Bloomberg has launched a new app called Bloomberg TV+ app for the iPad. If you have a tablet that supports adobe flash you can already enjoy Bloomberg TV via your web browser. The mobile app for the iPad is free and as suspected you will see ads. For many people that travel with an iPad this is yet another reason not to turn on your TV once you get to your hotel room.

The HTC Rezound (Vigor) is a hot new phone being released soon on Verizon. There have been quite a few leaks claiming different specs for the powerhouse phone, but nothing has yet been confirmed. While far from official, a hands-on video of a pre-production model of the Rezound confirms the majority of the previously leaked specs.

When you join your first reward program you don’t have visions of how many points you might let expire unused in that loyalty program. The vast majority of reward points, however, go unused. With just one membership reward programs are easy to manage, although, over time, the list balloons increasing the management complexity by a order of magnitude. Membership programs tend to become “out of sight, out of mind”, and, this is why points expire.
Imagine the complexity of tracking membership programs from American Airlines, Delta Airlines, JetBlue, Virgin Atlantic, United, Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, American Express, Bank of America, CapitalOne, Chase, Thrifty, Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, and National, all on different websites. This list is a small number of the over 400 and growing sites AwardWallet can manage.

On Windows Phone, there is no obvious way to pin system settings like Bluetooth, WiFi, or Airplane Mode to the screen. With Android, you can use a widget, which allows you to toggle these settings on/off with the tap of a finger. Additionally, you can use a shortcut on Android to access this setting so you can connect to a Bluetooth or WiFi device. This same functionality is available on Windows Phone with Network Dashboard, Connectivity Shortcuts, Connection Tiles, or Toggle.

Bath time with my kids has become music request hour since we put a Sonos Play 3 Speaker in our bathroom. I can give the kids a bath and play music for the kids, and let mommy stay in the family room listening to her tunes. She says “listen,” though we believe she is really just trying to drown out the party upstairs. I get song requests from the 8, 5 and 3 year old and the 1 year old is just along for the ride. Bath time in our house is if filled with pulse racing, heart-bounding music, courtesy of the Sonos Play 3.

I have been running the Cyanogen 7.1 Android ROM on my HP TouchPad for about 4 days. While it is great for an Alpha build, there is no doubt that this is an Alpha build. This is not an insult, rather a reality of what the development group has communicated. WebOS is actually a nice platform to interact with. I loved the keyboard and every element RIM stole and added to the PlayBook. That said, given HP has waived the white flag so early in the game, it is not likely that any developers will build for WebOS. I purchased the TouchPad with the intentions of installing Windows 8 and/or Android, so this conclusion was foreseen.
