Belkin Dual USB Car Charger

This is a very cool device. I have a car charger for all my current devices but if I didn’t I would jump on this item. It plugs into the 12V cigarette lighter/power socket in your car and provides two USB charging ports. Belkin claims they are quick charge ports but it also makes the use of your devices by plugging them in and saving your battery when you are away from your car.

Belkin says it is for the iPod and they do include an iPod/iPhone charge cable which is a good value all by itself. They also include a Mini-USB cable for non-Apple devices like phones and game players.

For the money, this is a no-brainer for your gadget box.

Belkin F8Z280 Dual USB Car Charger for iPod $19.86 at Amazon.


BTW another company called Griffin Technology has a similar product for $13.22. I have had good experience with Belkin so I would feel safer with them but Griffin Technology may be perfectly fine. Their product got 58 out of 73 either 4 or 5 star reviews on Amazon so it seems like it is a better deal than the Belkin.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
