Alright couch potatoes, it's Health & Fitness month across the Mobile Nations sites so that means it’s time to get up and get moving! A lot of us start off the New Year with the best of intentions thinking things like this is the year I get back into shape and start eating healthier. Unfortunately life gets in the way for a lot of us and before we know it, it’s the start of the fall holidays and we’re still trying to work off the pounds from last year’s festivities.

I’m the wife of an Air Force Recruiter which means he travels leaving the responsibilities of the household, our three children, two dogs, my full time day job and my blogging duties all up to me. It’s a lot on one’s plate and finding time just to breathe can be difficult let alone fitting in an entire workout! With these great accessories, my BlackBerry devices help me achieve my goal of wearing a bikini for the first time in my life this summer.

Keep reading for your chance to win a BlackBerry Mini Keyboard with Convertible Case!

 

Packing up to head to Toronto I tossed my BlackBerry Mini Keyboard in my bag and then it made me think about just how happy I am to have it to take along. Often times I don't want to pull out my Mac on the road to do some quick work, so firing up my PlayBook and using the mini keyboard is a great solution. It's easy enough to pack since it has such a small footprint but it lets me crank out email or do some writing without the need of a larger computer.

I've been looking at picking up a Sonos system for my house for quite a while now, but just to get started it's at least a $350 investment. Having kids and a mortgage kind of limits the amount of toys I can buy now (I have to be more selective at least) so I've always put it on the back burner until I have a bigger slush fund to go all out. In the meantime, I've found a great setup that works great and gets the job done for way less using my BlackBerry Bold 9900, BlackBerry PlayBook and a few BlackBerry Music Gateways. Keep reading to see just how easy it is to setup something similiar on your own.

BlackBerry PlayBook itself is a pretty sturdy device but there will be times I like to put a case on it. More so because I'm a huge klutz and prone to dropping it more times than I would like. While I'd like a strong protective case, these can sometimes add too much bulk and weight that I'll eventually return to using a naked PlayBook. However, I came across the Body Glove Stripes case for the BlackBerry PlayBook that seems to give me solid protection while keeping things slim. Follow me after the break for a full rundown of the case.

Contest: Win a spare battery for your BlackBerry! Keep reading for details.

One of the great things about a BlackBerry is that you can easily swap out the battery as you need it. I love being able to have a spare (or four) that I can easily toss in when my battery gets low.

We have a great selection of batteries for all devices at ShopCrackBerry. You can even pick up an external charger so your spare is always at the ready! Keep reading for your chance to win!
