love how you can even customize the sensitivity during game play itself as well. Extremely comfortable to use, and you’ll never hit the wrong button again. It’s pricey, but you want to get what you pay for, and the Logitech MX 518 Reviews here should pretty much seal the deal if you are sitting on the fence.

Samsung Wave Compatible with Skyhook Wireless

Posted by Chrissie in Apple, Gadgets, Pers... | 07.02.2010 - 12:00 pm

Samsung Wave

Skyhook Wireless might not be familiar to some of you out there, so here’s a little bit of nitty gritty on it – it is a provider of the Core Location Platform, where the company recently announced that Samsung will take advantage of Skyhook’s capabilities across multiple Samsung mobile devices. Skyhook has chosen the Samsung Wave S8500 to be the first handset to roll out with its Skyhook service. Of course, we do hope that the Wave will not be the last phone to do so, as this is one of the first few bada-powered open mobile platform phones to arrive in the market at the moment. The addition of Skyhook on Samsung devices like the Wave results in an all location-aware application which offers the most precise, reliable, and fastest location information available. Geo-location is at the center of this mobile innovation, and seems to be more and more fundamental to a host of emerging mobile services these days. After all, you can check out hundreds, if not thousands of mobile applications today which incorporate location as a part of their user experience.

Precise location will help consumers to check-in with friends, find nearby concerts and exhibits, or even get directions to the destinations of their choice despite being in an unfamiliar place. As for other experiences including turn-by-turn navigation or even a local search, location is at the very centre, with applications such as Twitter, Shazam and OpenTable incorporating location to simplify user experience and to personalize content delivery. Currently, Skyhook is the de facto leader in geo-location technology, capable of fulfilling hundreds of millions of location requests each day over a 100 million handsets, netbooks and digital cameras – are those figures enough to send your head into a spin? With the ground-breaking Core Location system from Skyhook Wireless, it will merge Wi-Fi, cellular and GPS readings to produce a single, accurate location quickly and in all environments.
