Walshed Phones Getting 7392 Update

by

Looks like the Microsoft team has approved the fix for Walshed phones. I just plugged my Walshed Venue Pro to sync some music and got an update notice for 7392. Nothing else relevant to report. It does not appear that I got any firmware update. Hopefully the rumored May 18th date is legit and we … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: Toddy Gear: Toddy Smart Cloth

by

The fingerprint is the natural predator of the shiny electronic gadget. Touch screens and piano black finishes are the most susceptible victims. Although the shirt wipe is a temporary relief measure, it generally does not clean off a touch screen but more often just evens out the fingerprint grease film.

Today’s review item was designed specifically to clean electronic surfaces while adding a feature to protect both the device and user. The Toddy Smart Cloth is a microfiber screen cleaner created to keep even the most sensitive surfaces scratch free while offering an antimicrobial coating.

Mobility Digest Review: Clingo Parabolic Sound Sphere

Mobility Digest Review: Hornettek D-Slim Optical Drive

by

We are all about mobility here as I’m sure you may have noticed, the name may have given it away right?! Seriously though we live in a mobile society and we travel light, or at least I try to so one of the things I take with me is a netbook when I need more computing power than my phone can offer. One drawback to a netbooks is the lack of optical drive as I’m sure you know, so we need to either put everything on the hard drive, use a USB drive or purchase a portable optical drive. Today I’m taking a look at a portable DVD drive from a company called Hornettek, and it’s called the D-Slim. The drive is very nice looking with its brushed metal covering, and it connects via USB as you might expect. I put it up against my current drive from Samsung to see how it compares.

Mobility Digest Review: Dot Gloves for Capacitive Touch Screens

by

Winter is cold, and that means gloves. Most of the time we’ve got a choice to make, either gloves or our devices as you can’t operate a capacitive touchscreen with gloves on. Today for review I’ve got a review for you that I was supposed to post the other day actually, but life interferes as I’m sure you know. Anyway, the review is a product from our friends at Mobile Fun and it’s a pair of capacitive gloves called Dot Touch. These gloves allow you to keep your fingers warm but still operate any devices with a capacitive touch screen and surprisingly they work perfectly.

Mobility Digest Review: Clingo Universal Podium Phone And Media Desk Stand

by

Hello, happy Sunday to you all! I’m back with another review of a product from our friends at Mobile Fun. A while ago I took a look at the Clingo Universal Vent Mount and I still use it to this day. Today I have another Clingo product, this one uses the same sticky material to hold your phone in place, and it’s for your desk instead of your car. It consists of a fairly heavy metal base and a place for your phone to stick to. I like it, it woks well, it’s simple and easy to use.

Mobility Digest Review: Nikon COOLPIX S570 Camera

by

Geeks has got many refurbished cameras for sale, and they’ve sent me a fairly decent one over for review, the Nikon Coolpix S570.  It’s from Nikon so from the start you pretty much know it’s going to be a quality product, they’re a very well known company. The camera is a pocket camera, very small but yet it’s full of features that most anyone will appreciate.

Mobility Digest Review: Mini USB 2.0 LED Digital Projector

by

Lookie, Lookie it’s another review from me, four in a row, and that’s all I have right now actually. Today I’ve got another product from our friends at Geeks.com and it’s a mini LED projector that features a USB port so you can hook it directly to your computer to display your desktop on the big screen. The projector is very small, and it’s very well made, but it does have some flaws. There are many cheap digital projectors out there and really what can you expect for under $100 for a projector right, a few flaws are to be expected. Still though, read on to learn more…
