Can’t Get Enough Soldier Systems?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

In addition to our daily updates here on the site, there are several other ways to get your Soldier Systems fix. Don’t forget that we are a daily and normally update a minimum of twice per day so come back regularly to keep up on the latest news. If that isn’t enough, we offer several alternatives.

Twitter
Our list of followers on Twitter continues to grow. In addition to alerts of new stories we also release information through Twitter that might be of interest to our readers or is related to our core content but originates elsewhere.

Facebook
We launched our Facebook page awhile back and are jut beginning to make use of it. Dissatisfied with how we have seen some companies use their accounts we wanted to get in there with a plan to make the experience more meaningful. Look for lots of content soon.
Facebook.com

iPhone
Our iPhone app has been extremely popular and delivers the latest updates directly to your iPhone each time you open it.
iTunes

M4Carbine.net
M4Carbine.net has been most gracious in offering us a dedicated sub-forum to interact with our readers. Not only is it a great place to discuss our articles and current issues in the Soldier Systems industry but M4Carbine.net gives access to the best group of Subject Matter Experts we have run across. No over-inflated CVs, no BS, just good information. Military, Law Enforcement, or a fan of the Black Rifle? You should be a member of M4Carbine.net.

Youtube
We post videos for our articles on our Youtube channel. Additionally, we make use of content posted by others. Always be on the look out for more content.

Kindle
Subscriptions to SSD’s content are available for the Kindle via Amazon. Don’t forget there is a Kindle reader for iPhone and iPad.
Amazon.com

The Future
Here at SSD we continuously look at ways to increase interaction with our readers. One example is that we are ready to release an app for the Android. Additionally, some of our writers have begun to develop specialized content for other sites. For example, you may have seen the article on Environmental Clothing Systems on ADS Inc’s web site. You will also begin to see some of our stuff in print. We have also posted content from the Mad Duo and others.

Something very exciting is happening to SSD very soon. Once we get over this busy trade show season, a big change is coming.

One final word. None of this would be possible without the support of our sponsors. We have affiliated ourselves with reputable companies who provide solid products and services and we would not hesitate to recommend any of them. At SSD we look at our sponsorship program as a two-way street. We are endorsing them as much as they are us and we urge you to support them.

We are constantly improving our fighting position, so if you have any additional ideas on ways SSD can do more for you, please feel free to share them with us.

Things We Didn’t Write About

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Quite frankly, we just didn’t have time.

Gun Disassembly 3D for the iPhone
How Inmates Smuggle Cellphones into Prison
LWRC to License Production to Jordan
The $750 Travel Belt Yes, $750
Holster Mounting Bracket for Wheelchair Frames – Thanks to Tactical Wire for putting the word out on this.

Stuff We Didn’t Write About

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

We constantly run across interesting stuff but just can’t seem to find the time to write about it.

X170 Action Camera
Toy Company Develops Less-than-lethal Rifle
Air Force Puts 2nd Lt in Charge of Uniform Roadmap (Yes, this explains SO much)
The Gen 4 iPhone Saga
Free iPhone App – Adobe® Ideas 1.0 for iPhone

iPhone OS 4

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Right on the heals of releasing the iPad, Apple announced today that they will be releasing a new version of the iPhone operating system in June. As so many SSD followers rely on the iPhone for their mobile communications requirements, we thought it would be a good idea to update our readers.

Our favorite gizmo blog, Gizmodo has some excellent coverage. Here are some of the highlights.

The biggest improvement looks to be multi-tasking.
New mail app with support for multiple exchange servers, etc.
App folders and the max number of apps shoots from 180 to 2160.
Bluetooth keyboards!

Now the bad news. Users of the original 3G will not be able to fully upgrade to the new OS.
