Review – FotoMagico 3.5
FotoMagico makes quick work of creating a slideshow, complete with music if you desire. Photos, music, and movies are shown in the right-hand sidebar; just drag and drop the media onto the storyboard. FotoMagico can take over from here, and add transitions and zooms to your photos. Another option is to create an Instant Slideshow, which gives the user a little more control over the output. The short movie below is an example of adding pictures and music to the storyboard and letting FotoMagico do its thing.

Review – MP300 Plus Multimedia Speaker System
The MP300 Plus by Edifier are actually a quite sophisticated and cost-effective audio solution, and deliver exceptionally high quality sound for their size and price. The mid/high spherical speakers have an impressive frequency range of 230 Hz to 20 kHz, offering crisp and clean mid-range and highs, and the sub-woofer handles 45Hz to 200 Hz, adding that great bass response often missing from small speakers. The sound is crisp and clear…

In fact it did drop and I lost calls every time I held the phone in that spot. On my previous phone I had to train myself not to hold the phone a specific way than I was used to holding it.

CableJive dockXtender and duaLink
The dockXtender is the simpler of the two devices. It’s an extension cable, plain and simple. If the current docking cable for your iPod/iPhone/iPad is too long or too short, the dockXtender may be the right length. You can purchase it in two feet (60 cm) or six feet (180 cm) lengths. The dockXtender is solidly built, but the cable’s not so thick that it’s not flexible.
