FINDING MY RELIGION, DEVICE-AGNOSTICISM

Opinion 0


How excited I was to dream of Pages living in the Apple-lined cloud where I could create and edit my documents from anywhere at anytime with those files being served from one location with an ingenious silky-smooth Apple syncing system keeping all of my devices current and up to date. Let’s call it, MobileMe 2.0.

Review – Sennheiser PX210BT Headphones

Features 0


The Sennheiser PX210BT earphones are a comfortable against-the-ear headset designed to be used wirelessly with any newer Bluetooth compatible device. They also come with a USB cable that can be plugged into an external power source or computer output so that when the built- in rechargeable battery is low or exhausted you can still listen to music as you would with any other set of wired earphones. If you’re going to use them with an iPhone, keep in mind they do not come with a microphone.

An EXTRA-LONG show (sorry about that), but totally worth it. Guy finally gets his iPad while the UK and other regions get delayed again (HINT: it’s most likely Guy’s fault!). We also go over some listener feedback from Kevin Bush and our very own John Nemo!. We welcome Steve Stanger of the Mac Attack podcast and Mac Roundtable podcast. He talks about starting his own podcast and the three of us talk about backing up your computer, when we switched from the Classic Mac OS over to OS X, what the heck ever happened to Mac User Groups, and iPhoto.

Review – 3-in-1 Battery Charger

iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Review 0


The Macally 3-in-1 battery charger gives you three ways to recharge electronic devices in a playfully designed gadget. My first impression was of an electronic Rubic’s Cube or something made from a Lego set. But it’s not as frustrating as a Rubic’s Cube and although its purpose is simple, it is far more sophisticated than a bucket of Legos.
