The Mobile Executive

A couple of weeks ago I attended an event called “The Mobile Executive,” which was put on by Sprint Hawaii and elegantly held at the Mercedes-Benz dealership. This sneak preview affair allowed me to play with some new and upcoming technologies that Sprint has to offer.

The mobile executive is able to access their business information and have entertainment while on the go, all in one hand, connecting to content over a wireless network. He/she does this by using all-in-one devices – the convergence of the digital camera, PDA, e-mail access, television and mp3 player. The mobile executive is also able to do more while away from the office and be responsive to customers "real time" needs. There are always ongoing software upgrades for faster data, better capacity and improved applications.

Part of the mobile executive’s life is spent driving out on the road. Any car has the potential to become a part of the mobile lifestyle thanks to Bluetooth car kits. For those of you who want something a little more complicated than the plug-and-play Parrot kits I previously wrote about, but don’t have the patience or the know-how on installation, Hands-Free Hawaii will do it for you. There, the Bluetooth kits range in price from $179 for the Nokia CK-7W, or Motorola HF850 to $479 for the high-end HF Kit. Call Terence Yorga of Hands-Free Hawaii at 597-8008, and he will help you figure out your own customized Bluetooth car solution. Also keep in mind that utilizing your phone’s Bluetooth capability will also help you promote safe driving to other drivers on the road.

The devices of the mobile executive can benefit anyone, especially frequent travelers who need to stay in constant touch. To explore what Sprint has to offer, visit your nearest Sprint PCS store or log onto www.sprint.com.
