att-primetimeA tablet is meant to be an alternative communications device to the smartphone, and many of us do happen to own a tablet that is a secondary productivity device. Well, while our smartphones might continue to be our primary portable media player that keeps us entertained on long road trips or across trans-Atlantic flights, this does not mean that we should discount the usefulness of a tablet. AT&T has come up with something interesting in the form of the AT&T Primetime, an exclusive tablet from the mobile carrier that comes loaded with entertainment and productivity features to help you get started right out of the box.

You will be able to pick up the AT&T Primetime for a mere $10 each month for 20 months in the form of an AT&T installment plan, or you can always settle for a $29.99 initial outlay which will be accompanied by a 2-year contract.

Not only that, AT&T Unlimited Plus or AT&T Unlimited Choice customers do have the option of adding in AT&T Primetime to their unlimited wireless plan as long as they are comfortable with the additional $20 monthly fee.

acer-nitro5When it comes to gaming, there are two distinct groups. One of them happens to be serious gamers, those who would settle for nothing less than the best when it comes to hardware and performance.

Carah timepiece offers safety to boot

carahNot all timepieces are created equal. Some of them happen to be far more advanced than the others, and K-ICT Born2Global Centre’s vision for a unique device that is not only capable of telling the time, but also to ensure protection for the wearer arrives in the form of the Carah safety watch. Of course, the Carah safety watch will continue to remain a dream if it is not fully funded on Kickstarter, but we do believe that it is definitely on the right track. The Carah comes across as a real analogue watch that features smart capabilities as well as a built-in SOS safety alert.

Carah, should it drop the ‘h’, would mean ‘friend’ in Irish, and ‘beloved’ in Latin. This is the unique fruit of a computer science professor and a mechatronics expert’s collaboration, resulting in a smart safety watch which delivers not only style, but also functionality and personal security. While it looks like any other elegant analogue timepiece at first glance, there is more than meets the eye with Carah. It is more than able to sound an alarm in the event of an emergency. In order to activate the alarm, all that the user needs to do is to instigate a two-second push and hold of the watch, where it will then alert the watch holder’s guardians and emit a loud siren.

This means it is extremely easy and fast to activate such an intuitive action, while GPS information of the person seeking help is also sent out. This will allow the chosen guardians to be able to respond accordingly. Depending on the configuration beforehand, these selected guardians can be virtually anyone, including campus police or their community of helpers. This will definitely provide the owner with a sense that help is but a touch away. Other features in Carah include the ability to find your phone, audio recording capability and a one-touch timer.

imaxalarmGoing out alone can be quite dangerous these days, especially if you are a woman. There are just way too many deranged folk out there on the streets, and you can never quite tell when just one of them is going to snap. Hence, apart from carrying around a pepper spray, it might also be a good idea to tote around a personal security alarm. The iMaxAlarm is one such device that fulfills such a role, where it intends to function as a safeguard and deterrent from potential harm.

Specially designed to resemble the shape of an average key fob, the iMaxAlarm personal alarm system is loud — very loud. In fact, it is full well capable of emitting an ear piercing 130dB siren that is capable of startling the most threatening potential aggressor, while ensuring that everyone else around in your vicinity is going to be able to hear you. Drawing attention to yourself in times of emergency can be a lifesaver, and in the event of a natural disaster, this is also a useful tool to have.

Using the iMaxAlarm is as simple as pulling the key from the top of the device, and it will get to “work” right away by emitting a deafening noise. This noise will surely do its part to deter a potential attack most of the time. Not only that, this SOS Alert device is ready for action right out of the box, and it comes with a non-stop run time of 30 minutes, now how about that? Of course, in the event of letting this alarm rip by accident, you can always turn it off easily by re-inserting the key into the top of the device. Each purchase will feature a carabiner and lanyard for easy attachment. If you have long looked for a device that can help you out in a tight spot, the iMaxAlarm might be just the thing.

palmziThe proliferation of mobile device usage among the masses has long passed the critical mass. In fact, just about everyone has a smartphone these days, unless you happen to live in a really far off area that still relies on dumbphones to get the job done. One thing about smartphones that we all love would be its versatility in capability. It not only doubles up as a primary communications device while we are on the move, it is also a nifty portable office, is full well capable of functioning as a portable media player, and works great as a navigation device. With these features in mind, many of us tend to bend over or develop a very poor posture when using our smartphones, and Palmzi is an upcoming accessory that intends to reverse that trend.

Palmzi claims to be the first ergonomic posture correcting accessory that has been developed especially for mobile devices, but how does it back up its claim of functionality? It basically add comfort and convenience to the mobile use experience like a tripod of sorts, hence serving up a solution to prevent and treat negative effects which arise from our smartphone use. Also described to be the first ergonomic palm support for mobile devices in the world that arrives in a stable, lightweight, foldable design, the benefits of using Palmzi are numerous.

For starters, it will help to raise your mobile device to a safe, comfortable, eye-level distance — sort of like a tripod. This will in turn help to correct poor posture instantly, while it also does its bit to reduce neck pain as well as stiffness that has been associated with mobile phone usage, and this condition is also otherwise known as “text neck”. It has been built to be lightweight and portable, and yet is also durable enough to be brought around with you just about everywhere. Certainly the 21st century road warrior would do well to check out Palmzi when it is available, expected to arrive at the end of the year.
