Personalize your mobile with the iaPeel skin

Posted: 25 Mar 2010 09:55 PM PDT

While I was at CTIA 2010 this year, I was bombarded by businesses who can somehow turn a profit by selling skins for mobile devices. Most of these businesses looked the same, but one of the most unusual ones that I saw was from a company known as iaPeel, “the only consumer printable skin system”.

All the user has to do is download some special software, and then he or she can put their own image on their skin. From there, it is as easy as printing off a deskjet printer.

These iaPeel skins are available for all kinds of mobile devices, and they are very easy to put on. They also have “a built-in precision alignment system that ensures a perfect fit every time”.

Not only are the iaPeel made from a durable material, but you may notice how the skin of this frame blends perfectly with the image on the device’s digital wallpaper. This is all part of the software.

The iaPeel doesn’t have a distributor as yet, but really should. I’m going to help them as much as I can. The cost is estimated to be $29.95 MSRP pakage, with 12 retail packages per box, 4 boxes per case, and one case minimum order. Find out more information about it here.

DriveNTalk KlaT 7 is another mobile device to improve driving

Posted: 25 Mar 2010 09:24 PM PDT

It appears that the iLane isn’t the only device that is made to help driving safe for mobile devices.

This is the DriveNTalk KlaT 7, which is Enustech’s new brand name, “living up to [the] true definition of its name (the DriveNTalk, not the KlaT, whatever that means). DriveNTalk has Voice command with its voice to text service, with no need to see or touch the unit for controlling it. Apparently, the device is solar powered.

The user can “enjoy the experience of a[n] optional service of sending SMS, e-mail, and/or SNS” through vocal control.

As you may have guessed, I saw this DriveNTalk KlaT 7 at CTIA, but the demonstration was quite sub-par. Granted, they had a car set up at the booth, which was more than what most booths had, but there was a lady at the booth who couldn’t get it to work properly.

My guess is that she was just a booth-babe. In case you aren’t familiar with that term, it is something very common in Vegas trade shows. There are the attractive females that the company hires to get men to approach the booth.

The DriveNTalk KlaT 7 doesn’t seem to be available, but here is a link to their website if you want to know some more information.

iLane: Not software, not Apple, but makes driving safer

Posted: 25 Mar 2010 08:51 PM PDT

Clearly, this whole texting-while-driving is a huge hot-button issue, as there was an entire area of the CTIA floor that was practically devoted to it.

Most of the devices were software that you could download on your mobile phone (usually an iPhone App form) so you could stop texting at certain speeds, or have your text messages read aloud to you. The iLane, which is not an Apple product, is “the world’s first and only in-car device that gives you complete control of your smartphone by using simple voice commands”.

This allows the driver to open, listen to, and respond to email by voice alone. The driver can also make and receive phone calls by saying a person’s name or phone number out loud, as well as answer phone calls with a simple vocal command. The driver can also have their calendar events read aloud as well.

The iLane is compatible with most Bluetbooth enabled BlackBerry Smartphone, and it is secure, non-server based using 256 BIT AES Encryption. In other words, what happens in the vehicle, stays in the vehicle. Dang, I have been in Vegas for too many days.

The iLane is up for distribution rights, but if you want to get it, go to the iLane site. Hopefully, it is a good product, or it could be iLame.
