Last week I posted a review about a vent mounted cellphone mount for the car and I picked it because a suction cup wouldn’t really work for me. I was on Slick Deals not long ago and saw a deal on a sort of suction cup car mount from a company called Mpow, it was $9.99 on sale, regularly $13.99, so I had some credit on Amazon and I grabbed it. The ‘sort of’ suction cup part comes in with this mount as it has a sticky gel base but also a suction cup part, or well the suction cup is a sticky gel. The gel base and the great reviews are the reason I picked it up because I thought it would perfect for me and I was right, it works great. So read on to learn about an awesome and inexpensive car mount…

Portable Air Vent Mount Cellphone Holder Review
Don’t you hate it when you lose things and have to buy another one? I did that recently, I get lots of mobile stuff for review and I broke my phone mount in my car but I knew I had another one somewhere but I just can’t find it. So I went over to Amazon looking for a cheap cellphone mount just to hold me over until I found my other one and then I’d have a spare as well. I picked one up for $6.99 shipped for free as I have Prime and I’m very happy with it so I thought I’d do a quick review to tell you guys and gals about it.
NSC Report: 26% of Car Crashes Involve Cellphones
That 26% number is just an estimate, and I think it’s too low really, I agree with many people that a lot of cellphone related accidents go unreported. Here in Pennsylvania we have a ban on texting and driving and I see people all the time driving with their phone up and they’re texting away, or browsing the web or whatever. 5% of that 26% number is from texting and driving accidents and that’s ridiculous in my opinion, nothing is that important that it can’t wait. 26% means that basically 1 out of every 4 car crashes was caused by some idiot on his cellphone, 26% is actually more than 1 out of 4 which makes it worse really. Here in PA they recently introduced several new bills about distracted driving like banning anyone under 18 from using their phones at all while driving, which makes sense. My favorite one that they introduced was HB 109 which includes reading and grooming while driving! Yes ladies that would mean no more putting makeup on while driving, and guys no more shaving while driving.
Griffin Announces AppPowered MOTO TC Rally RC Car
So I was all excited about this until I saw it was only for iOS devices and not Android. Is it really that hard to make something cross compatible? Last I checked Android has the leading market share right? So why not make your device work with both? Makes no sense to me but then again not much makes sense when it comes to this type of thing really. Anyway Griffin has just announced a new RC toy called the Moto TC Rally which works most iOS devices and you just download an app that let’s you control the car remotely. Price is $99.99 and I just have to say WOW at that price…

Mobility Digest Review: 1-to-3 Car Cigarette Lighter Power Port Splitter
We live in very mobile times and that means power on the go. My car is a 2011 Subaru Forester and it includes several power receptacles in it so I’m all set really, but go back a few years and cars usually only came with one. Having several mobile devices that need power but only one outlet isn’t ideal so you’ll have to either buy a new car or figure a way to multiply your outlets and that’s the product I have for review today comes in. Today I have a quick review of a very inexpensive but yet very handy little gadget that can take one power port and split it into three for you so you can charge three mobile devices at once from a single power port.
Mobility Digest Review: Car Charger with 4 USB Ports and 1 Cigarette Socket
Happy Sunday guys and gals, I’ve got a quick review for you today of a little gadget that I think many of you might find useful. It doesn’t have an official name just ‘Car Charger with 4 USB Ports and 1 Cigarette Socket’ and that’s exactly what it is and what it does. There’s not much more to it than that really, but it will add four USB ports so you can charge four devices at one time, but there’s also the extra power port to charge even more.
Mobility Digest Review: BeeWi Mini Cooper S Bluetooth Controlled Car
Remote control anything I just love so when I had the chance to review a remote control Mini Cooper I said yes of course. You might wonder why I’m reviewing a toy here, but it’s controlled over Bluetooth with your phone. I think that’s cause enough to be reviewed here. The BeeWi Mini Cooper S was provided by MobileFun for my review and you can control it by touch button controls or by using the gyroscopic sensor in your phone. I have to say it’s a lot of fun, probably the most fun I’ve had with a phone in a long time.
Mobility Digest Reviews: Sony DSXS300BTX
My car stereo recently began malfunctioning so I figured why not upgrade to something more to my taste. With my Windows Phone, I take advantage of ZunePass a great deal so I was looking for a Bluetooth capable device as I don’t care much for wires. Fast-forward through all my research and browsing, I came … Read more
Mobility Digest Review: Clingo Universal Vent Mount
Happy New Year! Yep I’m back with another universal style car mount review today, but this one is very different from the one I posted yesterday. The main difference is that I like it so much that I can easily recommend it to you. It’s from a company called Clingo and it was supplied by Mobile Fun for review. The mount doesn’t use any type of clip to hold your phone, sounds weird right?! It uses a special adhesive that’s reusable, your phone just sticks to it, and I mean it sticks to this thing to the point where you’ve got to almost fight to get it off. Anyway read on to learn more..
