The Phenom Phone Watch

The watches industry is truly something. Just when you think that you heard about them all another one appears. This was exactly the case with this Phenom Phone Watch. We do know that there are a lot of similar gadgets on the market but this one stands out a little, especially due to the design. It makes you want to take a closer look at the Phenom Phone Watch. We are basically talking about a phone and a watch, all put into one (even if most phones out there also have watches).

The Phenom Phone Watch does not offer many fascinating features. It comes with a touchscreen display (1.3 inches with 260000 pixels), included bluetooth, radio,mp3, wav, mp4, gif, jpg and midi support, a camera of 1.3 megapixels and other features you would expect from a basic mobile phone. On the whole we can say that this gadget is a lot more than others on the market but the biggest problem still remains: why would you need a mobile phone watch when you can have a watch and a mobile phone? Still, if you are considering the Phenom Phone Watch you should know that you have to get ready to pay $295 for it.

Cool Glass Speakers Kenwood SP0001

Most speakers you can buy are basically made out of plastic. In most cases we are talking about a speaker that does not attract us. There are only a few out there that are really special. One of them is Kenwood SP0001, a speaker system that is made out of glass. To make everything really simple, this system is really attractive. It would be perfect in the home of every single person that loves cool gadgets. The Kenwood SP0001 comes in 2 versions: one with extra LED lights and the other without them. Unfortunately there is one big downside. Even if these speakers are not really powerful (just 10 W per each speaker), the Kenwood SP0001 costs a nifty $1,000. HMMM, that is a little too much for us but considering the fact that you will mostly find it in Japan, it might be successful.

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 mate
