Connected Devices Are Helping You Get Healthy

Matthew Marchesano — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 23:10:16 +0000

In a world where everything is manipulated through our ‘web-active’ gadgets, it can be hard to decipher which additional products and services are actually worthwhile. In seemingly no time, the phrase ‘there’s an app for that’ has gone from a joke-y marketing phrase into a factual expression. We’ll never need the ‘Pull My Finger‘ app or the ‘Love Detector‘ app; but on the other hand, those apps that become available and aren’t blatantly useless are what excites us.

Here at GadgeTell, we do a lot of product reviews and believe me, its not just apps, but accessory products too are dime-a-dozen. There are countless examples of products that are so similar to other products, the actual need for them is negated before they’re even released.

I’m not writing to hate on these accessories but instead do just the opposite. This is a spotlight of the latest contributions to the market that promote the most important aspect of our lives: healthy living. The following are a few that I deem noteworthy.

The Motorola MotoACTV Smart Watch / Exercise Tracker – $149.99

With built-in GPS, low-energy absorbing Bluetooth 4.0 capability, Wi-Fi compatibility, ANT+, FM tuner, an accelerometer and a 8 GB flash memory hard drive for mp3 storage, this could be the end-all for exercise buffs. Perfect for cross-country runners, the watch tracks time, distance and speed statistics of an exercise session, as well as calories burned and heart rate. From there, it uploads the data straight to your web profile via Wi-Fi; all while strategically selecting the right song from your library to keep your head in the game. It is able to track various types of work outs and even has a golfing mode to track your…

Mother’s Day is coming up! 5 gadgets for Mom

Jodie Andrefski — Sat, 02 May 2009 09:39:05 +0000

You’ve only got a little over a week to shop for Mother’s Day folks. And hint! Moms like gadgets too. Don’t be boring and just hand her a card or a bunch of flowers, get Mom something cool this year.

Stay away from a sweeper or anything that cleans. Ditto on anything that implies she doesn’t look good and needs help in that department. So, what to buy? What to buy? Here are some suggestions that might work for all different budgets.

1. The Tom Tom One 140 GPS
Face it, a GPS is quick becoming a “must have” for many and this is the latest by Tom Tom. It has a 3.5-inch 320×240 QVGA touchscreen display.

Dell’s Black Friday 2008 ads leaked

Robert Nelson — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:00:00 +0000

Black Friday, the day when consumers can generally expect to find some good deals, is thankfully just about upon us. With a few weeks before Thanksgiving here in the US, it seems now is about the right time for the deals to begin making their way into the public eye. Sadly, although Dell has plenty of deals listed for Black Friday, it seems that some are not as exciting as one would hope for. To begin with, Dell is planning to offer the Inspiron Mini 9 for $299, which offers a $50 savings from the regular $349. The specs for that model include a 1.6GHz Atom processor, a 4GB SSD, 512MB RAM an 8.9-inch display and running Ubuntu 8.04. Other notebooks that are on sale (and some that will offer a much greater savings) will be the Inspiron 13 for $699 (a $329 savings), the Studio 15 for $699 (a $245 savings), the Studio 17 for $799 (a $349 savings), the XPS M1330 for $1,029 (a $319 savings) and the XPS M1530 also for $1,029 (a $319 savings). More deals after the break.

iriver slashes prices on SPINN, Lplayer, and E100 in time for holidays

Natesh Sood — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:47:00 +0000

As many companies generally lower their prices on their goods in time for the holiday season, iriver has already got a head start on this as they have reduced prices on three of their hottest players. Thanks to a tip, we know that the three players are the iriver SPINN, the Lplayer, and the E100. All of these deals will start on November 1st and end on December 31st, more than enough time to complete all of your holiday shopping. Let's first begin with iriver's SPINN. In case you don't remember the exact specs here is a recap. First off, it comes with a 3.3-inch AMOLED touch screen, FM tuner, audio and video playback, picture display, and Bluetooth connectivity. One of the unique featuers about the SPINN is the way you navigate through the device - using the spindle tool on the side of the device. Previously, the 4GB version sold for $250 and the 8GB for $290. However, under iriver's new deal, you can get the 4GB for $189.99 and the 8GB player for $229.99. More info after the break.
