0 comments

How To Track Your iPad/iPhone/iPod’s Location?GadgetTrak provides proven theft recovery solutions for a wide range of portable devices including cell phones, PDAs, removable media devices iPodS. ActiveTrak has announced the release of GadgetTrak 2.5, a new version of its theft recovery software for iOS. The update is available for download from the App Store, and the app costs 99 cents. Tracking data is transmitted over a secure SSL connection and you can even use  GadgetTrak to protect your Mac and Windows laptops visit Trak.me from your device or use the in-app button to setup the tracking.

How To Track Your iPad/iPhone/iPod’s Location?

The GadgetTrak iOS application has been updated and released in to the iTunes Store and allows you to track the location of your iOS devices. GadgetTrak silently reports its location and senses when your iPhone or iPad has significantly changed its location and the GadgetTrak server keeps track of where your phone has been.

With all of the photos, contacts, apps and music on your iPhone, losing it would be a massive pain. Unfortunately, that pain is felt by thousands of smartphone users every day. Ask them—they wish they'd had GadgetTrak installed.

When your device is missing, log into your account using any web browser and enable tracking immediately. GadgetTrak will spring to life and generate location reports, including map points, longitude & latitude and IP address to help you pinpoint your lost device. It can even snap photos of the thief!
For extra security, enable the "Deleting Apps" restriction in Settings App->General->Restrictions. This will keep the thief from deleting GadgetTrak (and any other apps).

But dont forget the application has to be activated before it can start tracking your iPhone or iPad and when it is activated your battery will use more juice than normal.

 

Features

Location Tracking

If your device has GPS capability it will be used by GadgetTrak to get the most accurate location possible. Even without GPS, GadgetTrak can use cell towers and/or advanced Wi-Fi positioning technology to pinpoint the location of your device usually within a few meters.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Continued use of GPS can dramatically decrease battery life. For better battery performance, deactivate tracking until the device is lost. The GadgetTrak app does not use GPS and will not impact battery life when tracking is disabled (even if the Navigation icon appears).

Push Notifications

GadgetTrak automatically sends a discrete message to your device, enticing the thief to initiate a tracking report.

Camera Reports

Snap a photo with the built in camera(s) to collect crucial evidence to help Police catch the thief. (available for iOS devices with at least one built-in camera, additional in-app purchase required)

How To Have All The Latest Gadgets Without Going Broke

0 comments

How To Have All The Latest Gadgets Without Going BrokeGadgets have become the part and parcel of our life. Hardly any of us can imagine our life with different gadgets. The gadgets help to promote the quality of our life and thus the budget plan for buying gadget should be done under the purchase ability of an individual. So, here some tips How To Have All The Latest Gadgets Without Going Broke.

How To Have All The Latest Gadgets Without Going Broke

Warning
Before we begin, a word of caution: Go down this road and you will lose money. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. That said, if you're smart about timing, anal about upkeep, and diligent with your documentation, it's possible to attain bleeding-edge bliss without leaving a trail of financial havoc in your wake. The truly adept upgrader can even come close to breaking even. Here are some guidelines to follow in your new never-ending quest to remain current.

Learn Your Life Cycles and Laws
Moore's Law, Bell's Law, Kryder's Law—someone's always pronouncing them dead or obsolete, but many of these guiding tech principles are the main reason you're continually playing catch-up. The relevant ones also exert tremendous influence over when, how, and why your gear evolves. If you plan on leveling up at regular intervals, you'd do well to familiarize yourself with all of them. Having even a basic understanding of these informal laws can give you a sense of why the laptop you bought two years ago seems old and busted now.

Beyond that, they also shape various tech industry roadmaps. Companies like AMD, Intel and others are all fairly transparent about their update cycles. But figuring out how those plans carry over to actual gadget updates can take some work. For those devoted to Apple products, tools like MacTracker will help you divine specific product release date patterns and pricing history. Unfortunately, PC users don't have anything as useful.

Still, you can also start tracking company announcements and specific release dates yourself by going back and reading gadget sites and company press releases. Once you have a year or two's worth of data, spreadsheet those numbers to look for patterns. Macrumors has already done most of the heavy lifting for Apple upgraders. But you can also set up your own calendar alerts if you're feeling ambitious. It may seem like overkill, but staying one step ahead of new product announcements is paramount to earning top dollar for used gear.

How To Have All The Latest Gadgets Without Going Broke

Also, keep in mind that the end of November through the beginning of January (that'd be right now…) is the absolute worst time to sell your gear. With Black Friday/Cyber Monday/X-Mas/CES in the mix, we're right in the middle of new product announcement season. This is also accompanied by heavy discounts from retailers looking to clear inventory. Wait at least until mid-January before you even think of putting your gear on the market.

Save Everything
Resist the urge to toss out receipts, boxes, warranty cards, and other seemingly useless pieces of paper and cardboard. Nothing is more reassuring to a new owner than receiving a gadget that's neatly packaged with all its original materials. Also keeping all your materials will assure potential buyers that you're not a crook. You not only buy yourself a ton of pricing leverage when you save everything, but things like a receipt will also facilitate the transferal of warranty and registration info. If you have unused space in a closet or garage, start constructing your box tower now. Grab a Rubbermaid bin or two for storing everything else. If space is at a minimum, gadget boxes also made into makeshift bedside tables, desks or bookshelves.

How To Have All The Latest Gadgets Without Going Broke

Brands Matter
A lot. Just as some cars retain their value better than others, so do some gadgets. If you're going to swap your gear every year, it's best to focus the stuff that'll fetch the highest price in the second-hand market. To get a sense of which brands retain their value, keep an eye on completed eBay auctions. eBay Pulse gives you access to the top 10 most popular searches, popular stores, popular products, as well as the highest priced and most watched items on eBay. It doesn't hurt to do a specific searches for the item(s) you're selling on Craigslist, either. Like it or not, Apple products tend to retain their value much better than other brands. Other big brands like Sony and HP are also proven performers.

…But So Do Categories
Just like brands, certain product categories are always easier to traffic. Don't wast your time on items like printers, external hard drives, HDTVs, or any other gadget that is either already relatively cheap (new) or exceedingly awkward to transport. Laptops, desktops and smartphones, on the other hand, are usually in demand and easy to unload on the unsuspecting masses.

The Configuration Dilemma
If you're reading this, chances are you'll be itching to spring for the tippy-top-of-the-line gear. That can be a mistake. Always think of your target market when buying a new product. It may be the case that your potential customers won't share your affection for the latest Core i7 processor or your propensity for massive memory reserves. Here, it helps to pay close attention to company earnings calls to figure out what the most popular items are in a given quarter. Then use that info to make an informed choice. While it's possible that certain high-end or flagship models will be in great demand, people shopping the second-hand market are usually looking for bargains. Just keep in mind that a re-seller's sweet spot isn't always the priciest item.

Care for Your Precious
It goes without saying, but a scuffed, dinged or otherwise flawed gadget will command a dramatically reduced price. When you purchase your new gear, invest in cases, covers, furry linings and whatever other prophylactics you think will be useful. You don't need anything fancy or stylish, just enough to keep your gear safe. And hey, when it comes time to sell, you can always offer these protective cases and charge a little extra.

Warranties
Remaining current means you'll be dumping your gadgets back into the market after a year—often less. You should also seriously consider extended warranties. Don't worry, you can usually recoup the price of these plans when you sell you gear. Note: This is especially important if you're selling stuff online, where a buyer won't be able to test drive or physically inspect the item. Their peace of mind = money in your pocket.

Preserve Your Batteries

Cosmetic appearance is important. But proper internal maintenance should be high on your priority list too. Since most our mobile gear is powered by fickle lithium Ion batteries, you'll want to do everything you can to keep them healthy and happy. If laptops are your thing, software like Coconut Battery (for Macs) will help you stay on top of load cycles and internal temperature. Most companies also offer strategies and tips for keeping your batteries healthy. Follow them.

Get to know Trade-in/Recycling Sites
They should be last resorts if you truly want to maximize the amount of money you can get for your gear, but combing through sites like Gazelle and YouRenew will give you a good idea of just how fickle the gadget resale market can be. Want to know how quickly your fancy smartphone depreciates once the new version is announced? Take a look at the payout rate for the 3GS.

Timing Is Everything
Once you've figured out what you can sell, the next question you need to ask is when. Here's the answer: Right before the announcement of the next-gen version. Days make a huge difference here; selling at the right time can mean as much as 10- to 20-percent more cheddar in your pocket. It doesn't hurt to read gadget blogs to stay on top of all the latest news. We recommend gadgetmostwanted.blogspot.com, but there are apparently others. Just remember, falling behind on news is not an option. Something as innocuous as a rumor can send other like-minded upgraders scurrying to the Web and flooding the resale market.

The Art of Pricing
This is definitely more art than science. But do it right, and you can walk away with close to what you originally paid. In rare instances, even more. Ever notice all those ridiculous Craigslist ads asking for triple the retail price? Don't do that. But depending on the item, it can be smart to start high—particularly if you are selling a hard-to-get or high-end item. Even in the second hand market, people still equate a higher price tag with higher quality item. It can pay to make that gamble. If the timing, product, and condition is right, you can frequently get away charging retail (minus tax). Bam, you just rented a gadget for 8-percent of its retail price. In the end, there is a subtle dance to arriving at a fair and attractive price without short selling yourself. With practice, you will learn it.

Hone Your Salesman Skills

Your gear is in pristine shape, everything is in order, and it's time to write your ad. If you're funny, be funny. If not, just be straightforward and comprehensive. "Here's this Used Thing, Gimme Money" will not do the trick. When you get responses or enquiries, try not to appear overeager or desperate. But don't be vague or elusive, either. Spend a little extra time and effort to list your gadget's meaningful specs and take some nice (flattering) pictures. Answer questions in a timely manner. It's also a good idea to use one or two representative shots and then link to a Flickr gallery with better, higher-rez pics. People like to see effort.

Act Locally
Sure, PayPal's convenient, and eBay and Amazon gets you tons of eyeballs. But if you really care about squeezing every last penny out of your used gadgets, nothing beats a good ol' fashion face-to-face transaction. And that's why Craigslist should be an upgrader's first stop. Yes, spam and scams tend to abound here, but there are also tons of decent, respectable people simply looking for good deals. The added benefit of selling locally is that the person can actually see what they're getting, minimizing the risk that you'll get caught up in some endless online dispute. Oh, and there's also no transaction or shipping fees. Just remember to always insist on cash.

Lady GaGa's Camera Sunglasses: sunglasses that moonlight as a camera
The concept of fashion photography gets a makeover with Polaroid's new GL20 Camera Sunglasses. Part of the Grey Label line introduced at CES by the Fem Fatal of Fashion herself, Lady GaGa will be repping them while you will be wearing them, hopefully sometime soon. These glasses go beyond GaGa cool into a Bond-like netherworld of possibility. Users can instantly capture or upload photos with the built-in camera and then display the image they just took on the glasses' LCD screens for others to see. The sunglasses contain a camera and 1.5-inch organic light-emitting diode screens that can grab and display images and video as well as store them on a chip in the earpiece of the glasses and transfer them to a computer via USB. Call it Instant Artistry; call it Fashion with a Pun. Top 10 Most Must Have New Travel Gadgets

Get it: It will be awhile until you will be putting these glasses on and playing Gotcha! They are still in prototype and do not have a launch date yet. Keep an eye out for Lady GaGa. When she gets her pair, you can get yours. For more information, visit Polaroid.com.

Walkin' Bag: the carry-on that doubles as a lawn chair and a desk
Finally! A carry-on that doubles as a lawn chair! We don't know what took the luggage industry so long. Not only does this do-it-all case fit a week's worth of clothing, it moonlights as a chair—or a desk. Stuck in a terminal full of cancelled flights? Turn the seat into a desk and start typing away (or simply unfold the seat, lean back, and relax). Finally, it's a four-wheel spinner so the bag practically flies down the pathway. The frame comes apart from the bag for easy storage and stuffing and the whole thing can hold the weight of a 300-pound person without concern for cracking. The only thing we don't like? It's hard to find outside the Website. Top 10 Most Must-Have New Travel Gadgets

Innex ElectroHUB: the device that charges all of your gadgets at once ... wirelessly
Innex ElectroHUB is one of the most genius travel devices we encountered at CES. The item is a wireless charger that lets you juice a half dozen electronic gadgets at once (no more multiple sets of cords to bulk up your luggage and lose in strange rooms!). Here's how it works: you plug ElectroHub into the wall, place up to six devices on the 6-by-9-inch surface and wait for them to charge. The hub works with everything from mobile phones to e-readers to game controllers and provides a full charge within standard time frames. The rub is that you'll need to swap ElectroHUB batteries into your devices before they'll work with the wireless charger. The hub weighs about 11 ounces.

Get it: $39, including a set of ElectroHUB batteries (additional batteries cost $10 per set). The device is set to launch later this year. For more information, visit Innexinc.com.

ZAGGmate: a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad
ZAGGmate might be this year's winner when it comes to iPad accessories. The sleek protective case doubles as a keypad and…well, a desk for quick notations on the go. The case comes NASA-style with aircraft-grade aluminum for protection and an attractive, high gloss finish. Open the case and the top section doubles as a hinge stand for holding the iPad at a comfortable viewing angle while the Bluetooth keyboard on the bottom section allows for easy QWERTY typing. Downside: ZAGGmate charges separately and does not double as a charger for the iPad. The case with keyboard adds nearly 13 ounces to the iPad but only about 1/4 inch in depth.

ChicBuds: a thumb-sized boombox
While ChicBuds have been around this year as cartoon-colored retractable ear buds that can attach to a key ring or hole in your MP3, CES brought the next generation of darling sound servers: the ChicBoom Keychain Speakers.

iPower: a solar iPhone charger
Mi Suny is trying to save the world one iPhone at a time. The candy-colored portable iPower3 (for iPhone 3 series) and iPower 4 chargers use the sun to keep your iPhone in juice so you never have to go for too long with a dead phone. The iPhone fits glove-like into the hard shell case and then can be worn as single unit with a cord around the neck exposing the backside solar panel to the sun for ongoing charges. The front display of the phone remains exposed for calling, surfing and accessing apps. Top 10 Most Must Have New Travel Gadgets The downside?

Neoprene Laptop/iPad Case: a laptop case that's stylish and durable
Built's neon neoprene designs insure that wherever you're going, your computer and your iPad can go with you in style.

Roomy to the bone you can add folders, notebooks and guidebooks. For iPads, we recommend the Neoprene Envelope. The Scuba Blue Envelope provides stylish protection for the precious pad with form-fitting design and graceful curves to keep it secure. The interior pocket is perfect for storing an adapter, phone or keys and the soft inner lining helps prevent scratches and bumps from jolts.

Protect and Play iPhone Case: a high-impact shell for your iPhone
The Pelican i1015 case looks like the kind of thing that would allow you to take your iPhone, iTouch or iPod into battle and never miss a tune or a call. OK, you can't take it swimming with you, but your gadgets will go just about everywhere else in this bomb shelter of a carrying case. The high-impact, heat- and chemical-resistant polymer shell maintains a decorative edge—kind of a mini-suitcase look—while the clear coating allows you to watch videos if you want. An earpiece connector peeks through the plastic casing so you can listen to music as you go without the usual worries of dropping or losing your device, or exposing it to the elements. Downside? It's a bit clunky and does not fit easily into a purse. But it slips into a beach bag with the greatest of ease. It also fits Blackberry Curve, Storm, and Pearl; the G1 by T-Mobile; and the Nokia 5800, E63, E71, E75, N78 and N79. Top 10 Most Must Have New Travel Gadgets

      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks


      1. Get Geographical


      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      In addition to offering further functionality when uploaded to iPhoto, or the likes of Flickr, adding a geographical “tag” to your iPhone images makes them easier to organize and view on your handset, especially if you take a lot of pics.

      When you first activate your iPhone, you will be prompted to let the device’s camera use your location. If you dismissed the option, or aren’t sure if you have it enabled, it’s a simple thing to check and set up.

      Simply go to the “Settings” menu on your homescreen, then “General,” then “Location Services,” and toggle to the “On” option for “Camera.”

      Now, any photos you take will be sorted by their location. To see this in action, go to “Photos,” select your “Camera Roll,” and along the bottom of the display you should see a “Places” option.

      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      Hit “Places” and the phone will load up a map with red pins to denote where it is you’ve been snapping. If you tap a pin, it will tell you how many images are tagged with that location and give you the option to click through and see them.


      2. Hold Steady


      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      Camera shake is always problematic with compact snappers, and the iPhone’s touchscreen design, although great for other applications, does not help matters, as you have to physically tap the screen (potentially moving the camera) to take a photo.

      Well, technically you don’t have to “tap” the screen. The camera button does not take the picture until you release your finger from it, so if you’re struggling with blur, press and hold your finger on the button as you compose the shot and then gently release it at the point you want to capture.  Also don’t forget to subscribe! or be a fan on facebook must have web rss ahli desain


      3. Tap and Zoom


      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      The iPhone’s camera works well enough if you use it as a point-and-shoot snapper, and many people do, but there are some features that will help you get even better photos.

      You can tap anywhere on the screen to focus (a blue square comes up on the display as you can see from the image above). This not only focuses on that area (which may already seem clear in your display), but also adjusts the exposure and white balance automatically for the main area of your image. This also works for the video camera as well.

      In camera (but not video), while the blue focus box is on the display, you’ll also see a slider bar underneath. This is the digital zoom — just slide the bar to zoom in. Remember that it is digital, rather than optical zoom, meaning you’ll be sacrificing image quality if you do use it. It’s best, if possible, to just move closer.


      4. Copy and Paste Pics


      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      You can easily copy images from the web and paste them into e-mails or MMS messages. In Safari, simply press and hold on the image you want and you’ll get the option to save it or copy it. Saving it will see the pic saved down to your Camera Roll, while copying it means you can then paste it.

      You can also carry out the copy action with an image already in your Camera Roll — again just press and hold until you see the copy option. Also don’t forget to subscribe! or be a fan on facebook must have web rss ahli desain

      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      Once your copied image is on your iPhone’s clipboard, head over to mail or messages and press and hold the message body, at which point you’ll see an option to paste. Hit that and you’ve successfully attached your pic.

      5. Edit the Camera Roll


      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      Your Camera Roll (the album in Photos where all your pics are saved) can get a little cluttered, especially if you’re experimenting with the iPhone’s camera. Rather than go in and delete pics one at a time, there is a quicker way to clear out the clutter.

      Go to “Photos,” then “Camera Roll,” and in the main thumbnail view you’ll see a box with an arrow coming out of it in the top-right of the screen. Press this, and it gives you the option to “Select Photos.” Now, tapping on any thumbnail will select it (denoted by a small red tick) and then you can simply hit the delete button for quick and easy bulk removals.

      6. Go Widescreen


      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      In camcorder mode, you won’t automatically “see” the full version of what’s actually being recorded, which means (as you can see from the images above and below) you could be including things in the frame that you don’t want on tape.

      In order to make sure what you see is what’s being recorded, you need to double tap the screen (whether the iPhone is recording or not) to get the proper widescreen view to see more of the image.

      7. Trim Video


      Most Useful iPhone Camera Tips and Tricks

      If you’re going to be recording a lot of video on your iPhone 4, you might consider paying out $4.99 for Apple’s iMovie app, as it offers tons of editing and creative functionality right on your handset. Also don’t forget to subscribe! or be a fan on facebook must have web rss ahli desain

      If, however, you’re only going to be taking the odd snippet of vid here or there, it’s worth knowing the iPhone offers some limited video editing options that can “trim” a clip either at the beginning or end (or both) to tidy up your films before you upload them to a video sharing site such as YouTube, or to your computer.

      To trim your footage, after you’ve recorded the video, in Camera Roll, press and hold the long rectangular box along the top of the display. This then gives you the option to trim. You can slide your finger along the box to select the frames you want and lop off the beginning or end.

      When you’re happy with your selection, you can choose to save over the original clip or save it as a new movie in the Camera Roll.
