Zephyr Real Estate Debuts iPhone App
01.01.70
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Nov 17, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Zephyr Real Estate once again leads the race in technology advances
for the real estate industry. San Francisco home shoppers need look
no further than their iPhone to find every available listing in the
city with Zephyr Real Estate Search, now available in the iTunes
Store.
The Zephyr MLS-powered search makes it easy to find all available
properties for sale in San Francisco. It is the only app that allows
users to search by specific neighborhood rather than just by zip
code, leading to far more nuanced results. The app includes GPS
detection to search in nearby areas, or by any other criteria that is
a priority for those looking for San Francisco properties.
By electing to create a free MyZephyr account, even more features are
available. For example, users will be able to find additional
properties not available on public websites, search pending and sold
properties, save searches and favorites, rate properties, make
notations, share properties with others via email or on Facebook,
receive new listing and price reduction email alerts, and use
Zephyr's exclusive Home Tour tool. The Home Tour tool allows the
creation of customized multi-point driving directions of up to ten
properties, which is particularly useful for planning a tour of
Sunday open homes. All of the personalized saved information, from
searches to tours, is available from anywhere for those with a
MyZephyr account, whether utilizing the full site or the app.

Zephyr portable speakers boost your sound and power
01.01.70
Music always livens up a day at the beach, barbecues, picnics, and other events, and nowadays it's easy to do with Bluetooth speakers and your mobile device. However, the good tunes only last as long as your phone's battery life.
A company called Spar is looking to extend the party with a trio of Bluetooth portable speakers that can also charge your smartphone, MP3 player, or tablet via USB. The smallest one of the group, the Zephyr 300, is compact enough to fit into a pocket and promises 12 hours of music playback. The mid-range Zephyr 500 offers 18 hours of music playback and comes in black or white. Meanwhile, the Zephyr 550 boasts 28 hours of battery life and is encased in aircraft-grade anodized aluminum.
You can connect your mobile device to the speakers using Bluetooth, and you can even conduct speakerphone calls through it. If you find your gadget to be running low on battery life, you can then tap into the speaker's battery power using the USB port in the back. All three Zephyr models ship with a soft carrying case, cables, and an AC adapter.
