Road Trips Made Merry
December 7, 2011New zForce In-Vehicle Cell Phone Signal Booster Adds Miles of Cheer
Not only are the holidays the most wonderful time of the year, they are also the busiest! With end-of-year deadlines at work, shopping, holiday parties and travel plans, the holidays keep people constantly on the move. To reduce dropped or missed calls and data interruption during travel, Wi-Ex (www.Wi-Ex.com), a leading provider of consumer and commercial cell phone signal boosters, has launched zBoost zForce in-vehicle cell phone signal booster.
Americans spend a lot of time in their cars and even more over the holidays. The Allstate 2011 Good Hands Roadside Assistance Survey shows that almost half (45 percent) of American drivers say they plan on taking a road trip of two or more hours during the upcoming holiday season.
With the amount of time spent in the car over the holidays, it is important that drivers and passengers stay connected. Because most long-distance holiday travel, about 91 percent, according to Bureau of Transportation Statistics, is by personal vehicle, cellphones and smartphones are a travel necessity.
Whether you’re using GPS to get to your next holiday party, distracting your children during a road trip, catching up on email or staying up-to-date on news and social media, wireless gadgets are travel lifelines. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also reported that the average long-distance trip length is 275 miles over the December holidays.
Now shipping, the zForce works with 800 MHz and 1900MHz phones which covers most carriers (except Nextel/iDEN, 4G or 2100MHz). The zForce is easy to install and includes a bi-directional amplifier unit housed in a sturdy, lightweight cradle for hands-free operation, 12V cigarette power adaptor, external magnetic mount antenna with 15 ft cable and optional gooseneck cigarette lighter adapter.
The zBoost line allows consumers to take full advantage of data, voice and Internet services on their iPhones™, iPads™, connected devices and smartphones.
This holiday season help family, friends and co-workers stay connected during their holiday travel and all year long with the zBoost zForce.

Top iPhones Apps For Vacations
June 3, 2011Take the stress out of vacations with the perfect travel companion, your iPhone! Its summer and time for some much needed vacation but without all the hassles. Our list of apps can make tracking and booking flights, packing for the right weather, getting transportation, and finding good food so much easier.
This app gives you cab numbers, lets you track them, and even pay for your cab. This is a free app and essential for city traveling.
This free app is one you definitely need if eating in a new city. Even if you don’t travel much its perfect for finding new good eats in your own city. Just shake your iphone to get a list based on food type, pricing, and current city.
Before you even leave home, this travel app will tell you if your flight is on time, delayed or canceled. It integrates with TripIt, allowing you to email your itinerary confirmation to a specific address and then automatically save your flight itineraries to the app. The biggest downfall of this app is the price. At $9.99, it’s definitely targeted to frequent travelers.
Whether you’re deciding what to pack or figuring out if you can leave your umbrella in your hotel room for the afternoon, the best travelers know to keep a close eye on the weather. Yes, the iPhone comes with a built in weather app. But adding locations can be cumbersome and you’re limited to current temperature and expected highs and lows.
The Weather Channel app lets you instantly get the weather forecast for your current location or add another location with a few taps on the keypad. You can get an hour by hour forecast or a full ten day picture of what you can expect while traveling. The Weather Channel app even alerts you to any severe weather alerts in the area – perfect for travelers who don’t spend their vacations glued to the hotel room TV.
Need to do a little work off your iPhone and on your computer? WiFi Finder is a free iPhone App that finds the nearest available WiFi, but it’s not just limited to finding free connections, because sometimes you’re in such need that you don’t care if you have to pay. But if you do only want to see the free WiFi, just tap the “Free Only” button and you’ll see all your gratis options.
