iPhone killer? - BlackBerry Storm released: Enjoy your DVD and Video with it! There is no doubt that the iPhone has changed the smartphone world and forced cellphone manufacturers to sit back and rethink how they create new devices and features and how they can compete. Nokia recently announced a very compelling entertainment-focused iPhone rival and Blackberry will launches an stronger competitor - BlackBerry Storm. With the nearby publishmet of BlackBerry Storm a new phone war is approaching. Could BlackBerry Storm be an Apple iPhone killer? And who will win in this battle, the Apple iPhone 3G or the BlackBerry Storm? [img] [/img] Screen The BlackBerry Storm features a high-resolution 360 x 480 touchscreen, which gives it a 4:3 aspect ratio akin to older TVs, versus the iPhone 3G's 320 x 480 touchscreen which is a 3:2 ratio. Not much to choose between the two, though. Keyboard The Storm offers several virtual keyboard options, including standard QWERTY in landscape mode and SureType in portrait mode The iPhone offers several keypads (QWERTY, numeric, symbols) in both landscape and portrait modes. Camera The BlackBerry Storm features a modest 3.2 megapixel camera, still beating the iPhone's two megapixel affair. Additionally, it supports video...

My RCA mp3 player shrunk!

Dawn the musician — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:43:24 GMT

I got a 1GB rca mp3 player for Christmas last year it was working fine until a couple weeks ago I deleted about 200mb to make room for some new music. It deleted all my previously saved music and the new stuff : ( I was only able to put some of the music back on because it now only had 700mb of free space! I tried reformatting it in FAT instead of FAT32 and now it tells me that I have 299mb of free space but it won't let me add any more files...I'm confused. ~dawn

How to burn DRM encrypted iTunes music to MP3

dudude — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 03:23:22 GMT

Are you annoyed by iTunes DRM? Do you want to strip it off because you want to play the iTunes music on other mobile devices other than iPod and iPhone, use it as background music in a home video, or anything else that DRM limits it to do? Many people know you can strip off the DRM off iTunes music by simply burning the song to a CD, and ripping it back over, losing very little quality(if settings are correct): 1. Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc into your CD-ROM drive. You'd better use CD-RW disc as it can be used for more than once. 2. Burn your playlist to make an audio CD. You cannot select the MP3 CD option since it requires the encrypted iTunes music files be converted to unprotected MP3 files. 3. After the audio CD is successfully burned, insert the disc into your CD-ROM drive again. Then you can use iTunes to import the music tracks on the burned disc to MP3 files. And the method I am going to introduce does the same exact thing but you will not need a CD-RW disc, a CD ROM drive, or even need to burn anything! It's...

Creative MP3 Tag Issue

Dewguy — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:13:18 GMT

I own a Creative Zen W:Vision. I have approximately 8,000 songs on the player. The MP3 media management software that came with the player is very limited. It does not allow me to group changes the Mp3 tag data. I have to change one record at a time. Also, within the tag data of some of my MP3 songs there are Artist Names with trailing spaces. The player treats "ACDC", "ACDC " and ACDC " as three separate Artists (based on any trailing spaces at the end of the artist's name). I have hundreds of MP3 records i would need to edit individually. I was hoping that someone may know of a tool that works with Creative Zen W:Vision that would allow me to either remove all the trailing spaces after the Artist Name within the MP3 file, or have a Creative tool that would read my player and allow me to edit multiple records at once.

Apple Shows Off New iPods, iTunes 8 - Underwhelms?

Matt Whitlock — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:58:41 GMT

Today at Apple's "Rock Live" Event in San Fransico, Jobs and Co. took the opportunity to debut the iPod lineup for the holiday selling season, as well as highlight some additional updates and goodies for the juggernaut's existing products like iPhone 3G and iTunes. Before you take to heart the numerous reports of how "underwhelming" Apple's announcements were, it's important to keep in mind that Apple is held to a much higher standard of expectation. Granted, what Apple had to talk about today hardly justified an entire event. Thank goodness Jack Johnson showed up to play a tune at the end to fill some space. It wasn't underwhelming; it wasn't overwhelming... more just 'whelming.' At the end of the day, you have a slight refresh of it's two larger iPod products, a redesigned Nano, and a feature of considerable 'genius' value if it works. Pepper in an update or two, make a ridiculous challenge to Nintendo and Sony, and end the event with a music act. Event done. So what do we have from Apple for the holidays: iPod Classic - Apple's last remaining mega-capacity player is stripped down to only the skinny version and thrown a storage upgrade to...
