This is probably one of the coolest BlackBerry accessories I've tested out so far. The iGrip car charging dock for the Torch 9800 mounts to the windshield or dash in your car and lets you easily drop in your Torch so you can use a navigation app on the go. I fired up AT&T Navigator while my Torch was in the dock and I have to say its just as good (if not better) than having a separate GPS unit. The dock is totally solid and stays secure so you don't have to worry about it dropping off the window. I really like the latch that secures down over the Torch once inserted - it ensures the phone is held secure whether used in landscape or portrait mode. When you get to wherever you're going, just pull your device out and take it with you. The video above is a bit of hand-on with the dock as well as a bit of in-car action to see just how it works. As of right now the iGrip BlackBerry Torch charging dock is only available via Smartphone Experts, so click on over to learn more and pick one up at ShopCrackBerry.com today!

johnnyyuma Sep 20, 2010 at 11:15 am

johnnyyuma Sep 20, 2010 at 11:15 am
because its awesome
sacharj03 Sep 20, 2010 at 11:19 am
Looks sweet! I want one!
cheese79 Sep 20, 2010 at 12:03 pm
This would help prevent me from getting lost as many times as i do (crosses fingers)
trevcrev Sep 20, 2010 at 12:05 pm
Very Very handy
ouhusker Sep 20, 2010 at 12:20 pm
This is an awesome addition to the Blackberry world! I just put almost 1,000 miles on my car this weekend and was wishing I had something like this. Then this am I log on to Crackberry and find one! Having the I Grip will my driving so much safer and I'll arrive faster if I don't have to keep stopping to check out the navigation or look away from the road. Thank you!
04Hokie Sep 20, 2010 at 12:52 pm
OK Crackberry....you only have 25 more chances to pick me.
scotsman88 Sep 20, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Looks great, I would love one of those babies...
BIGDROCH Sep 20, 2010 at 1:51 pm
I Have factory navigations in all my cars but it would be nice to have the igrip for when i go on road trips and drive other vehicles! Hook me up!
MikeAWalters Sep 20, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Hope I win one. This looks nice!
mshane Sep 20, 2010 at 2:07 pm
This would be a perfect addition to my vehicle. Thanks CrackBerry!!
joeybagodonuts Sep 20, 2010 at 2:42 pm
dxwhite Sep 20, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I really want one of these...
Macsr71 Sep 20, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Excellent, now if they would make a ball mount option(like RAM) then I can add it to my motorcycle as well. GPS on a MC is great - no more looking at the tank bag map and flying off the road (which kind of ruins your day you know?)
dazingla Sep 20, 2010 at 3:16 pm
hope i win at leaset one cuz my t would love it in my lancer
ericv1972 Sep 20, 2010 at 3:25 pm
great cradle for the 9800, tight and sceure hold
matbur Sep 20, 2010 at 3:43 pm
That looks great please let me win!!!!
Just got my torch and could definitely use one of these. Thanks!
This is really cool and looks solid. I will throw away my current gps in order to use this with my Torch.
dling71 Sep 20, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Come on crackberry...I really need one of these...my torch will be forever greatful it doesn't have to ride shotgun unprotected.......:)
krblgc Sep 20, 2010 at 3:59 pm
nice one...pick me!
vvokey Sep 20, 2010 at 4:43 pm
I can't wait to get my torch on Friday!! and this is definitely a much needed accessory :)
This looks fun
bmwbarrister Sep 20, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Looks like a very useful device especially if you have a GPS program running!
playero2010 Sep 20, 2010 at 6:24 pm
beats the other gps only items. I will certainly get one for my BB. Super nice application.
tobing Sep 20, 2010 at 7:30 pm
This looks useful for navigation and hands free call.
renegade37918 Sep 20, 2010 at 8:27 pm
i need this in my truck
mtnmods Sep 20, 2010 at 8:48 pm
This thing will be perfect. I have been using a generic mount for my former Curve 8310 for mounting to my window which is great, just a bit of a small screen. I just got my torch last week and except for being a bit more difficult to make phone calls, the thing is pretty neat. My iphone buddies don't treat me like a 90's techno hack anymore.
Anyway the best thing ever for me is 4x4s. I set my phone on the mount, plug it into the lighter and pull up Blackstar GPS or GPS Logger and track my trails, save waypoints, load it to my Nat'l Geographic Software for recording trails and also use it for my speedometer since the Jeep's tires and gears have the speedometer all jacked up anyway.
McLovin187 Sep 20, 2010 at 8:54 pm
i really could use this
Echo27 Sep 20, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Would be great!
I need this in my car!
Xader Sep 20, 2010 at 10:51 pm
...I'll come clean. I don't actually have a Torch...yet.
But at this point it's definitely my next BB, and this is one accessory that my 8900 always needed but never had.
vp0392 Sep 20, 2010 at 11:09 pm
That cradle looks awesome. I have to stay, the torch is a bit tough to handle while driving. Good place to put it.
micksoo Sep 20, 2010 at 11:27 pm
please let me win something crackberry!
angelicar84 Sep 21, 2010 at 12:29 am
This is the BEST charger/car holder I've seen so far. I LOVE how it charges your phone and also has a sticky for your dash. I just bought a "universal" car holder and could not stick it on my dash, so I had to stick it on my windshield and with the minimal vibrations of my car, the holder would slowly begin to fall. Just like everyone on here that's a blackberry lover, I would LOVE to win this iGrip!!!!!! Fingers crossed that I become a winner!!! :-D
Leonardo74 Sep 21, 2010 at 1:59 am
by giving me a igrip cradle I would never be a distracted driver! :-)
Jchocs Sep 21, 2010 at 3:39 am
I would personally LOVEEEE One, my torch would look so super duper sexy in it. and it would make up for the litte scratch i got in the casing today =( PLEASE OOH PLEASE CRACKBERRY GODS PICK MEHH!
BlackBerryMann Sep 21, 2010 at 8:21 am
This looks like a great device. I hope to win one!! Thanks
jblakeley Sep 21, 2010 at 8:25 am
It would be fantastic to win this! Good luck to everyone.
cinder0008 Sep 21, 2010 at 9:08 am
I want one of these badly, hook a brother up!!!!!!!!!
derekdoan Sep 21, 2010 at 9:19 am
This is the accessory I have been waiting for since I got my Torch. I think this could be effective in making sure you keep your eyes on the road. My current holder is potrait style and only mounts to the cup holder. It is very hard to navigate the phone in the car and see my navigation. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
jbendaou Sep 21, 2010 at 9:47 am
am never gona win :(
jvick284 Sep 21, 2010 at 9:50 am
What a great device! This would be such a handy tool for me to win as I drive a truck 400 miles each day 5 days a week. If I don't win this one, I will be buying it because it is one of those can't do without tools. Being able to take it from one vehicle to another just adds to the coolness I think. Also, the 9800 Torch absolutely rocks...best phone I have owned, much better device than my Tour.
e-berry Sep 21, 2010 at 9:55 am
this would be extremely useful for me!
BootlegZani Sep 21, 2010 at 10:12 am
This one would be sweet to win.
jean_jelinek Sep 21, 2010 at 11:02 am
These look like a very usefull item, to be a perfect machine just need bluetooth Car Stereo System to be paired with Torch to avoid Talk and Drive and will work awesome to avoid text and drive. My only concern is uncover top edge because Sun can overheat the phone but is minor problem that can be solve with carefully location.
Congrats Guys this item enrichment Torch Life.
04Hokie Sep 21, 2010 at 11:33 am
I was driving to work this morning...the first turn I made, my phone careened into my passenger door, then the floor. This may not sound like such a big deal, but it was. This was my brand new Blackberry Torch that is struggling to find a safe home in my car with my new move, new job, new state, and new phone. An iGrip Charging dock would be PERFECT!
moz.chris Sep 21, 2010 at 11:47 am
I would love on of these on the windshield of my car.
Rickeibey Sep 21, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Sounds cool, put me in the mix!
SmEdD Sep 21, 2010 at 12:56 pm
So want this, I drive a good 40 miles a day and having the phone in my lap isn't really that safe of a way to use it's GPS.
newshutr Sep 21, 2010 at 1:00 pm
That is awesome...would love to win one..
rstevenw Sep 21, 2010 at 1:06 pm
I want one of these iGrip car charging dock for the Torch 9800.
Dieb25 Sep 21, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Interesting car dock!
Cracktere Sep 21, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Ooooh, pick me, pick me!
That seems like 'must have' for the car. Think about the safety and ease of use. The way people are using phones in the car, it's the only way to go. Great thinking, folks!
awdyo1 Sep 21, 2010 at 2:21 pm
This would be essential in my line of work!
diab4life Sep 21, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Seems like a great all in one mobile product if you travel and need to charge, talk, or use the navigation products, or all three at once.
scuebydue Sep 21, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Would be a nice addition to have
k_howsare Sep 21, 2010 at 5:47 pm
I've been loyal to blackberry for nearly 3+years. Curve 8320, Bold 9700 & the TORCH.
Basically, I just want free sh_t.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
scazlake45 Sep 21, 2010 at 5:57 pm
My morning drives would be infinitely more enjoyable.
fwdutton45 Sep 21, 2010 at 6:30 pm
Great safety item for every smart phone user. I could really utilize this item
micksoo Sep 21, 2010 at 6:40 pm
please crackberry send this gift my way
jayreyes Sep 21, 2010 at 6:56 pm
this looks like its very well made and very easy to use
southernsara Sep 21, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I could use this bad boy for realzzzz! I am always on the go, and as an active college student I can definitely see how this would greatly benefit my every day life. I would never have to worry about where I misplaced my phone in the car or if it will go dead when I travel home on the weekends. It's a fabulous accessory for my fantastic phone and I would love to call it mine! :)
Thanks y'all!
Aristotles Sep 21, 2010 at 8:07 pm
This would be pretty cool to get!
ohbarnes Sep 21, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Just upgraded and this would be perfect! Thanks.
jcs7573#CB Sep 21, 2010 at 9:05 pm
As a real estate appraiser, I'm on the road hours a day. With my phone within reach not only for calls, e-mails, music, txts, having this be my gps and also charging my phone is worth its weight in gold!! Less to clutter up my dash/car with and the ease of everything at my fingertips is a no brainer. A MUST HAVE!!
MistaBaloo Sep 21, 2010 at 9:42 pm
this is probably the coolest thing i have seen for the torch!!
supercat Sep 21, 2010 at 9:48 pm
In addition to discoverying a new feature on my torch every other day which makes me love it even more, now there is a brilliantly designed car cradle which will make me enjoy it much more and make full use of it in the car. Using this with the GPS navigation system, Drivesafe.ly for emails and texts and a Radio station app takes using the Torch to a whole new level with a lot of future possibilities. I really hope I win one.
mauro99 Sep 21, 2010 at 9:51 pm
this will put my car with more style
andres0603 Sep 21, 2010 at 10:00 pm
If I win this blackberry cradle i will give away my garmin for sure
mysti.que Sep 21, 2010 at 10:43 pm
I would love one...please.
CarminaB Sep 21, 2010 at 11:51 pm
First of all I want to say that I love all your reviews. Thanks to you guys I got the gutts to buy the Torch. I love that your promoting this contest and would love to win. For me its very important to have your phone in your face while driving; you never want to be crazily searching for it. For my driving safely is very important.I enjoy the fact that you can also put it on your dash board instead of the windshield which for me it kinda blocks my view since I'm quite short. Also love that you can charge while your Torch is placed on the device.
I would LOVE to win this device because it would be extremely useful to me since I usually have to search in my purse for my phone.
I would really appreciate if I won.
adairpro Sep 21, 2010 at 11:51 pm
would like it.
CarminaB Sep 22, 2010 at 12:06 am
First of all i want to say i love your reviews. Thanks to you guys i got the guts to buy my torch. Secondly i love this contest promotion and would love to win this item. I usually but my phone in my purse where I have to search frantically for it; or i put it beside me but usually falls on the floor. This device would help me be a safer driver and have my phone right in my face. I love how you can place this device on your windshield comes in handy. Anyways i wouLd LOVE TO WIN THIS and i hope you could give me the opportunity.
THANK YOU and please try to consider me
CarminaB Sep 22, 2010 at 12:09 am
hello im desperate to get one of these bad boys please consider me
mr_song Sep 22, 2010 at 5:38 am
I just switched from iphone to bb. I'd love to have this cool accessory in my car.
ksoroch Sep 22, 2010 at 6:36 am
With my 4 hours of commuting time each day, this would be so great to have!
cinder0008 Sep 22, 2010 at 7:18 am
No need to despair! 24 more chances to win! It'll happen?
04Hokie Sep 22, 2010 at 8:55 am
Nothing tragic today. My phone made it work work safely on my console; however, I could hear faint cries...sobs even...that the Torch didn't have an iGrip.
Stevej100 Sep 22, 2010 at 9:30 am
Last night we where leaving the house in the Jeep with the top and doors off. My wife had her 8900 on the dash and it slid right out the door on to the road....But it was OK... I need this Igrip to put my 9800 in so this doesn't happen to me. Help a Poor Jeeper....
Caspan Sep 22, 2010 at 11:48 am
I was going to make one of theses out of a charging pod. I'm a so glad someone else did it first. I would love to use one of these
snutter Sep 22, 2010 at 11:54 am
Oooooo! When I finally get my Pearl upgraded to a Torch the iGrip will look great on my recently replaced windshield! :)
BJONES1471 Sep 22, 2010 at 12:26 pm
As a truck driver I would love to be able to quickly drop my Torch into this holder to utilize my GPS as I change into a different truck daily. This is such a sleek and well manufactured unit that I will definitely be adding this to my Torch, however, I would love to find myself the winner of one so I can show it off to my fellow drivers and make them want a Torch and IGrip holder in envy!
cinder0008 Sep 22, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Not sure if my last post counted for yesterday or today? Well, there you go!
jyaniv Sep 22, 2010 at 2:08 pm
This would be amazing when all the pretty babes ping me, one more time, while my Torch is sitting in my iGrip. I wanna see my Torch, in my eyes.
buschbrothers218 Sep 22, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Although I never win anything I am going to do the same thing I always do and leave a comment. I would really like this product. It would help keep my phone in place in the car instead of falling on the floor board.
johnnyyuma Sep 22, 2010 at 4:18 pm
I really want to be able to charge while i use.
tporter40 Sep 22, 2010 at 5:13 pm
yes please! this would be sweet.
Last week I upgraded from an original Curve (without 3g) to the 9800 and have since been browsing for similar accessories and the iGrip not only looks well designed(latch for locking is dead on), but will perfectly help me use the 9800 as replacement for the GPS my wife keeps borrowing.
From day one the 9800, functions/features of OS 6.0 and new built in Web browser renewed my enjoyment of owning a smartphone -- Thank you Blackberry!
dpyron Sep 22, 2010 at 5:55 pm
This accessory is genius and I love it!
torcator Sep 22, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Would be great cause I use my torch as my radio, so I won't have to worry about the battery.
This cradle would really help me during my 20-minute lunch in my car in which I inhale my lunch and watch youtube, this would really make things a lot less messy.
carmen.sepulveda Sep 22, 2010 at 8:02 pm
this is great for all blackberry lovers. it is one of those must get items
I drove over an hour to get the torch the day it came out, early upgrade fee? didnt care, i spent way too much for this phone, its about time it starts paying back :) Don't get me wrong I will forever wield the torch, as if a runner for the olympic games. (forever or untill a newer cooler BB comes out :) But until then, i really need a cradle!!! i have been to many a stores and even considered buying an iphone cradle (oh the humanity).
well anyway, cradle me like i am your baby!!

thbassman Sep 22, 2010 at 8:17 pm
My wife is always fussing about me having the Torch out so this would be so nice to have a dock, would make me and my crazy self so much safer! Especially since I seem to be unable to put it down and use it so much that i sometimes have to charge it mid-day!
millerman_golf Sep 22, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Great accessory.. Would look great in my car..
mblware Sep 22, 2010 at 9:51 pm
I'd love to have an iGrip because I'm driving for work most of the day.
My car gets kind of cluttered having my phone just laying around somewhere, plugged in to the charger, and my gps stuck to the windshield with even more cords dangling down.
If i had an iGrip it would not only keep my Torch from getting wrecked, it would replace my gps, and even allow me quick safe access to change songs on my media player.
pphilps Sep 23, 2010 at 12:36 am
That looks absolutely amazing!
alaskabennett Sep 23, 2010 at 1:22 am
Hoping to see this cradle on the dash of our car.... Great for finding the way to Grandma's house using a Torch!
lukeg310 Sep 23, 2010 at 1:47 am
great accessory. Thanks crackberry!
Look's cool! Would love one!
cinder0008 Sep 23, 2010 at 9:11 am
Plenty of time left! You still have a chance to pick me, so what are you waiting for?
dxwhite Sep 23, 2010 at 11:00 am
cool...that would be perfect for my commute
Sweetthang kk Sep 23, 2010 at 11:34 am
I have been wanting a gps for the longest but couldn't afford one so I alway used by blackberry. It was hard trying to look down and drive when using it this will be a perfect solution for me!! Please pick me!!
da1105 Sep 23, 2010 at 2:22 pm
cmooooonnn I want one!
1fastz28 Sep 23, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I work for a concrete company doing work all over Wisconsin. This would be a great addition for me to use the phone as a GPS unit as well, so, when traveling around the state I know exactly where to go to get to the next jobsite. Right now I have pencils placed into the vents of my truck where I place the torch for quick viewing. This accessory would be so much nicer.
phanman Sep 23, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Looks very snazy! would love to win one of these hehe
iluvbdog Sep 23, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Awesome! I want one!
athena_imwatchingu Sep 23, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Finally somthing to keep my berry from flying across the car. Can't wait to get one!
cinder0008 Sep 23, 2010 at 3:51 pm
A loser again! That means only 22 more chances! Still holding out hope!
Jamie016 Sep 23, 2010 at 4:21 pm
you know, you should really fasten your seat belt...
gustlik2000 Sep 23, 2010 at 4:36 pm
It would look pretty spiffy on the windshield of my honda element!
annabanana333 Sep 23, 2010 at 4:37 pm
OH OH OH ME ME ME! I need it simply because i haven't purchased a dock for my new baby yet....I HAVE however purchased about 14 sleeves/cases trying to find the perfect fit. *SIGH*
readernc Sep 23, 2010 at 4:47 pm
freaking awesome giveaway.... thanks iGrip and Crackberry
04Hokie Sep 23, 2010 at 5:05 pm
Day 9 request.
Food is running low - rationing will begin. Timmy will be going hunting tonight.
Pick me pick me for an iGrip!
sooner6272 Sep 23, 2010 at 5:18 pm
This looks like an AWESOME accessory for my new Torch....great video to go over the details! Needless to say, I could really use one of these!
muse480 Sep 23, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Save me a "grip" o' dollars and choose me!
TheReds7 Sep 23, 2010 at 6:49 pm
I could definitely use one of these bad boys
chartung Sep 23, 2010 at 6:58 pm
I bought mine! Love it! Now I wanna win one for my girlfriend.
ginammiller Sep 23, 2010 at 8:21 pm
I really like the versatility of the iGrip! I especially like the way the iGrip swivels on the ball joint. I'm wondering why the folks at Garmin didn't use that design on all of their products? I'm forever having to stick and unstick my Garmin GPS from the windshield, b/c it's on crooked. With the iGrip, that irritation will be removed, along with the need for yet another device in my car.
I really want a cradle, cup holders are abusive! ill put a CB sticker on my car!!! :)
wasjonesinatorch Sep 23, 2010 at 9:37 pm
The IGrip Cradle gently holds lady torch while she rides in style, and charges her to boot! She shows me the way home from foreign lands without sliding off the seat and scuffing her gently ribbed back side. Think of the little lady and keep her safe to be gently poked to skip to the next Pandora song. She deserves to win and the iGrip deserves her a perfect match!!!
whanna Sep 23, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Such a simple concept and executed so perfectly. Phone in the face so you don't miss the call too. Sure would come in handy in the car... o_0
allen2779 Sep 23, 2010 at 11:13 pm
First I would like to say that the reviews on CrackBerry are amazing!
Watching the review of the iGrip for the Torch, really impressed me with the design and function of the iGrip, it seems very well built and for me that is important as I want to feel comfortable when my phone is hanging from the windshield or the dash.
Being able to use my phone to replace my GPS is a great idea having everything all in one handy place!
kiwiliqueur Sep 23, 2010 at 11:21 pm
I haven't found a sturdy spot to keep my new phone when using the navigation so this is exactly the type of thing that I was looking for.
turnitblue00 Sep 23, 2010 at 11:56 pm
This is the perfect dock for all the road trips I take!
lisa_cherries Sep 24, 2010 at 1:52 am
This would deff be a awesome 'toy' to add to my car, also wayyy more safe thn looking down than up, down - up, down - than swirve to not completely crash my car.
also would be a awesome pre-xmas gift to myself =] hope I winnnnn one*
mauro99 Sep 24, 2010 at 2:14 am

I drive quite a bit while traveling for work. I constantly use my AT&T navigator to keep me on track. In the past (with Bold 9000), I have just set the phone in my lap while driving. Unfortunately it would always end up between the seats or on the floor when tapping the brakes. This can't happen with my precious Torch! I need to provide the security my baby deserves!
somainer Sep 24, 2010 at 10:15 am
Thanks for the review... Looks like a nice package; glad to see the clip on top does not interfere with the headphone jack. Send me a freebie pleeeeeeeease.
ekormos Sep 24, 2010 at 10:27 am
1 in a thousand to win? pick me! i want!
Boomer56 Sep 24, 2010 at 10:35 am
My cheapo cradle just broke on me and what timing! I just got the new Torch, so this would come in very handy!
Thanks for the opportunity!
DamonCollins Sep 24, 2010 at 10:37 am
Great looking accessory! Can't wait to get my hands on one!
percy08 Sep 24, 2010 at 11:29 am
Looks nice, me likes!
hambroski Sep 24, 2010 at 11:34 am
My Torch arrives next week!
Alphagrey Sep 24, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Nice review, I want one of these. Right now I put my Torch down in the cup holder between the seats so I have to glance down occasionally. Keep me safe and send me one of these, you never know I could live in your neighborhood ;-)
joeybagodonuts Sep 24, 2010 at 1:49 pm
hope today is my lucky day!!! Thanks Again CB
tomsentry Sep 24, 2010 at 2:20 pm
pick me!
I got my new torch yesterday, now the only thing i'm missing is this dock. Great idea.
waiting to win, wanting to win
SDWolf Sep 24, 2010 at 2:41 pm
My current universal mount is old keeps falling off of the window.
I have a Torch and I have been buying accessories for it, so it would really be nice to win the dock.
Cherrymom17 Sep 24, 2010 at 3:57 pm
This looks so simple to use even a Caveman can do it!
Most of my motoring time is spent catching up on calls for both business and personal. This would be perfect and less of a distraction while driving.
Also using my AT&T navigator will be sooo much easier. Awesome Product!!!
shaleem Sep 24, 2010 at 5:16 pm
This would be perfect using Navigator and my VM605 Bluetooth hands free device!
dredger77 Sep 24, 2010 at 6:21 pm
this looks like what i have been wanting and needing very much since i have the torch. I love this phone and everything is does
Looks awesome, if i dont win one..i'll go pick one up, att nav is pretty good anyhow. Send one my way crackberry! Thanks!
johnnyyuma Sep 24, 2010 at 7:11 pm
what does it take to get a free charging dock?
cyoung46 Sep 24, 2010 at 7:52 pm
I must get one!!!!! Love it..
trickster2099 Sep 24, 2010 at 8:54 pm
This would be an absolutely divine accessory to go with my new torch. Thank You for the contest Richard
PeterManning Sep 24, 2010 at 9:32 pm
What a great product for people who are always on the go!
firstname.lastname@example.com Sep 25, 2010 at 1:29 am
Great looking Holder. Very Sleek and looks Secure.
miketchao Sep 25, 2010 at 1:44 am
currently i have my torch resting on some a makeshift stand that i have to readjust everytime i go over bumps on the road. this would be very very very useful!
newshutr Sep 25, 2010 at 7:28 am
hope this time works..
crickee Sep 25, 2010 at 8:29 am
I would love to have this!! It would solve my problem of charging while listening to Slacker and my music through my FM modulator!
joeybagodonuts Sep 25, 2010 at 11:19 am
still not losing faith....hope today is the lucky day. Thanks CB
DOUG BRADLEY Sep 25, 2010 at 12:40 pm
this is fantastic i just received my torch yesterday and this would be great no it would be fantastic . Its so hard to find a good place to keep you phone on any trip in the car long or short this is perfect!!! it would be crackberrytastic !! thank you .
Cherrymom17 Sep 25, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Love my Bold and just upgraded to Torch. Can't wait for it to arrive next week.
iGrip is such a sweet product it would complete my Blackberry experience
Please please please pick me I will shout praise to the rooftops about the iGrip
04Hokie Sep 25, 2010 at 2:35 pm
My personal phone...an iphone...the volume button stopped working today due to the phone being dropped.
BOY I wish I had an iGrip for my work torch so such tragic things wouldn't happen to it!
Antoinette Brown Sep 25, 2010 at 2:58 pm
I love the thought of the itouch cradle. It would assist me in my new move to a new state. I have many places that I need to find. I now go online to mapquest to print a map.
This is a great item.
Realist86 Sep 25, 2010 at 3:49 pm
An iGrip would be quite amazing.
ksamulak Sep 25, 2010 at 3:52 pm
I want one! This is perfect.
thiagobh Sep 25, 2010 at 4:59 pm
great grip! beautiful and clean! i would like to use it soon in my torch!
ktkalcich Sep 25, 2010 at 5:38 pm
That thing thing is definately a must have fir any torch usrrm I hope I win one
dling71 Sep 25, 2010 at 5:55 pm
I need it...I want it......come on crackberry.....
mesew4fun Sep 25, 2010 at 6:11 pm
I need one of these - both my kids and my husband have Garmins - I am left to be lost driving in circles.
owimes Sep 25, 2010 at 7:40 pm
I am the Ultimate Accessories hound! Had everything for the Curve 8320, had everything for the Bold 9000, and now i am starting with the Torch 9800! Got the cradle and now i need this!!!!
AeroNautica0909 Sep 25, 2010 at 9:51 pm
I really want this charging dock for my car! I'm a traveling consultant who moves from place to place- mainly to places that I haven't been to. Looking down at my phone in the cup holder while driving trying to figure out where I'm going is not only too much work but its dangerous. If I can have one of these charging docks to use in the car from place to place it would make traveling from one place to another easier.
vballbwing Sep 26, 2010 at 12:43 am
i want one! it would make my car look cool.
cloud23 Sep 26, 2010 at 1:48 am
This is an awesome item I surely picking it up win or lose.
debtheweb Sep 26, 2010 at 1:49 am
that looks amazing!! really hope i could get one and give it a tryyy =)
- Debby
This would be ideal for the car. Looks fancy too! I'd like to win this
vohkuhl Sep 26, 2010 at 5:46 am
iGrip would go great with my new car and my pre-ordered Rogers delayed Torch (sigh)
iwky_77 Sep 26, 2010 at 6:26 am
Would LOVE to have this on my hand, especially when helping me during driving the hopeless traffic in my city...
Well, starts *finger crossed* from now... :)
toddpart Sep 26, 2010 at 9:29 am
Just got my new Torch and this is the one accessory I really need to complete the experience!
verhoog Sep 26, 2010 at 10:30 am
Amazing, simply amazing. Wish it came out earlier will definatly buy one. Way to go.
gills Sep 26, 2010 at 11:10 am
Boo iGrip - the Crackberry Store ships to Canada too, so what's the problem?
I'll be buying one anyway when they become available in Canada...
mandi.watkins Sep 26, 2010 at 11:11 am
This looks amazing. Could have used this the last couple of trips I took.
johnnyyuma Sep 26, 2010 at 11:37 am
This is an awesome piece of equipment. It looks like it would be the best at actually holding the device in place. I've used many different car mounts and they all fail at holding the phone in place. Not to mention this will also charge the phone....brilliant.
Wuddel Sep 26, 2010 at 2:01 pm
a must
illuminati7 Sep 26, 2010 at 3:38 pm
OMFG could really use one of them my work requires me to use my gps all the time and it sucks holding it in my hand wile driving. i have a torch and loving it every day! Being able to get one would help out so much... Thx in avance if you pick me to get one :)
llarrybb Sep 26, 2010 at 5:00 pm
As a new Blackberry convert I would love to get my hands on a iGrip charging dock for my torch.
dh23ftc Sep 26, 2010 at 8:01 pm
I have the iGrip 12V plug mount for my Bold, well, did. My bold broke and I was hoping a similar mount would be developed for the Torch so I could just buy an adapter and do it that way. It looks like this is the only option iGrip offers for the Torch though. This thing looks pretty sweet! I loved the functionality of my other product and this looks like its pretty quality as well! Once I come up on some more money I'll try to purchase one of these puppies!
mommamrc Sep 26, 2010 at 9:44 pm
This is my first Blackberry and I am ecstatic! I absolutely love this phone and would love to be able to make my friends (all of whom are long time blackberry users) completely jealous! Come on...help a girl out!
adairpro Sep 26, 2010 at 11:45 pm
pick me
svanneck Sep 27, 2010 at 12:48 am
I just upgraded from my beloved Bold 9000 to the Torch. I hated leaving behind my 9000 keyboard but didn't hate getting rid of the trackball. I would really love to win an iGrip windshield mount. I already purchased the car charger...
pphilps Sep 27, 2010 at 1:53 am
I just keep looking at this and thinking about it... if google maps for the blackberry get turn by turn directions.... this will be awesome!
I have GPS built into my car.... but this will make it absolutely obsolete!...
I want one... badly
drdando Sep 27, 2010 at 5:21 am
This is an awesome device! I wish I had seen it before I bought the mounting device I have which only kind of works for my torch. I would love to have this one instead.
cinder0008 Sep 27, 2010 at 7:06 am
I drive quite a bit while traveling for work. I constantly use my AT&T navigator to keep me on track. In the past (with Bold 9000), I have just set the phone in my lap while driving. Unfortunately it would always end up between the seats or on the floor when tapping the brakes. This can't happen with my precious Torch! I need to provide the security my baby deserves!
plumed Sep 27, 2010 at 8:51 am
Would love to win one to accompany my brand new Torch! Thanks in advance Crackberry
yabo730 Sep 27, 2010 at 8:55 am
i need one so bad i had my torch for a week before i placed it down on the cars center console and it slide off and got scratched it my dream to own this thing it like make s it so much sexier... please help me ...
CrazyCamel369#AC Sep 27, 2010 at 10:35 am
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee <3 xoxo 143 i love you lol
johnnyyuma Sep 27, 2010 at 10:38 am
still trying to get one of these things. It is so nice. Not just for using the gps, but for so many purposes. Listening to your music player. You could stick it to the passenger window in the back to play a movie and entertain the kids during long car rides. You can use it with the blackberry traffic app. google maps. when using bluetooth so you can see the display....so much more.
dnabrillhart Sep 27, 2010 at 11:55 am
What an awesome way to cradle the phone while in the car. Makes viewing the the phone easy and should work great for gps driving! Very nice!!
Nammer403 Sep 27, 2010 at 1:02 pm
i still want this!
lssguru Sep 27, 2010 at 1:24 pm
A big HOOAH to iGrip!!!
Don Turow Sep 27, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Awesome product. just got the new torch and i have an older phone holder in my car that doesn't quite work. would love to have this.
cinder0008 Sep 27, 2010 at 3:56 pm

recoil81 Sep 27, 2010 at 5:43 pm
This thing is pretty slick! I could definately sell my standalone GPS unit with this cradle/charger/dock in my car! With the torch in the mail on it's way to me, wow would this make my day!
Thanks for the review CrackBerry - great as always!
Zoso5962 Sep 27, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Got in a car accident trying to navigate with my torch laying in the console last week!
Can't afford an iGrip AND a new car!
Ekobah Sep 27, 2010 at 7:55 pm
See its like this. As I have to 8830 and have dropped it at least a million times so I figure I'll get the torch to see if it is as robust. My phone has worked while being used in the rain and has split into three parts everytime I drop it but it keeps on tickin. But the one place I don't want to drop it is in my car. So the cradle would be a great help towards my continuing BB experimentation with rock solid Canadian technology and manufacturing.
mwill945 Sep 27, 2010 at 8:32 pm
I just bought a torch yesterday, I would love to win one of these docks!
luciati Sep 27, 2010 at 8:56 pm
I don't usually pay a lot of attention to all the available gadgets on the market but this one is really practical and sold at a fair price! I'd love to get one to finally toss my garmin out. You should make an exception to your contest and send one up to me :)
bcuffy Sep 27, 2010 at 10:46 pm
Very neat and well designed for quick attachment
slsurp2 Sep 27, 2010 at 11:10 pm
I have been looking for a good car holder that would allow my new Torch to take the place of my GPS. I found a different holder, but this is exactly what I have been looking for, solid hold, and a charger also. Great job!
AJ_Franklin Sep 27, 2010 at 11:32 pm
I fly my own plane to new cities all the time. This is a great addition to the rental cars that I use when traveling.
bacmgc00 Sep 27, 2010 at 11:43 pm
I think that looks awesome. I'd love to have one. Right now I set my phone in my console and just listen for the direction changes.
stylin9010 Sep 27, 2010 at 11:51 pm
I work with the Alabama State Dept of Public Safety. As a drivers license examiner I see soo many people using there phones while driving. Well I recently got my torch and I think it is the best thing since air. And I just got custody of 3 year old twin girls. So as you can see I am constantly busy. I need my hands free while driving. Not only to set a good example but to also take care of the girls. So please consider me for one of these. P.s. LOVE THIS PAGE
clockwerk#CB Sep 28, 2010 at 12:18 am
great review! now I can safely use my 9800's GPS without having to hold it!! Even still, I'd probably end up purchasing one even if I don't win!
audiodude Sep 28, 2010 at 12:36 am
Just got the Torch, and loving it! That handy dandy iGrip dock would be GREAT to have!
keizerjrr Sep 28, 2010 at 1:02 am
Figured I would leave another comment as we approach the halfway mark. Still would like to win one of these before I have to shell out the bucko's to buy one.
Thanks Crackberry
Davidart Sep 28, 2010 at 4:51 am
How cool is this accessory for the cool Blackberry torch. This goes on my Christmas wish list if I dont win one.
brad9369 Sep 28, 2010 at 6:32 am
Looks Like a wonderful device... P.S. Love my torch!!!!
elhsupra Sep 28, 2010 at 8:31 am
Just got my first bb last week and I love the Torch. As a nursing student I am always on the go and the iGrip would be the perfect complimentary device for this phone.
tomo63 Sep 28, 2010 at 9:04 am
Would definitely keep the device out of reach and insure SAFE driving. I try hard every day to not look at it, let alone text from it during my hour long commute. Great idea.
ygthb Sep 28, 2010 at 10:33 am
checking daily. I travel alot and would love to leave the garmin at home. Just activated ATT Telnav in anticipation of this
gmcgirt Sep 28, 2010 at 10:45 am
looks pretty amazing. i'd use one in an instant.
Drasadex Sep 28, 2010 at 11:04 am
This accessory looks awesome! I'd love to have something like this.
cinder0008 Sep 28, 2010 at 11:45 am
Last night I busted my OEM leather holster for my Torch by catching it on a countertop. $29 down the drain. Winning this iGrip charging dock would really brighten my day!
04Hokie Sep 28, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Work is catching up to me! I haven't been able to make my plea for an iGrip the last few days.
Sooo...PLEAAASEEEE pick me?
kennynee Sep 28, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Wow, this dock/charger could seriously come in handy. No more charging my torch in my cupholders and no more looking at my lap while using my GPS app. This would really help out when taking incoming calls while driving as well. Overall looks like an awesome accessory.
Cherrymom17 Sep 28, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Boys aren't the only ones who love their toys.
Torch arrives tomorrow need this wonderful accessory to protect my new toy.
cinder0008 Sep 29, 2010 at 8:38 am
Man I really want one of these!
Conan Kudo Sep 29, 2010 at 9:29 am
Definitely want one! It would go great with the BlackBerry Torch I'm getting for my brother!
04Hokie Sep 29, 2010 at 2:01 pm
It's Wednesday...Wednesday is always my lucky day!
owimes Sep 29, 2010 at 9:36 pm
I need this!
cinder0008 Sep 30, 2010 at 7:49 am
I really want this dock for my truck! Getting tired of dropping my new Torch on the floor!
runner7395 Sep 30, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Just picked up my BBT yesterday and this looks like it would be an awesome accessory to the phone. I like how holds the phone and has multiple ways you can attach it to your vehicle.
pphilps Sep 30, 2010 at 5:52 pm
This really is such a great idea!
johnnyyuma Sep 30, 2010 at 7:03 pm
Please send me one of these
04Hokie Sep 30, 2010 at 9:49 pm

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a home for my torch.

I need one of these!!! Can't drive & use my GPS at the same time, hook it up Crackberry!!!!
dling71 Oct 2, 2010 at 5:39 pm

This would look great in my vehicle.
johnnyyuma Oct 3, 2010 at 11:02 am

lafountain Oct 3, 2010 at 11:49 am
Got my wife her Torch 2 days ago, she loves it. She wants a car mount, showed her this one, she now wants it. With all due respect to the cb store, is the $37.95 they charge for it the best price out there?
04Hokie Oct 4, 2010 at 10:03 am

Nammer403 Oct 4, 2010 at 10:20 am

After 19 days of waiting... I hope to see my name on the list... I really do...
mwdickey Oct 4, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I would love to be one of your winners. I love my new Torch but live in fear of scratching it up. I hate driving with it holstered so I always have it out but don't have a good (and safe) spot for it in my car.

Wrong animal.
NO bias here!
Similar but better analogy would be child hating parent who insists he eat his peas.
Let the sequestration begin. If it hurts me, personally, I'll take it like a man.
Nice try Mikey but the sequester was Obama's baby. He DEMANDED it.
" I will VETO any spending bill that does not have the sequester in it" Barak Obama
Are the glasses supposed to make him look more intelligent or provide some anonymity? Either way, it's not helping.
Just like you don't complain about paying taxes to support the government? The government from whom you gain so many benefits. Benefits that you won't know you receive until they are gone and (in republican utopia) you have to pay significantly more for to a private company so it can provide less service with a high profit margin?
LIE Obama did NOT demand the sequester. It was the White House that first proposed it, but the Congress who embraced it wholeheartedly and the republicans were very happy to pass it. Better than two thirds of republicans in the HoR eagerly voted for the Sequester, then over half in the Senate voted for it. A lower percentage of Democrats in the HoR and most in the Senate voted for it. In shear numbers, the republicans out voted the Democrats in favor of the Sequester. President Obama never demanded the sequester, no matter how you wish to twist the words and use them out of context or continuity. So to that end you are a liar, plain and simple. With disingenuous liars like you counting on the ignorance of the populace to believe whatever is spewed it's no wonder we can't have a constructive dialogue or cooperation in government today.
Why don't the tea naggers just go out and march in protest, like normal people?
I've refuted this half truth many times. I'm sure you have heard the whole thing at least once, if not you prove that you are nothing but a parrot, mindlessly repeating whatever you're told. Either you are a mindless, incompetent parrot, or you are a liar. Here's the whole quote, the whole truth, not your half truth which is little better than a lie. Here it is, from 2011, so there has been plenty of time for anyone interested to find the TRUTH, not the right-wing LIE
""Already some in Congress are trying to undo these automatic spending cuts. My message to them is simple: No. I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending, There will be no easy off ramps on this one. We need to keep the pressure up to compromise, not turn off the pressure. The only way these spending cuts will not take place is if Congress gets back to work and agrees on a balanced plan to reduce the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion. That's exactly what they need to do. That's the job they promised to do."
I can't find the page today but I did find it a few days ago on faux "news" website too so you have no excuse to keep repeating this lie.
The intelligent people in America seem to disagree with you. The partisan shills and pay-per-post trolls are the only ones agreeing with you.
Somebody is abusing the lefty Kool Aid again…
Please list three things that you enjoy or benefit from that will be negatively affected, that you will lose and make sure they are things that you receive, enjoy or benefit from yourself, not someone else. Unless you have to give something up yourself, there is no pain to you, so you won't be able to "take it like a man."
Nice play on words. You seem to favor the equivalency argument quite a bit.
How about this little bit of fantasy:
"The sequester is not something that I've proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed."
Barack Obama on Monday, October 22nd, 2012 in a presidential debate
Simple question for you, did he lie?
Tea publicans are political terrorists and should be voted out of office since they place party over country.

Katie Gallo was the event winner for Peabody (1-1), capturing the shot put with a toss of 32-5.
MARBLEHEAD 62, SWAMPSCOTT 24: Olivia Vener won both the 55 meter hurdles (9.1) and high jump (4-4) to keep the Magicians unbeaten at 2-0. Other Marblehead winners included Alyssa Nye in the 55 dash (7.9), Faith Ferrucci in the shot put (27-4), Janaya Randall in the mile (5:29.3), Monica Thorne in the 300 (44.7), Kat Huber in the 600 (1:49.2), Paige Ferrucci in the 1000 (3:11.2) and Sarah Oliver in the 2-mile (12:19).

NBA 2K8 is easily the best hoops game on the market this year, a tremendous leap over last year's game, and one of the best sports games ever made. Bravo Visual Concepts.
Just another great basketball game, packed with features and modes that are sure to keep fans and determined newbies happy at least until the 2K9 comes along or a rival franchise gets its act together.
The presentation and feel of the game is near-perfect, but the actual gameplay, particularly on offense, comes up short and frustrating. Lock-On D is a nice feature as well, but it can be a crutch.
While NBA 2K8 may have some kinks to work out in its post game, it's still the best basketball sim on the market.
Although this is a great game of basketball, its improvements over last year aren't as significant as you would probably expect. Instead much of the experience felt like a tune up of last year's game, with some more features and modes added on the side.
Okay if you're looking for feature-filled b-ball - but EA do it better. [Jan 2008, p.78]

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- An Excelsior coin dealer accused of scamming customers out of $2.5 million has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.
Fifty-two-year-old David Marion owned International Rarities Corp., which bought and sold gold coins and precious metals. A federal grand jury indicted him for conspiracy, securities fraud and money laundering. Marion is accused of taking money and coins from customers and giving them nothing in return.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/YqXz59 ) says the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has also accused Marion of securities fraud. Marion faces trial in April 2014 on that case.
A sentencing date on the plea deal has not been scheduled.

Henrico Extension's 'Tree Smarts' seminar series concludes April 19-21
The Henrico County Extension Office and Henrico County Master Gardeners will offer the final installment of the "Tree Smarts" seminar series April 19-21 with a program on mature trees. The seminar is scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m. each night at the following locations (each session will feature the same information): Tuesday, April 19, Dorey Recreation Center, 7200 Dorey Park Drive; Wednesday, April 20, Deep Run Recreation Center, 9910 Ridgefield Parkway; and Thursday, April 21, Belmont Recreation Center, 1600 Hilliard Road.
"Caring for an Older Tree" will highlight the importance of maintaining a stable environment around mature trees to ensure their health. Older trees typically do not respond well to stresses, have greater demands on their energy supply than younger trees and need balance with their surroundings to remain healthy, noted County Agent Karen Carter.
The Tree Smarts seminar series is designed to increase understanding of trees, the role they play in the community's landscape and how homeowners and others can improve the way they care for them. The sessions are free and open to the public.
Participants can pre-register by calling Henrico Extension at 501-5160. Additional information is available online at http://www.co.henrico.va.us/extension

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

DescriptionThe Hound of the Baskervilles is one of the most famous and admired detective stories ever written. Published in 1901 and 1902, it originally appeared in nine monthly installments in The Strand magazine. Like Dickens's serialized novels of the same era, each installment ended with a suspenseful "cliff-hanger" that kept author Arthur Conan Doyle's audience clamoring for more. (
In the story, the old and noble Baskerville family is threatened by a curse: "A great, black beast, shaped like a hound, yet larger than any hound that ever mortal eye has rested upon" terrorizes and kills any family member who comes to live at the Baskerville estate. As the story opens, the hound seems to have claimed his latest victim, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles's nephew, Henry, the new heir to the estate, is poised to take up residence the next day. A friend of the family, Dr. Mortimer, comes to consult the famous Sherlock Holmes in his rooms at 221b Baker Street, though he confesses he doesn't know if the case is more suitable "for a detective or a priest." The first installment of the novel originally ended as Dr. Mortimer explains:
"...One false statement was made by Barrymore at the inquest. He said that there were no traces upon the ground round the body. He did not observe any. But I did -- some little distance off, but fresh and clear."
"A man's or a woman's?"
Dr. Mortimer looked strangely at us for an instant, and his voice sank almost to a whisper as he answered: "Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!"
Into this atmosphere of lonely moors, ancient secrets, deadly threats, and ghostly apparitions comes the supremely rational Sherlock Holmes -- a man described by his friend Watson as "the most perfect reasoning and observing machine the world has ever seen." Piece by piece Holmes and Watson solve the mystery and find the culprit. In the end, they reassure the characters in the novel (as well as Conan Doyle's Victorian readers), that behind the threat of a supernatural "hound of hell" is a perfectly scientific explanation.

The business world is a competitive place. With more and more MBA-waving applicants out there, professionals are seeking highly specialized graduate degree programs to bolster their expert-level status and make them more marketable.
To answer the demand, degrees with career specializations -- also referred to as "concentrations" or "tracks" -- are fast becoming commonplace at institutions across the country. Prospective graduate students can find specialized online programs in everything from sports leadership, higher education enrollment management, and automotive systems engineering, to information assurance, information technology management, and business ethics.
Online graduate degree programs in education and business curriculums, for example, offer a wide variety of concentrations. At the University of Phoenix, online graduate education students can choose from concentrations in administration and supervision, curriculum and instruction, computer education, and much more.
At Capella University, cyber business students can specialize in finance or marketing. At the University of Maryland University College (UMUC), online students can enroll in a new global master of business administration program.
A look inside some of these specialized programs reveals a host of robust and unique coursework that can put prospective students on the fast track to success.
Leadership and Ethics
At Duquesne University's School of Leadership and Professional Advancement, an online master of science in leadership and business ethics (MSLBE) is growing in popularity since it was launched in 2002. The program covers ethical issues in the workplace and provides decision-making frameworks to resolve such dilemmas.
In addition to participating in plenty of meaningful online discussions, generated by such courses as "Conflict Resolution," "Information Ethics," and "Global Ethics," a capstone project is required in which virtual teams of three to five students work together on an investigation of a modern-day ethical issue.
For example, in a capstone course taught by MSLBE Program Director and Professor Jim Weber, one project featured an analysis of reality TV. "Students do an analysis of the first episode of 'Survivor' by (examining) the moral reasoning between the participants," explains Weber. "We also had students do various survey work, such as an analysis of consumer privacy in relation to information technology providers," he says.
MSLBE student Bob McCarthy, a U.S. Air Force captain and an orbital evaluator at the Cheyenne Mountain Space Control Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., says he enrolled in the program because he wanted a degree that would be applicable to his world. "I wanted something I could use in the civilian world, that would benefit me in the Air Force, and that I would feel passionate about," he says.
Part of that passion was brought to life by working with his classmates, McCarthy explains. "I have all these friends -- my classmates whom I have never spoken to or seen. You get a different angle on learning when you are reading what people have to say and (preparing) what you have to write. You get time to think about things and respond."
Information Assurance
Being able to think and respond appropriately is also a big part of a master of science in information science and computer systems management with a new information assurance track, offered by UMUC.
The information assurance track consists of five courses that, combined, have been designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency (NSA), which protects U.S. government information systems. The track prepares students for dealing with potential security threats in corporate, government, and nonprofit information technology areas.
Don Goff, a professor in the UMUC program and executive director of the university's Security Studies Laboratory, explains that in the state of Maryland alone, there is a current need for up to 7,000 professionals with information assurance computer security skills. He cites increasing dependence on computers and Internet connections as the cause of such high demand.
Those professionals who will have an edge? "Ones who can safeguard databases and make sure online connectivity is secure, especially credit card transactions," says Goff. "It's a hot topic, and people are finding what they are looking for in this program in terms of its substance and depth." Since it launched on campus in 2002 and then became a fully online modality in 2004, the program has enrolled more than 1,200 students, he adds.
Valerie Frazier, an information assurance manager who is a working civilian for the Department of the Navy at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, was awarded a full scholarship to earn her master's degree in computer systems management with a concentration in information assurance. The scholarship is part of a $330,000 NSA grant awarded to UMUC to increase the number of qualified students entering the field of information assurance.
Frazier, who began her studies in January, says her first foray into the world of online learning - in a Security Policy, Ethics, and the Legal Environment course - was intense. "But the professor understood that we were all working adults, and he helped us get through the weekly online conferences where you are required to participate in discussions," she explains. With faculty support, Frazier made it through three tough papers and successfully completed a final exam for the course.
Automotive Systems Engineering
Any online student will tell you that online courses are just as intense and challenging as traditional, on-campus courses.
At the University of Michigan at Dearborn's College of Engineering and Computer Science, for instance, an online master of science in automotive systems engineering is a carbon copy of its on-campus counterpart. All of the program's three-hour, on-campus courses are held inside a studio classroom with audio and video equipment that enables online learners to hear and view the very same classroom experience as on-campus students. The lectures are also saved as video streams that can be accessed online at students' convenience through the program's course management system.
According to P.K. Mallick, mechanical engineering professor and director of interdisciplinary programs, the program provides knowledge about advanced technologies that are already in place today, or coming in the future.
"Vehicle electronics, vehicle safety systems, advanced materials, lightweight materials, ergonomic techniques -- you name it -- all of these courses are advanced technology courses," he says.
Online student Andrew Wassef, a vehicle electronics systems engineer for Delphi Energy and Chassis Systems in Brighton, Mich., has been in the Dearborn program for one year. So far, he's impressed and would recommend it to any working professional.
"The courses are well-designed. The course Web site is really easy to access from anywhere," he says. "It's almost like being in class (on campus)."
Wassef also enjoyed participating in a virtual group project in which he and three other students (all working professionals in the automotive field) -- one in Greece, one in Indiana, and another in Michigan -- designed and simulated a hybrid vehicle.
"We used MSN Messenger to hold weekly meetings online," he says. "We put things together, shared our thoughts, and divided up the work. I was impressed with how smooth it went," he recalls. The simulation portion of the project was another benefit. The software tool, Simplorer, was extremely useful, Wassef says. "We can all use it at work in our daily routines."
MBA in Information Technology Management
For online students who work better individually, Western Governors University (WGU) has a number of degree programs that can be earned through self-paced courses. Its new master of business administration program with an emphasis in information technology management provides students with solo study of related domains of knowledge, and then allows them to earn credit based on the successful completion of competency-based tests.
Although it's a self-paced program, students do have the option of enrolling in online courses to help them gain the knowledge to pass the tests.
Students are also assigned a faculty mentor with a background in the field. "They work with students and help them identify appropriate learning - what we call learning opportunities," says Dennis Bromley, WGU's director of business programs. These learning opportunities can be online courses offered by partnering institutions, such as Chadron State College, Aspen University, and California National University, all of which provide graduate-level online MBA degrees.
Learning opportunities can also be developed through self-directed study using textbooks, information from Web sites, online learning modules created by Thomson Netg, and case studies from Harvard Business Online. Additionally, students are required to complete a capstone project of their own design, based on their personal world of work, says Bromley.
"Our program is designed for students to integrate the knowledge they gain in the program with their career. Students are driven to really look at the interface between the IT function and the business strategy," he explains. Upon completion of the program, students are eligible for the Certified MBA (CMBA) designation -- a nationally recognized acknowledgement of business knowledge competence.
Debbie Austin, director of applications for Portland, OR-based Knowledge Learning Corporation, a childcare provider in early childhood through school-age education, graduated from WGU's online undergraduate degree program in information technology in 2002 and waited for the MBA program to be offered online before pursuing her graduate degree. She earned her bachelor of science degree from WGU in 2002 in a record-breaking 18 months; she plans to complete her graduate studies by January 2006.
Austin says she goes into "a very accelerated mode" while pursuing her studies, utilizing her vacation time and weekends for coursework completion and to prepare for the competency-based tests. "It is quite different in that it is a lot more challenging," she explains.
Austin adds that having 20 years of experience working in the field of information technology has been a great asset. "You can pull from the knowledge that you have gained," she says. "In the IT domains, both the undergraduate program and the MBA program have been relatively straightforward because that is what I have been doing for a living."
Working Professionals
The vast majority of students in these online programs are mature working professionals, with plenty of other responsibilities. Austin, for example, is 45, married, and has two grown children. McCarthy is 37 and married with three children, ranging from 18 months old to 13. Frazier is 46 and married, with a 14-year-old and a 22-year-old. Wassef is 38 and single, and he travels frequently for his job and visits with family in Montreal, Canada.
All these students have the drive, determination, and self-direction, which Austin believes is necessary to be a successful online learner. "It really works well for people who have a career, have some learning under their belt, and have developed good disciplinary practices in their lives," notes Austin. "It's not going to work for students who need to be held accountable every step of the way."

Anyone else having issues printing Target coups? I'm receiving the following message: sorry! the coupons you selected did not print. I haven't printed them before and I can't imagine that the five coupons I'm looking to print have all run out.
Any thoughts? Perhaps an issue with the Target site?
- February 7, 2014 at 11:18 AM
Yes, I've tried other browsers and different computers.
I've since contacted Target and they asked that I send screen shots. It is a known issue and I'm not the only one with the issue.
Anywho, just thought I'd share that information with people trying to print. Hopefully others have better luck. I'm hoping I'll be able to print before the knew sale kicks in on Sunday. :-/

Blast This Song | Reviewer: Michael | 3/10/10
Gotta say this is one of those songs that's an instant pick-me-up! Sick? Blast this song! Failing all your classes? Blast this song! Being attacked by a giant piece of bacon while it fights Gir from invader ZIM and Quagmire from Family Guy floats overhead going "Giggedy, Giggedy, Giggedy, Giggedy, Goo!"? If you don't blast this song you're crazy!
Btw: I know this is old but has anybody noticed in guitar hero 3 that the singer kinda looks like a cross between Steven Tyler and Axl Rose? Just wondering....
CLASS!!!!! | Reviewer: XsnoozeX | 1/10/10

My Favorite | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/29/09
This is my favorite Aerosmith song. I was at Jones Beach 6/26/09 and was disappointed that it wasn't played. But it was the most AMAZING concert ever. Steven Tyler was fantastic. Everyone should go see them if you can.
My Wife Looks Like A Dude! | Reviewer: George Gollin | 6/28/09
My horse faced wife Melanie wears mens' clothes and looks like a dude--an ugly dude at that. My daughter is a lesbian and writes mean things about me in her blogs. I am a physics genius and teach at UIUC, but I'd rather be taking it up the chimney from my pal Alan Conteras.
My Absolute Favorite Aerosmith Song! | Reviewer: Fred Deuel | 6/28/09
This is my favorite song by Aerosmith and one of, if not, my favorites of all time! At my senior prom back in may, I requested this song and my friend Paul and I were air-guitaring to it, it was EPIC!!
Aerosmith forever!
hey... | Reviewer: erin | 6/25/09
If this is really Steven Tyler i can't wait for Aerosmith to come to Seattle on tour w/ZZ Top, but i'm too broke to get tickets. Yeah, it sucks. Anywho this has been my fav song by you guys since i was three (about 11 yrs). Its the best tune by you guys that they play on KZOK, our local classic rock station. My dad still remembers his cousin getting Toys in the Attic when it first came out. The ironic thing is we saw the CD in blockbuster yesterday and he bought it for me. Anyway this is a hella good tune and i love your band. Keep on rockin, dude.
If it is Steven Tyler | Reviewer: zewoldt | 6/16/09
If its really Steven Tyler and thats one of your favorits then why is it the only song you don't have on Guitar Hero Aerosmith. Plus, was 'I don't want to fuck you lady, I just want to eat your sandwich' ever recorded.
Aerosmith | Reviewer: Steven Tyler | 6/13/09
Yes yes I am the real singer of aerosmith and I've got to say this song is one of my favorite songs our band has ever come up with. Andf I want to thank whoever put these lyrics up there. Rock on and check out our oncoming tour where we will play dude looks like a lady dudes.

aerosmith | Reviewer: Steven Tyler | 6/13/09

-Steven Tyler
.. | Reviewer: Lincoln Rourke | 12/26/08
Steve Tyler and Vince Neil were in a restaurant where all the waitresses were dudes, Tyler muttered under his breath "Dude looks like a lady". Vince thought Tyler was referring to the waitress dude, but he was referring to Vince. Tyler took the song title and sat down with Desmond Child and they wrote the song in an hour and 45 minutes. Fucken Good song, most notable to some for featuring on Mrs Doubtfire haha
Sooo Cool | Reviewer: Ellabear | 10/11/08
I luv this song i went on the ride at disneyland three times in 4 days i knew all the words by the end of the holiday and couldn't get the song out of my head i llllluuuuuuvvvvv iiiitttt!!
Epic | Reviewer: Anon | 5/20/08
It's not because Vince Neil was "Pretty" you scum, it's because Motley Crue started most of their sentences with "Dude!" and Eventually "Dude! Looks like a Lady" Came up.
And the song was originally supposed to be "Cruisin' for a lady" So stick that in your Juicebox and Suck it..
this rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: joshua | 1/23/08
this song was written about vince neil because he was a dude but he looked like a lady.I would rate this song 20 points.
Dude (Looks Like A Lady) | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/11/08
I am currently reading nikki sixx's diaries of a heroin addict and he even said this song was about vince neil which i did not know until i started reading his book. it's really interesting, all the things you here secondhand about music, then you hear it from damn near the horse's mouth. there are some other really interesting things about lots of other big names in his book.
