Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB : Review & Features

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

The latest from the Apple iPod family is the 2GB iPod shuffle which lets you wear up to 500 songs on your sleeve as a badge of musical devotion. iPod shuffle comes in four vibrant colors and the original silver to suit your music and your mood and it is the only iPod that is wearable right out of the box.


The iPod Shuffle Weighs 15.6 grams with a height of 1.07 inches and width of 1.62 inches. It holds up to 500 songs in 128-Kbps AAC format and Stores data via USB flash drive. With skip-free playback it supports audio formats: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), WAV, and AIFF.


iTunes offers some new features for iPod shuffle. One is the ability to reduce the bit rate of songs to 128 kbit/s AAC. The conversion is done automatically, with the original file left untouched on the computer and the smaller (lower bit rate) file sent to the iPod shuffle. iTunes also allows an iPod shuffle playlist to be viewed and changed while the unit is not connected; the next time the unit is connected, it can then be updated with the changed playlist.


The simple features of an iPod shuffle includes : Controls which is a circular control pad that puts the go in ergonomic. Click the center button to play and pause. Click the outer buttons to move back, skip forward, and adjust volume. A built-in clip, iPod shuffle goes with anything. Clip the iPod to your sleeve, lapel or coin pocket. No matter where you wear it, iPod shuffle speaks about your style. The iPod has a Shuffle switch. Flip the shuffle switch to mix up iPod shuffle’s contents. Flip it again to play your handpicked playlists and albums in the order you synced them from iTunes. The headphone jack does double-duty as a dock connector. Flip iPod shuffle upside-down and drop it into the included dock. Connect the dock to your Mac or PC for a quick sync and charge. Away from your computer? Charge on the go with the optional Apple USB power adapter.


With up to 12 hours of battery life, iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do. Green means go, amber means you are low, and red means you’ve almost hit zero. The battery life is very good, considering the small profile and the versatility of the gadget.


As such lot has been said about this iPod, but does it really serve the basic purpose, as being the cheapest, simplest and smallest iPod to date.

Apple iPod Nano : Review & Features

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

The most popular Apple product right now is the iPod Nano. The iPod Nano is much smaller than the rest of the iPod family, save for the iPod shuffle. The screen on the iPod Nano is tiny, but it is color and has a surprisingly high resolution. Because the screen is so clear, it is said to be able to have more characters in one line than the iPod Mini. The screen is no bigger than a postage stamp, but is still able to portray the album art of the current song that is playing. iPod Nano comes with a capacity of 4GB(1,000 songs) and 8GB(2,000 songs). With an anodized aluminum top and polished stainless steel back. Six eye-catching colors. A larger, brighter display with the most pixels per inch of any Apple display, ever. iPod nano stirs up visual effects from the outside in. And it will wow you for hours. Play up to 5 hours of video or up to 24 hours of audio on a single charge. All that staying power and a wafer-thin, 6.5-mm profile makes iPod nano one small big attraction.


With Cover Flow on iPod nano, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod nano makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its bright color display.


Buy or rent movies from the iTunes Store to your iPod nano to watch anywhere, anytime. Up to 5 hours of video playback means you can watch two movies back to back. And for your viewing pleasure, the 320-by-240-pixel display with a whopping 204 pixels per inch and is 65 percent brighter than before. There is always something good on iPod nano. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just $1.99 each, then sync them to your iPod nano. Watch last nights episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon. The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod nano. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.


The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod nano takes you. iPod nano even recognizes where you left off reading and bookmarks your place.


Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod nano comes with three games Vortex, iQuiz and Klondike and you can download more from the iTunes Store for $4.99 each. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2-inch color display.


iPod nano holds up to 7,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view your photo slideshows complete with music and transitions on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.


Calendars, contacts, and a screen lock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the world clock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose different clocks for cities all over the world. For workouts, use the built-in stopwatch to log your best times.


Now, more music, movies, photos and games on your iPod Nano.

We Review The Ipod Touch!

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

As the less-gifted sibling of Apple’s celebrated iPhone, the iPod touch has had to work hard to prove itself. Now in its second generation, Apple has finally given the iPod touch a chance to shine by lowering its price , improving the hardware and practically doubling the features from last year’s original model.

Design
Apple’s updates to the iPod touch’s design are subtle, but the hardware has definitely changed for the better. A slim volume switch now graces the left edge, making it easier to adjust the volume quickly. The chromed steel back now mimics the rounded design of the iPhone 3G, giving the device a slimmer profile at its edges. Whether psychological or by design, the second-generation iPod touch feels less fragile than last year’s model and makes the plastic enclosure of the iPhone 3G feel cheap by comparison.

Minor improvements aside, the hardware is largely unchanged. Both the first- and second-generation iPod touch share the same dimensions (104mm by 62mm by 11mm), same glass-covered 89mm (3.5-inch) screen and same arrangement of headphone jack, dock connector, sleep button and home button.

Features
The second-generation iPod touch still commands a fairly high price compared with other MP3 players with similar capacities. When you weigh the price against its features, however, the device becomes much more attractive. Out of the box, the new touch includes an amazing music player, podcast support, video playback (including iTunes rentals and a YouTube player), a Safari Web browser, photo viewer, an email reader (compatible with Outlook, Exchange, MobileMe, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or any POP email service), an integrated Wi-Fi music store and a host of smaller utilities (weather, calendar, maps, stocks, notes, clock, contacts and calculator). Provided you can become proficient with its touchscreen keyboard, the iPod touch is more pocket PC than MP3 player.

As of version 2.0 of Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch firmware, the device’s standard features are just the beginning. The new iTunes App Store, accessible from your computer or directly from the iPod touch, allows users to download and install thousands of applications, including Internet radio players, games, voice recorders and social-networking tools. You can also extend its capabilities by using third-party ‘Made for iPod’ hardware accessories such as Bluetooth transmitters, audio/video docks, external battery packs and speaker systems.

The second-generation touch also introduces Apple’s new Genius feature, which lets you create an instant 25-song playlist based on the musical characteristics of a single song. The Genius feature is easy to use, and the results are fun, provided your music collection holds enough songs to make interesting connections. You can create and save Genius playlists directly onto your iPod touch, and with automatic syncing enabled in iTunes you can also transfer them back to your computer.

Oddly, the touch’s Genius feature won’t work if you haven’t enabled Genius on your computer’s iTunes software. If you find iTunes’ Genius feature too demanding on your computer’s resources or too invasive of your privacy (the feature reports your listening habits to Apple), then you’ll need to live without the feature on your iPod as well.

If you own a first-generation iPod touch, you can upgrade its firmware to include all of the software capabilities (including Genius playlists) found on the second-generation model. There are three features, however, that you’re only going to get on the second-generation model: a built-in speaker, Nike+ support and headphone jack microphone input. The speaker included on the second-generation touch isn’t visible from the outside and its sound quality is far from spectacular. Despite its poor quality, the addition of a speaker makes it easier to play games or listen to your morning podcasts without hunting down your headphones.

We’re also happy to see the inclusion of Nike+ functionality considering the popularity of MP3 players as workout companions. And if you’re interested in making voice memos, an investment in a compatible iPod microphone headset (due out in October) will allow you to make voice recordings directly to the iPod touch, provided that third-party developers begin creating voice applications specific to it.

We’re disappointed that the new version still can’t stream Flash video or audio content through its Safari browser. Many of the Web’s more popular content providers are working around the problem, however, by creating specific App Store applications for their content. We also can’t help but crave the camera and GPS capabilities included on the touch’s close relative, the iPhone 3G. With any luck, a third-party manufacturer will step in with some clever accessories.

Both the iPod touch and iPhone allow users to browse, preview, purchase and download music from the new iTunes Wi-Fi music store. The store is limited strictly to music downloads — no movies, TV shows, podcasts or games — at least not yet. You’ll have to hop on to an available Wi-Fi Internet connection to take advantage of the wireless music store, but once connected, you can search for any artist, album or song in the iTunes catalogue, as well as browse by genre, top sellers, featured artists and new releases.

Store purchases require you to enter your iTunes password as a security measure. Once the download is complete, the song is immediately available to listen to and will transfer to your computer’s iTunes music library the next time you sync the device. The feature seems to work without any kinks — even interrupted downloads pick up once a Wi-Fi connection is re-established.

Before you run off to buy one, consider this caveat: those who use this or any iPod will be required to install and use iTunes. Some argue that iTunes is a top-notch media library tool and online music store, while others become infuriated by the software’s insatiable demand for system resources and frequent updates.

Whatever side of the iTunes debate you take, know that iTunes 8 is a mandatory install for the second-generation iPod touch. If you haven’t used iTunes before or haven’t upgraded the software in a while, we strongly recommend giving the new software a spin before committing to a new iPod.

Performance
Having handled our share of touchscreen iPod and iPhone imitators this past year, we’ve yet to find a product that measures up to the responsiveness of Apple’s multitouch technology.

Granted, some Web-based applications need a few seconds to warm up, but the majority of the features on this iPod touch react with an uncanny immediacy and fluidity. Small things such as album cover art that flips over to reveal track listings, menus that scroll with artificial momentum and photos that resize with a pinch of your fingers, all illustrate an attention to detail not offered by the iPod’s competitors.

For reasons known only to Apple, the obsessive detail poured into the iPod’s design doesn’t translate into audio performance. The barrage of sound-enhancement settings packed into MP3 players from Sony, Cowon and Samsung are in stark contrast to the unchanged and marginally useful list of equaliser presets included on the iPod. That said, the balanced and smooth audio quality of the iPod touch is likely to satisfy the majority of listeners, despite the limited scope of its audio control.

As with all iPods, the second-generation model supports playback for MP3, AAC (including protected files), Audible, WAV, AIFF and Apple Lossless. There’s still no support for WMA music files, but you can always convert your WMA tracks to MP3 within Apple’s iTunes software.

If you’re looking for a way to take video on-the-go, the touch has plenty to offer. You can load it with video podcasts, TV programmes and iTunes movie rentals, or watch endless amounts of free video clips using the included YouTube widget. Viewing angles seem better than the previous model, while colour balance and brightness seem about the same.

Apple rates the new iPod touch at 36 hours for music (up from the first-gen’s 22 hours) and 6 hours of video (unchanged), although mileage will vary based on screen brightness and Wi-Fi usage. Historically, Apple’s iPod battery estimates tend to be conservative.

Conclusion
We think the second-generation iPod touch is one of the best iPods ever made. Inside and out, it’s in a league of its own in the world of portable entertainment. If you have an old, worn-out iPod and you’re ready to upgrade, we think this new model should be your first consideration.

That said, if you already own an iPhone or an original iPod touch, it would be hard to justify buying the second-generation version. Also, if all you really want is a no-frills portable music player, upgrading is probably overkill.

Review of “Free Stuff Exposed”

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

This is a review of the “Free Stuff Exposed” eBook. Find out whether or not it is legitimate, or whether it’s just another Internet scam designed to empty unsuspecting customers’ pockets. You might be surprised!

I first heard about the book as part of my investigation into getting a new laptop. I didn’t have much money to spend, and some friends had told me that you could get a free laptop by signing up with a new broadband provider, or new mobile phone provider.

While I was researching these offers, I came across an advert for a site which promised no contracts, no fees and a 100% free laptop with no strings attached.

Obviously, my first reaction was massive skepticism. How could this possibly be true? I asked a few of my friends what they thought, and they agreed it was probably a scam. But I was intrigued… and they did offer a full money back guarantee, so I purchased.

It is an eBook delivered as a PDF file immediately after payment. The purchase process itself was smooth and secure, and the book downloaded in under a minute. I decided to print it off since I prefer reading on paper, not on a screen. It was a quick read, but straight to the point, very clear and offered lots of resources to get started immediately.

The method itself is deviously simple. Basically, there are some companies who use money given to them by larger companies as part of a marketing campaign, to buy you gifts. The book explains how to find these companies, and how to take advantage of the whole situation to get your hands on the latest gadgets.

The first part of the book explains exactly how and why the loophole exists. It goes into plenty of detail, and once you read it the whole situation becomes very clear. The loophole is a consequence of modern marketing, and some very clever people have “gamed” the system into their favor.

The second part of the book explains how you can get in with these very clever people, and get your fair share of the goodies going around. The process is explained step by step, so all you have to do is follow the instructions. It is very easy to do, and there’s no restrictions on age or gender. You do have to be in the UK, USA or Canada though – while the techniques do work outside those regions, you might have to work a little harder to find companies willing to work with those countries.

The last part of the book describes an extra trick to make the whole process faster, by making use of a few hidden online resources. In theory, you could get your free gadgets in as little as 7 days in some cases, but most of the time it will take 14-28 days. However, by making use of these online resources, you can potentially halve the time it takes.

All in all, after purchasing and reading the guide, I can conclude the following:

* It is not a scam
* It is a legitimate opportunity
* Thousands of people are already taking advantage of it, and receiving millions of dollars worth of free gadgets
* Although it can take a little while, it is very easy to do, and lastly…
* I’m definitely going to do it myself!

A Review of the Freebie Force Pro Income Opportunity

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

The Internet has caused major changes on our planet. Now we are able to communicate and take advantage of various opportunities with the use of the Internet. One of these opportunities is definitely the Online Money Making Opportunities that are available online.

When you surf across the Internet, you will find thousands of different money making opportunities or pyramid scams in which you will have to convince other people to sign up, so that you can make money. Most of the time, you end up losing the money you invested with these so called money making schemes. However, one site that works is definitely the Freebie Force Pro Income Opportunity.

The Freebie Force Pro Income Opportunity differs from all the other money making programs on the Internet in one major aspect. You will definitely get something back for your money. Also unlike other programs, you are not required to invest hundreds of dollars so that you can make money.

In fact with the Freebie Force Pro Income Opportunity, all you have to do is pay a $10 monthly fee to stay enrolled in the program. The best part is there are no activation or start up fees in this program and you never have to pay any extra cent ever in this program.

Now you may wonder that $10 is not big money, but why should you pay it? Well, with all the money making programs reviewed, this program flashes out with the fact that it offers freebies for everyone, from anywhere in the world. This is done in such a way that by enrolling in the site, you are given various links and advertisements of offers that give away something free.

These offers include things like free airline tickets within the U.S., free restaurant vouchers on famous restaurant chains, free hotels or overnight stays, free vacations, free groceries, free products, free notebooks and almost anything that you can think of.

Perhaps this is the only site, that really gives you back something for your money. There are hundreds of freebie offers and some offers are even international for countries like Canada, UK and Australia. The Freebie Force Pro Income Opportunity filters the offers to make sure that they are absolutely free.

This means that all offers are analyzed by the program to filter out any offers that may have hidden charges inside. This way even on a free flight offer, you will not be required to pay any taxes. In fact, to qualify for a free flight, all you have to do is take a test drive of a luxury vehicle.

Moreover, Freebie Force Pro Income Opportunity creates extra money making opportunities by sharing the advertisement income from the program. However, in order to make these extra earnings, you will have to get some new sign ups of people who would like to take the opportunity to receive free stuff.

Starting with your seventh downstream, you start to make money on new memberships and advertisement income. So this Freebie Force Pro Income Opportunity is really one of the great plans that are available on the Internet that does give you something back.
