Working more Efficiently with a Wireless Mobile Keyboard

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Even with the major advances in the smartphone industry, one thing that continues to hinder customers is the small keypad.  Whether the keypads are used for texting, typing an email, searching the Internet or dialing a phone number many users still have issues with the size of the buttons.  Despite the iPhone having nicely sized touch screen buttons when compared to most of the other mobile devices, they are still less than ideal for typing out longer text. This is why Verbatim has recently released the Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard.

The Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard is a portable keyboard that is compatible with the iPhone and the iPad. The mobile keyboard is wireless and operates using Bluetooth.  In order to achieve maximum portability the keyboard folds in half and comes with a carrying case for travel or storage. The ultra compact design is thin, light weight and allows user to carry the keyboard wherever they would usually take their mobile device. In addition to the carrying case the keyboard also comes with a built in iPhone stand that enables users to dock their device so that it works similar to a desktop environment.  The keyboard connects quickly and makes it possible for a user to quickly and efficiently complete the work that entails typing.  Once docked, the keyboard can also act as a control for the mobile device’s media player.

The Verbatim Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard costs $100 through the Verbatim website but can be found for as low a $64.99 at Amazon.com.  Powered by two AAA batteries it only weighs about 16 ounces and measures to about 9.2” x 6.4” x 2”.  This device is a great tool for any iPhone user who needs to execute a lot of typing when on the go.

Business Travel: Some Devices to Aid Your Work

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

business travelHello and welcome to Computer Fitness’ Blog! My name is Josh. Computer Fitness is a tech support firm for small and medium businesses in Reisterstown, MD. Our areas of expertise run the gamut from workstation repair to server maintenance.

You’re a businessperson on the go. You travel from place to place to place and therefore live on your laptop and wireless device. You’ve got yourself a laptop and that is a great start. As someone who’s lived through mobile devices for a while, I have some suggestions on travel/laptop accessories for all you travelers.

Bluetooth Mouse

Let’s be honest, most trackpads aren’t up to the challenge of letting you get work done. While there are a few that can make life a little easier, your best bet is to get a Bluetooth mouse to meet your pointer needs. While you could opt for a standard 2.4GHz wireless mouse, the downside there is usually the massive USB dongle you have to plug into your laptop. That makes space a bigger issue. Also, you lose a USB port. However, most modern laptops have Bluetooth built-in. If, for some reason, you don’t have Bluetooth in your laptop, the adapters are so small you barely notice them. Bluetooth devices are a win here.

Lap Desk

This might seem like something you don’t really need, but have you ever really let a laptop sit on your lap for an extended period of time? They tend to get pretty hot, especially if you are doing a lot of processor intensive computing. A lap desk will keep you from burning your legs with your laptop. Plus, you can use the extra space to use your wireless mouse. These are incredibly handy if you’re traveling on a train, etc. for a long amount of time.

Headset with Microphone

While most business can be done on your mobile phone, there are a lot of really cool and free online voice communication programs. Skype comes to mind as the most popular. This program allows you to use your computer as a phone, and call others with the same program or even call real phone numbers for a fraction of the cost. This program is great for international calls and also supports video chat.

That’s all for this week. Come back next week for more computer fitness tips!
