by Radiris Diaz on October 11th, 2011

Today at CTIA TeleNav announced GPS Navigator 7.1 for Sprint Android smartphones.

The new GPS Navigator is designed to help people who are always on-the-go like me, who always need to know where they are at and where they need to be.

Navigator 7.1 has a new home screen, called “My Dashboard” which gives quick access to all the things they need to know, yes like your current location and real time traffic. I love my Sprint Navigator even more now!

Navigator 7.1 also features improved map options real time traffic and turn by turn navigation. You can now also change your little car icon!

There is now also a widget for Navigator, something it lacked and something I welcome since I will now have even quicker access to my beloved GPS!

Norton 360 v6 Free Public Beta

by Radiris Diaz on October 10th, 2011

Today Symantec announced a free beta for Norton 360 version 6. The free beta will allow those who accept the beta agreement to download and use the full version of the software during the beta period.

So think of it as free AV for a month or so! Norton 360 features some new cool features such as Norton Identity Safe in the cloud, which will keep your passwords on a remote server in the cloud so that you can have access to them from any PC, Norton Management a new web management which allows you to remotely control some of Norton’s feature (sounds pretty cool), along with other changes that just went over my head. My favorite feature is the metered bandwidth. My friend who lives in Canada would love this feature as their ISP limits the amount of bandwidth they can use. (Pictured below)

Norton 360 v6 is available for download for free at http://us.norton.com/beta

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month

by Radiris Diaz on October 4th, 2011

One of the biggest threats we face today as internet and smartphone users is the theft of our identity. Our identity can easily be stolen if we are tricked into entering private information into a fake bank website for example, or if we lose our mobile phones.

We all know how to protect ourselves online, we are wary of the websites we visit, we use security software and other tools to make sure we are safe from website to website. But we don’t do much about our mobile phones. Sure there are fine my phone features if you have an iPhone or Windows Phone but what about an Android based device? Like a android powered tablet or smartphone.

Toshiba Thrive 7

by Radiris Diaz on September 27th, 2011

Today Toshiba announced an Android powered tablet with a 7” screen available in December. The Thrive 7 will have a similar look and feel as the 10” Thrive, although it will not have a full size USB, HDMI or SD port, only mini for HDMI and USB and micro SD.

We had a chance to play with one earlier today and I must admit, I think it would make a great eBook reader for those of us who are on the NY City subway system often. The NVIDIA Tegra chip makes it great for gaming as well.

Pricing not available yet but it will be sub $400. There will also be an optional dock available.

VITAband – the future of medical bracelets

by Sylwia on September 27th, 2011

VITAband – The future for medical ID bracelets.

As an extreme sports enthusiast, (or so I claim to be ;-)), I’m really excited about the VITAband. The VITAband is essentially a new-age medical ID bracelet. How? Well each bracelet comes with an imprinted personal identification number (VITAnumber). So, should anything happen to you a first-responder can call the VITAband number to access your personal information.

On the VITA website you can set up your profile to include medications, allergies, and emergency contacts. But wait, theres MORE…the VITAband also features Visa payWave (contact-less payment). It’s a prepaid card so you don’t have to worry about someone running off with your fortune.

The VITAband is great for anyone into hiking, cycling, running (marathon training..whoa!) and lastly climbing (or you can wear it because it’s sweet).
