  • MPOWERD providing tech to assist Hurricane Dorian victims

    Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.   MPOWERD is a company that has been making innovative solar lighting and charging products….and it has also been a leader in providing that technology around the world where it is needed most.  And when Hurricane Dorian this month targeted the Bahamas…even before it approached the U.S. shores…MPOWERD jumped in to begin providing relief….encouraging others to join in as well.  MPOWERD’s inflatable solar Luci lanterns were almost immediately on their way.  Founder John Salzinger..

    “We don’t have kerosene or anything like that in our lanterns obviously.  So they can go upside down, right side up, it doesn’t matter.  Our lanterns are full waterproof, you never need to replace the battery.  They are maintenance free, no moving parts.  These are the kind of things that when you’re in a disaster you want something durable and something that’s going to work.”

    You can help too…by heading to MPOWERD.com.

  • T-Mobile offers no strings attached 30 day network Test Drive

    Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.   T-Mobile is making a big push to win new mobile customers by giving them an opportunity to use their own phones and devices on the carrier’s network….using a hotspot that includes 600 Mhz service….for thirty days or 30 gigabytes, which ever comes first.  No strings attached…no credit card required.  Sarah Osmer is T-Mobile’s VP for Consumer Post Paid…

    “So they can test out our network where they live, they can take it to their office, they can even take it where they like to vacation the most and really take our network for a test drive to make sure it works for them before they switch to T-Mobile.”

    After that period is up…they can pass it on to someone else for a test drive…return it to T-Mobile…or says the company…just stick it in a drawer.  Head to www.T-Mobile.com/testdrive for more.
