The Nook Vs Kindle 2 – And the Winner Is? | By Kathy Erickson

Barnes and Noble will now sell the “Nook”, their addition to the eBook Reader market, dominated largely by the Kindle and the Sony Reader. What’s so special about the Nook according to Barnes and Noble?

The Nook Unique Feature #1- The Nook eBook Reader boasts a lively color navigation screen. This means full color when you are scrolling through your ebook title covers, newspapers, magazines, etc. The Kindle 2 is still a gray-scale screen. Is this a positive for the Nook?

The Nook Unique Feature #2- The Nook is boasting the ability to lend books to other people who have the “app” on their smart device. So the lendee doesn’t necessarily have to have the Nook, but only the app. This app works on iPhone, Blackberry Touch, etc… The person who lends the book can do so for up to 2 weeks, and will not have access to the book while they lend it. Advantage?

Stereophile - Subscription Want to know how good your audio system is? How about listening to it? Every month Stereophile magazine offers authoritative reviews, informed recommendations, helpful advice, and controversial opinions, all stemming from the revolutionary idea that audio components should be judged on how they reproduce music. Stereophile never loses sight of the fact that its primary responsibility is toward its readers and how they choose to spend their hard-earned money. Whether you enjoy your music on LP, CD, DVD or SACD, Stereophile enables you to get the most from it.

The Nook Unique Feature #3- The “E Ink” screen is a key technology on this new device. This screen display technology is “clearer than actual book text” according to the folks at Barnes and Noble. You can make the font as large and small as you want as well.

The Nook Unique Feature #4- The Nook has the ability to sync with almost any smart-device on the market today. The Nook is powered by the Google software, “Android”, and is compatible with over 100 other electronic devices on the market. So there are four ways the Nook is a unique addition to the eBook Reader market.

All these features are unique to the Amazon Kindle 2.

The Kindle 2 doesn’t have a color navigation screen, only one screen that is a “gray-tone” technology.

The Kindle doesn’t yet give you the ability to lend books like the Nook does. We will see if this feature is something the consumer embraces.

The Kindle does however have a “text to speech” feature so you can switch to speech while driving in the car. The Kindle has the ability to sync with a few devices, but will not compete with the fact that Nook will sync with 100′s of devices. Android software is not a proven system however, and we will have to see how the developers embrace Google’s new platform.

So Who’s the WINNER? It’s a close race with pricing, 3G and Wireless capabilities being basically identical. A huge difference that I feel will make the Nook a better choice is the color navigation screen. It’s a superficial difference, yet a large one at that.

How Long Does an iPod Touch Battery Last? | By Joe Sikes

The wonders of the future never cease to amaze us as time goes on. Now a common household product name, Apple has a revolutionary new product in the iPod Touch with the ability to play TV and video, support thousands of games and almost every audio format out there – but how long will the fun last before the battery is depleted?

The Apple website has the iTouch’s battery life rated at 36 hours, which means that if the iPod is on shuffle and the screen is dark, music will play until then. They also have the video playback time listed at 6 hours, which is when the iTouch is nonstop playing movies or video. However, there is a darker side to this story.

Sound and Vision - Subscription Sound & Vision is at the forefront of the ever-changing, always dynamic world of electronic entertainment. Authoritative and accessible, written with insight and humor, Sound & Vision is the preeminent source for consumers of home theater, audio, video, and multimedia products.

Many users report the iTouch out of the case having a consistent battery expectency of 16-22 hours for music, and 3-4 hours of video and game usage, which are the most extreme users of battery life games being even moreso due to the fact that games are highly interactive, colorful, and some can even use the WiFi connection in addition to draining the battery as extensively as a movie. The reasons for the spectrum being so broad can be for any number of reasons, though. There are many background processes that all use up a portion of the total battery life for the iTouch. If one were to turn off the WiFi, battery life can be improved. Screen brightness is also a huge portion of determining how much battery life can be drained. If operating the iTouch in a dark room or during the evening, the brightness can be turned down anywhere from 10-25% and still be easily viewable for the average user. It has also been reported that the Auto Brightness feature, though designed to be a courtesy option, can also drain the battery life rather than preserve it.

All sorts of things can determine what exactly will alter the life of the iTouch battery. There are even applications available on the Apple Application Store that can show exactly how much battery life remains for specific actions, easily searchable and free to download that work for both the iTouch and the iPhone. Regardless of all the specific details, there are numerous ways to change and preserve the battery life of an iTouch. Be it 4 hours of video or 22 hours of music, a conscientious consumer can get the most out of their iPod’s with ease.

Canon EOS 7D Review | By Phil Craig

With the recent introduction of the Canon EOS 7D, the popular camera company is set to regain it’s number one place in this highly competitive market. Instead of replacing the EOS 50D, the new model will effectively become a step up from previous offerings. In this Canon EOS 7D review, you will see just some of the features that make this an exciting edition for the advanced photographer’s needs.

American PHOTO - Subscription American PHOTO is the premier showcase for outstanding photography. A reflection of contemporary culture through the camera's lens, it inspires professionals and sophisticated amateurs alike with its coverage of art, fashion, journalism celebrity, sports, politics and advertising. American PHOTO is a stunning visual commentary on our world, featuring masters of photography among others. Each issue also includes technical data on the featured images as well as the behind-the-scenes anecdotes that relate to the shot.

As anyone who upgrades from a point and shoot to a digital SLR knows, it can be very challenging to learn about f-stops and exposure. However, you can often get better shots than with automatic settings. While most SLRs feature automatic shooting, the SLR really shines with manual controls and the Canon EOS 7D is no exception. It does, however, have really great automatic programs. The company actually designed the camera around the specific needs of professional photographers, so there are some very exciting features.

One of the things that really stand out in any Canon EOS 7D review is the ability that the machine has to focus so accurately. The photographer is able to take advantage of the 19 point cross type AF system, making for extremely precise shooting options. The extensive sensor system also allows the camera to automatically select subjects, making each shoot more foolproof than ever. It is simple to select the presets that come on the camera, or you can create up to three custom settings of your own.

Of course, no Canon EOS 7D review is complete without discussing screen size and image resolution. This camera has a 3″ LCD monitor. Compared to older models, it appears to be a bit smaller. However, it is actually the same size. The older models have a frame around the screen that gives them the illusion of being bigger. The screen is also more accurate. Finally, what you see is what you get! The camera has an image resolution of 18MP. This model is even self cleaning. Every time you turn it on or off, it will vibrate quickly to remove dust from the high quality lens. You can disable this feature if you prefer. The Canon EOS 7D takes a CF or Compact Flash card and also supports microdrive cards, leaving you with plenty of options.

As you can see, this camera is a professionals dream! It is made to compete directly with the popular Sony and Nokia digital SLR cameras. As such, this camera is not on the lower end of the digital SLR price range. It is made to be the top performer in the professional market and is priced accordingly. However, if you have the need for truly professional results, this may be just the ticket.

Phil has been writing online for years. Not only does this author specialize in diet, fitness and weight loss, you can check out his latest website on Canon 7D Reviews which provides reviews and information on the new Canon EOS 7D camera for your photographic enjoyment.

The History of the BlackBerry | By Neo Nashville

Although the market is now awash with smartphones that combine advanced computing facilities with telephone functionality, the unit that really kicked off the craze was developed in the early 2000s by a Canadian firm called Research In Motion and called the BlackBerry.

The very first Blackberry, introduced in 1999, was not a phone at all, but a hand held wireless two way pager with PDA functionality.

In 2002, Research In Motion(RIM) introduced a smartphone to their BlackBerry range, which was to go on to be the product that would establish them as the biggest name in the PDA business.

Sound and Vision - Subscription Sound & Vision is at the forefront of the ever-changing, always dynamic world of electronic entertainment. Authoritative and accessible, written with insight and humor, Sound & Vision is the preeminent source for consumers of home theater, audio, video, and multimedia products.

With a BlackBerry smartphone, you could send and receive phone calls, text messages, faxes, and emails, and browse the internet wherever you were.

When RIM brought out their first smartphone in 2002, there were already several such devices on the market, including the market leading Nokia 9000, which was essentially a mobile phone with a QWERTY keyboard, organiser software, and a larger than usual screen. However the BlackBerry managed to steal a march on these rival products by including a number of unique new features.

Perhaps the most revolutionary feature of the BlackBerry was its unique ability to send and receive emails, using a technology known as push emailing that automatically forwarded new emails, contacts, and calendar entries from the company server to the unit without the need for manual synchronisation or regular polling.

The control surface of the BlackBerry also caused quite a stir, featuring as it did a small thumb keyboard, laid out in the same fashion as a traditional computer or typewriter, but optimised for use with just the thumbs. Navigation through menus was originally accomplished via a side-mounted wheel, although later models used a tracker ball, which facilitated mouse-style interaction with the user interface.

Some models also include a Push-to-Talk feature, which is similar in operation to a two-way radio, and is useful for carrying on intermittent conversations of the type that often occur within offices over longer distances.

Blackberries are very popular with businesses who have a lot of roaming employees, as it offers office-style integration on the move.

The BlackBerry email system enables messages to be written and replied to in circumstances where reception is poor or intermittent, as all the information is stored inside the unit, meaning that packets of data could be sent and received as and when reception was available, with little or no adverse affect on productivity.

A handy feature of the BlackBerry is its trilateration function, which works a little like a GPS device, but without the need for connection to a satellite. It is particularly handy for bosses who need to know the whereabouts of their employees, or for finding people in busy thoroughfares that you have never met face to face before.

Vodafone stock a large mobile phone range, including Blackberry for you to chose from.

High Fidelity Systems | By Fredrick Joy

The advent of the element of High Fidelity has revolutionised the way in which we see images and hear sounds. These reproductions are devoid of any distortions and can reproduce accurately. A Hi-Fi system refers to an assembly of audio players, video players digital surround speakers and television sets. High Fidelity has been around for many decades but it is used to refer to any advanced audio or video equipment. Home theatre systems represent the latest technological advance in this field. However, it is possible for individuals to build their own equipment by selecting individual components and assembling them.

Sound and Vision - Subscription Sound & Vision is at the forefront of the ever-changing, always dynamic world of electronic entertainment. Authoritative and accessible, written with insight and humor, Sound & Vision is the preeminent source for consumers of home theater, audio, video, and multimedia products.

Every enthusiast must remember to include some components that could heighten his or her experience.

Every system is made up of

1. The play-back device

2. A set of amplifiers and

3. Loudspeakers

The play-back device is the CD player, the DVD player. Many of the systems have a player that can adapt to any sound format. The amplifiers enhance the sounds in the recordings that give listeners the high fidelity experience. Every image and sound in the original recording is converted into powerful signals which are then fed into the loud-speakers. These loud-speakers form another integral part of the system. They are equipped with a “tweeter” that can pick up sounds of a very high pitch, the mid-range speaker that can receive sounds within the range of human hearing and the bass speaker that is tuned in to receive sounds of a low range. Many hi-fi systems have sub-woofers which can pick bass sounds and reproduce them realistically. This is how a theatrical experience is created.

There are various kinds available in the market. They are the Mini, the Midi Hi-Fi systems and the Micro Hi-Fi systems. The Micro Hi-Fi systems are very compact and are available in single piece.

Power output is the next consideration. This is measured in terms of a unit called “watt” It is important to bear this point when you connect speakers to the system. The power output of the system and the speakers must be compatible.

Before you actually decide on the system, do verify all the claims made by the dealer. Listen carefully to the system when it is demonstrated. Make sure the speakers are placed properly for good audio reception. It is better to ask for a demonstration of all the competitive brands. Do make sure the price and warranty offered are fair.

If you would like to assemble your set, then check out all the accessories and study the brochure carefully. Ask the dealer for relevant reading material. These guidelines and a visit to the showroom should help you make up your mind. The system you buy should have images and sounds that cohere to recreate an enticing fantasy.
