Bling Tag enables Payments with your Cell at CES 2011

Accessories, CES 2011,

The concept is simple, your sign up for an account over at BlingNation.com and get your bling tag you put on your cell phone. Then anytime you are at a merchant that takes Bling Payments you simply tap your Bling Tag on the payment interface and your account is automatically billed cool for consumers. What is even better is that merchants can set up reward programs to offer discounts to frequent customers.

Bling also integrates with Twitter and Facebook so your friends know what merchants you have visited and paid for products with your bling tag. Several companies have tried this in the past and what makes Bling different is that they tie in discounts and the social aspect. According to the company representative the number of vendors adopting the optional bling payment system is going well.

Accessories, CES 2011,

JoyFactory launched a full line of iPad accessories at CES 2011 under the iPad anywhere mantra. One of the products that drew my attention was a iPad stand that was made out of composite materials. This is a brand new US based company.

Another product that I thought was pretty cool was a Tag and Go charging station that is unique in that multiple devices could easily be charged from the charging pad. Check out their new line of products.

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
