The smartphone is already a multi-tasking machine that has changed the world forever, but there are a few products on the market that make these devices even better. From finding keys to enjoying arcade games, there is no reason that the smartphone can’t be the center of productivity, entertainment, connectivity, and more. Here are just a handful of devices that could make daily chores and projects easier than ever for those that have a smartphone on hand.
Geode
While countless millions use their smartphone for shopping every single day, many are wary about turning their smartphone into a credit and debit card replacement. Geode has become one of the first products that is reliable, easy-to-use, and well protected. This small device attaches to the back of a smartphone and can store information for all financial cards. With a single password and voice commands, users don’t need to remember PINs and reward card numbers, all of which are saved on a highly-encrypted chip.
T?d
From keys and wallets to pets and purses, misplacing items or having them simply run off in the case of a pet seems to be a fact of life. With T?d, these problems may be a thing of the past with a simple GPS unit that can connect directly to a smartphone. There are similar devices, but this GPS unit is just the size of a small coin and has amazing precision. It can quickly be slipped into a child’s pocket, clipped onto an animal’s collar, slid into a purse, or even placed in a vehicle for the more forgetful users.
Fling Game Controller
Gaming has become a major component of smartphones and mobile gaming is a fast growing industry. This device clips over the smartphone and provides small joysticks and buttons that keep the screen free of clutter. With a pair of black ear buds, users can tune out the world and turn their smartphone into the ultimate gaming device for long car rides or even the commute to work.
Lockitron
Even the most careful people tend to lose their keys, and the Lockitron is the perfect option for those that keep their smartphones on them at all times. This device is a powerful lock that can be installed on almost any doorway and wireless connects to one’s internet. With a simple interface, users can lock and unlock doors, give access to friends and family, or even get announcements when someone is knocking on the door.
