Living in Atlanta, there’s one thing I have begrudgingly become accustomed to dealing with — sitting in traffic. All that wasted time. All that stress! Sure, GPS and smartphones with turn-by-turn navigation help — but rarely pick up accident information until it’s too late. That’s where INRIX, a leading provider of traffic [...]

\ Logitech Alert Review – Makes Your iPad a Home Security Solution
Now that summer is here, you’re probably gearing up to enjoy some much-needed vacation time. Before packing up and hitting the road, one thing none of us likes to stop and really think about is how to keep watch over our home or business while away. Luckily, Logitech has come to the rescue [...]
Poynt Hits the BlackBerry PlayBook in a Big Way
One of the applications I love — not only on the BlackBerry, but on iOS, Android, webOS and Windows Phone 7 — is Poynt. It is my favorite do-all location-based search utility. I’m fortunate to get to test different phones and tablets, and Poynt is one of those apps I always load up [...]
BlackBerry World 2011: Is RIM Knocking It Out of the Park or Lobbing Soft Balls?
[image via Yahoo News] This week’s BlackBerry World Conference is meant to show off the latest and greatest BlackBerry products and software offerings — as well as give a sneak peek into what RIM, the makers of the popular BlackBerry smartphones and PlayBook tablet — have planned. Unlike many prior years (where the [...]
RIM Pulls an Oprah, Gives All BlackBerry World Attendees a Brand New PlayBook Tablet
While attendees were Tweeting, BBM’ing and trying not to nod off during Mike Lazaridis’s keynote address during this year’s BlackBerry World Conference, a jolt of enthusiasm swept through the crowd as RIM announced every attendee would receive a complimentary 16GB BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Suh-Weet! Gauging the rabid excitement of the crowd, the news was [...]
Adventures in Customer Service – Apple’s A+ Business Team
Image courtesy of waymarking.com Last Friday, I found myself — like many others — in line waiting to pick up an iPad 2. I wasn’t even going for myself, either. See, where I work, we have embraced the iPad in a very big way. It is very rare to walk into a meeting and not [...]
Tycoon Windows 7 Tablet Review
It’s been quite some time since I last mentioned Tangent’s Tycoon Tablet. Part of the challenge with also getting to often evaluate technology during my ‘day job’ is that I’m often not the only one who needs to work with it during any given time. After it got the once over by a few of my colleagues, [...]
Poynt Now Lets You Share Your Location via Facebook and Twitter
One of my all-time favorite mobile applications is Poynt, the location-based search juggernaut that helps you find businesses, people, movies, gas, restaurants, events — or even just the weather. All from a single app so you don’t have to clutter your phone with five or six different options. As soon as I pick up [...]
Turn Your iPhone Into the Ultimate Wireless Media Remote with Twonky
Recently, I wrote about the Android app Skifta that lets you access personal media you have stored on your computer — or in the cloud — and stream it to your TV, stereo or other DLNA enabled device. iPhone users may have felt left out in the cold, but no more. Twonky now brings media [...]
Cardstar Now Gives You Location-Based Deals with Groupon Integration
CardStar has come a long way since first hitting the scene and simply giving users the ability to store loyalty cards on their smartphones. First they brought Foursquare check-ins to their application — and helped show local businesses the huge impact of location-based sales. That’s one reason I am an avid user of Groupon. I’ll [...]
A Sneak Peak at the Tycoon Windows 7 Tablet
Thanks to Apple’s iPad juggernaut, just about everyone is planning on putting out a tablet this year. While CES confirmed that most will be running Android (3.0/Honeycomb) to battle the current iPad and upcoming iPad2, don’t count out the non-Apple or Google branded tablets. Today, I received the Tycoon tablet from a Tangent. The Tycoon [...]
Skifta Frees Your Media by Streaming to Phone, PC, TV and Beyond
Our smartphones are very rarely ‘just phones’ for making phone calls these days. More and more, we are using our smartphones as one of our primary means to access and share our media. One of the biggest constraints, as a consumer, is having to take your music, photo or video collection and figure out how to share content between multiple devices. Apple gave iOS [...]
Vlingo + BlueAnt Wireless at CES = Beautiful, Free Voice Integrated Apps
Back in the ‘old’ days of 2009, you typically had your smartphone then paid for a separate voice-application to give yourself some hands-free capabilities. One of those applications has been the very popular Vlingo. Now, just like the Plantronics and Dial2Do partnership that came last year, Vlingo and bluetooth device manufacturer BlueAnt have come together [...]
NAVTEQ and NNG Demonstrate iGO My way Beta Application for Standalone GPS at CES
GPS saves me a lot of hassle. I’m certainly not a human compass, and — especially if traveling to an unfamiliar city — chances are I will get lost at least once if I don’t have a GPS device or very good directions. Looking around for street signs and calculating turns is fine, but what [...]
