When I first heard about a new product from Dynaflo that claimed to protect the screen of your mobile device without the fuss of installation, bubbles and dust I was intrigued.  I’m big into protecting my iPhone and iPad screens  but don’t like having to deal with the difficult process doing so entails.  I managed to get my hands of some of Dynaflo’s Liquid Armor Invisible Screen Shield product along with some Clear-Coat as well to test.  How did both handle the scratch tests I threw at them?  Click on through to watch my video review epic battle and find out.

You can learn more about Dynaflo Liquid Armor here and more about Clear-Coat here.

There are plenty of options when it comes to external batteries.  If you’re a mobile device power user who needs to be able to recharge your device while on the go, away from an actual wall outlet, a good external battery is your answer.  The key is finding one that is the proper balance of size vs. power based in what you need to recharge.  Some batteries are specific to the iPhone.  Others pack little power.  The New Trent IMP99D is a beast of an external battery offering up 9900 mAh of recharging power.  That’s enough to recharge 5 iPhones!  It has the option to charge two USB powered devices at the same time and even works with the heavier power requirements of the iPad.

Hit the jump to check out my video review of the IMP99D.  Then head to this page on the New Trent web site to learn more about it.

Review: MailTones for iOS

If you’re anything like me you probably get a ton of emails.  It seems for most of us email has become the primary way we use to contact one another.  The MailTones app is a fun app for the Phone, iPod Touch, or Blackberry that is helpful in alerting you when you have new emails.  By allowing you to set different sounds for different triggers (senders, subjects etc.) you’ll know who emailed you without ever having to take your phone out of your pocket or purse.

We live in a time where credit cards are in almost everyone’s pockets. Sometimes it can be hard to be a small business owner, and not be able to accept plastic as payment. NetSecure has made available their Kudos credit card payment kit available to consumers in the United States.

Day 3: More Tech at Saxbys

20110831-091823.jpg

So it’s day three of the new job and stopping in at the local Saxbys Coffee for some early morning fuel is becoming a regular thing. The first day I spotted iPads at all the tables and today it was this. A mobile charging station right at the front of the store. The free charging station has a wide variety of ready to use power cables for iPhone, Android, Blackberry and others. You’ve probably spotted these at airports and other public venues and I know they’re nothing new but I’m starting to believe this particular Saxbys is the greatest coffee shop on earth. iPads at all the tables and free charging stations? What more could a geek ask for? I’ll show you in another post later this week. Yea, there’s more.
