Sam's Club App for iPad and Mobile Shopping

Recently I had the opportunity to check out the new Sam's Club iPad app, similiar to their shopping app for the iPhone. It's one of the more robust mobile and in-store integrated shopping experiences that I've encountered . . .and it's beautiful. (I know! A grocery and goods store!) Just look at this home page: I was mostly excited to check out the iPad app because there isn't a Sam's Club near us, and with the app, we can now shop Sam's Club and have any items delivered to our door! It was great to have this option as we... Read more →

Finding a Good Deal on Some SWAGG

It was nearly one year ago at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show that I was first introduced to SWAGG. I attended a Qualcomm launch party with Kid Rock and now former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi. It was then when I was first introduced to the idea of using my phone for the convenience of storing and managing my gift cards and loyalty and reward cards, so I'd have them with me whenever I needed. Just earlier today we found a couple of gift cards that we've forgotten about and have been sitting in a drawer for nearly three years... Read more →

Win a Logitech HD Webcam Pro 9000!

Last week I was invited to attend a lunch and briefing at the Warwick Hotel in NYC on the Logitech Webcam 9000 with Logitech Vid and HD. I think that once you experience HD, you can never really go back. We have one HDTV in our home, and it's like night and day when I have to watch something on our older television. The same is true of the HD webcams. The first HD webcam I ever used was the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema - which I LOVED and there was really no going back. Maria Bailey of Mom Select led... Read more →
