Wireless Chargers

What if it was possible to have one only charger for many different devices? Yeah, now it is possible with the wireless chargers available in the market. The traditional chargers are based on conductive charging, which uses a wire or contact with batteries. On the other hand, the new techonology is based on inductive charging that uses magnetic and electromagnetic energy to induce a transfer of power wiressly. Of course the device you look forward to charging wiressly has to have the inductive charging built in, and you will be good to go. You can find a few good wireless chargers in the market priced from $25.00 and $100.00. Duracell and Energizer are two of the wireless chargers makers.

The Nintendo 3DS


The new Nintendo 3DS  was recently released on March 27th, and it is the very first 3D portable glassesfree handheld. I have been reading about the new 3DS and was wondering how much it would cost, and I honeslty think that the $250.00 that was stablished is not that bad. The Nintendo DSi, the version prior 3DS is priced at $150.00 as if right now so it will jump an extra $100 for the new version of the Nintendo DS. How do you feel about it? Would you purchase one? I cant wait to see it around!

Motorola Atrix 4G

I was kinda surprised when I first heard about the new Motorola Atrix 4G, and nowadays I just want to read more and more about it. The new Motorola Atrix 4G offers the mobility of a phone, and the usability of a laptop in one only product. It has the first dual-core-processor phone from AT&T, and can be attached to a laptoplike base. The Atrix 4G runs Android 2.2, has a full HTML 5 browser, and supports HD video. It also rocks 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, figerprint recognizer, and a powerful battery. What I have been wondering is that if this technology is going to be something that will stay in the market for a while and become a success or if it will just disappear in a few months. What do you think?

Secure file sharing for two pcs => iTwin

This little and cute device that looks like a funny USB flash drive is in reality a peer-to-peer file sharing gadget made by a company also called iTwin. It can be devided in two pieces and each piece should go on one pc and they communicate creating a wireless connection in between them. The cool part about it is the 256-bit AES encryption. The iTwin can be purchased by $99, which I think is pretty reasonable price.


Its more than worth to check it out:

Android leads the smartphone market over iPhone and BlackBerry (yeah, Im a Android user)!

I believe that the fact that iPhones are not taking over the whole smartphone market is a great thing, that way we have competition and new techs and apps coming along all the time. I am a Android user and I do not see myself using an iPhone or BlackBerry anytime soon, not because I have something againts it but just because Im totally happy with my Android device. On another hand, I have several friends who have iPhones and Blackberries and would not switch. Are you and Android, BlackBerry or iPhone user? What are your thoughts?



 "Android devices made by several manufacturers were used by 29% of the U.S. market in the November-through-January reporting period. In comparison, Apple iPhones and BlackBerry devices from Research In Motion each had a 27% share...." (read more on the link below for Computer World).

The new iPad

Apple announced that their second version of the iPad is coming out on march the 11th, and it has a lot of good improvements. The new iPad is as interesting as the new Motorola Xoom, with the price advantage. The new Motorola Xoom is being sold at $799,00 without contract, and the new iPad will be sold at an starting price of $499,00. I know that the new Motorola Xoom was released first and looks just awesome, but Im not quite sure what will happen when the new iPad is available. It is hard to imagine that people would pay $300,00 more for the Motorola Xoom, on top of not preferring the new iPad just for the sake of it. I guess we will have to wait and see. I'm posting the specifications for the two versions of iPads so that we can compare them, and its also worth it to watch the video on the link below. Enjoy it, and please write any thoughts =)
