| MyForce: Security When You Need It Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:28 AM PDT
MyForce, mobile personal security system, goes with you everywhere. By subscribing to the service and downloading the app you arm yourself with an instant alert to the MyForce Monitoring Team who can quickly signal local authorities if an unsafe situation arisres. Say you are about to walk through an empty parking garage at night and you do not feel safe. Launch the app on your phone. If a situation should arise, trigger the MyForce alert button and you are connected to the monitoring team. They team will try to validate with you, vocally, and understand the situation. If a situation exists where you can't speak to them simply let them hear what is going on. If unable to talk to you they will phone you back. If you don't give them the correct safe word they know something is awry and alert local authorities. And if you have slippery fingers not to worry, you can easily cancel an alert too. The possible uses for you or your loved ones are really endless: young ones walking from school, college students on campus at night, late night workers or even the elderly. MyForce is available for $11.99/month. Or save with a$119.99 annual subscription. Additional annual subscriptions are then just $69.99. At present MyForce is available in the 50 US states. In the grand scheme of personal safety, MyForce seems like a small investment for you and the ones you love. [ MyForce: Security When You Need It copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

A couple of 2.5" in diameter motion sensors are placed in a secret, non-obvious place to detect whether there is someone in the vicinity who is not supposed to be there, sending the alert signal to you as you wear the wrist cuff. It works within a 100 feet radius, so if you are out of the house and jogging around the neighborhood, then too bad. The wrist cuff boasts of two separate displays which will correspond to each sensor, flashing red when either or both are triggered by remote movement, in addition to a choice between having the alarm sound or being completely silent. Make sure you have rechargeable AAA batteries handy always!  [ Stay Out Of My Room Alarm copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| The Impossible Instant Lab – for High Tech Retro Photos Posted: 14 Sep 2012 06:15 AM PDT
Is there anyone out there (thats old enough) that didn’t own a Polaroid camera? I remember when one of those little fold up leatherette SX-70 cameras was about as high tech as you could get. Listening to the little motor grind as the picture fed out of the hopper, warming the picture against your chest or waving it in mid-air in the hopes of hastening the developing process. The camera is a dinosaur, and its demise marked the end of an era. Or did it? Who knew there was a whole bunch of us out there that still loved the instant photo? Well, The Impossible Instant Lab will make you smile, while it bridges the gap between digital and concrete, by taking the photos stored away on your iPhone and turning them into actual Polaroid-esque prints, to have, and to hold, or simply to give away. The folks over at Impossible (located in Germany) were so passionate about the old Polaroids they actually bought the factory (to ensure film stockpiles) and set out to develop a device that would get your stored photos out of digital storage, and into the real world with all the style and wonder of those beloved foldable cameras. The Impossible Instant Lab is another really cool Kickstarter project that raised a lot more than its original 250 thousand dollar goal, all with time to spare. So if you’re itching for a picture you can watch develop before your eyes complete with the iconic white border then keep your eye out for The Impossible Instant Lab , available for pre-order at a discounted price of around 229 bucks. Shipping is expected in February of 2013. Please visit kickstarter.com for video and more information. Say cheese!

| Does the iPhone 5 Make your Old Accessories Obsolete? Posted: 14 Sep 2012 06:08 AM PDT
I’m on the fence as to how I feel about the new iPhone. I can say that I only recently broke down and got the 4S… only weeks before the 5, which always happens to me. When I start to feel really aggravated I think about all those iGizmo makers, all their stuff just got obsolete as well. The iPhone 5 has a brandy-new plug… it won’t work with things like my old speakers, so now what? How can I use all my old accessories with this new eight-prong “Lightning” connector. It’s so much smaller than the classic 30-pin connector that graces my iPod, iPad and iPhone. Never fear, of course Apple has you covered, for a price. Check out the Lightening-to-30 pin adaptor already available for pre-order at the Apple Store. So the new connector will let you get more mileage out of your old accessories although video and iPod out will not be available. So the question is this, is the lure of the new iPhone enough to make you want to shell out an additional 29 bucks to be able to still use your old accessories? or will you step up and buy new ones? The Lightening-to-30 pin Adaptor is currently available only for pre-order, with shipping expected sometime in October. Sign up for yours at Apple.com and let me know what’s hot (or not) about the new lineup of Apple iGadgets. [ Does the iPhone 5 Make your Old Accessories Obsolete? copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Color-Change LED Candle Set with Remote Posted: 14 Sep 2012 06:00 AM PDT
The Color-Change LED Candle Set will include a trio of pillar candles that measure 4″, 5″, and 6″, respectively, alongside a remote so that you are able to have your say in how each candle should "burn", and for how long. You are able to use the remote to change your candle’s flame color to suit your mood, with a dozen colors to choose from, you're spoilt for choice. Since these are electronically powered, make sure you have enough AAA batteries to keep each of the candles powered! It is made out of real wax though, with a naturally melted top for that added touch of realism. [ Color-Change LED Candle Set with Remote copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

| Sprint to offer the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G smartphone Posted: 14 Sep 2012 05:30 AM PDT
Now, the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G does seem to be quite the mouthful, don't you think so? Sprint is happy to declare that they are the only carrier to offer "Truly Unlimited" 4G LTE data, text and calling to any mobile, and will offer the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE at a price that is pocket friendly. We are looking at a 4G LTE handset that will cost less than $100 a pop, where it is even cheaper after a $50 mail-in rebate, all starting from September 16th onwards alongside a new 2-year agreement. . The Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G will come with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system right out of the box, alongside a 1.2GHz dual-core processor to keep things running nice and smooth. Apart from that, you will also be able to benefit from a 4-inch touchscreen display as well as enjoy access to the Sprint 4G LTE network. At the back there is a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and video capture ability, while the front has a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. Google Wallet support also turns the smartphone into a wallet thanks to Near Field Communication (NFC) integration, helping you make safe purchases at more than 100,000 participating retailers. A 2,100 lithium-Ion battery is said to deliver up to 9 hours talktime, where it is accompanied by 1GB RAM, 4GB ROM and a microSD memory card slot. David Owens, vice president – Product Development, Sprint, said, "Price is often a barrier for customers who are ready to transition from a feature phone to a smartphone; Samsung Galaxy Victory brings Sprint 4G LTE to the mass market with the high-end features and capabilities of a premium Android smartphone. Priced under $100 and paired with Truly Unlimited data from Sprint, our customers will appreciate the functionality of this device without worrying about costly monthly rate plans or surprises on their wireless bill."

When kids start to grow up with the rest of their siblings, they tend to get territorial with their personal space. It makes perfect sense after all, as we are all trying to figure out just who we are, and sometimes, we do need the breathing room to get that bit done. Some boys might be a bit more adventurous and create "traps" in their rooms so that whoever goes around snooping without prior permission will get caught, red-handed. With the 
When I was a kid, there was this thing called kerosene lamps which were used around the home simply because the local utility company is not too hot on reliability with their electricity supply. One thing I was always reminded to look out for by my parents were to make sure the kerosene lamp is nowhere near anything flammable. Candles too, can be a substitute for the lamp, but those are also fire hazards in their own right. With the 
When it comes to naming your devices, it takes a keen eye and brain to figure out what suits the masses and what doesn't. Keeping things short and sweet is a good mantra to have in mind, so when it comes to naming convention for smartphones, I guess you can say that Apple has gotten the entire exercise down pat. Well, the same cannot be said for Samsung, as Sprint's latest smartphone offering comes in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G.| You are subscribed to email updates from Coolest Gadgets To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
