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.

Beat It with The Beamz

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.
