CES 2011, Mobile, , , ,

If you thought that the WinTV adapters from Hauppauge were only a convenience when traveling once your reached the hotel room, or a way to keep up with the game from a coffee shop where there aren’t TV’s tuned to a local station, you need to take a fresh look (as a passenger, of course) at Mobile Digital TV. In motion.

For less than $70, you can get a USB plug in adapter that converts your Windows laptop into a Digital TV that can receive broadcasts in a moving vehicle while in traffic, on a trip or on the open road.

zBoost Signal Amplifier for Cell Phones

CES 2011, Mobile,

zBoost, made by Wi-Ex, looks very similar to a WiFi router, but instead of broadcasting or repeating WiFi, it boosts a cell signal. At CES they showed off a new model, called the Metro, which was made for urban dwellers. It can boost the signal in an apartment, but no so much that it allows all of your neighbors to jump on it as well.

There is also a multi-band model which covers all wireless providers. Setting one up in your home is as easy as following the simple instructions. zBoost products are available at most big-box electronics stores as well as online from such retailers as Amazon. The Metro retails for $299 and other models prices vary.

Remember when you went out to the woods to camp? Remember the tents with no TV or satellite? Remember the tailgates with just the little Webber in the back?

Never again.

Dish Network has the Weinguard mobile HD satellite. It is the dish that you can watch HD programming while on the road. The best part is that Dish offers monthly plans so you are not paying for a service that you don’t use year round.

So if you are the travelling enthusiast, the rock band or just the tailgater that wants to never miss the action, Dish Network has the answer for you.

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.
