Lenovo IdeaPad
webIdeapadinnforshow I love getting boxes. The other day was a great example. I received a decent sized box and, upon opening it, I found a Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Tablet. This is a laptop/tablet unit that sacrifices low weight and a thin profile to give more powerful capabilities, a real keyboard as well as a virtual one, and a 320GB hard drive. A 33GB portion of that drive is allocated for use if you want to restore an IdeaPad to factory specs. I am in a Lenovo test program that allows me to work with the IdeaPad S10-3t for 6 months. During that period I will see if the extra weight is worth it or not. I plan to post details of my testing results during the 6 month period. Lenovo is currently running a limited time offer where you can purchase the S10-3t Tablet for $499.99. That is $200.00 less than the list price on their website. This offer includes free shipping.

Griffin Survivor Case for iPhone
Is it for you?
Griffin provided the Survivor Case for the iPhone to me for testing. My case is military Olive green in color and protection. It protects almost all possible invasions but full water emersion. Case color options are Black, White/black, Pink/black, or Olive Green.

My guess is watching the video of the Griffin tests of the Survivor case LINK will do more for you than any words I can come up with in this review. Click here: www.griffintechnology.com/armored

MoGo Talk XD 2 for iPhone 4 - Protection with freedom
A case with a Bluetooth headset
webphotomogo-talk-xd2 Up until now I have avoided those ubiquitous headsets that people wear stuck in their ear all day long. I guess it just seems embarrassing to be seen walking around a grocery store, or just in public, with that thing hanging there for all to see. I do not need that instant capability to constantly access to my phone that some may. I did find a good reason for using the MoGo Talk XD 2 for iPhone. It is a big help when driving! In the past I have heard the ringtone and had to reach deep into my pants pocket to get my hands on the iPhone, yank it out, and then slide a finger across the locking slider to answer it. By the time I say hello I am so distracted I could have hit several cars or a fire hydrant. If I am thinking clearly I just ignore the phone. Now I just tap the MoGo Talk XD2 headset button once and get connected without any issues.
