Battery Backup for Mobiles - XPAL600




I invested in an external backup battery this week, not actually for my mobile phone but for a Bluetooth Interface device called an Impatica Showmate. It sits between any projector and a mobile phone such as a Blackberry or Smartphone allowing you to project Powerpoint presentations wirelessly via Bluetooth.
Anyway the Backup Battery is sensational, it has the same footprint as your Platinum Amex stacked 3 high, comes with 6 different connections for 6 different mobes and can give you an extra 3 hours or so. OK it doesn't happen all the time but we've all been out on the road and had the dreaded "Low Battery" Warning, followed by no service followed by an hour or two of angst wondering if we've lost all the data on our mobe and hoping that we haven't; not to mention that we can't get our twitter updates or find out where the hell we are or where indeed we are going as our mobe has also become our satellite location finder.
The XPAL600 is small, light and if it doesn't have the plug on board that fits your mobe, the suppliers will find the right one for you at no extra charge. Free tips for life I think it's called. Pity they don't offer that service for Randwick on Saturday.
Anyway, for $50-odd you can't go wrong, this will save you time, effort, energy, stress, angst and maybe even your job if it means you can keep that little sucker (with thanks to Obama) glued to your ear to clinch the next deal.
Drop me an email if you want to get one. barry@hots.com.au
Which, while I'm on my soapbox, get yourself a Bluetooth Earpiece or Handsfree, you've almost killed me 5 times this week with your mobe in your lobe while you're trying to turn the corner without spilling your mugaccino. Please, all you bozos out there who just don't get it, get it! For less than $50 you can invest in a cheapie or upgrade for about $100, even more if you've got cash to splash. Sure beats the fine but of course some of you just have the cash to splash so it probably doesn't matter. Talk to me about BT earpieces too barry@hots.com.au
Phew what a rant! Get a Backup Battery! Get a Bluetooth Handsfree! Get a Life! Cheers

Westmead Children's Hospital Visimax Donation

Tracey Marshall, Dr Peter van Asperen
Barry & Dr Peter Cooper

On Thursday 5th March, I visited the Respiratory Clinic at the Westmead Chidren's Hospital and donated 2 Visimax Mini Data Projectors to the department for use by staff and children and their families.
The idea was spawned by a very good friend of mine who has supported the Respiratory Department of the Children's Hospital for many years dating back to the hospital being located in Camperdown. Being a modest man, my friend prefers not to be named but his support of the Children's Hospital and particularly the Respiratory Department, stems from his own treatment at the hospital in Camperdown.

When Maxon Electronics Australia Pty Ltd heard about our intended donation, they kindly matched my friend's and my donation with a 2nd Visimax Mini Projector. Thanks to Dana Baggetto, Ray Sanders and Ross Gregory from Maxon for their generosity also.

We're hoping that the projectors get a big workout at the hospital and assist both staff and patients to enjoy their stay just a little bit more. And thanks to the Respiratory team above for the afternoon tea and for taking time to see us.

Westmead Children's Hospital is always open to sponsorship and donations and more information can be found by following the link below.
