Electronic Trade In Programs

Department stores are becoming aware of the importance of repeat
business and creating Buy Back or Trade In programs to retain loyal
customers. Best Buy has been advertising their Buy Back program which
allows a trade in for items ranging from laptops to cell phones. Their
program will provide up to 50% trade in on your next purchase if
the item is in good working condition and with all of the accessories
included and exchanged within six months after purchase. The credit
amount decreases as the exchange period lengthens. Customers will
receive a credit in the form of a gift card. Currently Best Buy is
offering this Buy Back program free for a limited time. Having reviewed
their website, it is uncertain what the fee will be after the limited
free time expires.

Mophie-iPad-stand



Are you and iPad user? Coming to market is the new Mophie power stand for iPad.


This will be a valuable component for the iPad when it is used on a professional or personal basis. Rather than using your hands to hold the iPad while creating transactions or just surfing the web, the user can now use the stand to stabilize the unit. This iPad stand is sleek with a double-hinged rotating base. Another nice feature is that it will charge and sync your iPad with your computer. How cool is this? The expected retail will be priced between $99 - $129.

Tablets versus PC

Interesting article discussing Tablets versus PC provided by News.Discovery.com.



http://news.discovery.com/tech/are-tablets-going-to-kill-the-pc.html

Do you own a Tablet or interested in purchasing a Tablet? I purchased one
recently, but actually returned for a faster Tablet. For me, I enjoy the small
size and convenience of being able to utilize this Tablet at local hotspots.
Yes, I do have the capabilities of using my cell phone for internet updates,
however, my eyes aren't what they used to be and having an electronic
tool like a Tablet is perfect.

What are your thoughts?

Tablets No Longer Require the use of a Pencil


Blackberry expands to the Blackberry Playbook

Reining supreme at the January 2011 annual Consumer Electronics Show that was held in Las Vegas with over 2,700 exhibitors in attendance was the Blackberry Playbook. Downsizing from the laptop and the netbook comes the smaller, yet powerful electronic tablets. Tablets today no longer refer to the old versions of paper and pencil from years gone past, today the tablet is an exciting electronic tool that reaches the world wide web with speed and innovation. This tablet stole the show and amazed the attendees with its sleek design, web browsing performance and multitasking capabilities. The Playbook measures an inch thick, weighs less than a pound and features a 7" high resolution screen. The new Blackberry Playbook is in production and is expected to be available for sale in late February. Rumor has it that only 200,000 Playbooks will be manufactured a month, so if you have an interest watch for the release date. I love these tablets for their size and convenience of carrying around. Perfect size for fitting into a women's handbag, a college student's book bag or a man's briefcase. Love, love, love them. You can find more information on the Blackberry Playbook at http://us.blackberry.com/playbook.tablet.

Sooo cool, if you enjoy music you will enjoy the sounds produced by The Beamz which is an interactive music product. This is a musical instrument that is being used by many artist today because of its background thythm track and 12 laser beam assignments that each represent a different instrument or sound effect by the waving of a hand through the laser beams. If you are musically inclined or you have a child that is interested in this revolutionary sound check out The Beamz. My son just received a drum set for his birthday and I anticipate this item being the next addition to his collection. Check out this item at thebeamz.com or youtube to see it in action.
