iPod Nano with Chocolate Gift Set
May 4, 2007 | | Comments (2) | TrackBacks


Looking for a mp3 player that's dependable, popular and extremely well recommended because you know your mom requires a product that has been proven and tested beyond all means? Apple's iPod Nano answers that question hands down. The standard iPod and iPod shuffle are great devices too but they are either too big or just too small to comfortably use or keep on you for extended periods of time. This special Mothers Day edition product of the iPod Nano (pink or silver in color) with a variety of chocolates all bundled up together is the perfect gift to give your mom for mothers day. How often do popular gadgets get bundled up with chocolate to be the perfect all in one gift? Hardly ever. The iPod itself is the 4GB edition which allows for at least a good thousand songs worth of files can be loaded up on the device, and an extremely sharp photo-friendly color screen where pictures of the family and album artwork can be displayed as songs are played. As with all Apple iPod products, the accessory line is unbelievable. Unbelievably diverse and complete in that one can buy a docking station which can turn your iPod Nano into a full-fledged home stereo or slide it into the new Nike shoes and collect data about your jogs!
A full charge takes 3 hours to last the iPod about 14 hours of non-stop listening.. that should be more than enough to get you through to your next charge. I did notice though that there was no FM capability, thats ok I dont see/hear too many people listening to terrestrial radio anymore.
Getting back to this special promotion of the iPod and Chocolate Gift Set, I think that one can not go wrong with this as a gift to any lady (mother/wife/girl-friend) in your life whom deserves something special. Get it before its gone, it will be unveiled on May 6th at your BestBuy store.

Philips Digital Photo Frame - 9FF2CME / 37
May 1, 2007 | | Comments (1) | TrackBacks

I work in a very large company where too often I keep getting moved whenever I get re-org'ed/promoted/whatever else that may cause me to move my office to a new location. With each of the moves, more and more of my belongings have stayed in boxes unpacked, along with pictures of family which have now become extremely outdated.I also tend to friendly inquire, whenever I visit anyone's office where they have family pictures up, as to whom is in those pictures and get an appreciation for everyone's unique backgrounds and proud moments. Unfortunately it seems too often that these pictures are usually at least 2-3 years old, and one person had some going as far back as 7 years only because they just gave up on the 'updating the pictures' game.

Philips Photo Frame comes to the rescue! Now you can have a single digital frame which contains all your updated pictures amongst your older pictures to make you feel like you're on top of the picture game. Everyone's purchased digital cameras so why are you resorting to using traditional photos for showing off your proud moments/loved ones? Copy those digial pictures directly to the Philips Photo Frame by connecting it to your computer via a USB cable (has an internal memory capable of storing 110-150 pictures) or simply plug in a memory stick (Compact Flash-CF, Sony Memory Stick, Secure Digital-SD and xD card compatible).

The Philips Photo Frame is just amazing on so many levels. The classy silver frame, and the fact that it has a 9" viewable screen (pictures can be clearly seen across your office during the day) with great resolution is a smash hit. The menu is extremely simple to use, it only has 3 buttons and one joystick type dial located on the back to give you all the control you need. I really liked the fact that you could also program it to turn off and on at certain times during the weekday/weekend; therefore, you dont have to worry about turning it on/off as you carry about doing your work.
If I were to find a con, it would have to be that I would have to determine how to position the frame (portait or landscape setting) so that the pictures are utilizing the viewable area to the fullest extent. I just realized thats not really a shortcoming of the product but of perhaps how I've taken pictures in the past, so scratch that and I just need to learn to take better pictures.

The digital frame has a bunch of great functionality (dynamic collage creations/randomizing pictures) and ability to auto-sense how its setup to display pictures in portait or landscape mode. I thoroughly recommend the Philips Photo Frame, it might be a tad expensive ($200) but take a look at the competition and you'll realize its worth it.
