Spot Connects to your Smartphone CES 2011

CES 2011, Health, ,

Spot has been a leader in satellite rescue and communication devices. With a Spot device you can send a rescue signal via satellite, for several years now you have also been able to send short text messages as well through Spot devices. Now your smartphone can interact with a new Spot device essentially turning your smartphone into a Satellite Communicator.

This will allow people to send text messages to twitter of facebook in non emergency situations to send short updates on your adventures wherever you may be. I have said for a long time that if I was a world traveler that got of the beaten path that I would never leave home without a spot device. While the new integration to your smartphone is cool. The device will still work standalone when your in trouble or if your smartphone battery has died.

Mophie Chargers for iPhone4 at CES 2011

Accessories, CES 2011, , , ,

Mophie was displaying their latest chargers for the iPhone4 at CES 2011. Many of you may recall the trouble I had with the 3G version of Mophie charger where the charging connection was not as robust as it should be. In the iPhone4 design they have reworked the design and location of the charging connection. Talking with the representative that was at CES, I was pleased to find out that they also re-enforced the area in and around the charging plug that gave so many of us issues in the past.

Overall the new design is sleeker and fits the new iPhone4 in a way that really makes you see that they spent a lot of time on designing the latest charger.

Mophie has also expanded into a line of accessories for the iPad which are sleek and stylish. You can find more details about Mophie at Mophie.com

Toyota In Car Innovation at CES 2011

CES 2011, Mobile

Toyota demonstrated at CES 2011 their upcoming in car technology for higher end Toyota models. We were surprised to find Toyota at CES as they have not had a presence in years past and this is the first we had heard about them bringing Apps and Interactivity to their dashboards.

As far as we can tell they are still in prototype stage and it will likely be some time before we see this in any of their vehicles.
