Look up forgetful in the dictionary, and you’ll probably see my smiling mug. I forget everything at some time or another. You can call me up and remind me 20 minutes before I leave, and I still might forget it. That’s why the nio is perfect for me. It’s a Bluetooth-activated device that lets you know when you get too far from your favorite gadgets. Once you leave a predetermined radius — the maximum, of course, being the Bluetooth range — nio will activate an alarm. So you can just bop yourself on the forehead and go retrieve your device.
Of course, it’s not perfect. If you leave your BlackBerry in a cab or on the train, you might be too far away to retrieve it anyway. But at least you’ll immediately know you goofed, and take immediate steps to correct it. That’s better than checking your pocket 15 minutes later to realize that the reason you didn’t hear your BBM sound is because your BlackBerry is not in your pocket.
The nio is available on all BlackBerry models from the 8700 up. You can get the device for $69.95 plus $8 shipping. If you’re as forgetful as me, consider it a form of insurance.
