When I began smartphones many years ago, my vision was to create an uber device that could do everything, and do everything well. As I previously mentioned, BulletTrain will be launching a brand new product in mid November 2012 that is a complete game-changer. This new product is unlike anything the world has ever seen, and in many, many ways it will move the world much closer to the ideal of having one device that does and controls everything well. 
Lockitron just realeased an incredible innovative new product that also moves the world much closer to this ideal, and you have to check out this video. Just amazing!!!!

iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Drop Test Smack Down

iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy  Drop Test Smack Down
Hi Everybody!!!
Things have been quiet around BulletTrain for a while, but I assure you it is just the quiet before the storm!!! We have been working diligently on a brand new iPhone case. This super innovative case will be available in an iPhone 4/4s model, as well as an iPhone 5 model. This new iPhone case has taken years of development, but I am happy to report it has exceeded my very high expectations. As the designer of this exciting new case, I believe it will not only be the best selling iPhone case, but also obsolete every other iPhone case made. We plan to formally launch this all-new product in mid Novermber of 2012, so stay tuned!!!
In the meantime, this video of the all new iPhone 5 drop test is amazing. I have an iPhone 5 and I plan to write a detailed review as soon as I can get it done. My initial impression of the iPhone 5 is that Apple has finally delivered on the promise of what a smartphone can be. Essentially, it is a truly portable super-computer, that fits easily in any pocket and largely supplements a laptop or desktop computer. The iPhone 5 does everything quickly and well.

First Customer Review of The All-New BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform

...First Customer Review...

The All-New BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform

We originally planned to send out all the review units before we began sending out production units to customers. Due to a last minute modification I had to make to our tool, we fell behind schedule, so I decided to skip shipping out review units until all customer units were delivered. We are completely caught-up with the backlog of orders, and will begin sending out review units next month. 

This explains why you have not seen any formal reviews in major publication yet. The great news is that customers all over the world have received their all-new BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platforms, and they absolutely LOVE them!!!!

So far, one customer wrote a great review I thought I would share with you here.

Review: BulletTrain Express Keyboard Platform

What is it?

The BulletTrain Express Keyboard Platform holds an Apple Wireless keyboard and Apple Magic Trackpad. Essentially, it gives you the same set up as you find on Macbook Pros and Airs.

How does it work?

Basically you snap in your Magic Trackpad and Wireless keyboard. The two devices then sit in the platform. It allows the user to access the trackpad beneath the keyboard just like a Macbook.

BulletTrain Express with Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Trackpad

Why should I care?

It all depends on your approach to computing and your style. Personally, I love how the MBPs are set up. I find I am way more productive with the trackpad beneath the keyboard. I tried using a trackpad in place of a mouse but I found it cumbersome and really not all that effective. I particularly found the trackpad problematic if I was working in a spreadsheet application; I would end-up reverting to a mouse.

The BulletTrain Express feels very solid. It does not move when you are typing and holds both the keyboard and trackpad level. It also provides some much needed wrist support. After 2 days of using it I have to say I am thrilled.

You could also effectively use the BulletTrain Express as an input device for a computer in the living room or media centre. It is totally lap friendly!

The only thing I don’t like is that the BulletTrain Express does not house a full-size keyboard. I do a lot of work with numbers and I need a keypad. I have purchased an SMK-Link Bluetooth keyboard/calculator.

That’s all great but how much does it cost?

The BulletTrain Express costs $79. However, you also have to purchase an Apple Wireless keyboard and a Magic Trackpad. The total setup cost: $223 and with the Bluetooth keypad is about $300. Not inexpensive. But if you already have the trackpad and keyboard and can live without the number pad then you are just looking at the $79.

So how do I get it?

You can order it here.

Conclusion

I love this product! Quite often I am disappointed in tech products as they are not often as they are described. This product is different. I noticed this right from the beginning. The product was on back order and when I emailed to find out when I would get mine, the product creator called me. We discussed the Express and he was confident that I was going to love it. He was right. So, if you have used a MacBook Pro and 
loved it you will love this set up for your desktop.

Andrew's BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform 

Mac Mini Home Theater Setup

It is amazing how many of our customers are purchasing the all-new BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform for controlling their Apple Mac Mini Home Theater systems. 

Before

Andrew S, took this photo of his Mac Mini Media Center setup. Essentially, as we can see, he had a wood lap desk that has a bean-bag bottom that he would rest on his lap when he would use his Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad.

Andrew S just received his all-new BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform made from glass-reinforced polycarbonate and he sent in this after photo and said:

"Received the BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform and using it now!!! Really was worth the wait.."

After

As we can see, Andrew now has a super-clean, ergonomic BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform setup.

Customer Photos Arriving

Customer photos of the all-new BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform out in the wild have begun arriving and so far the responce has been superb!!! Andrew F., sent in this image of his all-new BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform and said:

 "Just got home and have been using the all-new BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform some more. It definitely has alleviated any wrist strain/pain. My shoulders even feel better because my arms are now at a better angle. I love that no matter where you push down, it won't tip over; it's very steady even when acted on by an evenly placed downforce. The 3M gel rest I have works perfectly with the BulletTrain, so both my arm and wrist are supported, more perfect setup than I could have asked for. 

Thanks for putting in all the hard, careful work that was required to build something so elegant. I truly appreciate and acknowledge the labor, ingenuity and elegance you put forth to make this product a reality. Thanks again Jake, keep in touch! Cheers, Andrew F."
