We’ve put together an application for both the Apple and Android platforms.  Both are free and while they’re not perfect yet, we’ll be working to improve them in the future.  There are just a few issues that need ironing out but using it myself, I find …

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 …

Yep, I did it.  A certified Microsoft fanboy went against everything he believes and bought an iPod Touch.  I’ve moved towards the darkside and while it hurts a bit, there are reasons for it.  I thought this would be a good opportunity to, not review the Touch, but explain how people’s views can change and the reasons behind it.  First is a little history.
I’ve been a Zune owner since the Zune80 was released.  I liked the fact that it was from MS since I use a lot of their …

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 …

For years I have been slowly building up a multi-zone audio system in my home. The first system I had was based off of my Yamaha AV receiver that had a second zone output, to which I used to feed speakers in my garage. Later on I expanded that to also feed audio into my kitchen/living room area, but was still only based off of two audio sources so the garage and living room still only played the same audio. In those early days I really only had three audio …

It seems like there isn’t a day that goes by now without someone coming out with more “leaked” ZuneHD info.  I’ve been holding off on posting more about it since there’s a lot of speculation here but the fact is that confirming reports are starting to come in along with pictures that make things look less like rumors and more like fact.
First there was the pricing leak from Best Buy.  Apparently this has been backed up by a listing on Amazon.com for the 16 and 32GB versions that match …

It looks like Gizmodo, who’s been all over the ZuneHD so far, might have some solid intel on pricing.  It seems the site was able to grab some screenshots detailing the pricing info on the 16 and 32GB devices.  Not only that but the shots, if accurate, would become the 3rd peice of evidence pointing to a September 8th launch date.
With the 16GB showing $219 and the 32GB at $289, that puts the price under current iPod Touch pricing.  Something Microsoft is probably banking on to help cut into …

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 …

Seems that Samsung is getting ready to start using that Nvidia Tegra chip we’ve been hearing about.  The same one that will power the ZuneHD apparently.
The Samsung Yepp was discovered on the company’s Korean website and the specs are running right inline with my next personal must have gadget.  The Samsung R1 and M1 will each feature a 3.3 inch OLED touch screen, Bluetooth audio, Divx playback as well as an integrated voice recorder and microSD expansion slot.  In fact, although I can’t read Korean, the only difference I …

It seems that we don’t have to wait for Creative to announce their new portable media player.  Filings with the FCC show a bit of detail and it looks as though the company is getting ready to go head to head against the iPod Touch and the forthcoming ZuneHD.
The device shows a music and video player, will sport and HD camera and support wi-fi B and G.  A, what is not becoming standard, touch screen is a give-in.
All that’s available so far is a rough outline of the device …
