Ignore the Title. I'll see myself out xD

But in this one I pit the Pro Neckband against the INAIR Pod. The comparison is mainly from the perspective of use with the LUMA Ultra, but I do talk about using other glasses with them too. The Ultra is just the best pair of glasses to use on both of them, so we are going full Goku and letting them fight at their BEST. It wouldn't be fair if I used the INAIR glasses for the Pod lol

It's honestly closer than I thought and the winner actually surprised me. BUT it's really not as cut and dry as just going by category wins makes it seem and I think the argument can be made for either.

Which one works best for your use case?

I think I will personally be reaching for the winner more often now, but a software update could change that any day.

Hello and welcome once again, INAIR and Tech enthusiasts. We've got another head-to-head match lined up for you today.The comments terrace has been chanting – "why not just use DeX?" – so we figured it was time to stop benching the debate and let both sides take the field. Today's magnificent matchup: INAIR OS vs. Samsung DeX. For pre-kickoff conditions we tested the INAIR POD and a Samsung Fold 7.

First off the scouting report. What is DeX? DeX is Samsung’s system that turns your phone or tablet into a first rate line up, desktop like mobile workstation. It gets called up whenever you link your mobile device to a second screen - an external monitor, TV, or PC either wired or wirelessly. All in the name of boosting productivity on the scoreboard. You can use your phone to control the mouse cursor with the push of a button, or bring in Bluetooth accessories like a keyboard or mouse to round out the squad. With DeX in the lineup, you can open apps in their own windows and resize them to make full use of the pitch. Windows will open similarly to a desktop computer. You can snap your screens to the middle, left, or right for a tidy formation that keeps everything organized.

However DeX comes up short in a few areas of the match. While a player can open apps in their own boxes with DeX, the POD lets you field six apps all running at once. This gives one a much bigger pitch to work with and way more screen real estate to spread out the attack.

In my opinion, another shortfall of DeX is storage. Using the PODs storage for movies and games instead of running my phone's precious storage ragged on the front line. This frees up roster space on my phone. And as we all are painfully aware, digital storage is costly.

And then there is the stamina issue. Running the phone’s OS like a midfielder trying to grind through a full game. With the phone os running, DeX trying to stretch the field into a full desktop, and powering the glasses is asking your battery to play every position at once. By halftime it's cramping up and hoping for dehydration breaks. Using the POD most definitely saves your phone’s battery.

Then there is also the AI 3D which is tough to get on phones. Getting 3D out of your phone is like asking a reserve goalie to also play striker. For us that is one of the main selling points. The POD enters the game strong, turning almost any movie, game, picture, app or even part of its OS into 3D. To be clear, the Fold 7 just doesn't have this in its playbook. Being able to game, look at pictures, and watch movies in 3D is a huge bonus point. It's like the kind of player worth buying the overpriced t-shirt for.

Then there is the referee no one asked for, the inevitable interruption when using your phone. Let's face it, as soon as the movie gets good or the production really starts flowing your mom's call comes whistling across the pitch like a major howler. Or worse, a spam text becomes a pitch invader popping up in the bottom right of your eyeballs. The POD allows you to play much smarter football (soccer in my woods). These intrusive invaders remain on your phone and you get to choose what gets to interrupt and let you stay in the game, so to speak..

So, is the POD worth the moolah? That call is up to you and your budget. As of this writing, INAIR has the POD on sale for $339.99 with a possible 20% off using the code pod20. Yea, you're welcome.

For us, it was worth the price of admission. We are die hard fans of 3D everything, season ticket holders for life. And it does save space on the phone for those embarrassing family photos. Battery saver, 3D, storage relief, the POD checked off every box on our team sheet. But if you don't want those features and have a ton of phone storage, maybe DeX is your tactical blueprint. No shame in playing a different formation. As for us, the POD is the better play and highly preferred over a phone / Dex.

Well tech fans, that's the final whistle but not quite the end of the game. Now it's your turn. Get in the game.The comment section is your pitch. We read every one of them. Don't just sit in the stands.Tell us which camp you fall in. Tell us what you like, don't like about the POD or what your setup looks like or if you've got any DeX and/or POD horror stories. As always, let us know of any formations or questions we didn't cover. Thank you for joining us. Be sure to tune in next week.

Hello and welcome, my fellow INAIR and Tech Enthusiasts! We are coming at you once again to deliver a package full of terrific tidbits about the one, the only, the INAIR POD. And with today's article, we bring you "INAIR POD,  traveling doesn't get much better!”

First off, let's talk footprint – and I'm not talking about the kind in the sand. Whether you're saddling up with the Go 2 Pack, the Elite Pack, or just tossing your gear in a saddlebag like a true drifter, the INAIR POD and glasses of your choice take up a lot less space than hauling a laptop, charger, and mouse like a stagecoach full of dead weight (we rode into town with the VITURE Beast). This setup doesn't need a wagon train – it packs light, and leaves the laptop crowd eating dust. According to ol' all knowing ranch hand Google, the INAIR 2 Go Pack in its travel case weighs in at about 1.25lbs (552 to 576 grams) and the retail packaging box measures about 2.7 x 2 x 10 inches (6.9 x 5.1 x 25.4 cm). That's lighter than a tin of beans and skinnier than a holster. We're talking about packing the POD, the glasses, a handful of cords, the Wakey, and a foldable keyboard into a space smaller than a pair of cowboy boots – and the whole rig weighs less than that 5lb belt buckle won at the rodeo. Shoot, you could probably stuff the whole durn rig into a cowboy boot if you tried hard enough. This rig travels lighter than a tumbleweed in a dust storm.

Now mosseying on over to productivity. In the productivity on the go arena, the INAIR POD just can't be beat. From wrangling with spreadsheets to document editing for reddit reviews to CAD to coding to taming an overflowing inbox to most any basic workflow you throw at it – this thing ropes 'em all in and hog-ties 'em before lunch.The productivity ecosystem has 3 main workhorses – multi-window / multi-tasking layout, remote desktop and privacy.

The multi-window layout varies greatly depending on your choice of AR glasses. It operates like a multi-monitor computer desk floating in mid-air with up to 6 windows simultaneously in a 3D environment. For our wagon train, riding with the VITURE Beast, you're looking at the virtual equivalent of up to a 174-inch display – big enough to make the side of a barn jealous. Throw in 3DoF (Three Degrees of Freedom) head tracking, anchor mode (your virtual window stays planted like a stubborn mule), and smooth follow (the window trails your head movements smoother than a tumbleweed riding the breeze) and you've got yourself a setup that knows how to stay put or stay with you, whichever the job calls for.

The remote desktop setup rounds up the Wakey and INAIR Space software to remotely wake up and control your PC. No need to ride all the way back to the homestead. The Wakey allows the INAIR POD to wake up your computer from sleep mode from anywhere in the world. With the INAIR Space software installed on your computer and the WayKey USB-C dongle plugged in, you've got complete access to your rig sitting home on the range. All while you're hundreds of miles away in a bunkhouse, parked in a coffee shop, or rocking on the front porch. Your computer still answers when you call it. However, for any heavy typing tasks, I'd suggest swapping in a full-sized keyboard. The small folding one ain't built for a long cattle drive. It's about as ergonomically comfortable as sitting in a saddle backwards, and it flat out demands a desk or table to do its business. Try using it on your lap and you'll have about as much luck as roping the wind. This may be better with the elite pack touchboard, but unfortunately,  we do not have that.

With the glasses, everything is in your face only, so privacy is almost an after thought. The visuals get beamed straight into your retinas, so folks sitting right next to you on an airplane, or right behind you riding double on the back of your horse, only see a pair of plain dark glass lenses. Nobody's peeking at your hand, partner. Your emails, your documents, your home movies – they stay locked up tighter than a bank vault in a one-horse town, privately yours and nobody else's business.

With the INAIR POD ecosystem you have a multi screen, multi task, remote desktop with built-in AI assisted power house that fits in your pocket. No mule required to haul it. Perfect for taking productivity down wherever your trail leads, whether that's across the county line or clear out to the edge of the map.

Well what about leisure? After all, all work and no play makes for a dull cowboy/cowgirl. Hi-ho Silver, the INAIR POD to the rescue! 

This pony's good for play too, not just plowing through spreadsheets. Like when you're stuck in a hotel room, or wherever your hat happens to be hanging for the night – bored as a cat watching paint dry. 

Most hotel TVs are locked down tighter than a bank safe in a one-horse town. Skip the hotel's tired cable package and bring your own saloon. Hook up an adapter off Amazon (one like this with power pass-through too: https://a.co/d/0fp5Y5fF) and you can plug your POD straight into that TV, turning it into a smart TV stocked with all your apps. That'll get you some movie time, or retro gaming through an app like RetroArch or any other emulation app. Better yet, ditch the obsolete TV and throw on your IMAX-like glasses. Remote play your Xbox or PlayStation using apps on your POD with Better XCloud or PxPlay with a Bluetooth controller. 

Riding down the trails don't get no better than when traveling with the INAIR POD. Red-eye flights – When the cabin lights go dark and everyone else is fighting a losing battle with a tiny seatback screen, you throw on the glasses and ride off into your own private drive-in. Layovers – Stuck in some airport ghost town for hours with nothing but overpriced coffee. Set up a full multi-monitor spread right there at the gate, knock out some work, then switch over to a movie when the boredom rides in. Road trip co-pilot duty – Passenger seat, not driving? Stream a show, knock out emails, or remote into the home rig and handle business while the miles roll by. Just don't go trying to wear the glasses while you're the one holding the reins. Camping with no signal – Out past where the cell towers give up, the POD don't care. Load up movies or games ahead of time and you've got yourself a private theater under the stars, no campfire ghost stories required (unless you want 'em).

What uses do you see when traveling with the POD? What are some of your pros and cons when traveling with the POD? What would you suggest? What's your favorite use for the POD? Feel free to leave your comments down in the corral below!

We want to thank you for ridin' along on this dive into traveling with the INAIR POD and how it can be useful and downright fun on the trail. We hope you enjoyed this review, and we'll see you at the next watering hole. Until then... happy trails, pilgrim.
