Alice Duong asked:


It is without doubt that we are spoilt for choices when it comes to choosing a birthday gift for a boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, wife or children. The vast array of new toys, clothes, and jewelry available is enough to make you scratch your head. However, one category of gifts that is becoming increasing popular is novelty and gadget gifts. It appears that there is an appetite for something that is a bit out off the ordinary, quirky and fun.

Below are just some of the best selling gadget gifts for birthdays.

Finger Drums

This miniature life-like finger drums set is a very popular birthday gift for the boys. It comes fully equipped with large and small tom-tom, bass drum with miniature foot pedal, snare and cymbal, nothing short of the real thing. This desktop drum kit has both a record and a freestyle function so you can either drum away or sit listen to the catchy tune of the demo.

T-Equalizer T-Shirt

The sound activated T-Equalizer shirt appeals to both children and adults alike. Even the ladies can now enjoy the new TQ Heart design which is stylish and figure hugging. These electro-luminescent design T-shirts have an EQ panel connected to a battery pack and is sound activated. Each Equalizer bar reacts differently depending on sound frequency. The makers of these fantastic shirts have also introduced the wi-fi detector shirts which will pick up wi-fi hotspots. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding wi-fi signal strength fluctuates. Even if you are not a gadget fan, you’ll no doubt agree that these are genius inventions.

Gelli Baff

If you are looking for something that is unusual, fun and guaranteed to be loved by all kids, Gelli Baff is the gift to buy. Gelli Baff is the award-winning product from the UK that turns bath water into jelly. Gelli baff is a harmless powder which holds 400 times its own weight in water. A similar substance is used in disposable nappies. The dissolver sachet contains pure table salt, the same as you put on your chips! For those who are worried about disposing of this goo down the drain, the dissolver turns the jelly back to liquid for easy disposal down the drain.

Flying Alarm Clock

This is one of those gifts that your receiver is either going to love or hate. Whatever the reaction you can’t deny the interesting and funny appeal of this gadget. When the alarm sounds the propeller is launched up into the air & flies around the room. To turn off the alarm you’ll have to get up, find it & return it to the base. If this won’t get you out of bed, then nothing will!

Tyvek Wallets

As more people join the environmentally friendly band wagon, the demand for interesting “green” novelty products have also attracted much interests. One extremely popular product is the Tyvek Wallets. Made of Tyvek, 25% recyled material, these wallets are themselves recyclable. They are expandable, strong, lightweight and thin, not to mention stylish. Numerous designs are available to cater for different tastes. The Tyvek wallet is also water resistant and will protect against the humidity in your pocket which destroys leather. This is truly an eco-friendly novelty wallet!

There are many more interesting gadget gifts to offer if you are prepared to search around. Be specific with your search and focus on shopping sites that offer “gadget gifts” and “novelties”.

The Comparison of the Zune and the iPod

Kevin Bailey asked:


Everyone knows that the iPod steals the show when it comes to MP3 Players, but are they the best option out there? I am going to give you an in depth comparison of the Zune mp3 player and the iPod.

Lets start with some of the features that the Zune MP3 Players have while the iPods do not: Wi-Fi, Pre-loaded Video, Pre-loaded Audio, FM Tuner, Landscape Mode, Wireless Sync, Custom Background, Wireless File Sharing, Tactile + Touch Control, and an X-BOX Marketplace Integration. That is quite a few features that iPod does without when you look at the list. Another thing that may bother some is that the iPod already comes preloaded with a virus, although not one that will do any major harm to your computer, the idea that a company is willing to put a virus on products whether it be for tracking purposes or something else doesn’t exactly sound like the most appetizing product.

So far the Zune mp3 player is putting up a good fight, lets keep it going. One feature that the iPod does have that Zune MP3 Players do not is a click wheel, which can prove to be quite useful when searching through your thousand plus song play list. This part of the iPod is probably one of the biggest reasons it is so popular due to the fact that having the wheel makes the navigation and ease-of-use unbelieveable, but is that really enough to balance the differences? If you try to get all of the music you want to listen to through iTunes you will go broke, because you have to pay for each and every song. On the other hand, Zune MP3 Players have a Zune Marketplace in which you pay only $14.99 a month to receive unlimited downloads to all the music you want.

Lets take a little time to review the comparison. The Zune does have a lot more features than the iPod, and while a great concept and all, some of those features are broken or close to useless. Still, for the ones that do work and have any use, they outshine the features of the iPod, but only barely. When it comes to comparing screen sizes, they match up almost exactly the same, with the 80GB Zune having a small lead, and the iPod nano being a little wider but shorter than the Zune 4GB.

Now, I understand that it may still be hard for you to make a decision on what MP3 Player you would like to purchase. Just look at the facts, the comparison definitely shows that both companies are here to fight, but there is a few things that stand out for the Zune as opposed to the iPod, although the iPod does have the X Factor when it comes to their product. That being said, if you are going to purchase an mp3 player, it can go either way, although the iPod is more known and more popular, on paper the Zune looks like it is a little better.

For anyone who likes to follow fads and be a follower, purchase what everyone else has or is wearing, then regardless of what an article says about how something may be better, you’ve probably already made your decision. But if your open to new ideas and concepts, and are willing to do the research to get the better product, then you have a good chance of changing your mind. So, unless your dying to have a scroll wheel, I think we all know what mp3 player is better, but I’ll leave that one for you to decide, thank you.

Tony Connor asked:


The Zune is a true breakthrough when it comes to portable multimedia players. Audio, video, FM radio, games and Wi-Fi all come as standard and they open up huge possibilities for your entertainment pleasure.

Watching such high quality movies on such as small device really is cutting-edge technology – but how do you know you’re getting the best quality and value when it come to those movies?

You really need the right software to to download and/or convert movies for your Zune. Yes, you could just download from Zune Marketplace or Amazon, but what about the DVDs you already have? Plus, it can get really expensive if you download all the movies you really want to watch.

The unlimited download sites that are available for a one-time membership fee, generally have free software to download and/or convert movies for your Zune. This means you can get a wide range of movies at no cost per download – there is just a one-time membership fee. This can save you a lot of money really quickly.

The Zune plays MPEG-4 video so all you need to do is convert any DVDs or home videos to that format.

If you′re not so technical though it can get a bit daunting – yes, you want high quality, low cost movies, but it can be a little over-whelming. Never fear! The software is really easy to use, plus there is technical support available that will help you with any problems you might run into.

The key thing is to enjoy as much of what the Zune has to offer as you can. That means downloading high quality movies at a price you can afford.

Tips to Care Your Ipod Batteries

David asked:


iPod Battery Tips

One of the common worries for you as an iPod user is that the battery does not last well and are expensive to replace.

I guess, with thousands of iPods being sold everyday, there will bound to be a small percentage that ends up with defective batteries.

But paying attention to a few common sense pointers will pay off with a longer battery life for your iPod.

Still, battery problems are a major concern so I have compiled these short iPod battery tips that will hopefully, be of some help to you as an iPod user.

Update to the latest software

Always make sure your iPod has the latest software. This is the first and most important tip… of all iPod battery tips.

Regular iPod use

For proper maintenance of your iPod’s battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. In other words, use your iPod regularly.

Use the ‘Hold’ switch

Set the ‘Hold’ switch on your iPod to the ‘Hold’ position whenever you are not using it. This will keep your iPod from accidentally waking from sleep and playing songs if its buttons are pressed while in your pocket or bag.

Wi-Fi

The latest iPod with Wi-Fi consumes power even if you are not using it to connect to a network to access the internet. Turn your Wi-Fi off to save battery power. To do this from your iPod′s main menu… go to ‘Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi′.

Backlighting

Backlighting can use a lot of battery power. Only use the backlight when necessary. If you don’t need to use backlighting, turn it off. Choose ‘Settings > Backlight Timer > Off’ from your iPod’s main menu.

Equalizer

Adding EQs to playback uses more of your iPod processor, since they aren’t encoded in the song. Turn EQ off if you don’t use it.

If, however, you’ve added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you’ll need to set EQ to “flat” in order to have the effect of “off”, because your iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact. To turn off the Equalizer, choose ‘Settings > EQ > Off’ from your iPod′s main menu.

Use compressed songs

Your iPod′s cache works best with songs of average file sizes (less than 9 MB). If your audio files are large or uncompressed (including AIFF format), you may want to compress them, or use a different compression method, such as Ṃ or AAC, when importing them into iTunes.

Also, consider breaking very long songs or tracks into shorter tracks that have smaller file sizes.

Avoid Fast forwarding through playlists

If you fast forward through your playlists frequently your iPod will be using more power thus decreasing overall battery life. By creating playlists in iTunes, you can decrease your need to fast forward.

Also using the shuffle feature may also help minimise your need to use the fast forward feature. I’ve always used an iPod battery backup when my iPod video couldn’t hold its charge and it has been very helpful.

Avoid changing tracks

Avoid changing tracks by pressing the Previous/Rewind or Next/Fast-forward buttons. If you frequently change tracks by pressing the Previous or Next buttons, your iPod has to turn on the hard drive to open the songs. This uses a lot of battery power.

Pause iPod when unattended

If you leave your iPod unattended, press Play/Pause to pause the song. If left playing, it will continue to play songs until the battery is drained — particularly if the repeat setting is set to ‘One’ or ‘All’. Put your iPod to sleep to save battery life. Press the ‘Play’ button for about 2 seconds until it goes to the sleep mode.

Keep your iPod at room temperature

Your iPod’s battery works best when it’s at room temperature, generally near 20° C, but you can use it anywhere between 0° to 35° C (about 32° to 95° F).

If you have left your iPod in the cold, let it warm up to room temperature before waking it from sleep. Otherwise, a low-battery icon may appear and it will be difficult to get it back from sleep.

If after warming up, your iPod does not wake from sleep, connect it to the power adapter, and press the ‘Menu’ and ‘Select’ buttons until the Apple logo appears.

* Do not leave iPod in a vehicle’s interior when parked in the sun. Temperatures may reach up to 150° F (65 °C).

* Do not leave iPod exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

By following all these iPod battery tips you’ll safeguard your iPod against a failing battery.

Microsoft Zune Review – the Future of Mp3 and Digital Media Players?

August 19, 2008

(0) Comments

Zune
Mike McFar asked:


Earlier this year, the idea of a Microsoft-branded MP3 player was foreign to most consumers. After all, what could the software giant do to the iPod dynasty that Windows Media hardware partners such as Creative, iRiver, and Samsung had been unable to do? Well, we all knew that after Microsoft’s September 14 announcement, the Zune would be a different kind of portable media player, one that integrates wireless technology for Zune-to-Zune sharing of files, and one that works within an iTunes-like closed Zune Marketplace ecosystem. The hard drive device, which comes in black, white, or the love-it/hate-it brown, has entered the real world and will please most users, especially beginners, thanks to an excellent UI, nice integration with Zune Marketplace software, and good playback performance.

By now, we all know the basics of the Zune: it′s a 30GB MP3 player with a photo- and video-friendly 3-inch (4:3) screen, and it costs $249.99 (unless you buy it at buyazune.com). It runs on a customized version of Portable Media Center software (Windows CE-based) and features the same intuitive twist-navigation like players such as the Toshiba Gigabeat S.

While the player is similar to many other players in terms of its feature set–music, video, and photo playback, plus an FM tuner–what sets it apart is its integrated Wi-Fi chip, which allows it to seek out and be seen by other Zune-sters. This sharing feature allows users to share music and photos (but not video) within the same room. Shared photo files, on the other hand, have no limitations. We’d love to see Wi-Fi expanded so that one could sync or purchase music wirelessly (or even see Zunes across the globe), but having played with the device, I see why Microsoft is starting small. So far, the Zune experience out of the box and beyond has been predictable and solid. Wi-Fi or not, it’s one excellent media player.

Quickly, about the box and its contents: the Zune packaging is minimal but has flare. You actually lift the Zune out of the box by pulling on its brown ribbon (nice touch), and the bundled earphones and rubbery USB cable are nowhere to be seen until you realize the flaps adjacent to the Zune lift open. In addition, you′ll get a suede case, a software CD, some guides, and a sticker in the package. While we’d love to see more–such as an AC adaptor– the introductory Zune experience is well done.

The colors are subdued and the shell has a translucent matte finish, and more importantly, the body does not attract fingerprints (though the screen does). The double-shot effect of the secondary color (green on the brown version, bluish on the black, translucent on the white) definitely gives the player visual pizzazz. The built-in battery will last up to 14 hours for audio. Interestingly, the back says this in fine print: “Hello from Seattle.” The Zune, which is manufactured by Toshiba but completely designed by Microsoft, is an original-looking player with a style of its own.

It’s a durable device that will withstand scratches, bumps, and bruises, though the primary seam of the device looks as if it might burst open after a hard fall. The body is minimal with no buttons on the sides, only a hold switch and an earphone jack on top and a proprietary USB/accessories port on the bottom. The screen and main controller are surrounded by a thin, metallic inlay, while the three control buttons are dead simple (the small dedicated back and play/pause buttons are flush with the body).

Overall, the Zune is a well-designed portable media device with good playback performance, a snappy processor, and an excellent interface. Wi-Fi sharing worked well, but prospective owners should know its format support, especially for videos, is limited. The Zune looks like a good fit for MP3 player novices, though we hope Microsoft addresses issues and will make the Zune usable as a hard drive; extend video support to include DRM (which they probably will do when its own video store opens); and open up a true Wi-Fi network. The foundation looks good, though, and those not interested in version 1 of Zune can look forward to improved versions 2, 3, and beyond.

This review was brought to you by CNET.

If your interested in the Microsoft Zune, I would recommend http://www.buyazune.com as they consistently offer the best prices for every model and accessory of the Zune.

Latest Microsoft Zune 80 Detailed Information

August 13, 2008

Zune
Corwin Brown asked:


Microsoft Zune 80 is the latest version of Zune generation from the company, which features 3.2” 320×240, 64k Color LCD, weighing 128 grams with size of 61.1 x 108.2 x 12.9 mm and also able to supports WMA, WMA Lossless, MP3, AAC as well as WMV, MPEG4, H.264. Microsoft also claims that the battery should lasts up to 30hrs Audio / 4hrs Video. It has the capacity of up to 80 GB stores 20,000 songs, 25,000 pictures or 250 hours of video.

The Zune 80 is part of a sweeping update by Microsoft of its digital media player offering. Along with Zune 80, two flash-memory players are being launched, as well as a significant firmware update, new PC software, an updated online Marketplace, and a new Zune Social community site.

Video performance on the 80GB Zune is quite good. The Zune’s 3.2-inch screen is a monster, bested only by the iPod Touch and full-fledged PVPs. The glass-covered 320×240 LCD presents excellent viewing angles, with above-average clarity and color.

The second time around I am seeing something a bit more impressive. The hardware has been updated and features have been added. The Zune is much more social this time around with the ability to share your listening preferences online. It has also tightly and seamlessly integrated podcasting and the wi-fi has finally been put to good use with wireless sync.

Design

The 80GB Zune cuts a much slimmer figure than its bricklike older brother. Measuring 4.3 inches high by 2.4 inches wide by 0.5 inch deep, Microsoft shaved some considerable bulk off the Zune’s thickness, while nearly tripling its capacity. Beyond its more pocket-worthy form, the two major improvements to the Zune’s hardware design are its screen and its navigation pad.

Features

We admit the first-generation Zune certainly wasn’t the coolest-looking Ṃ player on the block, but its features were fairly advanced. With subscription music support, wide-screen video playback, Wi-Fi music sharing, high-quality photo viewer, RBDS-enabled FM radio, and composite video output, the original Zune looked like a serious iPod challenger on paper. The 80GB Zune maintains all of the original Zune’s compelling features and ups the ante with tightly integrated audio and video podcast support, as well as the unique ability to automatically sync content over a home wireless network.

Pros:Works seamlessly with redesigned Zune Marketplace. Navigation pad works well. Excellent graphics. Bundled earbuds aren’t bad. Customizable rear panel. Syncs to PCs wirelessly.Cons: Screen is too small. Headphone jack poorly designed. Interface can freeze up. Player-to-player wireless can be fickle. Full wireless syncing capability will be added in a firmware update.”
