Bluetooth keyboard for mobility purposes

There are a lot of smartphones which have Bluetooth support and those run by Android and iOS in particular do have support for external keyboards, specifically speaking, the Bluetooth keyboard. Unlike the on-screen keyboard, external ones work much faster especially to those that are adept at typing using a physical keyboard rather than a virtual one. Therefore, this post will revolve around some Bluetooth keyboards worth considering.
HP TouchPad isn’t planting its foot deep in the smartphones market share. In fact, WebOS is nowhere to be seen due to HP lack of support for the mobile operating system. However, the HP TouchPad Wireless Keyboard is functional not only with WebOS devices but also Android and iOS devices as well. At a price of only $32.99, it is definitely a bargain to many.
Freedom Pro comes out with this folding keyboard as it increases the mobility of the device as it is now more compact thus allowing its users to stash it easily in a tight compartment. It works with most mobile operating system such as Android, BlackBerry OS, iOS and a lot more. However, at $63.00 it costs almost double as compared with the HP TouchPad.

Accessories for Kindle Fire users

Kindle Fire is the newest offering from Amazon as the eBook device now acts more like a tablet instead of just a pure eBook reader. Like all the previous Kindle, there are also a lot of accessories available such as cases, earphones and many more. Here are some accessories worth looking at as well.
At only $29.99, the Lightweight MicroShell Folio Cover by Marware can be considered a protective gear for the Kindle Fire as it has three protective layers. In addition to that, it also doubles as a Kindle Fire stand as well. The product is light as it is made of polycarbonate but don’t let that fooled you. It is just as good as the heavy ones as well.
This Scatter Dot themed sleeve is definitely attractive. Those that want other designs can choose from 5 other themes as well. At only $24.99, little can go wrong with it.
Decalgirl has produced a lot of Kindle skins before and that service has been forwarded to Kindle Fire as well. Best of all, it cost only $19.99 and it comes with both the skin as well as the wallpaper which can be retrieved online as well.

Windows-phone-7-messaging-can-be-rendered-useless-through-a-bug

What is a phone without a messaging system? Apparently that may happen on Windows Phone 7 devices as the HTC Mozart, Radar or any other WP7 phones. According to WinRumors, whenever a Windows Phone 7 device receives a string of characters, this problem will happen. The device will lock itself and then reboots. When this happens, the phone’s messaging system cannot be used at all.
The problem doesn’t just limit to the messaging system. WinRumors also added that if a user has his or her friends’ live tiles pinned on the home screen, then chances are, the problem will also occur. The solution to this particular problem is by quickly removing the pinned tiles before the device hangs up and reboots once again. Basically, Microsoft has created a game where time is essential.
As of date, there are no fixes available but those that would want to get total control of their phone’s messaging system again need to hard reset their device. That is the only way on which has been proven to work. However, this solution is anything but convenient for the user especially if there aren’t any backup done on the device. It should also be noted that SMS issues are also present on iOS and Android devices although little is known about the level of seriousness as compared with this particular bug that is clouding the Windows Phone 7.
