Mobile Edge stepped into the Bluetooth accessory arena releasing two new Bluetooth Headsets and a Bluetooth Hands-free Car Speaker Kit. With new cell phone laws in place in 36 states across the country, providing a Hands-free solution to customers was essential.
Featuring noise suppression and echo cancellation, both the PowerSmart Headset and Comfort Fit Bluetooth Headsets look and feel like an accessory similar to jewelry or eyewear.

Mobile Edge Express Laptop Backpack reviewed on Squidoo
Matthew Olivolo December 16th, 2008
One of my favorite Bloggers Kate Trgovac wrote a fun review on the new Mobile Edge Women’s Express Backpack on one of her blogs called Funky, Chic & Cool Laptop Backpacks. She has a wealth of experience and has reviewed nearly every bag manufactuere under the sun. My point is, she is a voice in the industry that people listen to. Here is her review of the stylish women’s Polka-dot Express Backpack. For mroe reviews from Kat, click on the link listed at the end of the review.
Sassy, sporty and pink!
Look, I’m not going to lie to you. I wanted to open this review with the statement, “The pink polka-dot Express Laptop Backpack from Mobile Edge is the bag that Strawberry Shortcake would carry if she were a grown-up freelance blogger/web designer.”
But I was worried that some of you might take that the wrong way. I had a bit of a *thing* for Miss Shortcake when I was younger so, to me, that is a totally positive statement. See the Express is pink, but not ALL pink. And it has pink racing stripe piping down the side. Shows that you’re ready for action. It’s a little sporty, a little designer-y. But not so uber-sophisticated that your friends Angel Cake and Ginger Snap will accuse you of going all corporate, “You used to be one of US, Straw! What HAPPENED?!”
Ahem.
The pink polka-dot Express Laptop Backpack from Mobile Edge is a fun and functional bag to comfortably carry your laptop and other gear. The pink and chocolate colour scheme is vivid, but not overwhelming. And its silhouette is curved and feminine. But don’t think that means this bag isn’t all business on the inside! I really like the layout of the Express. The main compartment is quite roomy. Your laptop goes in a dedicated sleeve at the back of the bag that is well padded. The front of that sleeve has three pockets for smaller accessories or detritus. The interior front flap of the Express Backpack has two pockets as well as the usual pen holders and open slots for small gear, notebooks, etc. Small gussets at the base of the flap help keep your contents contained.
On the exterior there is a zippered media pouch with a headphone escape route. Handy for on-the-go-tuneage. And on each side of the Express there is a long pocket – good for magazines or easy boarding pass access. There is also a tuck-away drink bottle pocket.
The Express is really quite comfortable. Wearing it on the long (LONG) trek to any gate in Vancouver’s airport, I hardly noticed it – the back of the bag is well padded with three strategically-placed ventilation panels – keeps the air flowing! The straps were a good fit, plenty of length and one of them even has a handy mobile phone pouch for easy access. Like all Mobile Edge products, the Express is well made and sturdy. The zippers and pulls are strong and stand up to daily wear and tear.
The Women’s Express Backpack (in both polka-dot and pink ribbon) is available for $59 USD on the Mobile Edge website. For the price of this bag, you get some really exceptional functionality; it’s a great value. Thanks to Matthew at Mobile Edge for sending a review copy.

Mobile Edge Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags in Baltimore Sun
Matthew Olivolo December 11th, 2008
The new ScanFast for Her Collection of Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags have created quite a buzz since their release and have been featured in scores of newspapers, magazines and blog sites all over the Internet. Mobile Edge is the only manufacturer to make stylish Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags specifically designed for women.
Just today writerMichelle Del-Zimmerman from the Baltimore Sun Newspaper included the new TSA compliant laptop bags in a 2008 Holiday Gift Guide. Here is a brief overview of her article.
New on the scene this year are the “checkpoint-friendly” laptop bags and they are a must have for business travelers and frequent fliers.
Over the summer, TSA got together with a bunch of manufacturers and came up with a couple different bag designs that allow laptops to go through airport security without being removed from the case. Over the past few months, luggage makers have been rolling these out left and right.
There are many to chose from, mostly your plain, black bag (also backpacks) but I recently came across these “ScanFast” designs from Mobile Edge. I guess you can tell from the pink that they’re aimed at women who want to speed through security with style. Price: $99.99 at MobileEdge.com.

Mobile Edge: Quick tips for your laptop
Matthew Olivolo December 5th, 2008
Have you ever left your laptop in your car overnight? In the winter time it gets pretty cold regardless of what part of the country you live in. Cold weather does not necessarily harm your computer.
Where the harmful part comes in is condensation or moisture that may build up on your laptop when in the cold, then brought into a warm environment like your house.
If you do happen to leave your laptop in your car, remember a few important tips:
1. Wait at least 10-15 minutes before turning your laptop on.
2. Remember that laptops are made of plastic. So suddenly opening the laptop could result in potential cracking of the plastic cover.
3. If you do have to leave your laptop in the car, ensure it’s inside a laptop carrying case. This will provide some basic insulation and protection.
My recommendation is to visit the Mobile Edge company site to see a huge assortment of stylish laptop cases all suited to meet your preference.

Netbook sleeves by Mobile Edge

![Mobile Edge 8.9\](http://www.mobileedgeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/messu1-8-9-comp-lr.jpg "Mobile Edge 8.9\")
New Netbook neoprene computer sleeves by Mobile Edge are a hot commodity this holiday season. With the explosion of new Netbook and Ultraportable laptops, our new sleeves couldn’t have come at a better time.
Now in two convenient sizes 8.9” and 10” and three different style combinations, Mobile Edge has you covered. Each sleeve is made with 8 mil neoprene and comes with an additional outside zippered pocket to store your power supply and other accessories. They make great gift ideas and only cost $24.99.
Recently Barbara Krasnoff from Computerworld gave Mobile Edge an Honorable mention in an article mentioning hot new Netbook accessories. Here is a brief overview of what she wrote.
It seems that there are a lot of people out there who either own Netbooks, or want to own them — and consequently, who want something interesting and useful to carry them in. The story Netbook chic: 6 new laptop bags for ultraportables generated quite a few emails suggesting additional (and, according to the senders, better) ways to carry around your Asus Eee, Acer Aspire One, or other low-cost, low-weight notebook.
As a result, I thought it was only fair to add a few bags to the mix:
Mobile Edge carries a line of sleeves for 8.9-inch and 10-inch ultraportables called the Mobile Edge SlipSuits. The sleek padded neoprene bags include a zippered external front pocket. The SlipSuits come in black, pink, and red trim, and list for $25.
