Here’s a set of iPod video (30GB and 60GB) cases which are hard and durable. With this case, you need not worry about screen cracks or scratches as your iPod is totally encased. The drawback is that you will have no access to your iPod’s scroll wheel and screen; which simply means, no songs selection, no volume control and no video!
The TinPods currently feature illustrations by Kurt Ketchum who is a renowned illustrator based in Rochester, New York. All these TinPod designs are actual paintings by Kurt who believes in blurring the lines between art and graphics. According to Kollective.de, they are starting off with these 3 designs as limited editions – more designs are expected to arrive.
If you want to do your bit for charity; for every TinPod that you purchase, a dollar will be donated to CityArts charity. The TinPod is available in 3 designs (L’Orange Lune, Change Attitude and Die Blechdose) and is priced at $16.95 each or $29.95 for two.
My PowerBook is like my little baby. And like all babies, I will tend to them carefully, making sure that they are protected in every way possible (money consenting). One of the many ways to protect my PowerBook is through the use of sleeves.
Sleeves such as Glovez by Case-mate which is made of ultra soft neoprene material ensures that my PowerBook will not be scratched during transportation. On the exterior, the peforated nylon adds a touch of modernization and the double Velcro on the flaps add on to the security. To further strengthen the edges, every sleeve is marked with leather piping to avoid the materials from tearing or fraying.
Measuring 15″ x 11″ x 0.9″, the Glovez comes in 3 choices of colors; Mocha Brown, Metallic Silver and Phantom Black. These sleeves are retailed at $24.99 and is available from Case Mate’s store.
This is an onslaught of the iPod earbuds that, in my opinion, remain crappy. Just like I mentioned in the previous post, using iPod earbuds with your precious iPod is akin to driving a Ferrari using wooden wheels.
If you want to continue using the default earbuds from Apple and yet would like to enjoy your music at a higher level, you may want to consider Griffin’s EarJams. This product looks like an in-ear extension that snaps onto your iPod earbuds; funneling the music directly into your ear and increases the sound volume by 10 decibels. Using the EarJams, you will experience a higher level of improved sound and bass; comfortable wear of the iPod earbuds.
The EarJams comes with 3 earpads sizes and can be purchased for $19.99 available from Griffin Technologies or from Amazon at $6.99 (press time).
Many iPod owners will realize sooner or later that the original iPod earbuds that is supplied when purchased is crappy and kills music. This is the case of yours truly. Listening to music on an iPod using those hideous earbuds is akin to driving a Ferarri using wooden wheels.
If you really want to draw the full potential of your iPod and really want to listen to music as it should be, do yourself a favor and get one of these Sony MDR-EX71SL Fontopia. These earphones comes with an extension cable for longer reach and 3 earpieces so as to allow the owner to find a comfortable fit.
These earphones fit into your ear canal and does in fact block off external noise allowing music to then flow in all its majesty into your eardrums.
Here’s how to increase your PowerBook AirPort wireless network range and speed by two to three times. And do so without any additional cables, wires or special connectivities. Do you need just that extra few yards so that you can work in your garden under the beautiful and inviting gazebo? That extra yards to work from the comfort of your study? If you are looking for that extra yards, look no further than QuickerTek’s PowerBook Connects (PBConnect).
The PBConnect is a high-powered antenna that is placed on your Mac to give you that extra distance and speed (The PBConnect has 200mW of RF power compared to PowerBook’s 20mW). Installation is a breeze and all you need to do is switch it on and surf away. There is no hardwiring required and therefore, no clutter or mess. However, you will need power to power up the PBConnect either through AC adapter, USB cable or the internal battery.
