Since buying an iPod Touch, I’ve been seeking ways to integrate the device into our media system. Being a Microsoft Windows Media Center user, you wouldn’t think this would be very easy but as it turns out, there are several options that will not only allow you to stream content to a Touch/iPhone but remote control your HTPC as well. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of apps available to turn your portable device into a full use remote control. I’ve used two so far and you’ll find all …

While Apple may shun CES in favor of their own show later in January, that isn’t going to stop Scosche, one of the better know accessory makers, from showing off at the annual event starting on January 7th.
Scosche is bringing a great range of products to the show including the tapSTICK, a protective cover for the Shuffle with a three-button design for playback.
The company will also be bringing the reviveLITE II, an iPhone/iPod charger which features an additional USB port for charging additional devices. The reviveLITE II also …

Apparently the iPhone is a niche product. At least according to Napster it is. The company is looking to dethrone Spotify in The UK and thinks that pricing is all they need. With new plans starting at £5, half of what Spotify charges for premium service, Napster is hoping that no ads and the ability to keep five tracks a month will draw users.
Where the problem comes in is that other than the five tracks you get to keep, the £5/month Napster plan will only let you listen …

If you’re one of the millions of iPhone or iPod Touch users out there who also happens to use Windows Media Center at home, your life just may have gotten a bit easier.
Kumatek announced earlier this week that Apple has approved the Ncontrol app for their touch devices. Ncontrol will allow you to use your iPhone or Touch as a remote control for your Media Center as well as extenders.
Not being an iPhone or iPod Touch owner, I can’t say how well the app works but it’s nice to …

Filed under the “who would ever need this” category comes the Parasync 20 iPod/iPhone charger and sync station. Why any individual would ever need a device like this is beyond me but I have to say that after thinking about it for awhile, I guess if your business decides to provide all of the employees with iPhones which remain on company property it could come in handy. Of course then you have to ask why you’re providing your employees with phones that have to stay in the building, but …

Awhile back there was a story about Creative shooting an application across the FCC’s big desk. Now it appears as though they have something to actually show us.
The Creative Zii Egg has launched and you can have a 32GB version for around $400 but don’t look for it to be the perfect portable media player. That $400 is covering the SDK, the device is free. The touch-screen, HD device is a developers edition that Creative is hoping developers will run with.
The Android driven device features multi-touch, HD video playback …

It seems that you can now buy your music just like your dad did back in the 70s. Kinda.
iTunes is now offering you the chance to pick up what they’re calling D45’s. Sold just like the 45 RPM records of old, you get two tracks. A single and then some type of B-side track from the artist. Taking a quick look, there are packs from Prince, Van Halen, Rod Stewart, The Doors, and a slew of others. All mainly older groups that you young Whipper-Snappers probably never heard of.
