Action Recap of Macworld Expo 2010 with @DotsGloves @JobyInc & UrbanTool

Last weekend, Skimble attended Macworld Expo 2010 in San Francisco.  Sophia Brueckner and Maria Ly of Skimble (and ex-Google girls) are Apple junkies.  They certainly felt at home exploring the expo.  Here's a little recap:

Complimentary Macworld Portraits!  Here are some Skimble action shots taken by the amazing photographer, Asa Mathat:

Here's some great coverage by Best of the Bay's KRON4 including an interview with Skimble at the 4:19 mark:

On the expo floor, these were the action-oriented tools & gadgets that we love:

Dots: The iPhone Glove that feels Gloveless

These gloves keep your hands warm while enabling you to tap and touch away.  They are so awesome that most of their gloves are currently sold out.  Who wouldn't be thrilled to sport stylish DOTSgloves while skimbling on cold days?!

 

Joby: Flexible tripods and mobile device holders

These guys were a lot of fun at the expo, providing us with free pics using their new Gorilla Camera App for the iPhone!  The picture above hits home - their tripods are ideal for impromptu action shots when you're, you know, just hanging out of a limb.  They're really rugged and definitely capable of keeping up with you!

 

URBAN TOOL: Fashionable & functional tech carrying solutions

It was fun discovering this female-led company located in Austria.  Finally, a company that offers innovative and stylish carrying solutions that fit your iPhone, iPod, digital camera, wallet, keys, and water bottle.  What's more is that they've kindly supplied us with several awesome pieces for our Skimble Contests, including the crossHOLSTER and hipHOLSTER!  More details about next month's prizes coming soon.
