Ep 9: Real Tech for Real People Podcast Updates and Picks

Published: Nov. 25, 2009, 5:10 p.m.

I have been somewhat negligent in writing about our Real Tech for Real People podcast that I do with Tony Pittman every week. \xa0I will try to recover here, and hit some of the highlights in the past few weeks.
\nEarlier this month we recorded Episode 9 of our podcast (listen here or download/subscribe through iTunes.) \xa0The highlights of that week included a discussion of “Femtocell” technology, which essentially means installing a box in your home, connected to your internet (cable or FiOS) that creates a micro-cellphone tower in your own home. \xa0It only transmits voice, but the ability to make cellphone calls in homes when you previously couldn’t get a strong (or any) signal is quite appealing.
\nWe also discussed the new Apple line-up including the 27″ iMac and the Magic Mouse.
\nFinally, I shared my first “pick of the week” in this podcast. \xa0I selected the Mophie Juice Pack Air. \xa0This is a case that not only provides protection for the iPhone but by including a lithium ion battery doubles the battery life of your iPhone.
\nWe talked about a number of other things, including Tony’s pick of the week. \xa0So, check out the podcast, and let us know what you would like us to research and talk about! \xa0Write us at:
