      Sweet Site of the Week – LogMeIn

      April 25, 2009 /

      Sometimes it’s hard to sift through the millions of websites out there to find the fun, unusual, creative, and especially, the useful ones. And word of mouth can only take you so far. Well, leave it to Gadget Teaser to give you a hand in your search. Once a week, we’ll highlight one of our favorite sites that not everyone knows about. I like to think that we here at Gadget Teaser are performing a public service for you… the avid gadget blog reader the general public.

      LogMeIn

      This week’s Sweet Site of the Week is: LogMeIn

      LogMeIn is basically a tool that is used to remotely access a computer from anywhere. On the road and need to access your home or work PC, use LogMeIn. Got a client in another city, or even country, that requires local support, use LogMeIn. Got a conference call and would like to present a PowerPoint for everyone to see, use LogMeIn. I think you get my drift but in case you don’t, here’s what LogMeIn describes itself as:

      Businesses and IT service providers use LogMeIn’s solutions to deliver remote end-user support and to access and manage computers and other Internet-enabled devices more effectively and efficiently. Consumers and mobile workers use our solutions to access computer resources remotely, thereby facilitating their mobility and increasing their productivity.

      I use LogMeIn Free to remotely access my home PC while I’m at work or on the road. So all I had to do was install a small app on my home PC and then no matter where I am I can log into the LogMeIn website and access my home PC. That’s it. I use it to access my personal email, my personal bookmarks, and my personal files. Maximize the screen and you can’t tell the difference between your home monitor and the one you’re using remotely. And it’s so convenient. In case you were wondering, there is a version for the Mac and there is even a iPhone app you can use to remotely control your home PC as well.

      So if you ever need to access anything from your home PC while at work or on the road, I suggest you use our Sweet Site of the Week, LogMeIn.

      X-Mini Happy Supports MP3 Playback

      April 25, 2009 /

      The X-Mini Happy.If you’re looking for a tiny, alien-looking portable speaker, look no further than the X-Mini Happy. This latest update of the funky and hyper-functional speakers includes an SD slot for hardware supported MP3 playback. Of course, you can connect your iPod, iPhone, what have you via the headphone jack on the back.

      The speaker utilizes a 40mm driver to put out sound, powered by a rechargeable battery. The unit boasts up to 11 hours of use as a speaker, six in hardware playback. As you can see from the picture, it also sports some serious geek-cred. The original X-Mini retailed for under $30. We’d expect a similar price when the X-Mini Happy drops in Q3.

      Philly Friends Set Texting Record, Receive $26,000 Bill

      April 25, 2009 /

      That'll be $26,000, please.Imagine your excitement (or paranoid chagrin) on opening your front door to an unexpected package. It feels heavy, and you can see from the postage stamp that it cost a whopping $27.55 just to send the thing. Would you ever imagine it was a phone bill? How about a phone bill for $26,000?

      That’s exactly what two friends in Philadelphia received after they attempted to set the monthly texting record. Nick Andes and Doug Klinger began their quest with the highest record they could find – 182,000 from 2005. Armed with unlimited texting plans and fast fingers, the two set themselves to the task, sometimes texting so hard their phones couldn’t even receive phone calls.

      They crushed the previous record, making 217,000 texts over the course of the month. T-Mobile has reportedly credited the massive phone bill in its entirety. Klinger and Andes are just waiting on the official congratulations from the Guinness committee.

      Bouncing Around the Web

      April 23, 2009 /

      In case you missed it, here’s what’s Bouncing Around the Web:

      JawboneJawbone, considered one of the very best Bluetooth headsets on the planet, just released a second generation Jawbone. And according to Gizmodo, it’s better in just about every way. I sure hope it is because spending $130 for a Bluetooth headset is a lot to swallow.

      If you were Apple, how would you react to questions about your lack of presence in the netbook market? If your answer is to rip the entire market apart and tell everyone to just buy and iPhone or iTouch instead, then you should be working for Apple. Though, they definitely left the door open for future developments.

      I think AT&T may be a little bit afraid of the Palm Pre. Someone at AT&T leaked a comparison chart which I’m sure AT&T sales people will use tear down the competition. Regardless of the actual data in the report, the fact that AT&T, and by association Apple, is worried about the Pre is quite interesting.

      I saved the good news for last. AT&T has been testing faster 3G speeds in some markets. With a few software tweaks, they have bumped speeds from 3.6 to 7.2 megabits per second. Mama mia, that’s a spicy meatball!

      Refurb iPhones Go For $149.00

      April 21, 2009 /

      Apple iPhone.AT&T has refurbished versions of both the black and white 3G iPhones for just $149.00 when you sign up for a 2-year contract. This is definitely the best deal on the web for the Apple phone, and will probably entice plenty of folks to get one.

      Of course, I’m always skeptical when it comes to pricing things for liquidation. Could this point to the third-generation iPhone? Coupled with the news that AT&T is also selling phones out of contract, I’d give it a definite yes.
