The technology market is saturated with a wide variety of personal devices. Many Americans now own a mobile phone, lap top, desk top computer, and more. With all these gadgets it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with what goes where. Luckily, the companies creating all these products are beginning to understand that problem. More and more products are offering ways to link devices to each other, consolidate email accounts into one central address and even receive voicemails and cell phone calls on a computer.Google voice is a new system that allows you to link all of your phones (work, home, cell, etc) to one number. This product also has a feature that can connect your voicemail to your email account and have voicemail messages sent in the form of a written email.Another area where we see a trend of consolidation is in the mobile phone market. Smart phones with internet capability and access to email accounts allow users to use the device as both a phone and computer. With the increase of applications for these phones, more and more technological activities are being simplified to a single device. Some of the many helpful tools found in the Apple Appstore include applications that allow you to manage home and business security systems even when you’re away. The ADT Pulse Interactive Control lets you arm or disarm your security system using your iPhone. This app also allows you to receive emails or text messages alerting you if your alarm system goes off.Many navigation systems are now offering features to allow for making phone calls. The Garmin Nuvi 3790T can be connected to your mobile phone and used to make hands free phone calls while driving. The touch screen feature allows for simple touch dialing.As this trend continues, be on the lookout for the newest ways to consolidate your world of technology.
