3 Gadgets 4rm #CES That Make You 4get it's #FridayThe13th

CES is a magnet for all types of off the wall gadgets. Had you been there you may have had the chance to play with a robotic ball controlled by bluetooth, weigh your baby on a scale with an app to process that RugRat, or sing in the the shower with back up from a waterproof bluetooth speaker. Now, that I think about I'd like to do all those things. I'd probably weigh a turkey or Cornish Hen or something instead. All that I want to tell you about a couple pieces of electronics that are a bit more practical, or at least relevant to you.

1st off is the BodyMedia Link Armband. The year is still fresh and we know you are fighting your best to keep that New Years Resolution to lose 15 pounds going strong. This armband is something you'll love. Not only does it track the steps you've taken, the distance you've traveled, and the time you've spent with that physical activity; but it also tracks the calories you've burnt via a series of skin sensors monitoring temperature, perspiration, and such to give you the most accurate count. Even when you are sleep, it works keeping track of how efficient your rest is. You'll be able manage the processed information with software on your computer and smartphone for your convenience. They plan to release a less expensive disposable patch that you can wear for a week as well so stay on the lookout.

Next we have the Droid RAZR MAXX which is the relaunch of the original Verizon Motorola phone . I know we can get a little clumsy and so does Motorola. That's they've suited the phone with Kevlar mesh. Don't try to to shoot your phone or anything. Just know that you've got extra protection. The aluminum chassis and gorrilla glass contribute as well. Let get real. No one is in a hurry to pay that insurance deductible. The phone has retained most of the high-end technical specs as the original such as the 1.2GHZ dual processor (fast), the 8MP rear-facing camera and front-facing camera with HD (pretty), and 4.3" AMOLED screen (roomy). The amount of internal memory had double to 32GB and if that isn't enough it's still retained the microSD card slot. Drum roll, please. The ace kicker about this phone is it's whopping 21 hours of talk time. The biggest shot at android phones is that they don't have satisfactory battery life. It's running on gingerbread (Android 2.3.5) & soon to be updated to ice cream (android 4.0). 

Finally  we have a real game-changer called the Dot by Kogeto. We know how much sharing social media is becoming. Startups like Tout, which is like twitter for videos, are emerging with great velocity. This iPhone attachment lets you capture 360 degree video. Imagine going to a concert and being able to view literally everything going around you down to that jerk that was throwing redhots at you when you weren't looking. There is an associated app called looker that lets you post to facebook, twitter, and kogeto.com right there on the spot. I can't wait to see the interesting thing people do with this technology.

That concludes it for now. Hope I've been a help.
