10 Gadgets to Keep Mobile Pros Productive on Road or in Office by Wayne Rash

 

Battery Pack Serves as Impeccable Power Source
There are lots of small batteries that promise to give your smartphone a quick charge when you're out of the office. But most of them fall short because they don't pack the power to provide more than a partial charge. That's not so with the Impecca PEB10200, which packs an impressive 10,200mAh worth of charge in a case that's about the size of a BlackBerry Z30. This makes it small enough to fit into your pocket, but powerful enough to charge your phone, your tablet and probably a couple of other items. It will even charge two items at the same time.
 

Getting Actual Work Done With Your iPad
No doubt, there are people who can touch-type 80 words a minute on an iPad. But mere mortals could use some help if they need to type lengthy documents on their tablets. This is why they make Bluetooth keyboards for iPads and other tablets—so that you can be productive as well as mobile. When Impecca sent me that massive battery, they also sent along a Bluetooth keyboard that's designed to boost the productivity of the more tangle-fingered mobile device users out there. The keyboard is even made out of bamboo, so that it is light enough and thin enough to fit into a briefcase.
 

Nuguard KX Phone Case Provides Military-Grade Protection
We all know the worry that you have when you're out of the office that something bad will befall your smartphone, costing you money and also keeping you from getting your work done. Obviously, one way to prevent a fatal drop, say in the airport concourse between passport control and customs, is by using a protective case. One example is the Nuguard KX case from NewerTech. The company says it meets a variety of military specifications, including MIL-STD-8100 US. This probably suits most users' needs.

Burg 12 Smartwatch Tells Time and Much More
Of course, you can use your standard old analog wristwatch to tell you what time it is, but why waste that valuable wrist real estate just telling time? Now that smartwatches have read the market, it's all about having your life on your wrist as well as on your phone. The Burg 12 Smartwatch does about everything that you've heard that these devices do. But the Burg model adds more features. Where most smartwatches link to your phone with Bluetooth and an app, the Burg 12 doesn't need that. Deep inside the Burg is a slot for a SIM card and a micro-SD card. Plug in the SIM, and the watch becomes a phone. It makes calls using a GSM network, can send text messages and uses data just like your phone. But it will also link to your Android or iOS device with Bluetooth. As you'd probably expect, the watch is fairly bulky, and the screen is about 1 inch in size. You'll need the stylus that's hidden in the strap near the buckle to do anything with the keyboard. But it does work and even tells time.
 

Low-Power Desk Lamp Brightens Those Gloomy Offices
It's bad enough to get back to your office and then find yourself having to squint at the stuff on your desk as you work. Sure, that flickering fluorescent light in the ceiling is supposed to be adequate, but somehow, it's never enough. But a good desk lamp can make the job seem easier and the load lighter. NewerTech's NuGreen LED desk lamp provides plenty of light while keeping things cool because its uses less than 4 Watts of electricity.
