The Orlando Magic and Verizon Announce Partnership Extension with Total by Verizon

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic announced today the extension of its partnership with Verizon as the official and exclusive wireless telecommunications and 5G partner for the team. This multiyear partnership now integrates Total by Verizon, the new prepaid wireless brand running on America’s most reliable 5G network*. The partnership marks Total by Verizon's first official team sponsorship, as the brand looks to expand in Orlando and the surrounding areas.

"The Orlando Magic are thrilled to continue its partnership with Verizon and introduce Total by Verizon. Keeping the incredible network of Verizon in our global partnership family was very important to us," said Sr. Vice President of Global Partnerships J.T. McWalters. "As the Magic look to continue innovating and offering fans the most legendary experiences, Verizon continues to play a large part in what we can accomplish from a technology perspective. We look forward to working together to bring a heightened connected experience to our fans when they’re in the Kia Center.”

A fast-growing retail brand opening new locations in urban markets across America, with Orlando being the latest expansion market, Total by Verizon features a broad lineup of devices, generous benefits and no-contract service plans for both single-line accounts and families for as low as $25 a line per month for unlimited 5G data. Perks on select plans include unlimited calling to five countries of your choice, Disney+, access to 5G Ultra Wideband, and generous hotspot allocations.

Several fan engagement opportunities are made possible by Verizon’s 5G connectivity within the Magic’s Kia Center. Total by Verizon will continue to enhance the fan experience in multiple ways:

  • Highlighting a new in-game technology that allows fans to display photos and videos on the center-hung videoboard and on TVs throughout the arena.
  • Providing technology that allows fans the opportunity to stream video directly from their phone to the center-hung. Not only fans attending Magic games can participate, fans watching on NBA League Pass will also have the ability to submit or stream from wherever they are watching.
  • The partnership will also include in-arena signage during all Magic home games and other brand integration.

Total by Verizon will also be the presenting sponsor of the Magic mobile app. Other partnership highlights include integration on the Magic’s social media platforms with player content pieces including the Mic’d Up series with sound from players mic’d up in-game. In addition, as part of the Magic’s 35 th anniversary season celebration, Total by Verizon will be featured on the Magic Evolution series featuring conversations between Magic legends and current players.

“The Magic is all about heart and hustle, and that’s exactly who our brand was created for – the hard workers who go the extra mile in everything they do to win,” said Angie Klein, President of the Verizon Value organization. “We’re committed to Orlando and ready to meet its value conscious consumers where they are with the savings they need at our new exclusive store locations throughout the city.”

Verizon technology is currently integrated into the AdventHealth Training Center. The 130,000-square-foot facility is the practice and training home to the Orlando Magic with Verizon continuing to cover all of its wireless telecommunication needs. The new downtown, state-of-the-art training center for the Magic team is also a destination sports medicine center to Central Florida.

Magic wireless memphis photos

Probably a dumb question, but can we use the newer, wireless printers (all in one) in the wireless mode, in our RV's without a router connected to a land line?

I use the Verizon air Card about 85% of the time (WiFi for the rest) for internet service.

These printers are "cool" and they could be located in a cubby hole away from the computer. If they can be used successfully, I would locate it under the steering wheel.

Can you "scan" material back to the computer via the 802 b,g,n functions. I have called HP and written questions to them about this and I give up- . Their service on the phone is terrible, lousy connections, a language barrier and poor knowledge of their products.

My neighbor is using Sprint Internet with a sprint modem & router. He has a wireless all in one printer that is not connected to the router which he claims works great. For the life of me, I cannot remember the brand right now, I do know that he bought it for about $50 before the holidays through a pretty good promotion. If you are interested, I will ask him what the brand is. He has three different laptops communicating to the router and to the printer. His wife's, his daughter's and his laptop.

I have a HP PSC 2510 which I have had for some years now. I had it attached to a wireless router and it would work just OK. I think the HP drivers for that model weren't the greatest. However maybe the newer models are working better.

Yes, you can use a wireless all-in-one printer without a router. All functions will work except for the fax function which will work if hooked up to a fax line via either your cell or land line. I have also heard of people using the fax function without a phone line using a Magic Jac through the computer. To use the Magic Jac in the fax mode, you have to slow the fax transmission to the slowest speed.

Make sure in fact you do get a wireless printer and that if it requires a printer cable to install the printer in the wireless mode, that it either comes with, or you have the appropriate printer cable.

I have found that I do not need the fax function nor the scan function. I have a very good cell phone with a camera. I take a photo of what I want and e-mail it to myself then download it and save it as either a photo file (jpeg, etc.) or a PDF file. The print only printers are smaller, cheaper and more reliable than the all-in-ones.

It sounds like I can do it with the Verizon card for internet access.

These printers are really cool and they are practically giving them away. I guess they make their money on the ink cartridges. Best Buy had a $129 Epson wireless, all in one, printer for $69.

I would still like to hear from someone who has one in use in an RV, using a Verizon, ATT, etc air card, without using a router in the system at all. The salesman at Best Buy said I would definitely need a router, especially to scan material back to the computer.

I sure can relate to your remarks on HP support service. it just doesn't exist. I dumped my HP printer for and Epson and have had great service.. The Epson all in one is a real performer. I do not use as a wireless system however.

You can print to a wireless printer without a router.

My tow vehicle is a class C Forest River MB Cruiser. It is used as a mobile office as I travel around the country working insurance claims. I print every thing wireless without a router.

I have owned dozens of HP's and a few Epsons. The HP is the best choice for several reasons. The epsons will not stand up to the heavy duty use I require. Each day I print dozens of estimates and reports and 100's of photos in the MB Cruiser.

The ink cost is less with the HP's if you purchase a model that uses 4 separate ink cartidges rather than one black and one tri-color. The 4 separate cartidge models are sometimes labeled as business inkjets.

The HP has a wizard that walks you though the installation of a ad-hoc network which is required without a router. It also comes with very good written instructions.

With this ad hoc network I can work inside a home and then print to the MB Cruiser if I am closer than 150 feet.

Mike, Richard and Jim--

Thanks for the info, I sure appreciate it.

I'm off and running now for the smallest, multi-function, wireless, printer I can find. It will probably have the tri-color cartridges since I don't use it a whole lot.

My wife just found the USA daily crossword puzzle and we can print it off their web site for free- I guess we'll use it at least 5 times a week .

I'm glad to hear I can also use the "scan" function.

If you can find one, get one that will allow you to continue to print even if the color cartridges are low. It is a great feature for someone that seldom uses color. Then set your printer to print for gray scale only. This will save you a lot on ink costs over the life of the printer.

Also, if you do not need the fax, there are multi-function printer, copy and scan machines that do not have the fax function, they tend to have a little smaller footprint and are usually less expensive.

Just went through this process for a friend today. He bought a wireless printer and a laptop. The laptop has no modem and uses Wifi. He is on dial-up at home and goes to Wifi hotspots for downloads. When I went to hook up the wireless printer through the HP wozard, it did not work and stated NETWORK NOT FOUND. I discovered that before you hook up the printer, you need to use the network search icon on the lower right of the task bar. It should pull up the printer's Wifi as the printer send out a radio signal. When you select the printer Wifi and then use the HP woizard, it should connect. As a note, every time you startup the computer, you need to reconnect to the printer Wifi by selecting it.
HP should have included connecting to the printer Wifi in the wizard process. Also, some wireless printers need to have the Wifi radio signal turned on using the touch screen menus. HP has them turned on automatically and you can tell if it is on when the blue light illuminates in front of the printer.

We've had spotty luck with wireless printers and worse luck with HP. We even got a HP wireless print server to try to use with our HP printer (not the cheapest model) and after messing for a week, HP finally admitted that the printer wouldn't work with their own server. Go figure.

I finally settled on a Canon iP100 set up with a Bluetooth connection. The printer has a footprint of less than a sheet of paper, prints well and stores completely closed. The bluetooth connection required a USB plug in that protrudes about 1/2 inch from the computer and a small chip inside the printer. So far it's the best setup I've been able to come up with and it works with other bluetooth computers as well so no issues with DW's laptop.

Thanks for all the advice.

I ended up buying a Brother. I especially liked the compact style. The model I found was the MFC-495cw. It has the four seperate ink cartridges. It prints and scans wirelessly, beautifully! The price was certainly right also. With an online coupon it cost $89- total! I ordered it at 2PM last Friday and UPS rolled up to our rig with the printer at 5PM Monday. No sales tax and no freight costs.

Setting it up was another story. I spent 12 hours trying to get the Wi-Fi to work, got a terrible headache and finally called "Brother" for help. A lady in Memphis (thank god for that) had me up and running in 10 minutes. NO ROUTER required! I was following the printed instructions in the furnished "quick setup guide" and the "install CD". That was a big mistake. I didn't need an "Ad Hoc" network. It ended up being quite a simple process. I guess they get easier to install, and use, as new models come out.

Since I use the Verizon Air Card for the internet connection, it leaves the wireless 802.11b/g network dedicated to the printer- beautiful!! Just check that the wireless connection is on the "Brother" printer when getting ready to use the printer/scanner. Sometimes the Wi-Fi will, unknowingly to me, grab a close by "Hot Spot".
If you are using Wi-Fi for your internet connection, I guess you would have to download what you want to print out, onto your computer and then switch the Wi-Fi to the "Brother" to print it out and visa versa to scan something and then send it out over the Wi-Fi internet connection.

The unit goes into a "sleep" mode if not used for about 5 minutes, but springs into action when it gets the "print" command- Neat!

The print quality is beautiful. So far, I couldn't be happier.

This is an update--

I've used the new Brother printer in the AdHoc mode (no router required) everyday for the past several months. It's wonderful- I can "scan" back to the computer for transmitting documents into a folder and then on to wherever. I was going nuts for the price they want for ink cartridges- it has 4 color cartridges. They sell for almost $30 a piece (with tax) at places like Offices Depot, Staples. Forget it! I can buy 10 altogether, 4 black and 2 each of the other three colors, for $20 on line, made in China. They work great. the quality of copies is outstanding.

I find brother customer service also outstanding.

I ordered mine on a Thursday night and it was delivered by UPS on Monday morning- no taxes or shipping cost. It was on sale for $89 at that time. My neighbor at the time in Mississippi also ordered one- she loves hers too!

I used mine from inside the stick home to the RV in the second driveway, about 100ft, several times. Finally I got tired of running out to the RV and brought it into the house. I liked the small size of this unit and how streamlined it is.

As mentioned above, I find that everytime I shut down the computer and printer I must always Re-connect the wireless network to each other (computer to printer) on start up.

For under a hundred bucks you can't go wrong.

The best tablets for 2024

CBS Essentials is created independently of the CBS News editorial staff. We may receive commissions from some links to products on this page. Promotions are subject to availability and retailer terms.

Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft

Tablets are great for enhancing productivity, staying organized, getting work done on the go, or keeping you entertained. With a tablet, you get a larger touchscreen than a smartphone, but a device that's smaller, lighter and easier to hold than a typical laptop. Many of the latest tablets, including most of our top picks, can also be used for word processing, number crunching with spreadsheets, editing photos or videos and high-performance gaming.

We recommend a tablet powered by the same operating system you're already using. So if you're already heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, choose an iPad. If you use an Android-based smartphone, stick with an Android tablet. Or, if you rely on a Windows PC or laptop, consider a tablet that also runs Windows, or that makes it super easy to sync content between your tablet, other mobile devices and computer.

In her practice, Mary Bell uses plants and herbs as the main tools for her spells and rituals. She believes that every plant possesses its own unique energy and properties, which can be harnessed for various magical purposes. By carefully selecting and combining different botanical ingredients, she is able to create powerful potions, charms, and spells.

The five best tablets for 2024

Our team of in-house consumer technology experts has done some extensive hands-on testing, along with plenty of research, to curate this roundup of the best tablets. Sure, there's always new tablet tech, but the tablets we've picked are available right now. Almost all of them are customizable and come in a variety of hardware configurations.

  • Best Apple iPad tablet overall: 12.9" Apple iPad Pro
  • Best Android tablet overall: Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
  • Best Apple iPad for everyday use: 11" Apple iPad Pro
  • Best Android tablet for most people: Google Pixel Tablet
  • Best Windows tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro 9

Beyond these picks, if you're looking specifically for an Apple iPad, Android-based tablet , a low-cost entry-level tablet, a tablet specifically for streaming music or video , or a tablet for a child , we've got you covered on these fronts as well, so be sure to check out all of our tablet-related coverage.

Best Apple iPad tablet overall: 12.9" Apple iPad Pro (6th Generation)

Apple

Display Size: 12.9-inch touchscreen | Display Resolution: 2,732 x 2,048 pixels | Display Type: Liquid Retina XDR | Processor: Apple M2 | Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB | Average Battery Life: Up to 10 hours | Operating System: iPadOS 17 (or later) | Dimensions: 11.04 x 8.46 x 0.25 inches | Weight: 1.5 pounds | Port: USB Type-C | Stylus Included: Apple Pencil 2nd Generation (Optional) | Keyboard/Cover Included: Apple Magic Keyboard or cover (optional)

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is Apple's most powerful tablet. It's powered using the company's proprietary M2 processor and features a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display. At the time of purchase, you choose how much internal storage you want. We recommend the 256GB or 512GB option, unless you have high-end needs that require a tremendous amount of storage. In this case, consider the 1TB or 2TB options.

Like all iPads, this one runs iPadOS 17 (or later) and it comes with a generous selection of preinstalled apps used to handle many common tasks. You also get access to the App Store, with its millions of optional apps.

The iPad Pro offers a large touchscreen display, and a lot of customizable features. It works seamlessly with iCloud, so app-specific data, as well as document and other files will sync with your other Apple gadgets. The optional Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) stylus and Apple Magic Keyboard can boost your productivity.

And for tablet users who need that extra boost of processing power -- for, say, video editing or high-performance gaming -- this is the iPad we recommend.

At the time of purchase, you can choose between a Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi and cellular configuration; select the amount of internal storage; and choose between a silver or space gray casing. Other things we really like about the iPad Pro: A four-speaker sound system that supports spatial audio; high-quality front and rear cameras; and a Face ID feature that unlocks the device and approves online purchases.

Best Android tablet overall: Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra

Samsung

Display Size: 14.6-inch touchscreen | Display Resolution: 2,960 x 1,848 pixels | Display Type: Dynamic AMOLED 2x | Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | Storage: 256GB, 512GB or 1TB | Average Battery Life: Up to 16 hours | Operating System: Android 13 | Dimensions: 12.85 x 8.21 x 0.21 inches | Weight: 1.61 ounces | Port: USB Type-C | Stylus Included: Yes, Samsung S Pen | Keyboard/Cover Included: Optional

For a power user looking for an advanced, feature-packed and fast Android tablet, it's the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra that you're looking for. Between its stunning 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, powerful processor, up to 1TB of internal storage and long battery life, this tablet can handle advanced tasks that require a lot of power.

The bright, colorful and detailed display, combined with the tablet's quad speaker system (that supports Dolby Atmos) makes video, graphics or audio look and sound incredible. You get a Samsung S Pen stylus, so you can handwrite or draw directly on the screen, as well as annotate files.

The tablet runs the latest version of Android, providing advanced functionality that other tablets simply can't replicate. We also love that this is one of the few tablets that's IP68 rated for water and dust resistance. The housing uses Armor Aluminum, which also makes it considerably more durable than most.

The Tab S9 Ultra is nicely equipped with two, 12MP front-facing cameras (with a wide and ultra-wide FOV). On the back, you get a 13MP wide camera that's accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Another great feature is that the tablet supports Wi-Fi 6E, so you'll get the fastest wireless connection speeds possible. Basically, the Tab S9 Ultra is among the most powerful tablets currently. period. It's also lightweight and extremely thin. And of course, it works seamlessly with other Samsung Galaxy mobile devices.

Best Apple iPad for everyday use: 11" Apple iPad Pro (4th Generation)

Walmart

Display Size: 11-inch touchscreen | Display Resolution: 2,388 x 1,668 pixels | Display Type: Liquid Retina | Processor: Apple M2 | Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB | Average Battery Life: Up to 10 hours | Operating System: iPadOS 17 (or later) | Dimensions: 9.74 x 7.02 0 x0.23 inches | Weight: 1.03 pounds | Port: USB Type-C | Stylus Included: Apple Pencil 2nd Generation (Optional) | Keyboard/Cover Included: Apple Magic Keyboard or cover (optional)

The 11-inch iPad Pro is just about as powerful and versatile as the 12.9-inch model, but you get a smaller screen and a slightly more compact design. Which option you should choose is a matter of preference, based on what you'll be using the tablet for and how large of a display you want at your disposal.

If you're someone who appreciates the iPad's ability to run two apps side-by-side, the slightly larger display of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro gives you a bit more on-screen real estate. But for users who typically hold the tablet for extended periods (when reading an e-book, for example), this slightly smaller and lighter version may be more appealing.

The 11-inch iPad Pro runs the latest version of iPadOS and comes with the same pre-installed apps as other models. And this model takes full advantage of Apple's M2 processor, so it can handle higher-end tasks. The Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) stylus and Apple Magic Keyboard are sold separately and can boost your productivity, whether you want to handwrite on the screen or touch type with greater speed and accuracy. This version of the iPad Pro also comes in a Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi + cellular configuration.

At the time of purchase, choose how much internal storage the device will have (between 128GB and 2TB). It can't be upgraded later. Like all iPads, this one relies heavily on internet connectivity and Apple's iCloud service. It interacts seamlessly with all of Apple's other online services -- from Apple Music and Apple Arcade, to Apple Fitness+ and AppleTV+.

Best Android tablet for most people: Google Pixel Tablet

Amazon

Display Size: 10.95-inch touchscreen | Display Resolution: 2,560 x 1,600 pixels | Display Type: LCD | Processor: Google Tensor G2 with Titan M2 security coprocessor | Storage: 128GB or 256GB | Average Battery Life: Up to 12 hours | Operating System: Android | Dimensions: 10.2 x 6.7 x 0.3 inches | Weight: 17.39 ounces | Port: USB Type-C | Stylus Included: No, but works with any USI 2.0 compatible stylus (optional) | Keyboard/Cover Included: Optional

The Google Pixel Tablet is a top Android tablet pick. It's designed by Google and it makes full use of the Android OS (which the company also created). This makes the tablet very customizable, and it gives you access to all of the apps on the Google Play Store. It also works seamlessly with all of Google's own apps and cloud-based services. Right now of the box, you get access to Google Chrome, Gmail, the Google Workplace apps, YouTube and other apps.

What sets the Google Pixel Tablet apart is that it also comes with a unique charging speaker dock. When the tablet is connected, the battery charges -- and the dock transforms into a fully functional home hub -- complete with Google Assistant. This means you get access to all of the functions of a Google Nest Hub Max.

Of course, the Pixel Tablet is also compatible with any USI 2.0 stylus and Bluetooth keyboard. This makes the tablet an ideal productivity tool. But it can just as easily be used for streaming TV shows, movies, music, podcasts or audiobooks; playing games; reading e-books; or web surfing. Google has packed a lot of functionality into a full-featured, Android-based tablet that costs about half of what comparable tablets cost, which makes it a really good value.

Best Windows tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro 9

Microsoft

Display Size: 13-inch touchscreen | Display Resolution: 2,880 x 1,920 pixels | Display Type: PixelSense Flow | Processor: 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U (CPU), but other options are available; Intel Iris Xe (GPU) | Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB | Average Battery Life: Up to 15.5 hours | Operating System: Windows 11 | Dimensions: 11.3 x 8.2 0.037 inches | Weight: 1.94 pounds | Port: 2x USB Type-C, Surface Connect port, Surface Type Cover port | Stylus Included: Optional | Keyboard/Cover Included: Optional

The most compelling reason to invest in the feature-packed Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is that it runs Windows 11. For people who already use Windows, having a compatible tablet is pretty compelling.

The Surface Pro 9 is on the lower end of Microsoft's Surface lineup, which includes tablets, laptop computers and two-in-one devices. When you combine this tablet with an optional keyboard and stylus, it will perform almost the same collection of tasks as a Windows computer.

For wireless connectivity, the Surface Pro 9 supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1 tech. You also get a 5G cellular connectivity option. Among the selection of preinstalled apps, you get Microsoft Edge, plus 30-day trials for Microsoft 365 Family and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

As you'd expect, this tablet also has stereo speakers that support Dolby Atmos. The touchscreen has a refresh rate up to 120Hz and for security, the Surface Pro 9 supports Microsoft's Windows Hello sign-in feature. The front-facing camera offers 1080p resolution, which is great for video calling, while the rear camera gives you 10MP resolution. Overall, this is a nicely equipped tablet that offers a really good value for the investment, as well as plenty of expandability and customization options. And if you're already a Windows user, the learning curve for this tablet is short.

Reviews for "Connecting with Nature: A Botanical Witch's Guide to Grounding and Centering, by Mary Bell"

- John Doe - 2 stars - I found "Botanical witch mary bell" to be quite underwhelming. The story felt disjointed and lacked a clear direction. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard to connect with them or care about their journey. Additionally, the writing style was confusing and overly descriptive, making it difficult to follow along. Overall, I was disappointed by this book and would not recommend it to others.
