Now that you got that new mobile phone for the holidays, how do you keep it safe? The rules for keeping both iOS and Android secure are exactly the same: Install updates as soon as they’re available. This is harder on Android as some OEMs are really bad about pushing patches. Don’t jailbreak/root. Doing this is […]

Apple Can Disable Cellphones At Concerts
Did you know that Apple first applied for a patent back in 2011 to disable cellphones and just received the grant? The new technology will use an infrared signal that can detect and disable both still images and video recordings. What do you think of this technology? How would you feel if your cellphone was […]
How Secure Is Your Smartphone?
In a recent study by NQ, your smartphone could be at risk from a malware infection. According to the study, 58% of young smartphone users from the ages of 13 to 17 have been attacked from 2011 to 2012.

Will Palm Pre Save The Day?
The other day I saw the Palm Pre for the first time and I have to say that I was impressed. I am also partial to Palm because for 10 years I used and embraced their products. However since the advent of Smart Phones, Palm has lagged behind. Apple’s iPhone has dramatically shifted the way […]
KGB, Get Questions Answered by Text
Have you noticed over the last few weeks more Internet companies are advertising on TV more than ever before? KGB is not exception.

For example, on the iPhone if you surf a website that is entirely built in flash, nothing will appear because Apple has outlawed the Adobe Flash plug-in from working on their platform. Website […]
Dial2Do: Hands-free Text Alternative
Last year Leading Hands recommended Jott, a service that will translate your voice message into text and then email it to an individual on your contact list. With more and more text messaging accidents on the rise, the need for more “hands-free” alternatives is imperative. The other day I discovered “Dial 2 Do”, a service […]
Dodgeball Phone Tracker
In my opinion, Dodgeball is a website that is social networking on steroids. The purpose of this service is to easily connect with your friends, make new friends and just hang out. The site connects virtual world to real world. Imagine getting a text message immediately to your mobile phone when a friend is within […]
JaJah
Remember those really annoying John Stamos, Uncle Jessie from Full House, commercials that told you to call 1-7-7-7-6 before you make a call to save on long distance? Guess what… the concept it back with JaJah. This time you can make call with JaJah on your mobile or landline phone to save money and keep […]
1-800-GOOG-411
I was surfing Google and I saw they introduced a mobile information service called 1-800-GOOG-411. Basically, you call the number, tell the automated agent what you want and it will give you a listing of services. It’s like moviefone for everything. The best part is that it’s free. What do you do when you call? […]
