Compact ipod Dock

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 17:39:00 +0000

Here we go again with another iPod dock. This compact curved CyrusLink LinkDock boasts 4 speaker units, touch sensitive volume keys, remote control of volume, treble and bass, iPod adapter, and line in and out. It features advanced Neodymium and alloy speaker technology as well as a built in amplifier.

It measures 11 x 21 x 10cm so is small enough to fit into luggage, and weighs just over half a kilogram. It does everything else a dock should do, charging and syncing your iPod.

It's actually been out for a little while, and received some decent reviews including a 5-star at What Hi-fi, who said "Quality, value and convenience - the CyrusLink iPod dock has them all. Plug in your player, and you're off."

It's priced at $95

new leather case for 2nd generation ipod from GizMac

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 13:37:00 +0000

Their marketing pitch says that "if you don't want to hide your iPod in a leather case or behind a colored silicone case, [then] TITAN Gear is for you!" Especially now that the new-gen iPod nano is a little more scratch resistant than its predecessor, you won't have to worry as much about marring its beautiful (now aluminium) casing, so a silicone case isn't quite as necessary.

TITAN Gear from GizMac Accessories comes as a four-piece set: a rotating belt clip, an adjustable arm band, a carabiner, and a lanyard, the latter two of which can either be oriented from the top or the bottom. The complete package can be yours for $25.Technorati Tags

Samsung six channel PDA phone.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:12:00 +0000

Samsung has announced a 1.9cm thick slider handset that not only packs in phone and PDA functionality, but also manages to squeeze in Wi-Fi, digital TV reception and 5.1-channel audio.

Samsung's calling the handset the FX, though it also goes by the model numbers SPH-M4500 and SCH-M450, depending on which South Korean carrier you buy it from. Whatever it's called, the phone's standout feature is the 2.4in colour screen. It has both a front-mounted VGA camera and a two megapixel unit on the back.

The handset provides all the usual call and media playback facilities, augmented by DMB digital TV reception and Wi-Fi for fast internet access in a suitable hotspot. Then there's the virtual 5.1 audio support, which the phone can mix into two channels for a better-sounding stereo experience, Samsung claimed. Music and movies can be stored on the phone's memory or on Micro SD cards.

Zune price equals ipod.....competition started..

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 01:57:00 +0000

Microsoft is to retail Zune, its first digital music player, at the same price as feature-equivalent iPods.

Microsoft today reveal a 30Gb Zune device will be priced $249.99 compared to a 30Gb iPod that is priced $249.00. Songs for Microsoft's player will start at just under a dollar - just like individual tracks on iTunes.

The only difference is you must use special Microsoft credits instead of actual money to purchase songs. Credits come in units of 80 that cost $1 and in a stroke of marketing genius one track will cost 79 credits. The alternative is to pay a $14.99 monthly subscription to the Zune service, which Microsoft promised will hold "millions" of songs.

Consumers will be invited to shell out between $19.99 and $99.99 for Zune accessories like AV cables and adaptors, cradles, dock, bags and "special" headphones.

Having matched Apple, Microsoft will make a loss on each Zune player sold. This is not the first time it has taken a loss on hardware -just ask the Xbox division.

Scott Erickson, who heads up Zune product marketing, justified the price by telling Reuters that Microsoft "needed to put a comparable price on Zune, even if it meant that the company will suffer a loss from the devices this holiday season."

With identical pricing, storage and video capabilities, Microsoft is gambling on Zune's ability to share music over a wireless connection to get an edge on Apple. Microsoft's price announcement came with the promise Zune is "putting the social into digital media."

If this is the sharing age, though, then the Zune makes Microsoft look like the Grinch. Zune users will get just three days in which to listen to other users' songs up to three times - that's it. Neither, will Zune play Microsoft-protected Windows Media audio or video purchased or rented from Napster, Rhapsody, Yahoo! and other online media services.

With a November 14 launch planned, Microsoft should be able to say it got a consumer product out in time for the Holidays.

why you should have zune...10 reasons...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 01:37:00 +0000

Following the controversy around Tuesday's Top 10 Reasons To Hate Zune, here's the promised second installment taking a more positive spin on Microsoft's multimedia device. Because hey, it's not all bad by any means. Zune is big news in the consumer gadgetry market, with Microsoft clearly hoping it'll do to Apple's iPod what they hope Xbox 360 will do to PlayStation 3. If that makes sense.

Anyway, here's ten reasons to roll out the bunting for Zune. And in the interests of fairness after Tuesday's Wi-Fi hoo-ha, one of them is entirely false. Enjoy.

1. Everybody loves an underdog. And let's face it, iPod could do with some competition. It's not as if the other manufacturers – including those licensing Microsoft's own platform - have made great inroads into Apple's market share. Healthy competition should spur even more innovation on both sides.

2. Mmm... widescreen. I'd rather watch movies on this baby, even if I have to turn it sideways to do it. Hopefully Microsoft will have some good deals with the movie studios by the time Zune launches.

3. Microsoft is smart. They launch, learn and improve. Remember the days when Xbox was just a big ole whirry box with rubbish games? And now look at Xbox 360. Whatever you think of the first-gen Zune, subsequent iterations will be better.

4. The brown Zune. Maybe all those people who said brown was The New Black had a point. And it does go nicely with my corduroy jacket...

5. It's got Wi-Fi. And yes, that means you can send full-length tracks, not 30-second samples like some fool the other day was claiming. People have been wishing Apple would bring out a Wi-Fi iPod for ages, but Microsoft got there first. Simply having it in Zune gives potential for all manner of cool features. Over-the-air downloads, streaming live TV, 64-person Minesweeper battles. It's all good.

6. Worthiness. For everybody who buys a Zune, Bill Gates effectively gets a few more dollars to spend on good causes. Which is better than giving Steve Jobs more moolah to spend on polo-necks.

7. Goblins. Zune is powered by little green goblins pedalling minature bicycles. Trust me, it is. And that's cool.

8. Good relations. Apple's negotiating tactics have rubbed the music industry up the wrong way, although it's too early to tell if the same is true of the movie studios. Microsoft could steal a march by going in as the good guy with these people. Especially if Bill leverages his multimillionaire contacts and calls up Paul McCartney. "So, about those Beatles albums that haven’t ever been sold digitally..."

9. The buttons look nice. Look, you can't look down on superficiality in this market.

10. The FM radio. Who'd listen to radio when they had their entire music collection to hand? Plenty of us. How else are we supposed to keep up with The Archers?

E-book reader from sony,,, PRS500

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 23:57:00 +0000

The Sony PRS500 e-book reader is the latest for those into the growing phenomenon of e-books. The screen carries a six-inch display with 160 DPI. This is more than enough to give any reader clarity of words without squinting.

Even though the reader does not have any color, it is capable of playing all sorts of text formats including RTF and PDF. It is very good at converting color items into Black and White or Grayscale items. A reader can bookmark his or her page with the "Mark" button, and then come back to it just like a regular book. Other controls are two sets of Page Up/Page Down triggers, as well as a line of numerical keypads that correspond to menu options.

You can save and replay files using a memory stick or SD card. The PRS500 reader can also save replicated images as JPEG files, and can even play audio files in MP3 and AAC format. A reader is able to charge from a USB port for six hours or a power adaptor for four hours. A full charge is good enough for up to 7,000 pages worth of reading, but it will drain faster when it comes to audio files.

If that isn't enough to make you rush out and buy this device, here's another motivation: it donates money to a good cause. That's right, Sony Electronics has stated that for every e-Book reader sold through October at SonyStyle and otheronline shopping web sites, $10 dollars will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). Apparently, Sony found out that most of their e-book readers were purchased by women, who are avid supporters of BCRF.

The device should retail for about $350 and includes $50 worth of material from Sony CONNECT, an online store where you can purchase e-books. On the site is about 10,000 books all available from publishers worldwide.

Slimmest LCD for mobile.....LG Philips

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 23:12:00 +0000

Phones keep getting thinner and thinner, so it makes sense that screens need to be thinner, to. LG Philips has unveiled what they are calling the world's slimmest LCD screen for cellphones.

It measures just 1.3 mm, which is 32% slimmer than the thinnest current TFT-LCD screens, and is even 0.2 mm thinner than OLEDs, which are known for their small size. It's brighter, too - 400 nits as opposed to 300. The current smallest phone is the Samsung SGH-X820 at 6.9 mm, but this could change that race again.

Skype will take time to be on mobile....CEO

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 22:53:00 +0000

Outside applications like Fring let you access Skype on your mobile phone, but we will have to wait a while to get an actual mobile version of Skype, according to the company's CEO. He says that there are more technical obstacles than they expected when they started developing a mobile version, and it is taking longer than they planned. He was not willing to give a timeline for completion of the development. It was expected to be available last year, and there is already a version available for some Windows based phones, but a Symbian version could be a while.

Nokia Xpress's music through there music phones...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 01:47:00 +0000

Nokia has launched its anticipated XpressMusic handset line, rolling out three similarly styled handsets, including a revival of its 3250 twist phone.

The XpressMusic line-up also comprises the 5200 and 5300, both slider phones of the same design. All three are aimed at "young and sociable" consumers, the Finnish phone giant said. All three sport 3.5mm earphone-jack sockets to allow phone owners to use any earphones or external speakers. The handsets also have dedicated music playback keys.

The 5300 comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera and can take Micro SD cards for music storage. Tracks are transferred from a PC via a USB 2.0 port. Over-the-air downloads are supported too.

Nokia said it expects the 5300 to retail for around $318 before taxes and network subsidies. The 5200 - a lesser spec'd version of the 5300 - should cost $254. The 3250 will be priced at around $508, Nokia said.

7.1Megapixel Camera IXUS i7 from canon...remote controlled

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 01:25:00 +0000

Canon's newest camera, the IXUS i7, is literally changing the face of digital cameras. The 7.1 Megapixel CCD camera has a 2.4x optical zoom and 1.8 inch LCD Screen. The metal-clad camera is designed for compact use, like a pocket or small bag. It also comes in four different colors including steel gray, denim blue, dark brown, and sizzling pink.

Canon's Face Detection AF/AE system is connected to the Digital IXUS i7 zoom in order to make people's faces be clearer than ever with its Auto Focus and Auto Exposure. This process can automatically detect the faces of nine subjects within a frame and adjusts for a clearer, sharper picture. The camera automatically fills in the flash for strong backlighting by adjusting the exposure on the individual faces. This makes the camera ideal for parties and group photos.

Another feature is the Safety Zoom, designed to give maximum zoom magnification in shooting smaller size image without the reduced image quality. It also features 17 different shooting modes, as well as special scenes and movie modes.

Image management is handled with a special program called My Category, a method of cataloguing the shots by people, scenery, or event. These categories can be customized, but they also can be automatic, depending on the shooting mode and face detection activation. Also, the one-touch direct printing is easily managed with the camera's Print/Share button that also acts as the shutter release. The Intelligent Orientation Sensor can automatically rotate any vertically shot photo and adjust them for the correct playback on LCD, TV, or PC.

The IXUS i7 also comes complete with a docking station that is useful as a base for printing out images. It can also use image transfer technology to beam straight into your television. The included remote control also gives you more power to select an image, or create a slideshow.

The Canon IXUS i7 should be available in October 2006, at about $470 USD.

Zing music player goes WIFI....share ur music....

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 23:16:00 +0000

The next big thing in the portable music player market appears to be WiFi connectivity, with the Sirius Stiletto and Microsoft Zune both packing wireless capabilities. While not yet officially announced, the Zing Music Player is attacking the same market as the Stiletto. It's smaller than its competitor, but still uses WiFi to download internet radio and Sirius. The downer is that it doesn't have an integrated satellite receiver of its own.

The navigational wheel is eerily reminiscent of Apple, but it doesn't have that cool touch wheel interface. The editors at Gizmodo were particularly impressed with the menu system, however, when they had a chance to fiddle with the Zing at DEMO.

The read-write speeds are an impressive 20 megabytes a second, part of the overall philosophy behind the Extreme III lineup, which the company says is the most advanced NAND scheme in the business.

Both models will be shipping by the end of the year, in CompactFlash, SD card, and Memory Stick PRO Duo formats.

10 reasons for hating Microsoft Zune

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 03:11:00 +0000

It was the consumer technology industry's worst kept secret for months. It was supposedly Microsoft's iPod-killer. And now Zune has been unveiled, the reaction has been... decidedly mixed. Which appears to make it the marmite of the personal media player world. And while there are plenty of bloggers and IT hacks out there who are always happy to be rude about Microsoft, it does seem there are some legitimate criticisms of the new device.

With that in mind, here's Tech Digest's 10 Reasons To Hate Zune. Don't worry, we'll have 10 Reasons To Love Zune on Thursday. Stick the boot in, then cuddle up. It's called tough love. Anyway, on with the kicking.

1. Only 30GB of storage space. With Apple having just released an 80GB iPod, Microsoft comes across as a little bit stingy. How are we going to fit our 50GB of illegally downloaded Hollywood blockbusters onto it?

2. Name ambiguity. Do I pronounce it Zyoon or Zoon? Until someone gives me a definitive answer, I'm sure as hell not walking into Currys to be patronised by some twerp who can't wait to correct me.

3. Who wants Wi-Fi sharing anyway? Especially when it's 30-second song samples, and only of stuff you've bought from the official Zune store. I don't want to spend every bus journey fending off requests from kids who want to send me their latest Lady Sovereign mash-up.

4. The brown Zune. I mean, brown. Jesus.

5. Another closed ecoysystem. So let me get this straight, will the songs I buy from the Zune store work if I buy another MP3 player in the future? Or will I have to buy them for the third time, having already repurchased all the ones I already got on iTunes?

6. Wot no games? I thought this was supposed to be Xbox in the palm of your hand. Swizz! Yes, I know this may be the rumourmongers' fault rather than Microsoft's. But still.

7. It's not that stylish. And if this is supposed to be an iPod-slayer, isn't it duty-bound to look nice? I'm not saying it's ugly, but [insert yo' momma joke here]...

8. It won't work on Macs. Hello Microsoft, us Mac-owners aren't all lap dogs of the Jobs Empire, y'know. Some of us might've quite fancied buying a Zune, but apparently it won't support Macs at launch, and the Zune Marketplace will be Windows-only too. Cheers for that.

9. It won't work with Napster. Or, indeed, any digital music store that uses Microsoft's own Plays For Sure DRM platform. D'oh!

10. They're being a bit shifty about Zune's battery life. This could mean it runs out of juice in 10 minutes unless used with the screen off and at 10% volume. Or it could mean it ships with futuristic fuel-cell batteries powered by rechargeable goblins, I suppose.

No one has confirmed that the iPhone actually exists or is in development yet, but that doesn't stop the rumors from flying around.

The latest report, according to Think Secret, is that the iPhone will launch in January as a Cingular exclusive. According to the report, Cingular will have an exclusive agreement in North America which would last until the middle of the year. Apple is reportedly also in negotiations with European carriers. Remember, though, that this should all be taken with a gigantic grain of salt, since Apple rumors are so rarely accurate.

Skype and google talk for symbian series from Fring

Fring is a new application which can let you use Skype or Google Talk in full form on your mobile phone without the need for additional hardware or a PC. It's apparently very simple to install, so you can quickly chat, call or Skype Out. It's free to use, besides the data charges, of course. It only works with Symbian Series 60 right now, but it is still in Beta, so it will likely expand it usefulness as time passes.

Nokia N95 on hype with lot of features...5 Mega Pixel Camera

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 00:35:00 +0000

The Nokia N-series is being touted not as high-end cell phones, but rather as portable multimedia computers. With a spec sheet that reads like this, the N95 may be one of the best multimedia computers out there (at least those that can fit in your hand). They've mated an attractive dual-slider design with a knock-your-socks-off feature set that will have you drooling for hours on end.

Not only does it have an incredible 5 megapixel camera on board, but it'll also throws down a full 150MB of internal memory, microSD expansion, integrated GPS, 802.11g WiFi, Bluetooth A2DP, HSDPA, a media player (naturally), and a 3.5mm audio jack for good measure. It won't be the cheapest handset out there when it drops in Q1 2007, but at 550 Euros (US$700), it's not the most expensive either.
