Do you ever find yourself wishing that the sound from your Smartphone was just a little louder or have you needed to give your notebook PC a boost in volume when doing a presentation? I think we have all been there and in reality, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of solutions out there. [click to continue…]

Last week I wrote about my exposure to the KeyPro drivers for Bluetooth keyboards and Android. Since that time, I have continued to play with this concept, and KeyPro has released (at least) two driver upgrades, which you can download from the Android Market. The current version, which I loaded today, is 1.06.08. [click to continue…]

This is one of the reasons we have smartphones with big screens, right? But what a bother to have to sit there and hold the angle just right, or keep it from sliding off the tray table if you lay it flat. So, probably just like you, I have searched for a workable method of solving this. Earlier this year, I purchased a contraption made out of plastic that you could fold into a stand for your Smartphone, Touch, etc. It held the screen at a reasonable angle, and as it had a rubberized feel, it didn’t slip too much.

The other day my son came home from college and was asking me if I knew about the new charging thing that was wireless. I laughed and said that thing is the Powermat. I told him that I had looked at it but it is not ready for prime time as far as I am concerned. The reality is, this concept is what we have been dreaming about since we were kids. And looks like the guys over at Powermat were able to make it come true. The Powermat is 99.99 both from Best Buy and Powermat.com. The bottom line is this technology has to be built into devices! Having a need to purchase another device to make this work is not very compelling.

What’s stopping you? For me, the answer to that question is the keyboard. My current smartphone has a wonder large screen, but even with a slide-out keyboard, it is not conducive to complicated or lengthy text entry. Interestingly enough, I had the same problem with my last phone, a BlackBerry Storm from RIM. Sometime in the past year, I decided to solve that issue in a fashion that had worked (sort of, almost) for me in the past with Windows Mobile phones: use a Bluetooth Keyboard. At that time, I had bought the ThinkOutside Stowaway keyboard. What a marvelous piece of portable engineering.
