iPod: The Missing Manual By J D Biersdorfer J.D.

Get the scoop on iTunes 9 and all of the newest iPods with this bestselling Missing Manual. Apple's gotten the world hooked on portable music, pictures, and videos with its amazing entertainment center, but one thing they haven't delivered is an easy guide for getting the most from it. iPod: The Missing Manual gives you a no-nonsense view of the latest iPod line, with expert guidance on the most useful things your iPod can do.

Get a Birds-Eye Look at Your Collection With Grid View
Although it’s been around since iTunes 8, Grid View is still probably the most eye-catching way to see your media library. It’s like laying out all your albums on the living room floor—great for seeing everything you’ve got, without the hassle of having to pick it all back up. More picturesque than List View and not quite as moving as Cover Flow, Grid View is the middle road to discovering (or rediscovering) what’s in your iTunes library.
iTunes offers four ways to see your collection: grouped by album, artist, genre, or composer. Click each named tab to see the music sorted by that category. (If you don’t see the tabs, choose View-->Grid View-->Show Header.) Here’s how to work the Grid:

1) Hover your mouse over any tile on the grid to get a clickable Play icon that lets you start listening to the music.
2) Double-click a cover in Albums view to display both the cover and song titles in List View.
3) If you have multiple albums under the Artists, Genres, or Composers tabs, hover your mouse over each tile to rotate through the album covers. If you want to represent the group using a particular album cover or piece of art, right-click it and choose Set Default Grid Artwork. You can do the opposite for art you don’t want to see: right-click it and choose Clear Default Grid Artwork.
4) Adjust the size of the covers and art by dragging the slider at the top of the window.
One thing about Grid View, though: It’s pretty darn depressing unless you have artwork on just about everything in your collection. (If you don’t, and you see far too many generic musical-note icons there, Chapter 5 shows you how to art things up.) And if you hate Grid View, don’t use it—iTunes just defaults to whatever view you were using the last time you quit the program. About the Author

Sony Ericsson W960 Unlocked Triband 8GB WiFi Phone

Sony Ericsson W960 Unlocked Triband 8GB WiFi Phone (Black)

My previous phone was a W810i. That phone had a host of features and amazing interface, great camera, great earphones and an overall excellent value for money. I was sold to Sony Ericsson then and thought no Nokia for me again. I even picked this phone over the Iphone. I have always been the guy who goes for the mid-expensive phones because I lead a mid-expensive life and I know that doesn't make sense so I'll cut it but some of you might get the picture. But something changed and I wanted a phone which would knock dead the usual. I didn't go for the iphone because it's just too popular and everyone in the world is soon going to have it. After 40 days of poking around, I decided to go with my gut instinct and got this little fellow. The W960i stands out because noone has the phone. Not many people know about it and there are little or no advertising. The only place I could find sufficient info on this was C_net and U_tube.

Features -

1. Touch screen enabled device
2. WLAN (upto 384 kbps)
3. 8GB inbuilt hard drive
4. Supposedly adequate RAM or memory for the phone
5. Bundled earphones, various schemes for playlists such as moods, most played, highest rated,etc.
6. Outstanding record/log of calls made in the last 50 days
7. Unlimited number of messages
8. Decent keypad with good text prediction/well tuned software
9. PDF/Card Reader Scanner/Mediocre flash

Pros
1. The touch screen doesn't take much time to get used to. It took me roughly five days to major it and now everytime I hold a non-touchscreen phone or cordless phone, I feel a little strange.

2. Impressive call-logging data. The phone actually managed to maintain records of the last fifty days worth of entry. However it does get difficult to store phone numbers from new callers because that's when the 960i shows it's moodswings

3. Very good sound when listening to it without earphones. Just aptly loud even though the interface is generally sluggish.

4. There is 1 + 1 stylus that come with the phone. Don't play too much hockey with the stylus though. After a while your fingers will be just right to move around and you won't need the stylus except when you're using complex playlist options.

5. trackid is an amazing feature. If you're in a pub and want to know what track is playing, trackid (software name) will record a 6 second sample and send it to the universal server and you will get to know the name of the track,artist and album within a minute (at the most) This is amazing and my friends think this is the sole reason I got the W960i and that is only because they find it so uber cool.

6. Tactile feel and very good build quality though the touchscreen gets ruined without the not included plastic cover/sticker. Exceptionally good build quality.

7. While the 3.2 megapixel camera is quite a disappointment, the zoom no longer ruins the photograph as much. Improved zoom.

8. Wireless works even though the browser is corrupt and buggy.

9. Big fonts when typing a message

10. Ear volume is satisfactory and the phone catches signals well. It is also light to carry.

11. trackid - This phone has trackid. If a song is playing around you and you wish to know the name, trackid allows you to record a sample, within a few seconds of the sample being sent, you will get the name of the song. It all takes much less than a minute.

Cons

1. Most lacklusture ensemble of menu, shortcuts and files
2. Doesn't come with mp4 playback software which means no videos. It still records in gp3 and though the videos were of good quality, video playback software (divx) was very buggy on this phone and never worked for me.
3. Where is the torch? I miss it.
4. Battery life has dismal written all over it. Try talking 3hours and 20 mins on a single charge and you'll remember Jesus of Nazareth. I had to keep reducing the brightness to 19% and what not. 65% is default brightness.
5. The general feel of the menu gets worse every month and it becomes more and more prone to mistakes. To navigate there is a little joystick like navigation button on the left which is annoying and cheap. I don't even use it enough because my friend said his broke for his w950i and his girlfriend's did the same. You can't help but feel cheated because the menu is nowhere near as good as the Iphone.
6. The bundled earphones are same as the ones you get with the other walkman series and there is nothing different. This is annoying because SE are trying to save money and develop a standard and at the same time expect six hundred dollars for this phone
7. The camera is inferior to W810i and there are simply too many shades and blindspots when viewed on my computer. I have to photoshop photographs which are shot in dark light and personally increase contrast. Don't even think of comparing the Nokia N95 camera to this. The iphone camera likes to make images look a little brighter and livelier unlike this nincompoop.
8. The ringtone needs to be better tuned because the phone likes to do a little 8-10 second jig before it starts playing the mp3 you have selected as your ring tone.
9. The card scanner hardly works and the buttons for the walkman (touchscreen) are annoying.

If by this time you are wondering if I'm easy to annoy, then well I am if I feel I am robbed of my money. This phone is clearly the worst disaster and misuse I have made of my dad's hard earned funds.

10 ***BIG FLAW*** If you were to use the earphones on this phone, you will find that the output of the volume is about 35% as loud as the W810i. I simply cannot believe this nor accept it. This major flaw aggrevates me. I have tried different earphones and headphones but they have actually reduced the output volume and they have the nerve to call this a walkman phone. I used an N-Series phone the other day and I am not kidding but it was five times as loud with earphones. Terrible effects if I were to someday take this phone to gym as a stand-alone mp3 player.

11. A free carry case was provided but it is of such cheap quality that i wouldn't use it. The manual was bad.

12. Software for transferring files to the phone is bad if you are a media junkie like me with over 1TB of data. It will take hours to transfer 4gb worth of music to your phone even though individual transfer is high. The software is so buggy and slow though it promises a lot and is achingly confusing. I use good old Disc2phone.

13. You cannot view a message and go to the next without pressing back and scrolling to the message. When you press back it completely refreshes the previous window and you have to scroll all the way to the message you were looking at again.
The W960i has many other flaws but I have spoken about it's major features. It is not a good camera phone. It is not a good mp3 player, a no good one infact. I even tried to attach music systems to this with the 960 being the source and the sound reproduction was just so low, it was no good. You cannot even choose custom-equaliser settings.

Conclusion - Do not buy this phone. The camera is ordinary, there is no torch, the touchscreen is buggy, inbox becomes slow with time, takes a long time to restart, decent voice quality, the walkman sounds nice when on loud speaker but abysmal when left to play on earphones. The keypad is ok, there is no mp4 or avi playback, there is a lag when opening any application which makes it simply unworthy of being given a shot. The battery life is a day's worth and talk time is around 3-4 hours at max. Sony Ericsson is not what it used to be. Definitely not worth buying.
I haven't used the iphone or an n-series nokia or the viewty but if a phone has this many flaws despite the number of features, i just don't want it.

Sennheiser PXC 450 NoiseGard Active Noise-Canceling Headphones

Sennheiser PXC 450 NoiseGard Active Noise-Canceling Headphones

The Sennheiser PXC 450 NoiceGard Active Noise Cancelling Headphones are a significant investment, but I believe you get what you pay for. I purchased them in order to listen to my 80GB iPOD. I do not like the ear buds that came with the iPOD. On a scale of 1 - 5 (5 highest), my ratings for these headphones are:

Sound quality: 5
Noise cancellation: 5
Comfort: 5
Ease of use: 5
Carrying case: 3
Construction: 4
Looks: 5

Explanation of lower ratings:
Carrying Case (3): For the amount of money, I would have preferred a leather carrying case rather than the balistic materials used.

Construction received a 4 out of 5 simply because with the folding required to put the speakers in the case, I am very concerned something plastic will snap. I feel that rather that a tougher material could have been used in the construction of these headphones.

I compared the sound to Bose and my ears liked the Sennheiser headphones much better.

Amount paid: $449.95

Would I purchase them again? Absolutely!

Any regrets? Not even one.

Quieter Than Ever Before

Bose invented noise cancelling headphones over 20 years ago, for use specifically on airplanes. And the company has continuously improved the technology since then.

QC15 headphones reduce even more noise across the full spectrum of human hearing.

QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones Highlights

Significantly improved noise reduction across a wider range of frequencies. Proprietary Bose innovations now use microphones both inside and outside each earcup to sense and reduce more of the sounds around you.

Redesigned ear cushions use new materials in a proprietary design to establish a critical acoustical seal--helping to further reduce noise while providing a comfortable fit.

TriPort acoustic headphone structure, another Bose exclusive, features tiny vents in the earcups to enable a tonally-balanced audio performance--including reproduction of deep, low notes--from relatively small and lightweight headphones.

Active equalization electronically tunes the headphones' frequency response, enabling outstanding audio performance.

Single, detachable audio cable offers greater convenience than standard Y-cables.

Fold-flat earcups rotate 90 degrees for easy storage and portability in the included case.

Slim carrying case helps protect headphones and accessories during travel.

Stabile Steel iPad stand

Thought Out Stabile iPad Stand - Silver


I have tried other stands which worked but were too easily upset due to their light weight. I finally purchased the Stabile Steel iPad stand from Amazon.com and am very happy with it. I avoided the purchase at first due to it being much more expensive than what I had been using. However, I now have found that it truly was worth the price for me. It is very stable and grips the iPad very well to avoid slipping from the stand even if you tilt it somewhat in moving the stand from place to place. I consider this stand a real winner!

This stand is not only handy for my iPad, but I also get good use of it for supporting my Kindle DX, when I am using it to read e-books.

Placing the stand on a lap desk makes a very convenient, hands-free, combination for viewing the iPad or Kindle while relaxing in my recliner.

Elago M2 Mobile Stand for iPhone 1G/3G/3GS/4 with Angled Support for Easy Video Calling (Silver)




Solid iPhone Stand

I've been looking for a stand for my new iPhone 3GS and I've have visited so many different websites during my search. I chose the M2 Mobile Stand because I wanted a stand that I could use without taking my phone out of its protective case. The stand is very well made and extremely solid. The M2 also has rubber feet on the bottom so it does not move around while it is on my desk so it is very easy to email or text while the iPhone is on the stand. The M2 is made of fairly thick but light weight metal and therefore it is not bendable, however the iPhone lies at a very comfortable angle while it is on the stand. It is very difficult to see in the manufacturer's photos; however the stand also has two small slots in the bottom "fingers" of the stand that matches the speakers on the bottom of the iPhone so the sound is not compromised (genius!).

The M2 will hold my iPhone in either the vertical or horizontal position comfortably and I can use a USB cord to charge the phone while it is in the stand. Aesthetically it looks better when it is charging vertically because the USB cord goes through the slot in the back of the stand; however it will charge horizontally as well so you can watch movies as it charges. I know some people will not be happy paying $30 for a stand with no power or docking cord but Apple supplies one with the iPhone so I'm just using that one. I think it is a great quality product and I'll be buying another one for my home computer. Well worth the money.

Pros: design, solid construction, able to hold iPhone without removing the protective case, slot in back of stand for USB cable, holes in bottom of stand for iPhone speakers.
Cons: Non Adjustable

Video Review: iPad Slip Cover

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3CCQPVFNLAGH5

I prefer carrying the iPad in this than not, but you do lose some of the fun of spinning the iPad around, the cover forces you to interact with the iPad a certain way, more "book-like" than I think it should feel.

That is what putting a cover on it will do will do.

It is a quality product. Just not perfect.

I hope the video helps.

Great Screen Protector

Proporta Advanced Screen Protector - (Samsung i900 Series) with High Clarity & Ultra Clear Transparency




I have tried different screen protectors over the years for several different touch screen products. All of the ones I have used in the past have been complete failures. I had, actually I still have, some for my Palm V from Fellows. They are supposed to be anti-glare. What they actually are is total distorted view. The textured surface distorts the screen so badly they are unusable. I also have a set of Screengardz for an LG Dare. They are clear so they don't distort the screen but it is impossible to install them without hundreds of air bubbles between the screen and the protector. The instructions say to use the supplied squeegee to remove most of them and then time will remove the rest. With time many of them will disappear but many are still there and cannot be removed. Also, the protector is very soft and makes using a stylus very difficult.

I was very leery because of my past experiences with screen protectors about ordering these. The protector showed up today and you only get one instead of a pack of 10 or so like the ones I've bought in the past. I pulled it out and followed the 3 step instructions on the package. To my complete surprise it went on perfectly with only two air bubbles. I used the supplied squeegee to remove and it looks absolutely invisible! Took about 15 seconds! In addition the material these are made from is much harder then what I've used in the past and using a stylus feels the same as when there was no protector.

I am very happy with this product and have ordered another one for my LG Dare which I gave to my son. If you have a touch screen device I highly recommend a screen protector and I highly recommend this brand!

Enjoy!

Droid X vs Apple iPhone 4

iphone 4
Motorola's newest Android phone, the Droid X burst onto scene with its impressive range of features. The battle between the Droid X vs iPhone 4 is on. But have they done enough to conquer Apple's iPhone 4? Read on to find out.

The Droid X boasts a large 4.3 inch high res display which is one of its most striking features whilst the iPhone has a smaller 3.5 inch display but has a higher resolution screen due to its Retina Display. In terms of overall picture quality, the iPhone 4 wins here although some people may prefer the extra 1.2 inches in screen size in sacrifice of the better quality image.

The Droid X feature's an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash while the iPhone 4 features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. The iPhone has a second front facing camera which enables you to do video chat opposed to the Droid X which has only 1 camera. Both screens feature a touch screen which allows you to use an on screen keyboard.

In terms of image sharpness in still shots, the Droid X does fair slightly better but despite the extra 3 mega pixels on the Droid X, for overall image quality and the benefit of having a 2nd camera for video calls, the iPhone 4 is superior in this area.

droid x
The sound quality from both phones during calls is crystal clear. Although the iPhone 4's audio sounds slightly more full and sharp. Both phones feature noise cancellation technology which delivers a noticeable improvement by eliminating background noise in calls so your voice can be heard clearly.

For connectivity features, both phones are similar although the Droid X is the winner here. They both feature Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. The advantage the Droid X has here is that it can re-broadcast wireless signals and act as a mobile hotspot which enable to use other Wi-Fi devices with your 3G connection. The Droid X also features a HDMI out port which enables you to connect it to a TV, whilst the iPhone 4 is limited to AV cable connectivity.

The Droid X comes with 8GB of storage on board; in addition to this it also includes a 16GB micro SD memory card to increase the storage to 24GB. The Droid X can be expanded to a maximum of 40GB with a 32MB memory card.

The iPhone 4 comes with 16GB on board storage but cannot be extended like the Droid X can. However, there is a more expensive iPhone 4 model which is supplied with 32GB of storage. In comparison of the storage at each phone's base level price, the Droid X comes out on top here.

Overall, the iPhone 4 edges it. Both these Smartphone's have excellent displays and come feature packed. Certain aspects such as storage and display size/quality come down to personal preference. The iPhone 4's vast selection of apps, smooth and intuitive OS, contemporary sleek design and excellent multimedia performance really keeps it ahead of the chasing pack. Source
