Summertime gadgets @Brookstone (plus #giveaway)

Brookstone hosted a group of area bloggers the other night, for a hands-on experience with their latest and greatest gadgets. It was lovely to meet a few of my Georgia Social Media Moms in person (shout-out to Amy, Maria, Meghan, Amber, Bernetta, and others!) and I never pass up an opportunity for a chair, shoulder, and foot/calf massage! If only my home could be filled with Brookstone's massage gadgets... that would equal one happy mama!


Here I am enjoying the view from the anti-gravity chair. Feels funny at first, but so amazingly comfortable:

(My shoes are cute, don't you agree?)

One of the most anticipated Brookstone product launches is coming in August - a Virtual Keyboard that works with any Bluetooth device! This tiny gadget projects a keyboard onto the desk or table, and you type right there on the surface. I couldn't stop pushing "buttons"! Very, very cool. Launches in a few weeks, price point is $99.99. (If you want to pre-order, call your local store. The Atlanta Lenox Brookstone number is 404-841-9004 - tell them BalancingMama sent you!)

Here are a few other great items for technology fans...

Pocket Projector - project images, movies, even
Netflix from your iPhone4! Projects up to a 60" size.

Big Blue Live - Stream music and other audio content wirelessly
from your bluetooth enabled smartphone, laptop or tablet

P.S. And did you know that Brookstone will charge your phone for you? If you find your self at the mall with a low cell battery, pop in and ask them for some power.  

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - but feel free to like on Facebook anyway!
GIVEAWAY -
The nice folks at Brookstone gave the bloggers am Obol, Swoop-N-Scoop bowl as a thank you. I am desperately low on cabinet space at the moment, so I'm going to give mine (and $10!) to one of you!

Since I launched a new Facebook page several months ago, I lost many of my "likes". Therefore, to enter this giveaway, please like BalancingMama on Facebook and leave a quick hello comment on my wall. (If you are already a fan, just leave a wall comment.) *U.S. addresses only, please*

On Friday, August 3rd, I will select a wall commenter to win the bowl AND $10 from yours truly.

Good luck!
