Somehow, this product reminds me of Inspector Gadget, though it certainly doesn’t come with Penny and Brain. The Sony Ericsson LiveView Remote pairs up with your Android device and gives you easy remote access to all your pertinent data. And it’s on sale for 67% off.

While it is designed to work with Sony’s XPERIA line of smartphones, the Sony Ericsson LiveView will work just as easily with any number of Android smartphones and tablets. It pairs up via Bluetooth and its micro display can be used to show your text messages, Facebook updates, tweets and caller ID information. It can also be used to control your music — play, pause, next, previous, and volume — including a title track display.

In addition to the LiveView itself, the package contains a wristband so you can wear it like a watch and a clip for connecting to your backpack strap or wherever else. There’s also a microUSB charger and user guide in there. The LiveView itself measures 1.4 x 1.4 x 0.4 inches and weighs 0.5 ounces.

Pick up the Sony Ericsson LiveView for just $24.99 on Amazon.com, which is nearly $50 off the regular list price of $74.95. And yes, it qualifies for super saver shipping too.

Live View GPS Tracker Can Track You for 6 Months

Andrew Patel — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 10:31:04 +0000

Live View GPS, a GPS tracker system company, has rolled out two new portable GPS tracking devices that will allow you to track everything from vehicles, parcels to people.

These devices are the LiveViewGPS PT-8100N and the PT-8500 CDMA GPS Trackers. The micro-sized Live View GPS PT-8100N measures only 2.75” x 1.6”, making it very helpful and useful in clandestine operations such as spying for other people or for the police. The battery can last from ten days up to six months depending on the configuration. Now, this is ideal to make your dreams of becoming a “detective” come true.

On the other hand, the PT-8500 CDMA GPS Tracker which is hailed as being one of the smallest GPS Trackers available, only measures 2.5” x 1” and weighs only about 0.8 ounce. This can be used for vehicles and equipment tracking. The prices of the devices are pegged at around $1,000 dollars.

LiveViewGPS Introduces Two New Portable GPS Tracking Devices

Valencia, CA – October 11, 2011 – LiveViewGPS, a leading GPS Tracker system company, has introduced two new portable GPS tracking devices ideal for covert tracking: the LiveViewGPS PT-8100N and the PT-8500 CDMA GPS Tracker.

At just 2.75″ by 1.6″, the micro-sized LiveViewGPS PT-8100N is the perfect device for stealthy operations. It can be used to protect valuable merchandise and equipment, as well as loved ones, including children and elderly persons. It has an impressive battery life of ten days up to six months depending on battery configuration.

The PT-8500 CDMA GPS Tracker is one of the smallest GPS trackers available today, measuring 2.5″ by 1″ and weighing only 0.8 ounces. This real-time vehicle and equipment tracking device operates in impaired environments with no clear view to the sky, including inside buildings, cargo containers, and even hidden under vehicles.

“We are extremely pleased with these new LiveViewGPS offerings. We have had customers already remark that they have paid for themselves in the very first day of use,” said Nick Amelsberg, a LiveViewGPS representative. “Both are extremely easy to use, with no software to download. They’re configured to work directly out of the box!”

LiveViewGPS provides a wide range of tracking features and alerts that can be set up to work with the GPS tracking devices. The PT-8100N can be configured directly from the LiveViewGPS web portal to automatically send an email and text message of every location generated by an “interval track,” and can also be configured to send an alert if the device enters a pre-set zone. The PT-8500 is equipped with a built-in electronic 3D accelerometer which is set to automatically transmit its location each time motion is detected.

Both the LiveViewGPS PT-8100N and the PT-8500 CDMA GPS Tracker work great for equipment and vehicle tracking, as well as for keeping an eye on family members such as children, teens, and elderly relatives.

Sony Ericsson LiveView extends your phone to a nano-like display

Michael Kwan — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 14:19:40 +0000

Are you tired of taking your phone out of your pocket just so that you can check up on your Twitter stream or skip to the next music track? Sony Ericsson thinks you are and that’s why they’ve announced the new LiveView gadget. It’s about the size of a watch face and it comes with a wrist strap. You can kind of figure out where they think you should put it, right?

Basically, the Sony Ericsson LiveView is a Bluetooth external cell phone screen that pushes most of the functionality from your phone onto its 1.3-inch OLED display. You can read RSS, check Facebook, and do whatever else without ever taking your phone out of your pocket. If you’re not the wrist watch type, it can also be clipped onto your clothing like the new iPod nano.

For controls, it has a touch-sensitive bezel and physical buttons on the corners. I don’t think it has anything in terms of a microphone or speaker, though, so you don’t quite get the James Bond watchphone experience. Based on how watch phones have been doing these last couple of years, that might be a good thing. I think I’d still rather just use my phone as-is though.

The LiveView should be compatible with smartphones running Android 2.0+, so long as the app you’re using is designed for this interface. You’ll need the Sony Ericsson LiveWare Manager app from Android Market too. Look for it in Q4.
