TommyLog TECH – Mobile Video Production Studio #VZWBuzz #ad

Hey kids it’s Tommy, and you know how much I love doing videos — for today’s TommyLog TECH, I set out to see if I could use my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as a mobile video production studio.

There are so many video-editing apps for the android platform, there is really no way I could test and try each one. I wanted to see if I could find one that  closely mimicked the desktop editing experience.

I had a list of criteria I tried to keep to. I wanted to find an app that allowed for trimming clips, merging clips, adding titles, and had cloud storage capabilities so I could share via Google drive and dropbox.

Now certainly editing is one major component of the mobile video production studio, but taking nice steady shots is also important. Below is a listing of the tools I used to capture this video.

Cyberlink Power Director

Joby Gorillapod Original

Joby GorillaPod (hybrid – similar)

Smartphone Tripod Mount
Is the mobile experience going to 100% mimic the desktop video editing experience? Probably not, but you can look pretty good, wherever you are, just you and your Note 5.

Using the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as a mobile video production studio is totally Tommy Approved!

TommyLog TECH – Apple Pay vs. Samsung Pay #vzwbuzz #AD

Hey Kids it’s Tommy and for today’s TommyLog TECH I want to take a look at and talk about Samsung Pay versus Apple Pay. One has a head-start on the other, and one has some pretty neat features that might surprise you.

As I put the two payment systems head to head,  I talk about what exactly is NFC? Which system is easier to use? What are the differences between Samsung Pay and Apple Pay. Which is the most secure?

Watch the head-to-head showdown to see who wins and which one is Tommy approved.

UPDATE – 11-14-15 – In doing more research, I was wrong about Samsung Pay magnetic secure transmission (MST). It utilized digital tokens and is just as secure as NFC transactions.

TommyLog TECH – Amazing Samsung Support #VZWbuzz #AD

Hey Kids, it’s Tommy, and for today’s TommyLog TECH I want to tell you a story. The story starts out very sad. As I begin my tale I need to tell you about my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and someone who put the S – Pen in wrong. Putting the S – pen in backwards causes significant problems with the device. One of them is that it will never come out again without permanently damaging the device. I didn’t know what to do. So I decided to chat with Samsung’s online support.

I had no idea the outcome of this process. this was all new territory for me, using Samsung’s tech and repair processes. This story has the happiest of happy endings! I cannot thank Samsung enough for how great they took care of me and how fast the repair was.

Samsung technical support is totally Tommy approved!
