  • The Head Turning Apple iPod Nano – by David Fau...
    By bluetooth marketing on January 31st, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    How cool would it be to have five days’ worth of your favorite music, if you’re someone who plays your favorite music 24/7, or 25,000 of you favorite snapshots suspended from a chain around your neck on a black, or pink, or green, or silver, or blue device about the size of a playing card? Good looks, great listening, and a mammoth memory are the big selling points of the latest version of the rechargeable Apple iPod nano, which retails from between $149 and $249, depending on its memory capacity.

    Features Of The Apple iPod Nano

    The Apple iPod nano offers internal memory ranging from the five hundred song capacity 2GB to the two thousand-song capacity 8GB so that your 1.4 ounce MP3 companion will keep you dancin’ to its music for up to five days, if your downloaded song choices average four minutes or less. And that’s if your Apple iPod nano is never given any downtime.

    Realistically assess how long it would take you to get through two thousand songs, and you may appreciate the amazing job Apple has done packing a ton of consumer value into a very small package! Not only that; Apple has made the process of navigating through two thousand songs a breeze with its proprietary click-wheeling interface. All this in a MP3 62% smaller than the iPod mini, and although there were a few sacrifices to its miniaturization, the improvements far outweigh them. Well, maybe not far, because the whole setup tips the scales at a mere 1.5 ounces.

    Apple iPod Nano Colors

    While the Apple iPod nano will not get you FM or allow voice recording, its dazzling color screen, outstanding sound , and flash drive all make up for that slight shortcoming, and eliminate the possibility of a dead hard drive to boot. With five casing colors, up from the original white, and the black and white options of the Pod mini, the Apple iPod nano is designed to appeal to the fashion conscious runner; there are blue, pink, green, silver, and black nanos so you can coordinate with your running shoes. White did not make the final cut, perhaps because the original white iPod just got too grubby too quickly.

    The Apple iPod nano has a line of accessories to meet any customization and function needs, and its lithium ion battery can provide music for twenty-four hours straight, with a fast cycle recharge getting it to 80% capacity in ninety minutes. A full charge will take three hours. You can also use the Apple iPod’s amazing color display to exhibit a musically-accompanied show of you favorite photos for up to five hours.

    By bluetooth marketing on January 31st, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    10 Benefits Of Bluetooth

    Below, are 10 benefits and reasons to use Bluetooth
    technology.

    1. Wireless
    As you probably already know, there are many benefits
    and advantages to using wireless devices. Along with
    improving safety as a result of eliminating wires
    you don’t need, wireless also offers you plenty of
    other advantages. When traveling with your laptop
    or other wireless devices, you’ll no longer have to
    worry about bringing connection cables.

    2. Bluetooth is actually inexpensive
    The technology of Bluetooth is cheap for companies
    to implement, which results in lower costs for the
    company. These savings are then passed from the
    company on to you.

    3. Bluetooth is automatic
    Bluetooth doesn’t have you set up a connection or
    push any buttons. When two or more devices enter
    a range of up to 30 feet of each other, they will
    automatically begin to communicate without you
    having to do anything.

    4. Standardized protocol
    Bluetooth is standardized wireless, meaning that
    a high level of compatibility among devices is
    guaranteed. Bluetooth will connect devices to
    each other, even if they aren’t the same model.

    5. Low interference
    Bluetooth devices almost always avoid interference
    from other wireless devices. Bluetooth uses a
    technique known as frequency hopping, and also
    low power wireless signals.

    6. Low energy consumption
    As a result of Bluetooth using low power signals,
    the technology requires very little energy and will
    use less battery or electrical power as a result.
    This is an excellent benefit for mobile devices,
    as Bluetooth won’t drain the battery.

    7. Sharing voice and data
    The standard for Bluetooth will allow compatible
    devices to share data and voice communications.
    This is great for mobile phones and headsets, as
    Bluetooth simplifies driving and talking on your
    cell phone.

    8. Instant PAN (Personal Area Network)
    You can connect up to seven Bluetooth devices to
    each other within a range of up to 30 feet, forming
    a piconet or PAN. For a single room, you can
    also set up multiple piconets.

    9. Upgradeable
    Upgradeable is the standard for Bluetooth. There
    are newer versions of Bluetooth in the works,
    which offer many new advantages and backward
    compatible with older versions.

    10. The technology stays
    Bluetooth technology is a world wide, universal
    wireless standard. With it being as popular as
    it is, you can count on it being around for years
    to come. As more and more devices start to use
    Bluetooth technology, more manufacturers will be
    eager to make their products compatible. A chain
    reaction will occur, making Bluetooth the standard
    for cutting edge wireless.

    Furthermore, if we want to advertise our business or service, we can resort to an online national advertising directory. Of course, we can also list our service or business in magazines or other directories that do not use the Internet, but considering the number of people who use the Internet every day, it would be less profitable. Nowadays, when you want to find a piece of information or a number, an address or a certain service provider, you do not call information, search through old directories or call a friend, you search the net. It is a lot faster and easier. This is why, you can rest assure that if you have advertised your service or business using a national online advertising directory, changes are more people will see you.

There are a lot of low cost directory advertising services. This is of course if you want to make your business known on the Internet. If you just want to search for a service provider or are interested in a specific business, then you can search for free, because there is no fee you have to pay.

    If you are just interested in finding a service provider or if you are the one providing certain services, using an online national advertising directory is the wisest idea. People confide more in such directory services because they know that giving you the best service providers or businesses is their job and thus they are very good at it.

  • Sony is Dusting Off the Walkman – by Hans Dekke...
    By bluetooth marketing on January 28th, 2008 | No Comments Comments

    Sony is dusting off the name “Walkman” to compete with Apple’s iPod. The Japanese are building on their own music experience to capitalize on the popularity of the smaller MP3 player.

    In the eighties and nineties the Sony Walkmans and Discmans were a part of everyday life. But these days the MP3 player has market dominance and the Japanese company has faded. Apple and its iPod is now number one.

    Just last week both companies introduced new MP3 players which will be in direct competition with each other. Sony introduced two players under the name “The New Walkman”, while Apple released the iPod Nano.

    Sony is using the name “Walkman” in the hope that 26 years after the first introduction of the famous cassette player that name still has competitive value. However, we must conclude that however great Sony’s past accomplishments they have missed the boat in the MP3 revolution in a major way. The main cause for Sony’s failure is their stubborn refusal to give up the Attrac3 music format. While the whole world was exchanging MP3 files it was only last year that Sony introduced players that can handle this format.

    By that time Apple was just releasing its seventh generation of iPod-type players.

    Sony now markets the NWA-1000 and NWA-3000. These music players can directly communicate with the Sony music store “Connect”. It is also possible to copy files from the computer directly to the players.

    Sony is well known for their activity in the music and film business. They must use their position in this field to regain market share and prestige in this interconnected industry. Interconnected because it seems that it is both Sony’s and Apple’s strategy to heavily interconnect music player, software and music store. Apple’s iTunes was the first Internet music store offered large-scale legal downloads of MP3 files.

    Sony won’t give us any figures about their sales and market share. Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) has no problem with figures. Perhaps the major reason for this is how good they are. Apple claims about half a billion downloads in a heavily growing market.

    The iTunes store is heavily focused on its cooperation with the iPod. This player is definitely the market leader among the more expensive MP3 players which have their own hard disk. In the cheaper segment, MP3 players with the so called flash memory, the leaders are Creative, LG and iRiver. The iPod Shuffle with its flash memory couldn’t do much about that. The negative sentiment about the shuffle was mainly due to its lack of an LCD screen and relatively high price.

    With the iPod Nano Steve Jobs’ Apple has a twofold challenge on its hands. Firstly there is the above-mentioned competition with Sony. Secondly, the new Apple player has a storage space of 4Gb of flash memory and no hard disk.

    The iPod Nano is the successor to the iPod Mini. Apple is constantly reducing the physical size and the prize of their players. Their strategy seems to be to concentrate on iTunes as their major profit producer.

    There is an interesting time ahead of us — we will see heavy competition between Apple and Sony both in the interconnected markets of the MP3 players and their respective music stores.

    Who will win? I don’t know, but one thing I do know is that Apple was almost broke at the end of the last century. It has been under the leadership of Steve Jobs that Apple made an almost miraculous comeback as a major player on the global market of mini-electronics.
