3 Feet Smartphone, Tablet Stands

CES 2011, Mobile, , , ,

3feet

It’s always cool to see a person get inspired by a new technology. In this case, it’s about holding a smartphone or tablet on a long flight. That is what inspired 3 Feet – a stand for any device that folds flat and stows easy.

The stand also sets up in multiple positions. The cusions keep the device from moving or slamming into the 3Feet. The charger opening also allows for easy charging while standing.

Use 3 Feet to stand a device up on a plane or in a meeting. If you have a digital picture frame, 3Feet can be used to hold them on a shelf or table. It even makes good in holding up an old tablet (you know, the ones that actually hold paper…)

JCB Has Rough Phones, World’s Fastest Back Hoe

JCB

We stopped by JCB booth not only to see their toughest phones in the business, but also to check out the World’s Fastest Back Hoe. We geek out in many ways…

The Back Hoe goes 60 MPH on paved roads. It has a full suspension system and ABS brakes. Weighing in at 15 tons, this 6.7 liter diesel Back Hoe can lift 2 tons and dig 13 feet deep.

And it can drag a JCB phone for miles…

JCB Toughphones are meant for the worksite. They can be dropped from higher altitudes, smashed into more than the average consumer phone and still be functional. JCB tests all phones to impact, pressure, vibration, temperature, shock and even a Salt spray test!

They even have lightweight phones that float on water. That way if you drop the phone, you are not doing any deep sea diving to go retrieve it.

Toyota In Car Innovation at CES 2011

CES 2011, Mobile

Toyota demonstrated at CES 2011 their upcoming in car technology for higher end Toyota models. We were surprised to find Toyota at CES as they have not had a presence in years past and this is the first we had heard about them bringing Apps and Interactivity to their dashboards.

As far as we can tell they are still in prototype stage and it will likely be some time before we see this in any of their vehicles.
