My Favorite Three Words This Morning: Powermonkeys are "Out for Delivery"

I am an admitted tech geek. I am always seeking and evaluating the next big thing - especially if it is going to make me more efficient and/or free me from the constraints of an office.  That is where my two newest purchases come in: the Verizon MiFi 2200 and the Power Monkey Classic v2.

The Verizon MiFi 2200 allows you to become your own hot spot network (for up to 5 devices no less!) for wireless internet access.  Your personal hot spot has 3G access through Verizon's network.  I can't tell you how many times I have my net book and if there is a wireless internet signal, it is secured. The Verizon MiFi creates a wireless network for you anywhere you can access the Verizon 3G network (which has fantastic coverage).  So, you can revise that contract at the beach and enjoy the outdoors. You can pick up this baby for a cool $99 and the monthly service runs approximately $60.00.  That service includes 5gig of bandwidth a month which should be more than enough unless you are downloading/watching videos etc.

The problem all of us encounter at one time or another is "low battery".  I wish these companies would create a larger capacity battery (especially on the iTouch - that runs out ridiculously fast!).  But, until they do, you can solve this problem easily with a Power Monkey.  This sleek little device is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery and will give you approximately an additional 40 hours on your mobile tech toy (be it a blackberry, iTouch, etc.).  It comes with a slew of adapters to power almost any device.  I ordered 4 - one for each of us in my family as we are constantly recharging and it gets annoying.  At approximately $60.00 each, everyone should have one!

So look for me on the beach, with my new toys in hand, working on contracts and closing statements!
