Download Music MP3s Online - Essential Reminders

By Dan Moore

It can be very exciting if you know how to download music MP3s online. This way, you will no longer have to worry about these same types of songs that are being played over and over again on the radio. And since you already have the latest multimedia player, you can now listen to all of your favorite records even if you are at the library, at the park, in a cab, in your office, and practically wherever you want to go.

But before you download music mp3s online, it is very important for you to check if you have a hard drive. This hard drive is a physical device where you are going to store the files that you have accessed. It is a good thing that you now have a multimedia player with you. But if you still do not have the budget, then you might just want to use the memory of your personal computer.

Aside from the hared drive, there is also a need for you to consider the format of the songs. If you want to download music MP3s online, you need to check if the format is something that your player can recognize. If not, then you will still need to get yourself a format converter software piece.

The speed of the tool is also a very important thing that you should always consider. If the process is every slow, the quality of the records may be distorted. And if you want to maintain its quality, you have to make sure that the speed is fast enough.

Of course, the site that you are going to use is probably the most important thing. If you are going to search through the internet, you will notice that majority of the portals are being offered for free. And if you want to get hundreds of songs, this is probably the best option for you.

However, you need to be careful as these kinds of free portals can be very ineffective. Their databases are really not that comprehensive. And worse, some of them are even filled with various malicious programs.

If you want to be safe from all of these trouble, it is recommended that you download music MP3s online from a premium tool. This is actually better because you can expect better quality of services. They are also more reliable and effective.

The only problem is that they can be very expensive. But if you really want to effectively download music MP3s online, the cost should only be secondary to quality.

Five Reasons An Iphone May Not Be For You

By Brian Jones

The iphone was released in 2007 and almost immediately was thrust into the public limelight. Whether you love it or hate it, everyone is aware of the iphone and everyone has an opinion on it.

The most striking feature of the iphone is it's design. The button-less screen and shiny chrome cover are normally enough to persuade people to part with their hard earned money. There is more to a phone than looks and this article looks at some of flaws of the iphone and some reasons why it may not be the best purchase for you.

1. The price! - Admittedly the price of all sizes of iphone have fallen since launch, they still remain one of the most expensive phones on the market today (apart from something encrusted with diamonds!). This is mainly due to the lower number of networks it's available on and therefore reduced competition.

2. Compatibility with Microsoft Exchange - This is a huge downside for business users of the iphone. The iphone is not fully compatible with Microsoft Exchange and as a result has to check the mail server to determine if there are any new emails, rather than having the emails automatically 'pushed' to it like it's Blackberry rival. This can cause frustrating delays when receiving emails.

3. Unchangeable battery - Unlike almost every mobile phone before it, it's not possible to change the battery of an iphone. This means that you can't take a spare fully charged battery away with and instead must constantly charge your phone is it is to work. The battery life is decent enough, but many people like the peace of mind of taking a spare battery away with them.

4. Touch screen keyboard - In case you hadn't realised, the iphone doesn't have any actual keys and is completely operated from the touch screen. It is still a QWERTY touch screen but takes a long while to get used to. For some, it will be impossible to master it.

5. Poor quality camera - For the money an iphone costs, the quality of the camera is particularly poor. It's only 2 megapixels, which when rivals are bringing out 5 megapixels is a poor show. The difference in picture quality is substantial and will be more than enough to put some potential customers off.

Your devices must have a protection that must fit you. It may be a crystal clear and thin protection for you to be more confident that you have protected enough your devices.

IPhone App Reviews - Everything You Want To Know

By Eric Meister

A brand new market has recently appeared, and it is due to the release of the iPhone. The application frontier is practically monopolized by Apple as far as phone applications are concerned. While applications exist on other phones, the market has become an official market because of Apple's revolutionary product, and through this new market has come a new source of popular products to review. Here is what you need to know about iPhone app reviews.

many people do video reviews, blog reviews, etc. Now there are a plethora of persons reviewing applications for the iPhone, and for a good reason. Being a new market, many people like to see what they are getting into before they buy something new. These new somethings are applications, and to know what they are like, most people look for reviews of them, both in video and blog form. Some of these people reviewing products are from actual companies. Others have made an online channel specifically for the purposes of reviewing applications, while still others just put a review out there because they just have to let others know how good or bad a certain application really is. Iphone app reviews are generally game reviews.

For reviewing purposes, game applications on the iPhone are most prevalent. Yes, there are wonderful applications that will tell you what song you are listening to; there are digital compass applications; there are even applications that will tell you movie times in your area. But the most prevalent applications for reviewing purposes are games.

The games for the iPhone are the fastest rising market since Playstation 2 came out. Not only are there no cartridges, discs or memory cards involved, it is entirely based on a touch screen that you can bring with you anywhere you want. The graphics are all based on the skill of the developer(s).

Many games are put out by independent developers while still others are produced by major gaming companies associated with major video game consoles. Generally you can tell the difference in the games based on quality, however there are many independent producers who have put out many good games.

There are many types of games on the iPhone. There are action games, yes, but there are also simplistic word games. Sometimes, the simpler the game, the better. The simpler the game, the smoother it runs, and that is one of the most important things to take into consideration when trying to sell to an iPhone market.

Another major selling point is a lack of advertisements. This is what will make or break a review of a game, as the lite versions - watered down, shorter versions - tend to have a lot of advertisements while the full versions do not. This is a genius ploy as many people would rather buy the ad free version than sit and wade through advertisements.

Best iPhone Applications

By Ben Techsson

One of the fun things about iPhone is the fact that there are loads of applications you can choose from and install them on your iPhone. All you need to do is check out iPhone app store that looks like a geek's paradise. Because there are so many different applications available it can be difficult for a newbe to choose and decide what he wants to try out. So here I will give you a few ideas or starting points athe the best iPhone applications.

There are apps for every individual taste, but some will appeal to everybody, like, for instance, iDoodle: everyone doodles to waste time, to de-stress or simply because they feel like it, and now your iPhone can give you the perfect environment to do so.

If you are watching your diet then Calorie Counter is a must. Calorie Counter will calculate how many calories did you have in a day, how many do you need and how many calories you should have if you want to lose or gain weight. Your small personal reminder or a guilty conscience right in your pocket.

The next one can really save you some money. When you are shopping simply type in the bar code number of the item you want to buy in to BarCheck iPhone application. BarCheck will search the online stores including Amazon and will give you prices for the same item. Is the store you are in expensive? Get out!

Drinking and driving is not a good idea. So if you like to party hard and have a few drinks install the next iPhone application - Can I Drive Yet?. Can I Drive Yet? will calculate if you are legally allowed to drive - it will calculate your blood alcohol levels. You just need to type in the number and type of drinks, your age, height and weight into the iPhone and Can I Drive Yet? will give you the answer.

I am sure that I will not miss much if I say that games are the most popular category in iPhone apps store. So not to offend any die hard gamers I will just list a few classics that stood the test of time. Install the following games Sudoku, Castle Feud, Mines and SpeedType.

After, just browse around, and I am sure that you will find a game to your liking.

If you do your shopping on eBay that install iBay and stay in touch with the latest news from the products you are bidding on.

Or you can stay in touch with reality with the help of Budget Buster, which helps you keep an eye on your expenses by day, week and month. If thats not going to get you to tone down your expenses, nothing will.

OK, so the list is finished. But you do not need to stop here, as I said the iPhone apps store if full of applications that will help you get the most out of your iPhone experience.

iPhone Lost Prototype Tale Gets A Little Weirder

By Matt Jones

The next generation of iPhone that by hook or by crook disappeared in the Bay Area bar before finally resurfacing in a gizmodo.com story is now heading back to Apple.

How this device went missing will certainly take some time to get answered. How does an apple insider come to misplace or loose a device? Drinking... really?

According to the Gizomodo article, Gray Powell who is an engineer at Apple spent some time in beer garden in Redwood. After a few beverages, he left the California water hole and forgot to bring the device with him.

After discovering the device, the patron at the California watering hole did not return it but rather took it home. They apparently had ever intention of returning it and even managed to locate the Apple Engineer's Facebook page. However, because of the delay, the phone was wiped clean, a feature that MobileMe offers in case of phone theft of loss.

The story outlines the details of Powell, including both photos and biographical information. This information was apparently taken from both Facebook and Flickr pages. The one thing that it didn't mention is that the finder was paid $5k for finding it. That bit of information was reported by both the Times and the AP.

Apple of course instantly requested that the phone be returned and this request was eventually met. One has to wonder however, how a company which has been so secretive about new technology could be allowing for employees to be wandering around with such a device outside of secured zones.

Apple developers in the past have been seen around town sporting new software versions on their iPhones. However, because these phones were using newer software and not showcasing new hardware mere password protection would make them secure. Discovering one of these phones in a bar would not stir too much debate.

In contrast, the iPad was stored in a blacked out room and had to be tethered to a stationary object. It was going nowhere. Developers who were okd to work on this device labored under extremely secure conditions.

Regardless of what goes on there are things that are going to happen and there are mistakes that are going to be made. Whether this was an actual version or just a decoy is yet to be seen.

Ultimate Protection

By Bill Smith

In this world, as of today, is in competition. All is into a contest, a contest wherein everything is competing for glory. Survival is the main purpose for the animals' competition. Even the advancements on our modern technology is the type of competition wherein they are at a fast pace to be the best and popular. Years ago modern technology made easier our lives. Today, it is a way of competing, for people are getting more jealous and insecure to others who have the most attractive piece of technology. Jealousy made things go more under quality or we call it as "substandard".

The insecurity made by jealousy has gotten more worst for it made people realize that making their own glory for their own benefit is by imitating the widely known products. They are only using the name but not the quality of the product. On the other hand, consumers prefer the price rather than prioritizing the quality of the product. This has made a tough decision by the original manufacturers to make an attractive product rather than qualitative products.

Jealousy among people makes this world imperfect. But what can we do? The fact that people are getting more jealous to each other, we cannot deny it, all we can do is to accept it. We cannot change the people's vision. As long as we are attracted of those things, we do not mind of what we are looking at.

Just like the protection for your electronic devices, they need the most reliable protection for them not to break out easily. They will need the best quality protection for them not to experience those easy to reach damages, most likely from scratches. Other protective skins promises to protect your phone from scratches but after a while you will have to purchase another one for it broke apart. Your electronic devices need a lifetime protection for them to keep themselves into shape.

As a consumer, we need the durable protection for our gadgets that would last a lifetime and that will always be a protection and not just an accessory. If possible we could demand for the one that will "heal" itself when it is damaged. It will be the ultimate protective skin which will protect our gadgets from scratches, dust and most of all it adds durability of our gadget. This protective skin might not be attractive but it will surely make the electronic device look more like brand new.

Get Your Free iPhone Online With Referrals

By Kendra Lackey

Ever wonder how sites that offer free gadgets like a free iPhone or a free gaming console are able to give these things out for free? The answer is simple. The more people sign up for the offers on these sites, the more chances they have of making money and the extra money they make from these people is more than enough to cover the expenses of giving people free gadgets and phones.

The premise of this referral system is simple and it's a logical way for people to get more friends to know about their site. Its like a snow ball effect.

Usually, these referral programs involve paying a small sum for a certain offer or service that the site has and this small sum is often below the $20 mark, something that a lot of people see as worth it if they are to get a $400 phone for free. When you first register, you will often be asked to choose an offer to avail of in order for you to qualify for the free iPhone giveaway and for you to rake in the points to be able to have that phone shipped to you the soonest, you should get more people to sign up and do these same offers with the use of a link that is exclusively yours.

This link that you are given can be used on your social networking site for you to get friends and acquaintances to sign up, do the offers and to make them eligible for a free iPhone as well. This then continues on with more people doing the same thing and more people getting free gadgets simply because they registered on these sites, paid a few dollars for an offer that they can also make use of and get other people to pay up and do the same. With this increase in traffic and with the possibility of people getting more than just the basic offer on these partner sites that you find, these sites that give you free stuff for referrals get more than enough cash flowing into their company to cover the expenses that they may have for giving out these $400 phones.

Another thing you can also try is to get family members to register as your referrals to see if these sites do give you points towards a free phone. If you do not get the points that are promised to you with these referrals, then you may be trying in vain to get yourself a free phone or gadget from a scam site.

Aquapac Waterproof Headphones: Your Perfect Gadget for Summer

By Charlie Smith

There has always been a place for music in the human civilization since time immemorial. It has served a number of purposes ranging from relaxation, entertainment to simply fighting boredom or passing time. For whatever reason, people always try to add music to their daily activities. There is no longer a necessity for people to go to concerts or use their elaborate sound systems at home to quench their thirst for music. Our technological evolution has made it possible for us to enjoy music wherever we may be from the old portable radio, walkman and portable CD players to the more modern iPod.

The iPod is often used by people to listen to music while their on the road or even when they are exercising. There is no doubt that a good inspirational tune could give you a lift of energy while working out, having a long travel on the road or in a flight. At present, with the advent of waterproof cases and headphones, it is even possible to listen to your portable music devices even when swimming or underwater. The makers of Aquapac waterproof headphones had just those purposes in mind.

The Makers. These headphones are made by a company called Aquapac. It is based in London, England and has been in the business of making high quality waterproof protective cases for the past 27 years. Their product-line includes dry bags, camera cases, cellphone cases, iPod cases and the recent waterproof headphones.

The Design. Aquapac waterproof headphones have an in-the-ear design. As the name suggests, it is waterproof. It has a nickel-plated connector which is rustproof and may be used with iPods, portable CD players and any type of music player which has a standard headphone output. It comes with extra ear buds and a headphone buoy to keep it when not in use.

It also has a silicon tip which acts as a seal in the ears to keep the water from soaking through. These silicon tips are very solid and are very effective in preventing any water seepage unless they are removed on purpose or otherwise. However, since this is likely to happen when one is moving in the water, the ideal waterproof headsets should be completely impermeable by water. These headphones are ideal for activities in the water such as boating, swimming and snorkeling.

The silicon tips in the headphones are relied upon to create a seal in the ears to avert water from seeping through. The stiffness and solid design of the silicon tips is effective in preventing water intrusion unless the ear buds are removed on its own or is in any way removed. Since this is very possible when one is actively moving in water, the perfect waterproof earphones should be insusceptible to any form of water exposure.

Although, the name would give the implication that it is completely waterproof, the headphones cannot be submerged on its own under water since it would cause the sound to become muffled. It should always be placed on the ears to protect it from the water. However, a light dab with a dry towel would restore it to its normal sound.

As a final word, Aquapac waterproof headphones may be very valuable to those seeking to use their music players in the water. It is yet another example of ingenuity and the continuous desire for portability and comfort. We should expect better headphone designs in the near future.

Comparing The Apple IPhone With The Motorola Droid - Beyond The Obvious

By Tim Kalen

Coverage: The guy with the glasses or Luke Wilson?

Apple iPhone and Motorola Droid comparisons were being made even before we knew what the Droid was. But beyond the features and functions of the phones themselves, the iPhone / Droid debate cannot begin without first discussing AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless themselves. When choosing any device for any carrier your primary concern should be your coverage area signal strength. Still, with all the "app" and "map" commercials out there, it may be hard to distinguish which one will be better for your needs. If you want a device just to place calls, then you may want to stick with Verizon's service. Those maps don't lie, their coverage area is superb! It's no wonder they have great call clarity. Conversely, AT&T currently has the most dropped calls of all the networks.

Just like in football, where it's the kicker's job to kick the ball, it's the cell phone carrier's job to provide phone coverage. But with the recent Verizon and AT&T commercial media battles, who's to know which company is telling the truth. Hands down Verizon has the best call quality and service. It is what they have stood by from the beginning, "Can you hear me now?" AT&T doesn't compare to Verizon's call service, but they make up for it in their superb data coverage, thanks in large part to the iPhone. But don't just take my word for it, take it from me and my friends! I did a review with a group of my friends who are spread out all over the continental U.S., with an equal amount of iPhone and Droid users.

My own cell phone career has led me to sign up with all the major carriers at one point or another, except T-Mobile who always seems to be a bit behind in technology and equipment, but they were rated as having the highest customer service ranking. My group of tech friends, made up of equal amounts of iPhone and Droid users, have similar stories so we probably are as good a random sample as Gallup Poll or any other company can find.

The results are below.

This is how we rated each carrier according to voice coverage:

1.) Verizon Wireless 2.) Sprint 3.) T-Mobile 4.) AT&T Wireless

We ranked data coverage as follows:

1.) AT&T Wireless 2.) Sprint 3.) T-Mobile 4.) Verizon Wireless

Equipment: To touch, or not to touch (screen)

Before beginning let me say that I do realize that when it comes down to it, using a touch keypad or full QWERTY keyboard is a matter of what the individual user is more comfortable with, but a more objective debate centers around the touch screen itself, and how they are NOT all the same.

There are actually two types of widely used touch screen technologies. The most innovative one is used by the Apple iPhone 3Gs and is called the "capacitive" touch screen. It works by recognizing the electrical properties of your finger to locate where you are touching the screen. This makes the capacitive screen much more sensitive and responsive to movement on the screen itself. The second type of screen is pressure sensitive. Thus referred to as a "resistive" touch screen. It works by stacking multiple thin layers beneath the touch screen. When pressure is applied on the face of the screen it causes these layers to come into contact, telling the phone where you are on the screen.

The Motorola Droid's QWERTY keyboard is quite standard in function. Although critics will point out how it makes the Droid more heavy and bulky. Proponents of the keyboard are happy to make a little sacrifice to have an actual physical keyboard.

No matter what manufacturers continue to crank out, the iPhone 3Gs is still the standard by which all other smart phones are judged. The Droid came out with a ton of media hype and it has proven itself worthy to be in the same room with the iPhone, though not usurping it in any way. However, until the Apple iPhone is officially available on the other networks it will continue to be judged not only on its own merits, but that of AT&T Wireless as well. I guess that means we'll still be seeing a lot of Luke Wilson in the near future.

As technology advances, cell phones are becoming less popular as smart phones are taking over the attention and interest of consumers. Most modern cell phones will give you everything you need but smart phones like the iPhone 3GS offer so much more in terms of functionality, design, as well as entertainment. But what really makes the iPhone 3GS so popular to consumers? Is it the sleek design? Is it the numerous applications? Is it the wide array of capabilities that are placed on your hands? Maybe it's that futuristic feel of using your fingers to control all the functions on the phone.

The continued popularity of this phone for over two years since the introduction of its predecessor is significant. Why does this phone remain the top selling phone in its category? It quickly rose above the competition in the smart phone market and has remained there.

The iPhone 3gs sports the same look but you still can't help but admit that the phone is still as appealing as it was two years ago. What has changed with this model is the addition of extra features and functionality improvements.

I like to listen to music and watch videos on my smart phone; this is one of the reasons this phone remains so popular. What are the specifications? They haven't changed much; TFT capacitive touch screen, accelerometer, 320x480 pixels, proximity sensor, multi touch input method, 16M colors and scratch resistant surface. These are all things you probably have become familiar with a handful of added features.

Consumesr love how the iPhone 3GS interface works with the multi- touch technology. They can flip through their music collections, pinch to enlarge or minimize photos, and save all their text messages in one page. The virtual keyboard is also easy to use although it takes some time to getting used to.

When it comes to the applications available for download, you'll never run out of options as well as the Apple and 3rd party developers are always coming up with new ones. Social networking site addicts for example can take advantage of the free chat box for PC and iPhone/iPod touch application called iChatbox, allowing for easy registration, login, and easy connection to friends, family and other iPhone users. They can also connect to Facebook and Myspace with a touch of a screen.

So those are the reasons why the iPhone 3GS is still popular in the smart phone market. The apps, functionality, interface, and features all come together to make it one of the best phones ever created. In addition, Apple has a strong following of loyal customers that keep up with all the company's releases, which gives them the company's products free publicity.
