Did You Know The New iPods Can Do All Of This?

Each new model that has been introduced has shown marked improvement over the last and they have also increased in the number of sizes and colors available while simultaneously offering more storage and download capacity. The intensity of the sound experience simply must be heard to be believed. Just in case you haven't been paying attention lately, here are some of the new cool things the iPod can do.

The all new click wheel will allow you to control a variety of functions with one finger, the shuffle mode from the top of the wheel will allow you to randomize your music play and you can operate the play, stop, pause, forward, and rewind all from the click wheel.

If you want to transfer files to your computer from your portable device you can find hidden files by right clicking on iPod and then choosing tools, and then options. Once in the control panel, select view tab, click hidden files, then show hidden files which will then make all of your files viewable. Now you can move music to your computer that you have bought.

A functional stopwatch is also included with a time zone clock utility. The device also has an iTunes control at the lower part of the screen that allows you to fast-forward and rewind as well as pick your play list and add songs to your favorites. A function also exists to allow you to back up and restore which lets you move your entire library. If you have a Mac you can use the preinstalled text to speech program to transfer any document or webpage into an MP3.

You can also perform synching functions from the menu bar which will let you synch you calendars, address book, pictures and more. If you opt for the optional dock you can use it as a remote control for your iPod and listen to your tunes all over the house through your TV or stereo.

Another really cool feature that I like a lot is the audio books availability allowing you to download books from over 9,000 titles and synch them with your computer. If you are buying the unit for a child, there are even built in parental controls so that you can put limits on what podcasts and music your child is able to access. With the all new iPod there has never been an easier way to access multiple forms of entertainment from audi books to photos.

Why is there no FM Radio For iPhone

iPhones have great amount of features and have tools that are way ahead of standard cell phone. Add this together with its ease of use and great styling, you have a winner. It also comes with the best of Web 2.0 display and toys.

In fact, the iPhone has many things going for it, but does it have FM radio for iPhone? But for some reason when apple were adding the digital camera, web access to Google maps and all the other cool features, the FM radio was not on the list

"Old school?"

Actually the main reason why there is no FM radio for iPhone is that today, the interest in FM radio is less than in the past. The Internet and TV are dominating the market for eyeballs. This is especially true when you consider the target market Apple is aiming at - young people with disposable income.

After all, it is not the fifties or sixties when radio was central to entertainment and information distribution. Now days the Internet is the first step for most people looking to find out information.

Another possible reason why there is no FM radio for iPhone is that the radio is not a very personable device. It can be a disruptive influence in our lives rather an asset. Of course, if the iPhone had been around when the Sony walkman was invented, chances are that there would certainly have been a radio.

In fact, the Sony walkman had become popular with the public before a radio was added to it. This lack of a radio in the original Walkman can be seen as a reason why manufacturers have not included FM radio for iPhone.

Still, you might wonder if the iPhone can have Internet connectivity, then why is there no FM radio? After all, the iPhone is multi-media should have indeed been included. The answer to this may lie in the fact that there is always iTunes to listen to and thus there is really no need.

However, it is only Apple that can best answer that question. The reasons for omitting this feature would no doubt be due to practicality or maybe lack of need. However, consumers have yet to be informed by Apple regarding and so we can only guess as to the reason why.

A Mobile with exclusive Features - Apple iPhone

apple i phone
Apple's iPhone has evoked unprecedented response in the United States and the rest of the world. The Time magazine declared the iPhone as the Invention of the Year 2007. There are many speculations that the iPhone will be launched in India as well. Some media reports reveal that the phone may feature at Reliance Retail stores. Though many claim that the phone is already available in the grey market, there is still a wait for those who want the phone through legitimate channels.

Initial results in the United States are encouraging. Here, Apple has a 28 percent market share, which is way ahead of the 21 percent share that other Windows Mobile powered smart phones have between them. Furthermore, despite lower iPhone sales in Europe as expected by Apple, iPhone has moved into 5th position there.


According to Pete Cunningham, senior analyst, Canalys, considering limited operator and country coverage, Apple has shown that it can make a difference, which has sent a wake-up call to the market leaders in the mobile phone industry. Moreover, research by Canalys shows that Apple has leaped to the third place in the global smart phone market by selling 2,321,000 iPhones worldwide, providing it a 6.5 percent share, regardless of having gone on sale only in June 2007.


Rolling along, the iPhone is an attractive phone to look at. Also, it has a range of brilliant options and innovative designs. However, the iPhone comes locked to a single operator, which means that if you want the phone, you also need to sign a contract with the carrier as well.


For example, you might wonder that if you purchased an iPhone in the USA, you might want to know if it will work here in India. The answer is that purchasing an iPhone in the United States gets you into an iPhone specific contract with the American operator - AT&T, so the phone will not work in India, as it is locked to AT&T in the United States.


Surely, many individuals in India will be curious and inquisitive about the iPhone. The first look at an iPhone reveals its extraordinary small size. It is only 11 mm thick with a high-resolution 3.5in touch screen and it weighs only about 135 grams. Unexpectedly, there is no keyboard, because Apple created a virtual keyboard that gets displayed on the screen. It houses very few buttons on the body, and they too are flush with the design. The home button is an exception because it is discreetly placed on the front of the phone.


There's every thing in the iPhone that you can virtually dream of. It is a wide screen iPod, mobile phone, and internet communications device that includes a television, movie player, computer phone, GPS, camera, and iPod - all bundled into one. Apple has utilized the magic of technology to integrate all this in one single device and present it to the 21st century generation. There's so much in this 11 mm wonder.


Let's examine some additional features that the iPhone has. It comes bundled with a host of options like with a 2-megapixel camera, headphone jack, sleep/wake switch, speaker and microphone. Besides this, there's a SIM card slot that is located at the top of the phone. Connectivity frills include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and support for EDGE technology.


The sleekness of the phone instantly draws your attention and you at once would like to feel it. The entire phone is completely touch activated, which means that you point a finger to an icon and touch the screen to launch the relevant program. This makes navigation an easy task on this phone considering the number of applications and the overall functionality of this phone.


With the help of navigation, there's no need to punch buttons or frantically search and dial numbers. You just touch the number or the name of the person, and voila! You can connect to that person in a jiffy. The iPhone also allows you to merge calls in conference mode. Instead of going through all the voice mails one by one, the iPhone innovatively lets you see all the messages and decide which one you want to listen to.


The iPod constituent of the phone allows you to listen to over 16 hours of music in one single charge. The selection of songs is also simple, since you just point to the song to activate it. The iPhone is also a mini internet computer that makes use of the Safari Browser. This browser fully includes a built in Google and Yahoo search. At the same time, it can also access email and read a webpage alongside.


People in India will still have to wait to lay their hands on an official version of the phone. Across the world, the iPhone has been dubbed as a revolutionary phone. However none of the features that it supports are new to the mobile phone market. The revolution is in how Apple has combined all this information into the iPhone for the users to create a new experience that will propel this notion forward. Certainly, the aesthetic beauty of the product is going to reflect positively on Apple's earnings!

iPhone Wonderscape - Enhance Your iPhone with Media Downloads

You may be asking yourself why I chose to help advertise iPhone Nova. Well, I know for a fact iPhone Nova is the BEST source of iPhone downloads. If you're looking for movies, music, e-books, TV shows, or sports shows, you will find it through iPhone Nova.

It's extremely simple to receive instant access to iPhone Nova's HUGE media database! Instead of having to pay for each download or pay a monthly fee, you only have to pay a ONE TIME payment of $49.95!

Now, you may be thinking to yourself that's too much money for media downloads. Think about it! Wal-Mart sells music files for $0.99 a piece. On average, I download around fifty songs a month. If I were to pay $0.99 for each song, I would be garnishing my wages!

iPhone Nova's layout is EXTREMELY user friendly, the website is fast, and you have unlimited options to choose from! By visiting my website (iPhone Wonderscape), I can link you to iPhone Nova's page. Also, I found the 24 hour tech support to be an absolute help. They respond quickly and go into detail for you--iPhone Nova truly cares about its customers.

Why continue spending money on media for your iPhone without getting your money's worth? You know the saying "you get what you pay for." Sometimes, that isn't always the case. If you REALLY want to get what you pay for, use iPhone Nova as your iPhone media source!

I give iPhone Nova 4 stars out of 5. I guarantee you will be absolutely satisfied with your investment--I know I am!

How does an iPod Work?

An iPod is a portable device that is used to play audio files of MP3 or AAC format. Released in 2001, the iPod’s of today come in a variety of shapes and sizes with varying storage capacities, right from the 512MB iPod Shuffle to the 160 GB iPod Classic! IPod’s are compatible with PCs running Windows 2000 or Windows XP and Macintosh computers running Mac OS X. here is more on how iPod’s work!

IPod’s started off as portable music players, but today they can be used to play movies, view photos, play games, store text documents, set reminders and can also be used as an alarm clock! A regular iPod uses a tiny hard disk for storage; however the iPod Shuffle uses a kind of memory known as flash memory. Unlike regular computer memory, flash memory is much faster; uses less power and does not get reset on being switched off. Content is transferred from your Computer to your iPod using a USB cable.

IPod and iTunes
The best part about the iPod is its simplicity. All iPod’s are completely integrated with iTunes. ITunes is a software created by Apple, which is used to add and remove, content from an iPod. This happens automatically without any intervention from the user. With iTunes you can "rip" music from CD’s into MP3 or AAC formats to your computer.

When your iPod is connected to your PC, iTunes automatically updates your music library, keeping track of how often you played a song and also adds new songs and play lists to your iPod. An iPod can also be used on multiple computers; however synchronization occurs only in 1 direction. You cannot transfer songs from your iPod to a computer. However, the iPod can be used as a hard-drive to transfer data over different computers but will not be able to play this data.

Supported Audio Formats
The iPod can play AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format in addition to standard MP3 audio format. Audio files in ACC format being smaller and of the same quality as compared to MP3 files, makes song management on your iPod much quicker. In addition to this, iTunes comes with a built in converter that is capable of converting most audio format to MP3 or AAC.

Skip Protection
The iPod is designed for people with an active lifestyle. It is compact and light enough to take with you wherever you go. In addition to the hard drive, the iPod has a memory cache, which is made up of solid-state memory. Therefore, it has no mechanical or moving parts and is not affected by movement of the device. The iPod offers up to 20 minutes of skip protection, so whether it’s walking or mountain climbing u can do so without skipping a beat!

Non-Music Features
Videos – The iPod can be used to play videos in MPEG-4 or H.264 codecs. Adding videos to your iPod can be a little inconvenient as the above formats are not easily available. But never fear there’s a wide range of video converters available for free on the Internet.

Audio Books – The iPod can also play Audio books very conveniently. When you have stopped listening, it keeps track of the exact point and chapter that you were on, so you can resume listening from where you left off. Most players do not come with this feature and users are left searching for the point they left off. In addition to this there is also an option to play audio books faster than normal the normal rate, which is pretty useful when there’s a lot of material.
So people that’s all that there’s to know about the working of your iPod.

Cell Phone—Apple’s New Market

Apple, the company that began the computer revolution, has remained a key player in the technology race. After all, we are talking about the company that introduced the iPod into the world. However, despite their leading role in the technology world, Apple has failed to establish their territory in the mobile phone industry—that is, until now. Now, Apple’s cell phone is quickly becoming one of the hippest and most desired new devices available.

Steve Jobs’ announcement at the January 2007 MacWorld conference that an Apple cell phone, better known as an iPhone, was in the process of being developed inspired excitement and anticipation throughout the world. The idea of a device that has the ability to double as both a cell phone and an iPod was awe-inspiring. Prior to the release of Apple’s cell phone, there was a lot of press and media hype surrounding the functions, capabilities, and price of the iPhone. By the time the gadget was actually released on June 29, 2007, consumers were lining up to purchase their own Apple cell phone.

The device, which is approximately the size of an iPod nano, comes in three colors thus far: black, white, and platinum. More colors and visual options could be in the gadget’s future. The Apple cell phone has the ability to do much more than simply play music and make phone calls. With an iPhone, the user can text message, take pictures, surf the Internet, watch movies and videos, send and receive mail, and store iTunes. Some wonder how such a small device can do so much, and others simply appreciate the technology they have right at their fingertips.

The Apple cell phone doesn’t come cheap—the hand held device costs $500-$600, depending on the amount of memory you choose to purchase. Many feel that the iPhone is worth this price, while other consumers choose to wait for Apple to work out the cell phone’s glitches before purchasing it. It was only a matter of time before Apple introduced a cell phone to the world. With a loyal fan base and nothing to lose, creating the iPhone has proven to be a good business decision.
