Groov-e announces 2-in-1 wireless car charger and phone mount. #Tech #Wireless #Motoring

Groov-e, a leading UK tech brand, today launches the Wireless Car Mount. Perfect for those who spend a lot of time in the car, it not only holds a phone, but also charges it wirelessly. Simple to use, the Groov-e Wireless Car Mount features an automatic detection and release grip system using infrared technology, literally taking charge of any device (between 3.5” – 6.7”) within seconds. The Groov-e Wireless Car Mount is available now for £29.99 from www.groov-e.co.uk.

 

By combining a wireless charger and phone holder in one, the Groov-e Wireless Car Mount means users can charge their phone without the constant hassle of plugging into the mobile device. The included air-vent or suction window mounts enable it to be positioned wherever the driver feels is most comfortable and safest in the car. Plus, a ball-joint pivot offers 360-degree rotation meaning users can find the optimal position for their phone, making it easy to follow satnav instructions or accept a hands-free phone call.

When it comes to placing a phone in the cradle, the Groov-e Wireless Car Mount uses infrared technology, making it easy enough to be operated with one hand. The sensor detects the device, automatically opening and closing the clips to grip it firmly and securely whilst still ensuring access to all ports and switches. Simply press a button for quick release.

The Groov-e Wireless Car Mount features fast wireless charging so users can easily top up their battery while they drive and not worry about whether it’s being drained by the use of GPS or streaming music through their phone. It’s compatible with all Qi certified enabled smartphones between 3.5” – 6.7”.

Kunal Patel, Director, Groov-e said: “We’re excited to add the Groov-e Wireless Car Mount to our range of wireless charging products. It offers a safe way to charge and see your phone in the car. It grips automatically, there are no cables to fumble around with and it can be positioned wherever is convenient to the driver. What’s more, its stylish and minimalist design means it won’t look out of place in your car.” 

The Groov-e Wireless Car Mount is £29.99 and is available from www.groov-e.co.uk

Ringke have sent over some of their cases to check out for the iPhone 11 and this company is another company I recommend checking out if you are in the market for a new case for your shiny new smartphone.

Ringke cases are affordable and come in many variants for you to pick from which is nice and they have a vast array of cases and more for most smartphones out there today. Both these cases are ideal for your smartphone with two different styles at hand.

Here is a map to track coronavirus. #Coronavirus #China #JHCCSE

Coronavirus has been in the news some weeks now and you may have seen the videos and so on of where it originated from (Wuhan) which is not for ones with a weak stomach I might add. Now things have got real and this is worse than the SARS in 2002/2003 virus and WHO have declared a global emergency which does not sound good but it also means we should not be too complacent about it either.

There has been a case now confirmed in Northern Ireland but the biggest issue right now is containment of the fast spreading disease, I am not a health expert by any means but it is a good way to keep track of things with the live map released by John Hopkins CSSE.

Again realtime data is another thing to keep in mind with how accurate the information is a it has already been claimed by some nurses it is worse than it is and that begs the question on the construction of new hospitals in China and what information is being fed into the system.

Get access to the Map HERE and you can pin to your homescreen on your smartphone,tablet or laptop as a bookmark if you want to keep an eye on it, The Data sources are WHO, CDC, NHC and DXY.

The map is interactive and shows total deaths and total recovered and you can hover on any sight indexed with a red dot to get more information of that region. It is a great idea in the longrun and it is an option for those who want to keep up to date on how this is spreading.

First look at the Withings Move ECG #Withings #WithingsMoveECG #Health #Tech

I have been a fan of Withings since launch and been using some of their products and one up until recent which is the SPORTS HYBRID which I like and others that have seen it like too and they often ask what kind of watch this is and love the idea and simplicity. Withings have been around a few years but Nokia bought them and then sold the company back who has went on to produce some really nice smart devices since and recently announced a new line up at CES 2020 and they did not disappoint and I have my eye on one already.

Today we have the Move ECG and they have got things right here when it comes to price and give others a run for their money.. If like me and you like to have a companion device there is no need to shed out hundreds of euro for one, This one does not have the little window on top but it is something I will get over and I can view the information via the app which works really well and is very consistent with updates and you can customise what you want to see in the app and your notification levels. With a one year battery life too that is another thing you dont need to worry about… Another charger in your house… Anyway today is a quick unboxing and first look and we will go through all the features in what this has to offer in our full review soon.

Any questions as usual hit us up below or on social.

First look at the PaMu slide True Wireless earbuds. #TrueWireless #Tech #Padmate

The PaMu slide True Wireless is a new pair on earbuds on the market and offer great specs for the money which in this case will set you back around €120.
