I first saw the GoJo on a Saturday morning infomercial. It’s a a plastic headband, the type you expect to see a phone operator wear, that uses a suction cup to hold your phone in place to your ear. I guess I can see the appeal, there are no batteri and at first glance i was like ehh I could probably do without that. About a week later i received a press release about it and figured I’d give it a try.
On the plus side, the suction cup does hold you phone in place and it does work with phones of varying size.
On the down side, i found it kind of uncomfortable and it definitely did not go on my head as easily as in the video above. Those two issues made it a challenge when i need to answer an incoming call while already on the phone…or looking at the phone for any reason.
Bottom line, it didn’t do it for me, not even for the $10 price tag.
Really its no big deal, I actually thought it as kinda funny. I installed Blackberry App World 3.1 beta on my Bold 9900 the only thing that stood out to me was the Verizon category….because I get my service through T-Mobile.

After about a day of spotty or no Blackberry data service in North America, it is slowly returning. Millions of Blackberry users had hips that were not buzzing due to a faulty switch that caused outages across several continents. This has been the largest RIM service failure in years. With many customers and investors already losing faith in the communications giant, this was definitely not a good look. Hopefully for their sake (and mine since a I’m a BB fan), this isn’t a sign of things to come.
There are a few hands free bluetooth speakerphones available on the market right now. While they all perform that basic function, some do it well, and others not so much. I was able to get my hands on Freeway($129.99) from Jabra, and i gotta say, i’m impressed. It paired with my phone in about 10 seconds out of the box. Before making or taking any calls on it, i decided to check out the sound quality by streaming some mp3′s to it from my phone. (more…)
Iconic hip-hop producer, Dr. Dre is no stranger to making big deals and making big news. The latest deal was selling of 51% of Beats By Dre to cell phone manufacturer HTC for a cool $300 million. As a part of this move, HTC will be incorporating Beats By Dre audio into upcoming smartphones in much the same way HP did in their products. The acquisition will allow them to improve the sound quality of their phones and future devices when listening to a wide array of media. This shouldn’t effect their current relationship with Monster or other branding partners. On a side note, I hear the Little Monster has something exciting in the works that will be announced pretty soon…stay tuned.
With Wednesday’s announement of the iPad 2, we finally have a complete comparison chart of 2011′s hottest tablets. Everyone is gonna have their favorite depending on what they use their device for. But they all look pretty good spec-wise, so I think it may come down to personal preference.

So today is the day that a lot of people have been waiting for…the release of the Motorola Atrix. The 4G android phone has all the goodies, dual-core Nvida cpu, 5mp camera, finger print reader, wi-fi and Swype text input. All that being said, the Atrix may be one of the best cell phones on the market nowadays, but adding to the notable of this device is the laptop dock. (more…)
