1). A Parent’s Guide to Cellular Phones
The United States of America is home to over 200 million cell phone users, with the fastest growing segment being young people. Whether your teenagers are already asking for a mobile phone or whether they just plan to start shortly, odds are good that you will have to choose whether or not to get them a phone, as well as which make, model, and service plan.
2). Better late than never?
Have you ever sat back and wondered about the corporate decisions made by the executives at Microsoft? Well, I certainly have. It never ceases to amaze me how utterly clueless these people are. The blogosphere has been ablaze this week, with the news that Microsoft is entering the portable MP3 player market. One pundit or another is claiming that the new Microsoft Zune will be the ultimate iPod killer.
3). Media Extenders and the Wired (or Wireless) Home
If you’ve been online reading lately about digital home entertainment equipment, a phrase that you may be seeing more frequently is “media extender”. This refers to a device that essentially “extends” the reach of another media source such as a DVD player.
The more common usage of this term is describing a Media Center Extender, which refers to a device that lets you stream features from a PC that is running Windows Media Center 2005 to other devices such as televisions, radios, and personal audio players.
4). MP3 Players – Many Capable Underdogs vs. the 800-lb. Gorilla
Anyone lover of gadgets and portable electronics knows what an Ipod is – and in fact, many people who have no interest in personal electronics know exactly what they are. With over 21 million units shipped, and over 75 per cent of the personal Digital Audio Player (DAP) market worldwide, it’s no surprise – Apple Computer Inc. has become the 800-lb. gorilla of portable music players.
