Review: SGP Klasden Levanaus Backpack series

I have been using SGP Klasden Levanaus backpack for a few weeks and I can honestly say I am digging it. The photos will follow my review at the end. This backpack series is very durable, sleek, and provides a lot of storage inside.

I believe I stated in a previous review that I usually use my Swiss Gear backpack the few times when I travel with my gear for work and for all of my play. The Swiss Gear bag is also very tough but the biggest drawback is the weight. It’s heavy even before you put anything in there. The Levanaus is the opposite as far as I am concerned.

Get Your Zombie on again....

Here is another Freebie I found yesterday when I was flipping through Zite on my iPad. "Zombie Gunship" was free (and still is at the tike of this posting). I have played it for a couple hours. It prevented me from going to bed at a decent hour. The problem I am having is that I am wiping unacceptable amounts of civilians but I figure I will get better as I proceed. Links and screenshots below. I am having a blast playing it.

Short Blurb from their site:

"Zombie Gunship™ puts you in the gunner seat of a heavily-armed AC-130 ground attack aircraft.

ALK Technologies Announces Free CoPilot GPS App

Here is a press release from last week that I thought was very worth putting on my blog. In spring 2012 (no exact date yet) ALK Tech will be releasing a free version of their copilot app, which seems to include built in maps, if you read below. Of course, if you want more features, you can upgrade via in app purchase. I use Copilot now and am very happy with it. This will also be available for Android (I use that version too)

I think the big deal of this is the free offline on board map.

Do you like Free online storage?

Whether you're an iOS, Android, or other O/S fan (or multiple), then you are most likely (or will be) someone that may need a bunch of digital storage.

I'm a big fan of Dropbox and have been using their free 2 GB for a while. I don't want, nor have the cash, to pay for extra monthly online storage. I just participated in Dropbox's latest beta and got and additional 4.5 GB free. I was very happy with that for my needs.

Today i was reading in Zite and came across a post about Box.com offering 50 GB online free storage for life. This particular offer is related to their updated Android app. I immediately took advantage of this and downloaded the app on my Tab. 50 GB free. Nothing wrong with that.

Review: Arkon 22" Heavy Duty Tablet Clamp | C-Clamp Mount for Tablets

If you are not sure who Arkon is, they are a leader in the tech industry for providing mounting solutions for our mobile gadgets. I just finished testing out one of their new models, the Heavy Duty Tablet Clamp, Model # TAB802. This is a 22” adjustable mount for your tablet that attaches with a clamp to a table, desk or cart. (Note that Arkon also has a shorter model.)

I’ve always been impressed with their solutions because they work well. My pics will be at the end of this review, so check them out.

couch potato app (Viggle) Rewards you

I read about this in my morning newspaper today. The link below is actually from Fox News but it has the same information. This app will basically earn you points for watching TV shows and other media related items. It works on your iOS device that has a microphone. This was just released last Wednesday and they will be creating an Android version as well n the future.

The jist of it is that you’re watching a TV show for example and you click the app. Viggle will listen to the show and will then give you so many points per minute of viewing.
