Mobile Cloth: Getting Germs and Fingerprints Off Mobile Devices
March 14, 2012
Once in a while, you have to share something nifty you've run across. Last month, iPhone J.D. blogger Jeff Richardson published a post extolling the virtues of MOBiLE CLOTH, a high tech split micro material that deftly removes fingerprints and (when wet) up to 98% of germs without chemicals.
It was previously painful to look at my badly smudged iPad screen, especially for someone who is inherently tidy. Added to that, I suspect it was also operating as a Petri dish – I well remember the study that said there are more germs on our smartphones than on a public toilet. Ugh.
I have now salted my MOBiLE CLOTHs in my laptop bag, my desk at home and at work and even my purse. They work beautifully on laptops, smartphones, tablets, e-readers, camera lenses and even my glasses, which seem to be mysteriously smudged an hour after cleaning them.
I will return to the usual suspects of computer forensics, electronic evidence and information security next time – but this is a tip you may want to follow up on. And you can buy these miracle cloths with your law firm or company logo to use as promotional giveaways too. They are so useful that I can see these giveaways actually doing some real branding for you.
