Travel In Style With The MobileEdge Line

Mobile Edge Line of Products

When traveling with the laptop it can be sometimes cumbersome to carry all of the components and still sport style and personality.  Many of the laptop bags and totes on the market have a very industrial look to them and scream laptop! For many women that like to accessorize and have stylish designs this can be a bit of a challenge to find.

MobileEdge has the solution with its recent introduction of a Herringbone design of a laptop bag which not only looks good but is very functional. The company backs the design and function with a Lifetime Warranty. Inside the line, users will find 3 different types of bags. A Small Design which retails for around 99.99 and features room for ultra portables, padding in the compartment for safer travel with the device, an additional poly fur lined pocket for the addition of a tablet or iPad, a separate accordion file section and a matching clutch for a variety of accessories. I loved the fact that the bag also includes a zip down workstation which allows access to cell phones, memory sticks and even a place to store keys. It is a great solution to a mobile office and having the needed items on hand.

The Larger version fits some of the larger laptops, desktop replacements and the features listed above. The SRP for the larger bag is only an increase of about 20.00 from the small bag. If you are looking for a simple but stylish solution for your Ultra or tablet, Mobile Edge also carries a tote designed for around for a SRP of 59.99. Even with its smaller size, this tote still features a mobile workstation inside of it for easy access to cell, memory cards, pens and even keys. The tote features a front pouch for carrying magazines and material for the traveler. We find the same back type pocket on the small and large bags as well.

MobileEdge also produces products for Men as well as some awesome accessories for the mobile user . We found products from a USB 10 Key Keyboard add on to a mobile power add on for your car.

KMSB Fox 11 Segment – Apogee Digital

Every other week Andy Taylor of TechtalkRadio visits KMSB Fox 11 to share the latest in Tech and Gadgets for the Consumer and Small Business. In one of our recent segments, Andy talked with Mark Stine about a drive from the Arizona Technology Council to recycle used electronics.

Everything from Big Screen Televisions to Old Computer Towers were recycled in this drive and while the push was on for a set period of time, the effort continues. Check with your local Electronics and Computer dealers on how they can help recycle your older systems.

Locally in the Tucson Area, SWS Electronics and Computers will work with you and recycle your older computers and the Arizona Technology Council may be able to provide an expanded list.

We also shared a very cool product from Apogee Digital for the Desktop which is for recording directly into your iPad, iPhone or Mac. Field Reporting just got a whole bit easier!

The MOS Organizer – Magnetic Organization System

The MOS Organizer
The Magnetic Organization System

Cables, Cables, Cables!! It seems that we can never get rid of our cables. They probably wouldn’t be that much of an issue if they didn’t always seem to fall behind the desk or turn into a mountain of spaghetti. Cable organizing devices have come along that usually place the cables out of site and still require some fumbling to find them when needed. That’s where Andrew Adams and Greg Peterson put their concept to work on Kickstarter.

The MOS or Magnetic Organization System helps eliminate cable and cord clutter with its base made up of a stylish anodized aluminum that can be wall mounted or set on the top of a desk to easily access the cord needed. Two other options in the MOS look is  a white plastic or black plastic base. A fine example of the use of the MOS is the plug in of a cell phone device to transfer files to the computer. No having to fumble through a desk or finding the right cable, this MOS device easily helps eliminate the frustrations of cable mess!

Priced at around 25 bucks the MOS also ships with 3 color coordinated ties which can be used on the cables without a great deal of metal in the base. The MOS is one of those devices that will sit on the desk, you may not think about it much once it’s in use however you will likely appreciate what it “brings to the table!” My only concern is to remind this is a magnetic device. While it can sit on your desk, preferably not under your monitor, you will want to keep your cell phones and other electronics clear of this. It certainly looks good on the desktop and more projects are funding through Kickstarter to bring these items from Andrew and Greg to manufacturing.

New Survey Indicates Kids want Laptops this Holiday Season!

A New Survey from E-Tailer Ebates. Com has found that the top requested item for the holidays from the kids this year is a new Laptop! Kevin H. Johnson, CEO of Ebates. “It’s interesting to see how the older kids want a laptop while the younger kids generally would prefer a smartphone or tablet. No matter which one parents plan to buy, between our coupons and cash back, we can save shoppers more than 20% on laptop and tablet purchases,” said Johnson.

In the Survey it was found that Boys and Girls ages 16-18 would like to have a laptop while Boys 13-15 would like the latest iPhone and Girls in the same age demographic would rather have clothes! Even though the push for new tablet sales on television and other media, only the Boy’s Aged 8-9 were wishing for a 10″ tablet. Whatever happened to the Electric Train Set…

This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of Ebates from October 17-24, 2012 among 1,121 8-18 year olds.

This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
