Prepaid Internet for Business Travelers
Acellus Communications, Inc. is a company that just announced something interesting with the launch of its nationwide prepaid Internet service called MyPrepaidInternet.com. This spanking new prepaid Internet service could be quite a bonus for business travelers AND a great way to score some points with your boss. With MyPrepaidInternet.com, you can access Acellus Communication’s internet service as a local call from almost any city in the U.S. That’s quite a tall order. But Acellus claims more than 42,000 local access numbers. That’s a lot of numbers.

BigString Revolutionary New Email Service Provider
BigString is a new email service that I just learned of from Melissa at Road Gladiator. I am FASCINATED by this service, and yes, it provides business services as well as free personal accounts. If James Bond or Inspector Gadget had a free email account, it would most definitely be with BigString.
With a patent pending technology, BigString allows a user to easily send, recall, erase, self-destruct and modify an email after it has been sent. BigString users have unprecedented control over all of their email, whether they choose to …

$100 Credit for iPhone Owners
Due to the recent $200 price drop in the iPhone (didn’t see THAT one coming), Apple is offering a $100 credit to all current iPhone owners. People have been crying to the company about the reduction, so they kindly offered a little kickback (or whatever you want to call it). Seriously, you must have been living under a rock if you didn’t realize the price of technology drops SIGNIFICANTLY within a few months to a year after it comes on to the market. People who rushed out to get the phone wanted to do it for bragging …

Febreeze To Go Fabric Refresher
Febreeze has made a name for itself in the household industry by de-funking your smelly clothes and furniture. That’s been a big help for soccer moms and pet owners around the world, but the company is ready to expand in to the travel market. Great move, considering the various travel odors that arise like airplane smell and sweaty jogging shoes being locked in that little roller board with your nice, crisp clothes.
The nice people at Febreeze, or their P.R. people anyway, sent me a sample of the new Febreeze To Go. I’ll tell you what, …

RoboForm 2Go Password Management System
RoboForm 2Go is a tool for managing online passwords and filling in online forms. Software is available online and you can either use a RoboForm 2Go USB drive or any ole’ USB drive you happen to have lying around. On the drive will be stored all of your passwords and practical information for filling in forms. The information is protected by generating random secure passwords and is only accessible when you enter your master password. It is my understanding that you can then use your USB drive to access your …

The WisePack Backpack Purse
The WisePack backpack purse is just what it says - a purse with all the nifty features of a backpack. As a business traveler for work and a backpacker at heart, I am IN LOVE with this product. Never mind that I’ve yet to see one in real life, I think AWESOME!
The WisePack is “lightweight, ergonomically correct and fashionable, replacing your purse and tote bag when you travel.” Ahhh, less stuff to carry. I’ve been dragging my Baggallini backpack in a pouch around with me …

Personalized Bag Tags from YourBagTag.com
YourBagTag.com has launched a new line of unique, high-visibility fabric luggage tags that can be personalized with an individual’s or organization’s name, initials or logo. I like personalized stuff, although I could never think of a good license plate phrase.
Unless you have customized luggage, there WILL be bags that look just like yours meandering around the luggage claim conveyor. To make things easier, you should make you bag stand out. I’ve see everything from bright red ribbons (okay, those were mine) to weird key chains. …
