by

For review today I have a mini bluetooth keyboard from brando.com I recenly got a HD2 and the one huge issue I had going from the touch pro 2 to the HD2  was the keyboard.

Mobility Digest Review: Smartparts SPDPF104 10.4” Digital Photo Frame

Hello guys! I’m back with another review, I’m a bit behind after being sick with the flu or whatever it was, then it turned into a sinus infection, so I’ve been rather miserable for the last week or so. I’m still a bit stuffy, but I feel better and I’m almost back to my former … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: Motorola H17txt with MotoSpeak Bluetooth Headset

by

Today for review I have a bluetooth headset from Motorola called the H17txt, odd name yes, but it’s much motobt12 more than just a headset. This specific headset features MotoSpeak or the ability for you to listen to text messages and emails sent to you in the headset. While you’re driving or whatever you’re doing, when you get a message it will be read to you right through the headset. It works with either Android or Blackberry phones, and since I don’t have a BlackBerry I’m using my Android phone, specifically the Motorola Cliq XT. The software is very configurable with many options, but the downside is that to get full functionality you’ll need to get the full version which will cost you $13.95. I found the ‘lite’ version to be more than adequate though for my uses. Anyway, read on to learn more about the H17txt and MotoSpeak…

Mobility Digest Review: 7" Philips PET741B Widescreen Portable DVD Player

by

Welcome to another review on Mobility Digest, this isn’t a phone, but this is Mobility Digest, not Phone dvd1 Digest meaning that anything mobility counts right? We should diversify and not just review phones, but we should review anything that’s related to being mobile. Yes we can have a larger focus on phones, but i think we should think everything mobility related and not limit ourselves.

Today for review I’ve got one of Geeks cheap portable DVD players, it’s the Phillips PET741B model actually and it’s a widescreen player that works fairly well overall. It’s small, it’s portable and it works well. The player is a basic one yes, but it works for playing DVDs and CDs, and what more could you ask for right?!

Mobility Digest Review: Air Display Review

by

Based on several reported studies dual monitor setups have shown to increase work productivity. Thus Air Display09 adding a second display even a small one can make most users work more efficiently. Today we will be looking at Air Display which is an iPad app that leverages the iPad screen as a secondary display when networked to a Mac machine. Although the iPad screen is smaller in relation to most Apple displays it still provides additional real estate for running programs outside of the main screen.

Another exciting feature using Air Display is the ability to use the iPad as a tablet input device. Using the iPad as the secondary display you can move tool palettes from programs such as Word, Excel, Photoshop off the main screen.

Air Display works on a server (Mac machine) and client (iPad) model similar to the Synergy program which allows a single mouse and keyboard to control machines running different operating systems such as Windows, Linux and OSx via networking protocols.

Air Display retails for $9.99 and works with Macs running OS X. 10.5.8 or higher. Currently Air Display only works with OS X but Avatron Software is working on a Windows version as well.

Mobility Digest Review: Apple iPod nano 5th Generation 8GB Review

by

The word iPod seems to have become a generic term anymore for MP3 player, and I’ve also noticed that the term MP3 players means iPod to many people. Even my two oldest kids who are only 8 and 9 know what an iPod is and they think any MP3 player is called an iPod. I have a limited edition Gears of War 2 120gb Zune that my kids call an iPod, it drive me nuts seriously… Apple has good marketing plain and simple..

Today for review Geeks.com has sent me over the Apple iPod nano 5th Generation. This new nano comes complete with a larger screen, video camera and a few other differences to the software when compared to the previous nano 4th. The one I got from Geeks is a refurb or used unit but it looks like new.

It’s categorized under camcorders on their site where you can find several refurbished camcorders for cheap, but it’s also categorized under MP3 players, but it’s an iPod, so at Geeks you can now get cheap iPods too! They carry pretty much everything, an no I’m not paid to say that, I’ve been shopping at Geeks from many years myself…

Mobility Digest Review: RightWay RW 200 3.5" Touchscreen GPS

by

Hello Folks! Today for review I’ve got another Portable GPS navigation device for review from our friends over at Geeks.com. This one though is one that I never heard of, it’s a brand called RightWay and it’s the model RW 200 which features a 3.5” touch screen and a ton of other features. I’ve looked a a few GPS units in my time reviewing, but this one is the first that I’ve seen that can play movies, but it can also read ebooks, view photos and play music, it’s like a portable media player with GPS functionality and I like it. It’s not perfect though, but it works fairly well for everything it needs. This thing is though full of features, so this review is a bit long with lots of pictures.. Read on..
