Back in 2006 I discovered a really cool service called Jott. What made Jott cool was the fact that I could call Jott and dictate a message that Jott would then transcribe into text and then email to me. By programming The Jott number into my OnStar calling system in my car I was able…
If you have an iPhone or an Android phone, you are probably looking for new and cool things to do with your phone. Although I’ve reviewed and recommended many apps on this blog over the years (to find them run this Google Search: https://www.google.com/search?q=realtytechbytes.com+apps)I haven’t run across anything as useful and cool as I am…
While on vacation recently I had the need to send a paper document to someone. I had no scanner or fax machine available to me. To compound matters, the document needed to be in Kansas that afternoon…and I was in Maui! I really didn’t feel like going in search of a fax machine, so I…

I spent a very enjoyable day on Thursday at MacWorld/iWorld as two friends and I wandered the aisles of the Expo and took in a couple of classes on the second floor. Last year’s MacWorld was renamed “iPad Case World” by another friend because it seemed that nearly every vendor was selling some sort of…
