The Tekkeon NavDock Home Media Center with On-TV Navigation for iPod/iPhone lets you navigate your iPod/iPhone through an on-TV menu to play videos, photos and music on a connected television.
The Tekkeon NavDock browses directly through your iPod/iPhone menus, so finding and playing music and videos is easy.
You can use the 16-button remote to adjust or mute volume, shuffle, repeat or skip songs, and fast forward or rewind through music or videos.
The remote offers a five-way navigation pad and quick keys that jump directly to the videos, photos, music or settings menus.
With Tekkeon NavDock, you have complete control. You can change the language, the menu color scheme to fit your mood, or the navigation speed to fit your taste. You can even access the equalizer or display the lyrics or album art that appears next to your songs in the Now Playing screen in motion as your personalized screensaver.
The graphic display that appears on your TV is very nice, both aesthetically pleasing and easy to read, with adjustable color backgrounds.
The remote gives you full navigation of your IPod: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Podcasts, Genres, Composers and Audiobooks. It also allows you to set your Equalizer just like on your IPod and basically shows about everything on your TV screen that your IPod display does.
The display on the TV screen will show you what is currently playing and you can set the screensaver to come on after various lengths of time. The title of the current song always scrolls across the album cover area. Yes, it shows album covers! And you can turn that feature on or off; just like the IPod Classic it works a little faster without the album cover display turned on but I prefer to see the album covers. Anyway, it’s nice to have the option.
The NavDock will play your videos and photos as well, though with photos you have to first navigate using the IPod display itself, instead of using just the display on the TV to navigate. This is the only time you ever have to look at your IPod itself when you have the NavDock connected. Everything else can be done with the NavDock remote: you can browse artists, genres, and albums and one nice feature is that the remote has a shuffle button right on it, so you don’t have to go into the menu to turn shuffle on or off.

People are still lamenting the passing of Polaroid Instant Film into history, but thanks to technology featured in its tiny Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer launched in 2008, the company is offering a new shoot-and-print option: the Polaroid CZA-05300B PoGo Instant Digital Camera.
The camera, which has a certain retro boxiness to it, is pretty big in comparison to most point-and-shoots with its camera specs. The 7-megapixel camera/printer measures 4.7 inches wide by 3 inches high by 1.3 inches deep and weighs 10 ounces–without paper, battery, or SD card. Keep in mind though: the original instant-print cameras didn’t fit in a coat pocket, but this one does!
There’s a 3-inch LCD on back and controls are simple; there’s even a 4X digital zoom that overcomes the lack of an optical zoom, due to space constraints.
ZINK stands for Zero Ink - a new and simpler approach to printing where high quality, colorful, durable and affordable prints are magically created — all without a drop of ink. The ZINK Technology, invented by ZINK Imaging, encompasses both the ZINK Paper and the intelligence embedded in every ZINK-enabled device. Over 100 patents and patents pending were generated in the development of this breakthrough technology.
The heart of this new “ZINK” category of printing is the ZINK Paper. The patented ZINK Paper is an advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and cyan dye crystals, activated with 200 million heat pulses, in 30 seconds, in a single pass. With 100 billion crystals in a 2 x 3-inch print, the paper is 100-percent inkless. A ZINK-enabled printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals. Because there is no ink, every ZINK-enabled device has the unique benefits of being small, simple, elegant, and eco-friendly.
Polaroid is leveraging the ZINK Technology to bring a new family of digital instant products to the marketplace. The Polaroid Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer is the first ZINK-enabled device available.
The LCD simply pops up, you insert a deck of 10 sheets, and you’re ready to go.
Shoot something you want to print & share? Hit the Print button on back, pick the photo, and press OK.
In less than a minute you have a print, it’s that simple!
The same technology of the PoGo Instant Digital Camera in an even smaller package! The Polaroid printer can do magic for your digital camera or camera phone, see how!
With a Camera Phone: The Polaroid CZA-10011B PoGo Printer is the easiest way to print photos from a camera phone. Wirelessly transfer images from a Bluetooth-enabled camera phone to the Mobile Printer and print instantly. Using the built-in OBEX (object exchange profile) Bluetooth in the phone and the printer, connecting and printing becomes instant.
With a Digital Camera: Instantly printing images from a digital camera is as easy as connecting the USB cable to the PictBridge-enabled camera and printer. Once connected, follow the PictBridge screen on the camera display. Simply select what image to send to the printer and within 60 seconds, the print is ready to be shared.
Bowers & Wilkins has never been one to play the bargain game, and the $399.95 price tag on its new Zeppelin Mini is evidence of that very fact.

Power to (iPod- and iPhone-)people!
When it comes to battery life no one’s safe these days: you see iPhone users stuck with neither cell nor music available!
So what?
Here comes a triplet of different apprach suitable to iPod, iPod touch and iPhone users (letting them save a bundle in the process!).
Got a lot of music and videos on your iPod? The rechargeable Kensington Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod provides a go-anywhere boost of juice so that the music and videos can keep playing. Simply connect the lightweight Battery Pack and Charger to your laptop or notebook computer’s USB port to recharge it, and you’re ready to give your PDA, cell phone, iPod, iPhone, or other mobile devices the power boost it needs.
We’ve all been there: You’re away from home, your iPhone is dead, and you really need to call someone. Or maybe you just hopped on the bus, and the only empty seat is next to that lady who talks to everyone—and your iPod just ran out of juice. Kensington’s battery packs can come to your rescue, recharging a dead iPhone or iPod without the need for a really, really long extension cord.
The larger version comes with an AC adapter and a USB cable, so it can be charged from a wall outlet or from a powered USB port.
An array of five blue LEDs progressively lights up to indicate that the battery is charging, and a test button lights the array to indicate the charge percentage. Connecting it to an iPhone was cumbersome in a tight space, however, because the connector cable is more than 3 feet long. Fully charged, the larger battery pack will keep the tunes flowing for up to 100 hours—or ten hours of iPhone talk time.
For little more than US $ 10 you can get a road warrior kit for iPod along with regular power line charger, car charger, headsets, elastic armband, skin case plus LCD screen protector!

The new LaCie Network Space, designed by Neil Poulton, is a networked attached storage (NAS) and media server aimed squarely at the home user and small office use and is available in capacities of 500 gigabytes to 1 terabyte.
The LaCie Network Space is a full-featured home server utilizing Gigabit Ethernet for localized data transfers from any networked PC or Mac. With an additional USB 2.0 port located on the front of the unit, users can connect any USB drive or camera to copy additional files or photos automatically without needing the local computer turned on.

The LaCie Network Space also has the ability to stream multimedia files through DLNA-compatible UPnP media players, such as Xbox 360 and or Sony Playstation 3, or act as an iTunes music server: this feature is so welcome in small home networks where iTunes music sharing may become nightmare with hours in moving iTunes libraries back and forth from PCs and Macs.
