Robert's Wallet 
Photos Taken October 25, 2012

This is a most fascinating wallet. I met Robert and recent San Francisco Giants Baseball game. I showed a prototype of our upcoming BulletTrain Wallet and he pulled out his wallet. I was kind of shocked and fascinated at the same time. Basically, his wallet is like Michael's wallet from Wallet Autopsy #1, but his wallet is super organized. In other words, Robert is carrying around (in my opinion) way, way more heat than he needs to. 

Definitely Packin' Some Serious Heat

It's fascinating Robert caries around six Wells Fargo Visa credit/debit cards, and notice that he is doubling up cards in the top four slots on the left and the right side.

There is nothing pretentious about Robert's wallet. It is clear he is not trying to showcase his wealth with things like gold, platinum or black American Express cards, but I would argue that Robert is way, way over-prepared with the sheer contents of his wallet. Why does he need to cary a Macy's card, when Macy's takes Visa and Mastercard? Why is he carrying around a Safeway Card, when he can simply key in his phone number associated with his Safeway Card? This is a really good example of somebody carrying around too many cards.

In the next two images (below) you really see how massive Robert's wallet is, when you compare it with his iPhone 4, which is sitting next to it.

Michael's Wallet
Photos Taken July 22, 2012

As we prepare to launch the all-new BulletTrain Wallet, we will be showcasing people's real wallets. The objective is to illustrate how inefficient most people's wallets are. Micheal's real wallet is pictured below. Michael is a friend of a friend of mine and I showed him our upcoming BulletTrain Wallet solution. He said "Boy, could I use one of those!!! When can I get one?" Then he pulled out his wallet and showed it to me.

Notice how much thicker Michael's wallet is compared to his iPhone 4s. Michael allowed me to empty out his wallet. The bulge created in Michael's pants from his wallet almost looks like he is carrying around a Big Mac.

The contents of Michael's wallet included the following:

1. The original clear plastic photo holder that came with his wallet, which contained a fake paper American Express, and all the rest of the compartments were empty.

2. He had a Bakers Dozen Buy 12 haircuts and get the 13th free card, and it only had one haircut stamp on it.

3. He carries around a Borders Book Store Rewards Card, despite the fact Borders had been out of business for over a year, and four months.

4. He had business cards people had given him more than two years prior. In other words, he has been carrying around other people's business cards for years. The business cards had some pretty severe wear marks.

5. He was carrying around a Powerball lottery ticket, which lost.

6.  An expired Safeway coupon for free something or other.

7. An unactivated VISA card with a stick that read "Your card cannot be used".

8. An expired medical prescription.

9. A Safeway card which uses his phone number as his account number. (When you shop at Safeway you can just key in you phone number instead of having to carry around your card).

10. An expired Blue Shield Insurance card.

11. Five old receipts.

12. A "Preferred Hotel Guest" card for the Ramada Portland Airport that offered a "15% off any meal at Lea's Landing/Bonzo Bill's Restraunt."

13. A large piece of paper with a user name and password on it.

This Viper SmartStart which can use Siri Voice commands is fascinating. Basically, it allows you to retrofit any car so you can start it and unlock the doors with your iPhone. Pretty cool!!!

The All-New 27 iMac

with The BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform

Yesterday Apple showed of the all-new 21 and 27 inch iMacs. The only disappointment was the lack of a Retina display, but is this thing gorgeous or what!!! Because Apple made the side profile much skinnier its design language matches the BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform even better. Look at how great it looks with the upcoming black BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform!!!!

Apple also doubled the RAM capacity to 32GB which is twice the amount or RAM the outgoing iMac had. 32GB will make this thing a true speed demon!!!

Lockitron Keyless Entry Uses Your Phone
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!!!!

Promise To Keep This In The Vault...

Promise To Keep It In The Vault
In mid-November 2012, BulletTrain will forever change your perception of what a wallet can and should be. Until then, as they say on Seinfeld, it's in the Vault. Stay tuned, and enjoy this Seinfeld Exploding Wallet segment...

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.
