Pop! on the Internet

There are some really interesting articles out there, floating about on the Internet. Our eye got caught on one in particular.

While this 128-gb device is wi-fi only, we think that a lot of customers will go for the higher capacity—those apps, music and episodes of favorite tv shows take up a lot of room.

PowerSkin in the Air?

You may need more battery life on your next flight.

After months of safety testing, the Federal Communications Commission sent a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration to change the current policy of asking passengers to turn off electronic devices during takeoffs and landings.

How great would it be to not have to wait for the captain to announce that it is safe to turn on allowed electronic devices? This means that you can use your smartphone to finish that level in Star Wars Angry Birds or finish reading that magazine on your iPad uninterrupted.

While the FAA is officially stating it will review the policy, we can’t help but wonder how long it will be before passengers run out of smartphone battery during longer flights. The best solution is, of course, a PowerSkin.

What types of things do you do on your smartphone in an airplane that necessitate a PowerSkin?

Tweens and Young Teens Working and Playing?

The 11 to 14 year old in your life may be doing more than you think on their mobile device-it’s not all texting, updating their Facebook status or playing their favorite game.
A Reuters survey reports over one-third of US tweens and young teens are using mobile devices for doing homework. Laptops are used most to complete homework, at 65%, but smartphones (39%) and tablets (31%) are quickly gaining ground.
If you have a tween or young teen in your life, think about a PowerSkin for the holiday. With our extended holiday sale, it’s the perfect time to stock up. See the original article here.
