Barclays Pingit App

It's about time Barclays would come up with such a nifty little app! Not the ideal app yet, but certainly a step in the right direction. Right, so, what is this all about?

Sat Nav War!!! Well, kinda…

More and more, a lot of services for which we used to pay premium are becoming free. One such service is satellite navigation, commonly known as Sat Nav or GPS. You can buy a standalone device or have it integrated on your mobile phone or even laptop. There are many brands from where you can chose, like TomTom, Garmin, Nuvii, CoPilot and so many others, and each will sell you maps for a specific region plus the ability to receive turn by turn navigation instructions, speed camera positioning warnings, speed limits and even where you can find the next ATM machine.

Huge little speakers!

Picture this... you go to a customer to present a service or product, and have a nice PowerPoint presentation ready to show. It even includes a video with other satisfied customers testimonial or a positive review taken from YouTube. Another scenario... you are teaching a lesson or training a group of executives and have decided to show off your new iPhone ability to show video, and even took the adapter that allows you to connect the phone to the multimedia projector.

Can  you picture that?

Well, when you are about to start you realize the sound coming from the laptop or the iPhone/smartphone speakers is not nearly enough, and there are no speakers in sight!
