For such a company as Apple, with a name that so many are familiar with, it’s still a great claim to be on top of the “brand” pile. You can be known as a brand for good or bad things, and overall, people are saying they put Apple in the number one spot even though they have had a few things try to slow them down.
Brandjunkie.com claims that with six out of ten questions, Apple stays on top of the rest as a name that people believe in when buying products.
They point out that innovation is of huge value to those surveyed, along with reliability and simplicity. Read up on the results over on the site and you’ll see other brands mentioned like Microsoft and Nike. I enjoyed reading this article and seeing how brand names impact our society so much.

Grace Digital has a wonderful gadget named the XLink that is a cellular bluetooth gateway. It utilizes your home phone convenience and merges that with your cellular phone usage. XLink was super easy to set up and worked on my first try. I followed the simple instructions, plugged the XLink into the phone and immediately found the XLink in my Bluetooth list.
The connection was easily established and the sound was clear. It connected my cellphone with a standard cordless that I had in the house. Then, I was able to use my home phone receiver but all the calls coming into my cellphone rang into the house phone. I can see this being very practical for people with National plans that desire to call long distance with a cellphone plan but wish to use the home phone receiver.
Simple to use, very few buttons, easy to understand lights and the convenience of Bluetooth were great combinations. Caller ID and Call Waiting work just fine, so you don’t sacrifice features, here. You can also connect the XLink to your PC for more advanced use.
