When I am looking for a new phone usually these days I am looking for an unlocked phone. Why? Unlocked phones are becoming a popular choice here in the U.S. because nothing beats the freedom of an unlocked phone when it comes to choice of models, carriers or plans.

Gone are the days of feeling stuck or trapped as with an unlocked phone you are not tied to a specific carrier or contract. Therefore, you have the freedom to shop for the latest phones and plans as often — or as infrequently — as you like. And when it comes to international travel, unlocked phones can’t be beat.

Are you looking for a new phone? Have you looked into an unlocked phone yourself? Best Buy has an Unlocked Smartphone savings event going on right now with sales on Samsung, Huawei, Moto, Sony, BLU, Alcatel and ZTE smartphones.

Summer On-The-Go with TV Everywhere!

August 7, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Summer is here and this is the perfect opportunity to catch up on all our favorite TV programs, especially while on-the-go! TV Everywhere is here to remind you that you could be watching TV through your smartphone, tablet or PC anywhere you go!

TV Everywhere is a multi-device viewing experience offered to verified TV service provider customers through websites and apps, included with your subscription.

I had never heard of TV Everwhere before, but have to say that as a parent, you and I both now how busy life can get. We are on-the-go, we take car trips, travel to kids sports, etc, and sometimes that means that you will miss some of your favorite shows. TV Everywhere gives you the ability to control how and where you watch your TV. In going though the service I found that it was very easy to use and best of all they are working with so many of the BIG cable providers to offer you an add-on to your service at no additional cost to you!

I did a bit more research on the program and found a few more benefits that included:

The Benefits of TV Everywhere:

TV Everywhere is here to remind you that you could be watching TV through your smartphone, tablet laptop, on-the-go or at home. Anywhere you go!
View your favorite shows, news, sports and events
Watch live and later – including full-length, next-day episodes
Catch programs you might otherwise miss
The TVE experience is a benefit of being a customer
Won’t miss an episode; convenience and freedom
Ability to watch live or downloaded content
Available in and out of the home
Secure sign in to watch

Highly desired features:

Variety of content available
Past and current seasons
Start, stop, rewind
Resume watching across multiple devices
Build a personal queue/watch list
Automatically play the next episode in the series

“A study from HUB Research earlier this year, commissioned by Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM), indicates more than half of pay-TV subscribers are unaware of the features and capabilities of TV Everywhere, and nearly 60% have never taken advantage of the service, which is provided at no additional cost,” said John Lansing, President and CEO, CTAM. “Yet viewers who watch TV on non-linear devices feel the value of their cable subscription is significantly higher.”

I know with my own experience this summer with soccer camps and tennis practice, I do a lot of sitting around while watching or waiting for the kids, with that in mind, all of these benefits were ones that tipped the scales for me to try this out and I loved how convenient this was and how easy it was to be able to now connect and watch some awesome shows while waiting around.

If this sounds like something that would help you, check it out TV Everywhere yourself, I mean it’s free – what a better cost, right?

About the Product

Recently, Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE: TXN) DLP® Products and Brookstone announced the availability of the iPhone 4/4S miniature projector accessory case which includes TI’s DLP® Pico™ projector technology. As the first projector of its kind, the accessory acts as a thin sleeve that will allow iPhone 4 and 4S users to project video content from their phone or any app that allows for video output such as Netflix®, YouTube® and more on to any surface at a size of up to 50 inches. With this iPhone accessory case, DLP and Brookstone are showcasing the potential future of Pico as add-on or embedded within products, giving mobile phone users the power to show video content on-the-go, anywhere.
“With this accessory case, Texas Instruments DLP Pico technology continues to show incredible flexibility in enabling compelling applications of all shapes,” said Frank J. Moizio, manager of DLP Pico Projection. “This is just the first step in giving consumers the ability to

showcase video content to family and friends and create a movie theater in the palm of their hand.”
Building on DLP’s foundation of creating the best images in the world, DLP’s Pico chipsets have the same technology genetics as leading digital cinema projectors. Pico-enabled devices are already being used to watch saved and online streaming videos, play games, project business presentations and files, and do much more, all with the convenience of being truly mobile. The entire DLP Pico family of chipsets offers solutions for creating an ever-growing array of product applications, including embedded cell phones, cameras, and camcorders, mobile projectors for consumer entertainment, notebook companions for mobile warriors, toys, AV docks for iPhone, iPad, iPod devices and other compatible smartphones, and more.
“The partnership between Brookstone and Texas Instruments resulted in a remarkable accessory case that turns one’s iPhone 4 and 4S player into a mobile home-theater unit,” said Ron Boire, President and CEO of Brookstone. “Brookstone’s mission is to find smarter, better ways for people to do the things they love, and the Pocket Projector for iPhone 4 embodies that spirit by marrying great technology with entertainment,” added Boire.
Product and pricing information about the Pocket Projector for iPhone 4/4S accessory case is included below:

Price: $229.99 U.S.
The projector includes super-bright, 15-lumen LED illumination
640×360 native display resolution projects video content from the phone up to 50″ images
