I'm going to be reviewing a lot of cases here in the next few weeks, and I was very glad to finally review one from Trident. Trident does make some of the best cases besides company that rhymes with "Slaughter-fox". I have tested out the Kraken A.M.S. for the Samsung Galaxy S III. Let me say that it may not be able to withstand underwater, but I do know that it can stand … [Read more...] about Review of the Kraken A.M.S. Case for the Samsung Galaxy S III

Mobigrip makes certain you don’t drop your phone
Some of you might remember when we reported on the Flygrip, which is a device that adheres to the back of the phone so you can hold it easily in between two fingers. The Mobigrip is like that, but the user only uses one finger. As you can see in the picture, the user loops his or her finger around Mobigrip, and the disk part on the Mobigrip adheres to the phone. That is … [Read more...] about Mobigrip makes certain you don’t drop your phone
LG’s VuTalk is a really cool way of communicating
It really is interesting to see how technology can truly bring us closer together. I find it odd that people are meeting their girlfriends/boyfriends on chatrooms, and wondering how long before our chats online are just as good as face-to-face conversations. While I was at a party last night hosted by LG, I had a chance to see their new VuTalk feature in action. VuTalk … [Read more...] about LG’s VuTalk is a really cool way of communicating
Vyclone: Mix all those videos together
While I was at CTIA, I found several apps designed for mobile devices that are automated video editors. There was Muvee and Magisto, who I will surely write articles about at some later date. This time, I am going to focus on Vyclone. Vyclone is an application that allows you to make movies from more than just the videos on your phone. The way it works is that multiple … [Read more...] about Vyclone: Mix all those videos together
Hercules Holder: A simple solution to a pestering problem
While I am at CTIA this week, I am seeing a lot of simple solutions to pestering problems. One of them is how we use our cellular phones in the car. If you are like me, then you put your smartphone in the cup-holder of your car, because this is really the only place it can go. For some reason, only newer models of cars are addressing the fact that some people use their … [Read more...] about Hercules Holder: A simple solution to a pestering problem
Gevey Box presents the Umbrella case for the iPhone 5
There is a huge market for creating smartphone cases that will stand the pressure of life. Companies like Otterbox seem to make cases that stand up to the "big four" of snow, shock, water, and dust. I saw a company at CTIA known as GeveyBox, and they have an iPhone 5 case that is appropriately named The Umbrella. It protects against the aforementioned "big four", and I … [Read more...] about Gevey Box presents the Umbrella case for the iPhone 5
Clear-coat’s Aurora gives a smartphone a futuristic gold-chrome look
I have seen Clear-coat for years, and they are very good and taking iPod, iPads, and other mobile devices and making them all the colors of the rainbow. They are also good at providing clear protective coatings as well. Of course, a lot of businesses do that, but nothing that I have seen compares to the Aurora. The Aurora caught my eye at CTIA as I saw it on a rotating … [Read more...] about Clear-coat’s Aurora gives a smartphone a futuristic gold-chrome look
Zipwhip makes a landline text-able
Texting is one of those things that really took over, didn't it? Before we knew it, people were texting on dumbphones more than they were talking. However, most businesses still have a landline, which means that texting is not an option. However, a Seattle-based company known as Zipwhip has changed all that with a service that allows cell phone users to text … [Read more...] about Zipwhip makes a landline text-able
Artificial Solutions Indigo is not your average personal assistant
Last night at CTIA Showstoppers, I had a chance to encounter Indigo from Artificial Solutions, a personal assistant application. I found that all you needed to do is speak into it, and it would answer you. I never thought I would see a day when this vocal recognition would be ho-hum tech. I'm sure that you are probably thinking the same thing: Siri and Google Voice do that. … [Read more...] about Artificial Solutions Indigo is not your average personal assistant
TIP Solutions presents CallSnap App
I think we are in an age where we don't accept a busy signal any more. Most of us have voicemails set up, but imagine an age where you call someone up, and you see the reason why he or she is not answering the phone. This age is now. Last night at CTIA Showstoppers, I discovered an app known as CallSnap which works like this: 1) You receive a call from someone, but … [Read more...] about TIP Solutions presents CallSnap App
The CAT B15 Smartphone, or Catphone
I know you are looking at the headline and thinking...seriously, Catphone? I suppose that if Catwoman had a phone like Batman, that would be the appropriate name. The B15 smartphone is made by CAT. I'm sure that logo in the illustration probably looks familiar to you as you have no doubt seen it on construction vehicles. I suppose that the Catphone is a mobile device … [Read more...] about The CAT B15 Smartphone, or Catphone
P2i explains that one day, your phone will be waterproof
Some of you know that I am very interested in anything that can make a phone water-repellent. At CES, I was very pleased with Liquipel, and I couldn't help but wonder why in the world cellular phone companies don't have water-resistant coatings from the very start. I found out from other tech minds (who I hope are non-cynical) that most carriers are glad when people drop … [Read more...] about P2i explains that one day, your phone will be waterproof
Nokia unveils the Lumia 925 smartphone
I probably should have brought this up yesterday, but Nokia announced the Lumia 925 smartphone. This phone is apparently a "new interpretation" of the Nokia Lumia 920. Part of the charm of the 925 is that it has a metal design. I'm not certain if that will create some more subscribers, but hey, let's get out of the age of plastic. The Lumia 925 also has this as a … [Read more...] about Nokia unveils the Lumia 925 smartphone
Enter Morephone, the smartphone of the future!
I think it is interesting that most of us have cellular phones so we can be reached anywhere, but somehow, I miss most of my phone calls. Part of it is my fault, as I often mute my phone during an event and then forget to unmute it later. Imagine if your cellular phone gave you a more visual cue that it was ringing. I am not talking about something on the screen that … [Read more...] about Enter Morephone, the smartphone of the future!
ARCHOS gets into the smartphone business with the 35 Carbon, 50 Platinum, and 53 Platinum
I have seen Archos come out with some interesting products, and some of their memorable ones are Android tablets which I have tired out. I believe that this is the first time for Archos, but they are going into the smartphone market. You can see the labels for what they are, but there are some similarities of unlocked 7.2Mbps HSPA 3G, dual SIM slots, Android, and 4GB of … [Read more...] about ARCHOS gets into the smartphone business with the 35 Carbon, 50 Platinum, and 53 Platinum
