  • Airport Desk Space

    Now obviously, being good and dedicated Tablet PC users, we rarely need a desk in order to be effective while traveling. That said, I spent the better part of 9 hours in airports over the last few days and honestly, a desk would have come in handy. Hammacher Schlemmer has just the solution, and it is even advertised in the SkyMall catalog for all of those frequent travelers. This combination luggage cart and folding desk will work as a regular luggage cart, then pop open for a mobile surface to hold your laptop, external drives, cell phone, and any other stuff you just need to be using during that 3 hour layover at O'Hare. The desktop is integrated into the carts molded ABS and lightweight anodized aluminum frame, and it unfolds at the touch of a button into a platform 26" from the floor, secured by the telescoping handle at two points and reinforced by a Y-brace underneath. The platform can hold up to 20 lbs., and can accommodate a 17" wide laptop, or a smaller laptop with an external mouse. via Crave and the SkyMall catalog from my seat pocket Technorati Tags: mobile+desk , luggage This article originally posted on GottaBeMobile.com , THE source for Tablet PC and Ultra-Mobile PC News, Video Reviews, and Discussion Forums!

  • GBM InkShow : ProClipUSA Mobile Mounting Solutions

    In my last InkShow , you got a glimpse of how I mounted a Samsung Q1P running StreetDeck in my GMC Yukon. During the creation of that InkShow, I was so impressed with the ProClip line, I knew then what my next show would be about. Today, it's all about the best mobile mounting solutions I have ever found. Combine superior quality products with excellent sales support and you have a winner. My first experience a few years ago was with a ProClip holder that I fitted to my motorcycle. It worked great. I have looked for a long time for a mounting system that would not be cheesy (cheep) and at the same time look like it belonged in a USMC Hummer (industrial) . ProClipUSA is dead on the money. They have a complete line of excellent mounts and holders for many different vehicles, and many, many different devices. They even have an excellent solution for mounting most of the devices at your desk. Be sure to check out the "extra" video below for a peek! GBM InkShow : ProClip-USA Mobile Mounting Solutions Technorati Tags: InkShow , GottaBeMobile.command Prompt , ProClipUSA The entire process of installing the ProClip system was mindless. Heck, the hardest part was determining just how was best to mount all the devices. Watch the video for a step by step install of both the OQO Model-02 and a couple of different phones as well as MP3 players. The ProClip system is a two part solution. Choose your holder for your device, then choose your mount. That easy. Don't forget the Move Clips! I've said it before... I'll say it again! "The mounting system is key for any successful UMPC integration. Mounting the unit with suction mounts off the windshield just is not for me. I wanted a more "factory" install for both stability and looks. Enter ProClipUSA to the rescue. I can't say enough about how their mount system was just what I was looking for. The guys at ProClipUSA did everything possible to help make this install everything I had hoped for...
