Hey guys wanted to tell you about an AWESOME new product that I just received today from Luxa2 they make stands for your mobile devices. iPads, blackberrys, iPhones, Nexus Ones, HTC’s ext. I was very impressed first with the construction of the device. It has a six point system that holds your device snug with a sprocket type mechanism. The six points are covered with rubber to protect your device yet stable enough to hold it upside down and not have it fall out! The base is derived from an iMac, Cinema display type base which gives it that apple look and feel, complete with rubber padding on the bottom for a non-slip grip. The 360 degree swivel head gives it optimum viewing so your able to position your device to fit you’re viewing area. The solid construction of this holder gives it the “must buy” attention. If you’re looking for a holder for your mobile device on your desk, this is it! As someone who hosts a live show, this is perfect for me to show great apps on my Archos 5 Internet Tablet running Android OS or my iPhone 4. So make sure you check out Luxa2 and pick up the H1-touch. Look for my unboxing video here and review video soon! Again a great thanks to the folks at Luxa2 for sending this out! Get yours today HERE!

The latest FAD in the tech world, and yes I called it a FAD is Jailbreaking. What Jailbreaking entails is that someone who owns an iPhone can use a security hole in the original software as a key to enable features that is not supported natively by the OS. For Android users it’s called Rooting, which essentially does the same thing. What is the draw for users to do this? Is it that we get board with the operating system? Some say that they want to get the most out of their device. Some also say, it’s my device, if I want to do this, I paid for it therefore I will do it. Do users realize the risks? Now I know this has been a huge topic of discussion as of late. We talked about it today on my show. Never before has it been so easy to jailbreak an iPhone. Where as rooting an Android device can be a bit more challenging. Now I can understand the point of view of unlocking, jailbreak, root a device before selling it. I get that. A lot of users don’t want to be locked to a particular carrier. Do you get the same functionality on an unsupported carrier as you do on the carrier the phone was designed for? As I myself have been tempted to jailbreak my iPad to enable multitasking, my better judgement doesn’t allow me to do so. I will just wait until the os has been updated to iOS4. Now I’m not bashing the jailbreak community, just call it a curiosity. Are the apps that we Jailbreak/root a device worth using that much, that we risk the stability of the OS and our phone? These are questions I would like you the users to answer. If you have rooted your phone or jail broken it, leave a comment and tell me why you felt the need to do this? Until text time, keep it buzzin!
