Portability is the name of the game these days, and road warriors everywhere are taking their work with them while on the run. But what do road warriors take with them when it is time to have fun? Can you take a party with you? You can, with the iCD04FX Portable DJ Station. You can mix with professional precision, using the two CD players with +/- 10% pitch control per CD payer. The iCD04FX features a built-in mixer with Master EQ control with crossfader. You will sound like a master using the 16 custom audio effects controlled by the center wheel, and run the party with the included microphone. Your party-in-a-boom-box also has a built in FM tuner, stereo speakers, AC/DC power option and an RCA line output to connect to a home stereo. The AC cord is included, but batteries are not. The iCD0FX Portable DJ Station will instantly transform you from a road warrior into a party animal. This quality item is offered by Ion. Find out more about this product on www.ion-audio.com.
The Wi-Ex signal booster
If you own a cell phone (and you probably do) you know the problem of an occasional cell phone ‘dead spot,’ at home or work, where you get so small a reception that you drop calls, or at least get a broken up, garbled conversation. Take heart: there’s a new solution to the one-bar frustration. The new zBoost Cellphone Signal Extender can beef up your phone’s signal strength in your home or office. Simply mount the included antenna near the window and run the cable to the base unit. You will get 2500 square feet of signal area, dramatically improving your cellphone signal. There is a small outdoor unit and cable to mount to receive a signal, and all of the screws and hardware are include in your zBoost Cell phone Signal Extender kit. This gadget works great, but it needs a signal to work; even one bar should do it. There are several models to choose from according to your service carrier, check to see if yours does.

The Turbocell Charger
Those of us who rely on our cell phones would be lost if our batteries ran dry without access to an electrical outlet. Stop worrying about having your phone die during an important conversation, or during long trips. Stay connected instead with the Turbocell Charger. It uses just one readily available AA battery to charge your phone’s lithium battery. The Turbocell Charger is as small as a pack of gum, easy to keep handy and great for your peace of mind during power outages, etc. There is no worry about overcharging you phone, thanks to the Cellphone Charger’s Dual AlgorChip technology.
