Help Lost Stuff Find Its Way Home

Have you heard about RuMe? Great concept. It is a Denver based company that created a line of reusable (hence ReUseMe…RuMe) bags, travel accessory bags, even a cuff with a pocket. Yet theirs don't look like your typical 'go green' type bags. These have a sense of style. Recycled aluminum iPhone cases crept into the product offering too. In the interest of safety – both for property and people – RuMe has another product category that could come in handy for our luggage, pets or anything you don’t want to lose.

Using QR code technology, RuMe produced a line of pet tags, key tags, luggage tags and decals they call the RuMeID. After purchasing a unit you hop on their secure website to register your information. Then place the tag or decal wherever you choose. Should some kind soul find your coded item they simply scan the code and get necessary contact information – but never all your information – and can reach out to you. Obviously it is a cinch to hop online and change your information as needed, even per trip. Fido may get lost, but anyone with a QR scanning app can help him find his way home. And if your child has lost a Nintendo DS you can probably relate to the importance of the decals (and fellow sympathetic parents that know its importance in a child’s life). RuMeID pet tags, key tags and decals start at $9.95 with luggage tags starting at $14.95 on their website. And there are a variety of shapes, colors and patterns to suit anyone. What a unique gift idea! Or maybe you need it to just keep track of your own life.

Griffin MouthStick Stylus

I know that we live in an age where medical advances abound, but we are still not quite on the same level as that of Star Wars or Star Trek yet, where neural implants and cybernetics have advanced to such a point, where even a severely weakened Darth Vader could still end up being an imposing Sith Lord with the help of Emperor Palpatine and his reconstructive medical center. Having said that, here is a new age device that has debuted at HIMSS13, where it is known as the Griffin MouthStick Stylus and was specially designed after receiving the necessary input from medical professionals.

The Griffin MouthStick Stylus intends to expand the world of tablets, where it will bring touchscreen and button interaction to those who are living with manual disabilities. Yes sir, have you ever wondered how a disabled person, especially one who has lost their limbs or use of them, be able to make use of all current generation touchscreen handsets? The Griffin MouthStick Stylus will fit the bill nicely, where it was specially designed to provide comfort, stability and control while being held in the mouth.

According to Melissa Lapsley, B2B Education & Assistive Technology Product Specialist at Griffin Technology, "Everyone wants access to tablet technology. With our MouthStick Stylus, we're providing a customized tool that allows people with motor disabilities the ability to have complete control and access to modern-day technology."

The Griffin MouthStick Stylus will play nice with touchscreen interfaces, laptop keyboards, and Apple’s Magic Trackpad, where those who lack fine motor skills are still able to easily access and control touch-technology. Thanks to a well-balanced design, the stick can be held comfortably in the mouth without causing any form of strain or discomfort. The Griffin MouthStick Stylus will comprise of four parts, including a food-grade stainless steel mouthpiece, BPA- and latex-free silicone rubber mouthpiece sleeves, a conductive silicone rubber tip, and an adjustable aluminum gooseneck shaft.

Expect the Griffin Mouthstick Stylus to be available to the masses this coming Q2 for $29.99 a pop.

PowerSkin for iPhone 5 is super slim

So, you have gotten yourself a spanking new iPhone 5, and to your amazement, you realize that this has been the smartphone which you have been looking out all this while. Thing is, with the sheer number of apps as well as functionality that keeps you glued to your handset most of the day (to the chagrin of your missus, I might add) had you realize that the iPhone 5 lacks one thing – a high capacity battery to handle all that you throw at it. Well, good thing there is this thing known as peripherals, and this is where the new PowerSkin for iPhone 5 comes in handy.

I am quite sure that many of us smartphone owners have already heard of PowerSkin, the manufacturer of shock-absorbing, battery-boosting cases for smartphones as well as gaming accessories, where they have just introduced their second Apple-certified external charging solution for the iPhone 5, which comes along not too far apart from the PoP'n external battery charger.

With the PowerSkin for iPhone 5, you will be able to take advantage of another 1,500 mAh of power capacity, which theoretically speaking, is capable of extending talk time by another 6.5 hours in addition to music time of up to 32 hours. There will be an on/off button which is strategically placed at the back so that users are able to power-on-demand, while the presence of LED battery lights will show just how much juice there is left in the PowerSkin for iPhone 5.

If you are interested in picking up the PowerSkin for iPhone 5, it is readily available over online here, retailing for $79.99 a pop, and if you have decided to place your order, it will be accompanied by free express shipping through till March 7. Well, what are you waiting for? There is nothing quite like the ability to draw on power reserves for sure!

Jumbo Caller ID

You know that as we age, some of us do experience a "breakdown" in our body parts, that goes without saying. After all, mankind was not "built" to last, so to speak, so some of us start to require a pair of glasses, while others lose their sense of hearing (or even to the scourge of Alzheimer's, the Long Goodbye). Good thing is, there has been medical advances which have helped stunt or arrest some of these degradations, although some like Alzheimer's, have no clear cure in sight yet. Still, those who are suffering from poorer eyesight will be pleased to hear that there is help in the form of surgery in some cases, correction lenses, and just for today, the $24.95 Jumbo Caller ID.

Yes sir, the Jumbo Caller ID says it all, doesn't it? It sports a bright, backlit LCD display that works as named, giving you all the nitty gritty required at a glance as to who is calling (as long as the name of the caller is entered into the database, of course) in addition to the number. It all remains whether you want to pick up the call or not. The Jumbo Caller ID will feature enough memory for up to 99 names and numbers, has a message waiting indicator, caller ID callback, and over a dozen more other functions to keep senior citizens happy. Since it comes in bi-lingual (English and Spanish) support, something tells me that this targets the Americas more than anywhere else. Powered by a quartet of AAA batteries, the Jumbo Caller ID even doubles up as an alarm clock with snooze, now how about that?

Driver's Cell Phone Signal Booster

If there is one cardinal sin that all driver should not do, it would be to talk on your handset with one hand holding the phone, while the other controls the steering wheel. Sure, if you happen to be seated at the back seat with a chauffeur in front, by all means go ahead and yak away, but if you are at the wheel, it is time to be far more responsible with your life and the lives of others. Get a hands-free kit or a Bluetooth headset, for Pete's sake! And if you already have that, and tend to travel to remote areas where the signal is not too great, perhaps the $159.95 Driver’s Cell Phone Signal Booster would come in handy.

As its name suggests, the Driver’s Cell Phone Signal Booster is an amplifier that claims to boost a cell phone’s reception by up to 20X whenever you are driving. It will be different from other models that boosts only 2G or 3G signals, as this puppy is far more updated, being optimized to handle 4G LTE signals for Verizon or AT&T handsets, in addition to boosting 3G and 2G signals for nearly all other U.S. carriers, now how about that? It does so by improving bi-directional signal strength in weak-signal areas, minimizing dropped calls and maximizing data speeds.
