What a Secret is really worth and why! My Secret to you!

Paul

Secret Canyon Trail

A Secret!

When you mention you have a secret you probably get bombarded with “What is it?”.   I posted that I’ve got a secret on my Facebook page,  although I have gotten some people to like the post.   Other’s have actually come out to me and asked what my secret is. A few friends but what really surprised me was everyone of my family members, asked what it was.   Even my mother who doesn’t do Facebook was asking what my secret was.

The Secret Goes Viral!

If you have ever done something like this and gotten it to go viral.   You’d bee amazed at how many want to know your little secret.   I even had a few emails but I won’t say much about those.   It was such an amazing experience and just how much people want people to know the secret.

My Secret revealed!

So I am going to share with you my secret.  I gotten a chance to review a good little USB portable battery backup for your Cell phones and tablets.   It’s called RAVPower® Dynamo-On-the-Go backup battery pack and I will be doing a full review of this product in the coming months but I am so far really impressed.  They given me one for free to do a full test out on and see how well this worked with all my devices.   So you will see this probably next week or so and you might even be surprised.

 

 

 

Reviewing the Kyocera Rise by Virgin Mobile!

What about the HTC Inspire 4G!

I recently had to buy a new phone.   My HTC inspire got broken, sad to say but it does happen.   You know when you have to replace a  phone because of the screen glass is broken, kind of thing you don’t like to see happen.   It does though no matter how hard you try, it will happen eventually on most phones. Thank Good for the Worth Ave Group insurance coverage for Cell Phones, if i didn’t have that it would of been a pain to get this Cell phone.

A lot under the Hood!

There is a lot going on under that hood and I won’t go into much detail about this because I don’t want to bore you with details but what I will tell you is this:

  • Google Movies & TV — You can watch any show you own on Google with this little device.   So you can always keep up with shows or movies while on the Go!   I do suggest downloading them whenever possible using WIFI but it is still good to have while on the road!
  • Netflix — Although most phones do this it has the screen size to actually do a decent enough job of watching it through it!
  • Android 4.0 — I got mine with Android 4.0 but it had to be upgraded in firmware.   That is ok, it still is a nice phone!

The Kyocera Rise From Virgin Mobile is in fact a very good Phone.   I got signal where the HTC never did, although this is a 3G phone, it is still can go a lot more places.   I suspect it is because of the Sprint Network but it is only a guess.

I could go on and on about this phone but in all truth if you aren’t convinced now to buy it then you will never buy it.   I simply love this phone and it is going to be my main phone for quite a while until I can get enough money for even better phone maybe a Samsung Galaxy S3 or S2 from Virgin Mobile or Sprint, now that would be Sweet!

A lot of Sound from a Small device, a review of the Jam Wireless Speaker!

Paul

Simply Amazing!

I’m really impressed with this little device.   The Homedics Jam Wireless Portable Speaker is simply the best possible alternative for people on the go or needs to keep it small!

Specs of t his Speaker:

  • Incredible sound quality in a small footprint
  • Connects wirelessly up to 30 feet away
  • Works with all Blue tooth-enabled devices: smart phones, tablets and more..
  • Rechargeable for up to 4 hours of wireless play
  • Cost anywhere from 35$ to 45$ depends on where you look!

Colors: 

  • Red (Strawberry) 
  • Blue (Blueberry) 
  • Gold (Apricot) 
  • Purple (Grape) 
  • Grey (Blackberry) 
  • Green (Apple) 

So let’s get the break down on this little device.   I’ve had it over a day and I’m still quite impressed with the sound volume and quality.   I have been able to connect it to Belkin Mini Surge Protector Dual USB Charger, using a Micro USB Connector to keep it charged while playing music or other stuff from it.   You can also connect it to a Auxiliary Input and us it as a wired connect.   I simply love the Blue tooth capability of this device.  It can’t do bass if your looking for something that produces bass really a lot but it can be heard in a medium size room well enough to be easily listened to.  I’ve been able to connect this device to both my HTC inspire and the Acer A200 Tablet.

What next!

So you thought this would be a good device.   I’ve not found anything that I didn’t expect from this device.   It is cheaper than I’d thought but it does a really good job on volume and sound when you need a lot of volume and covers a medium room quite nice.  It also connects to almost all devices that you might have and thus can be used in multiple ways.   You can keep it plugged in and use it with your Tablet or Cell Phone.   Even using it with Netflix or something along that lines can be done because I’ve done it with my Tablet and it works extremely well!  All in all, For the price it a good quality device that does the job of others.   You won’t go wrong if you buy this device today!

Reviewing the Logitech Anywhere MX Mouse

Paul

I recently purchased the Logitech Anywhere MX mouse, and I must say it is quite impressive. I wanted to talk about it some for those who are curious on how well it works.

Technical Details

  • Device Type: Wireless Mouse with Receiver

  • Connection Type: USB

  • Hand Orientation: Right

  • Tracking Method: Laser

  • Scrolling Capability: Yes

  • Colors: Black

  • Special Features: Blackfield Laser Tracking

  • Special Features: Unifying receiver

I’ve put this through a series of test and I must make a comment “WOW“. I don’t say this often and I don’t say this enough from everything I have done with this mouse it still works magnificently. So let’s talk about:

Who can use this mouse?

Anyone can use this as far as I can tell. The size is just right for small, medium, and large hands. I am a large handed person and it still fits me comfortably. It weighs around one pound and can easily be taken anywhere you go with little or no effort.

Battery life?

I’ve tried leaving it on 7 days straight without turning it off and right now it has two Duracell Batteries, AA Size, in it when I started testing it. According to my meter it still has 85% of battery life on it and it has been 2 weeks. I would say the mouse battery life would last for several weeks 5 to 7 weeks is my estimate.

Unifying receiver stub?

The receiver for the mouse takes up one usb port and can be removed and stored in the leather case that comes with mouse. Although I just keep it to the laptop and it works when I need it to.  It takes so little room on the laptop that it is not going to be a big bother when I take the laptop with me.

 What surfaces does it work on?

Every surface I tried it worked on. It claims to work on the glass surfaces but I haven’t tried it. I have however tried my leg, my couch, and my floor and it works without a problem. I tried some restaurants and it works just fine their too. It slides on surfaces easily and works flawlessly. I’ve not had any trouble with this mouse since I got it.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who travels a lot or go places a lot with their laptop. It is also very good with playing games with. The sensitivity of the mouse makes it a good gaming mouse for those who like to play LAN parties or just wants a wireless option. I have been really impressed with this mouse and expect to buy another one when the time comes. This is great buy for me and I don’t regret buying this mouse for home and travel!

Offline Affiliate advertising!

Paul

Affiliate advertising can be done in multitude of ways, from Google Searching to word of mouth on the Internet. If you have something you want to sell sometimes the best way to sell it is Word of Mouth, see Technibbles article about Word of Mouth.

I am very happy with the [intlink id=”3059″ type=”post”]A600 Cricket Modem[/intlink], and I have been taking it everywhere I go. I from time to time get asked what I have around my neck. I put the Modem on a lanyard and have been having people ask about it. This is a very good tactic to sell products online.  This is a great way for people to come to you and ask what that is?  I’ve had a lot of people in my area as I am fixing there computers or even walking around my local shopping areas to ask what is that I have on my neck.

That is where this card comes  into play:

Front and Back of CardAs you can see this is very useful, but I made it one card.  From is the price and where they can buy it and the other is my review on my website.  I use Bit.ly website to track who goes there.  They can track how many people go there.  I signed up for that part.

There is so many ways to advertise by having someone put a flyer on cards about this.  I was thinking this would be good in my area because I am getting pretty good speeds with my [intlink id=”3174″ type=”post”]A600 Modem[/intlink].  I have since though that my not be the best tactic but I will have these cards for people who want to ask what I have around my neck or when I take my laptop on the road and people ask about that little modem.

By wearing this modem, I am hoping people will ask questions online or check the reviews of the modem by searching for it.  Which will bring people to my site wanting to find out about this modem.  It might not get people to buy it right off but it will definitely cause people to want to know more about the modem.    I’ve also had people wanting to know more about this modem and so created these cards to better direct them to my site so they can find out even more and maybe even want to buy one.
