One of the great things about owning an Apple Ipod is the amount of accessories available for the Mp3 player. That’s why when I recently misplaced my Ipod cable I quickly type in USB cable for Ipod in Google. And found many hits. EzGear was one of the first sites to show up in my search. So after poking around the site I came upon the ezLink USB 2.0 for Ipod.

The cables comes in white and looks perfectly matched with my 5th Generation White Ipod Video.

Even though it is a third party cable it could often be mistaken for the stock cable.

The cable can be used to both charge the Ipod and transfer over files using the very fast USB 2.0 connection.

Conclusion – A good replacement cable is hard to come by and the ezLink USB 2.0 cable for Ipod is an excellent choice if you happen to lose your original.

Reviewed by K.C. Kim

The MisticAudio OTG Series Case for the Meizu M6 Mini Player combines quality craftsmanship with features that users demand.

* High Quality Leather Construction
* Necklace/Laynard Attachment
* Leather Necklace Included
* Access to all Player Functions while in the case
* Built-In Screen Protection

It has been awhile since the Meizu M6 player has been released. And now accessories are becoming more varied. Before we only had the silicone case in various colors.. Now there is a new premium case on the block for the Meizu M6 and it’s name is “MisticAudio OTG Series Leather Case”. This is the first leather case I know of for the Meizu M6 and it does indeed deliver.

Design – The design of the case is overall much better than expected. When I posted an earlier prototype picture people were quick to denouce it as very poor in its looks. But holding the final product I can say that this is not the case. The leather is smooth and non oily with perfect black stiching. The front has a plastic screen protector built in to protect the valuable screen from scratches. And the case has all the access points available to make the case truly functional without removing the case. There is also a lanyard you can attach to back.

Quite simply if your looking for the best case available for the Meizu Mini Player M6 look no further than the MisticAudio OTG Series Case for Meizu M6 Mini Player.

Gelaskin for Original Ipod Nano Review

http://www.gelaskins.com/
Price $14.95
Reviewed by K.C. Kim

GelaSkins for the iPod Nano provide low-profile scratch protection with photo quality graphics. Using the same technology as the automotive customization industry, GelaSkins protect your iPod from scratches without adding the bulk of other cases. Every GelaSkin comes with a great screen protector to keep your display looking like new. Pick any 3 skins and we’ll give you 1 for free. Enjoy…

GelaSkins fit the colorful new Nanos (2, 4, 8 Gb) as well as the original black and white Nanos (1, 2, 4 Gb).

5 reasons why should get a Gelaskin –

1. Your Ipod is not looking so great with scratches all over.
2. You bought the unit second hand and there’s an engraving on the back
3. You want something different than the normal black/white Ipods
4. You want to protect your Ipod from scratches
5. It’s just cool

This is my reasoning behind me owning my very own Gelaskin to apply to my 1st Gen Ipod Nano. I chose I Can’t Get Them Out Of My Mind by Brandt Peters skin. I liked the design as well as it being completely different from the norm.

Application –
The application process was pretty much straight forward. Remove it from the packaging. Find a good place in the home to apply the skin (A bathroom for example). First try to remove any dust or grime that is on the Ipod with a cloth. Second apply the screen protector. Then apply the front face skins first, which consist of the base, scroll wheel, and middle button. Aligned them correctly. Once that is done. Simply install the one piece back skin and your done. Should take only a couple of minutes total.

Gelaskins are a work of art. You can choose from of wide variety of styles created by artists worldwide. They are made of the highest quality premium vinyl material with photo-quality graphics and add an almost complete protection to your Ipod from scratches. If you want to give your Ipod a new look, style, and protection look no further than the Gelaskins.

I recently bought a second hand Ipod Nano off Ebay. Once I recieved it the Ipod was scratch up with deep scratches. I thought I could live with it and I did for several months but then decided to look for a better option. After to a couple of searches on Google I end up finding several products that were made for Ipod that were cleaners and polishers. The one product that came up the most was the Applesauce Polish.

This product is amazing at removing scratches. After a couple of applications my used Nano looked brand new! For $20 this is a steal of a deal to bring life back to your Nano. I would make this a requirement to any one who plans on buying an Ipod.

ATSC, the new digital broadcast standard, is now available in many areas of the United States. ATSC reception is dependent on many factors. The provided antenna will allow reception in areas where there is a good ATSC signal. In regions or rooms where the signal is not strong, an amplified rooftop antenna will be required. It is generally not possible to receive an ATSC signal while en route (e.g. in a car or train). Please consult with your local reseller or go to www.antennaweb.org for more information on areas covered and optimizing your reception.

Internet connection required; not available for all countries. One year of EPG support provided at no charge. Additional years may require a subscription fee.

HDTV on a laptop for free that sounded too good to be true. But this is what was promised from Pinnacle’s PCTV HD Pro Stick.

What In the Box: Along with the TV tuner stick you get a portable antenna, usb extender cable, a/v input adapter, PCTV Installation CD, Pinnacle Studio Quickstart CD, remote, and QuickStart Guide. Everything included is all you need to get started.

Installation: The process was simple to get started simple plug the PCTV HD Pro Stick into an available USB 2.0 port. Windows should recognize the device. Next choose which connection your using. You can use the rooftop antenna in your house, the included mini antenna, cable, or cable/satellite box. I chose the included antenna.

Software – You will receive two CDs with the tuner, PCTV MediaCenter version 4.5 and Pinnacle Studio QuickStart version 10. You can also download updates at the official website. There is already a patch 4.52 that fixes many issues. Going through the process of installing the program was simple. Once you get the channel scan it may take a couple minutes but after that you ready to watch shows on your laptop.

Design – The Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick is small only a tad bigger than a usb drive. It is small enough to fit in your pocket. The included antenna does offer much reception but the good thing is you can hook this up to your rooftop antenna to get a better quality experience.

Performance – The PCTV HD Pro Stick lacks an internal decoder, which is the reason they can keep the tuner so small. This means you need a fast machine to run it smoothly without any lag. I would recommend at least 3GHZ, 1GB Ram, and a 128mb-video card (not shared) to watch HD channels.

Conclusion – The PCTV HD Pro Stick is an excellent first generation HD tuner with only a couple of rough spots (Mainly software which is buggy) but those issues can be fix through updates and patches. For only $129.99 this is an inexpensive way to get over the air HD channels on your laptop.

LED Ear Light Review

http://www.houseofrave.com/

Price $5.95

Reviewed by K.C. Kim

I recently purchased a Sony Reader and while the product is great it lack one key thing and that was a light to read in the dark. Fortunately I was a member of MobileRead forums and happen upon a thread about alternative backlights. The product most talk about was an Ear Light. After browsing a few tech blogs I happen to stumble on House of Rave’s website where I found their product the LED Ear Light for amazingly cheap $5.95. After a couple of emails I have one in hand for hands on review.

The Ear Light is made of a hard silver plastic. It slips nicely onto the right ear. Once correctly in place I found little to no discomfort even wearing the device for long periods of time. The Ear Light can also be titled up and down to point to what you are looking at. The led on the Ear Light was very bright and offers a even amount of light through out.

Uses – I found several uses for this device. First of course a booklight for my Sony Reader. I also use this for reading regular paperbacks where there wasn’t a light source. You can also use the Ear Light as an emergency light during blackouts which happens on occasion where I live. I also found it useful for places with little light source such as the basement or garage. And on one occurence I use the Earlight to see the screws that I was drilling on a fence that broke down after a thunderstorm.

At this price I would buy two or three of these to have around the house. It has so many uses and performs well. Rating 9.5 out of 10

When it comes to high quality headphones one name comes to mind “Sennheiser.” When Sennheiser launch a new style line of earphones I jumped at the opportunity to review it.

What’s included – Along with the clip on earphones you will get a nice black plastic case to protect it. Along with a set of earbud cushions.

Design – Many have compared the OMX 90 to the Bang & Olufsen A8s and I do agree that both exude a high class of style. But in my opinion the OMX 90 Clip Earphones are much more comfortable as well as having much better sound.

Conclusion – After using the Sennheiser OMX 90 VC Style Earphones I could never again go back to stock earphones again. There are sound perfection in your ears and worth every penny. If you are looking for earphones that possess both style and amazing sound quality look no further than the Sennheiser OMX 90 VC Style Earphones.
