OtterBox Brings Palm Pre Users the Tandem Series Case!

Accessorize Mobile Team — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 15:19:40 +0000

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2010 is starting off pretty sweet! OtterBox got the ball rolling by introducing their new series of cases for Palm Pre users. If you remember we first got wind of this new series about a month ago, and now its finally time! OtterBox has proudly introduced the Tandem Series for the Palm Pre. The new Tandem series is a form fitted case designed to protect and slide with the Pre’s unique egg like design. The Tandem Series for the Pre is expected to launch soon. For complete details head over to OtterBox and get yours.

Check out the press release from OtterBox below:

Fort Collins, COLO. – Revealed at CES 2010, OtterBox announces a new case line, the Tandem™ Series. Engineered with the same attention to detail and consideration for protection as other OtterBox lines, the Tandem Series enhances your smartphone experience with flagship protection for the Palm® Pre™.

“We’ve finally put rubber to the road with the concept of a case for a slider phone and the Palm Pre was just the right place to start,” Curt Richardson said, OtterBox CEO. “The Tandem Series is a completely new design for us and we have spent significant time and effort to offer not only protection, but functionality. CES is the ideal environment to introduce our new line and we’re looking forward to feedback from passionate tech minds at the show.”

Made to safeguard against unexpected bump and shock, the Tandem Series provides two custom fit polycarbonate shells with overmolding and an adhesive screen to shield against scratches.*

“Overmolding is an injection molding process that combines two materials into one interconnected component,” Richardson said. “The Tandem Series is created by molding polycarbonate and silicone together.”

So how does the Tandem Series work?

The first shell attaches to the front of the smartphone and the second shell attaches to the back.

Silicone around the outside edges of the case offers protection against bumps and the polycarbonate shells offer stability to withstand light impact.

Once the case is assembled, it allows for complete functionality, even when sliding the display screen up and down.

The volume keys and power button are covered by a thin silicone layer to offer extra protection and the USB/charge port, earpiece, home button, microphone, display screen, speaker, camera, flash and other features are openly accessible. Included is a microfiber cleaning cloth and an installation card. The Tandem Series offers complete protection for any technology enthusiast.

Meet Grabba, a barcode scanner for BlackBerry, Palm, HTC, and Others.

Accessorize Mobile Team — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:28:05 +0000

This accessory is geared more towards the business readers out there. It’s called Grabba and basically is an attachment that allows your smartphone to read barcodes. It’s available for many different devices including BlackBerry, Palm, HTC, HP, and other devices. Prices start around $500+. Check out Grabba’s site for details on all available models. Below is a press release for their S-Series for BlackBerry… That should give you an idea of the technology.

Press Release for BlackBerry:

Grabba S-8300a Advanced Linear Barcode Scanner for BlackBerry® Curve™ 8300 Series

Grabba S-Series:
Grabba attachments combine seamlessly with PDAs and Smartphones creating a powerful enterprise tool. Fitted with its own rechargeable, long-life battery a Grabba is suitable for heavy workloads without adverse impact upon the battery life of the PDA or Smartphone.

Sophisticated battery management technology allows the PDA or Smartphone to be left attached while battery charging of both units takes place, ensuring battery life is maximised.

The Grabba S-Series attachments are designed to work with PDAs and Smartphones that have only USB connectivity. The Grabba uses a standard mini-USB plug to connect with all the latest PDAs and Smartphones. The S-Series Grabbas feature Pass-through Sync Mode which allows the PDA or Smartphone to be connected to a computer (e.g., to create an ActiveSync connection), while still housed in the Grabba attachment, using the standard mini-USB connector in the Grabba.

Advanced Linear Barcode Scanner Technology:
The Grabba Advanced Linear Imaging Barcode Scanner uses an Intermec scan engine with built-in Intermec hardware decoding. Intermec hardware decoding improves readability of poorly printed and damaged barcodes, as well as an increased number of supported symbologies. With no moving parts the Linear Imaging scanners are impressively durable and reliable, yet incredibly fast and powerful operating with a scan speed of 200 scans per second in full darkness to bright sunlight conditions. And with Intermec’s ‘laser-free’ Active Pixel Sensor technology, it means that they are totally safe.

Supported Symbologies: Codabar, Code 11, Code 32 Pharmaceutical, Code 39, Code 93 / Code 93i, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, Interleaved 2of5, Industrial/Standard 2of5, IT 128, ISBN, ISSN, ISBT, Matrix 2 of 5, MSI (Modified Plessey), Plessey Code, Telepen, UCC/EAN-128, UPC-A, UPC-E, GS1 DataBar/RSS (Limited, Expanded, Truncated, Stacked)

Grabba Driver and SDKs:
Grabba Drivers and SDKs are freely available for download. The Grabba Driver ‘Keyboard Wedge’ feature allows barcodes or proximity cards to be scanned or magnetic stripe track data to be read, directly into a focused text field in any application on the PDA.

The Grabba SDKs allow developers to fully integrate Grabba support into enterprise applications for mobile devices.
