Buy Certified Pre-Owned Devices From Gazelle

I was going through Gazelle's website and came across interesting information that I thought you'd find interesting.

Remember the Motorola RAZR? That was actually the first trade-in that Gazelle accepted. Shortly thereafter, Apple released the iPhone 3G, which created the first generation of obsolete phones (iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, anyone?). Since then, Gazelle has paid out more than $200 million to customers for their devices!

Although there are a number of options for purchasing pre-owned smartphones and tablets online, I know first-hand that there are key things that Gazelle offers that helps ensure you won't waste your time or money buying a gently-used device. For instance:

• Gazelle performs a 30+-point inspection on all their devices (iPhones, Galaxy phones, and iPads), which guarantees that every feature of the device is tested and is of the highest quality before it's sold to you. This is also backed by a 30-day return policy.
• Because Gazelle Certified devices mean no contracts or strings attached, you can upgrade your device at up to 40% less than buying a new one and avoid being tied to an expensive two-year contract that you might not need. You can keep your carrier, or go with a new one. The choice is yours.
• You can also easily trade-in your used iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook, AppleTV, and other smartphones and smart devices to Gazelle for cash in three easy steps.
  
  Step 1: Select your gadget from a list of options on Gazelle's "Trade-In" page, answer a few questions, and then Gazelle provides you with an offer for your device.
  
  Step 2: For items worth $1 or more, it's free to ship your device to Gazelle. Once your trade-in is received, the device is inspected to make sure its condition matches your evaluation.
  
  Step 3: Payment. If the device matches your description, Gazelle will pay you in the form of a check, an Amazon.com gift card, or via PayPal. Payment takes about a week once Gazelle receives your device.

Have you made your choice? Buy your next smart device through Gazelle Certified

If you want to sell your old phone or device and get a fair, cash price for it, Gazelle is the safest, easiest, most reliable way to go. And if you want to upgrade your device without having to pay retail rates or deal with a poor-quality purchase, make your life easy and shop Gazelle Certified.  This is the place where you can buy Certified pre-owned devices from Gazelle.

Review - Pro Tavel Planner App

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

When embarking on a trip, you don't just buy a ticket out of whim, pack your luggage and head to the airport or hit the road.  There is more than meets the eye when planning a trip.

Trips are hectic as they are fun. There are always the planning, the budgeting, the choosing of destination, the selection of accommodations, the planning or the itinerary, the maps, the routes to take, the souvenirs to buy, and all the managing of that one single trip can be very stressful. And a trip is not worth having when you are worrying!

Thank goodness for apps to help us with that! The ever handy Pro Travel Planner helps speed things up. With this app, you can have all those worries disappear in a jiffy, since its an all-in-one package.

Features:

Manage your travel buddies' list
You can track their RSVP, real-time statuses and their contribution in the whole trip. You can also text, call them easily in a single touch.

Plan your all your trip in one place
Manage your lodging, transportation details, places to visit and where to eat. This feature also allows you to automate everything so it makes planning easy as it can trigger auto-alerts of pending tasks.

All these features are made more powerful because you can customize them and the trip data of your planned trip can also be exported to Google spreadsheet or in PDF format.

This app is only for iPhone and iPad as it runs in IOS.

My recommendation:

I am from a family of travelers and sometimes, it can be overwhelming to plan a trip for all of us. Sometimes, my in-laws join us too and it can be daunting, to say the least. I have to make sure that all I have planned for and painstakingly coordinated for several months will not fall into cracks. An app like this Pro Travel Planner is the best app a traveler like myself can have and use.

If you travel a lot and always on the go, this is a great app to use.

The Birthday Boy

It's my husband's 42nd birthday today. I am quite surprised that for once, we are not throwing any lavish party this time. We just had a simple family dinner at home. We ordered from one of our favorite restaurants and decided to stay home and enjoy each other's company.

My daughter and I presented our small gift to him a while ago. I just love the look in his face when he saw his birthday gift. It's simple but very functional. We bought him an iPad/iPhone flash disk. It's the first time I saw the product and ever since he got hooked with Apple products, our gifts have revolved around that.

He's tinkering with his iPad/iPhone flash now as I write this. I can't help but smile because he just appreciates anything you give him no matter how big or small. To him, it's always one of the best gifts he has ever received for his special day.

Happy Birthday honey! God bless and May you have more healthy and happy celebrations of life!

iPhone Applications

The iPhone is such a versatile mobile/smart phone. You can do so many things and download plenty of applications which suit your lifestyle and preference.

I have recently discovered so many functional applications I can use in line with my work and other personal requirements. Those applications are under productivity category. There are more in the Apple App store than just the productivity category. 

You can browse through the various categories in your iPhone's app store and search for free apps if you prefer to not pay. Not only that, some apps have trial offer so you can try them first before you decide to purchase them.

I am fond of the games and other lifestyle apps you can find in the iPhone app store. Although my iPhone is a second hand from my hubby, I try to weigh things first before I download an app. Not all these applications will be used regularly so I only download and use the ones I think will make my life more fun.

So, if you have an iPhone, iPad or even an iPod, check the myriad of choices in your app store and see what you can download for your personal and professional use.

Gifts for Guys

I admit, it's rather difficult to buy gifts for my husband and male relatives and friends because I find the choices very limited. Unlike gift-giving for girls, there are a myriad of items and themes to choose that buying women gifts make it a strenuous task. There are items out there to choose when presenting something to someone special in your life. The gift will vary according to the taste of the recipient and the budget of the giver.

When buying gifts for the male species, one must consider the person's favorites and preferences. For example, if you are giving a gift to your husband who is a football fanatic then the suitable things to consider are pertaining to football gifts like jersey shirts or signed/autographed football or even football paraphernalia.

If the person is the fashionable kind then a nice shirt or a matching tie or cuff links are good bets. I don't think shoes are good gift options because he may not like the style you will choose. A gift voucher will be more apt so he can choose what he likes.

If budget is not an issue for the gift-giver and the recipient is a tech savvy person then the latest iPad craze will be a good gift or smart phones or for the directional-challenged person, the GPS navigation system is a good choice.

A Gift Request

My daughter will be in Grade 7 come September. Time flies so fast! I still remember the time when she was in kindergarten tugging a small trolley bag filled with toys, crayons and snacks. Now, I look at her bag and see teeners' books, pens, notes from friends and doodle pads.

We had an agreement before the end of the school term. My husband and I told her that if she pulled flying colors on her Mathematics and Arabic, we would definitely give her something she truly wanted. And guess what, she improved on her Math and the teacher was even amazed by the level of dedication she had shown. Arabic is a hopeless case because it is difficult to learn as they need to read, speak and write this foreign language. Apart from Arabic, she also had French to learn.

When asked by her dad what she wanted, she hastily said "iPad." I paused for a while and asked, "baby is it i-p-o-d or i-p-a-d." Your guess is good as mine! She really loves electronics and gadgets a lot so this did not come as a surprise. She keeps borrowing my iPod Touch as she enjoys listening to her anime playlist. However, when the iPad was released to the market, I have already seen her gawking at the iPad here in Dubai sometime back and I knew she fell in love.

So now I have to check and compare iPad and ipod reviews to see which one will be right for her age. Of course the answer is very obvious - iPod! I made an agreement with her that if she makes it to top 10 this coming school year, she will get the electronic device and that is for sure. You should have seen the twinkle in her eyes ;)

Battle of the Pads

This is not your ordinary pad paper competition over which one is thicker, smoother, more eco-friendly and carries more pages of endless writing fun. Nope! Not that kind of pad.

Recently, Apple launched (with bated breath) the iPad with a slightly hefty price tag. I think the features out-weighs the price anyway. Imagine carrying a net book without the keyboard part. Isn't that a cool thing and very convenient?

A German company recently released the "WePad" to rival the iPad. It is also in a tablet form but with bigger screen than the iPad. The specs for this WePad is promising as it has SD card slot, 16 GB and 32 GB memory, can play flash, powered by Intel and has Linux software. Also, Neofonie GmbH, the company behind the "iPad-killer" also claims that the WePad does not require any special software if you want to put your music in. Well, that will hurt Apple's iPad because you have to install iTunes to get your music in your device.

I can't wait to see the ending of this tech battle. Let the duel begin!
