Without question, iPods are some of the most convenient portable media players available today. They’re small and simple to use yet they remain very capable. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a quick and surefire way to connect an iPod to the rest of your home media appliances. However, that's about to change. Xitel has produced a new A/V docking device that effectively turns your iPod into a powerful media player for your home.

Check out the Apple iPod Classic 80GB MP3 Player. There are several reasons why the iPod is so popular: classy design, easy-to-use interface, and impressive capabilities, to name a few. And this revamped iPod has even more great stuff: an anodized-aluminum faceplate and chrome back layer, a 2.5 inch screen is located above the click-wheel.

Take it to school, the office or while traveling; listening to music has never been this convenient. So as not to undermine a music player’s portability, we also want a pair of headphones or earphones that are specifically designed to be portable as well. Of course, just as important is the quality of the sound those headphones produce. If these sound like your audio/musical concerns, then get a hold of the Sennheiser PX 10 In ear Headphones, where portability meets quality in a single lightweight device.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/18/sennheiser-px-10/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/17/centon-waterproof-flash-drive-rugged-solution-to-our-memory-needs/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=centon-waterproof-flash-drive-rugged-solution-to-our-memory-needs http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/17/centon-waterproof-flash-drive-rugged-solution-to-our-memory-needs/#comments Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:01:35 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/17/centon-waterproof-flash-drive-rugged-solution-to-our-memory-needs/ There is no doubt that our storage needs are constantly growing. Slide presentations are laden with multimedia content, photos from cameras are getting larger as newer cameras sport higher resolutions, and media sharing has become a normal thing among friends and family. Couple that with the fact that we have a need to bring these files while on the go then you may have to find a simple way of being able to transport these large files easily and quickly.

Some say it is only fair, but would pawn shops then go out of business? My question is simple. If it gets connected back to Apple as most mainstream users would be using standard tools, like iTunes - why couldn't the user simply 'kill' the device through a simple check-box online. Once it's connected, bingo. iPod gets fed a magic packet - and boom. Lights out. Too simplistic?

Apple dares you to crank up the volume as it unleashes the Nike + iPod, the newest and biggest thing to ever happen to your morning exercise. Thanks to a unique partnership between NIKE and Apple, your iPod nano becomes your coach, your personal trainer and your favorite workout companion. ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/11/nike-ipod-tune-in-your-run/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/%e2%80%9c3d-on-the-go%e2%80%9d/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=%25e2%2580%259c3d-on-the-go%25e2%2580%259d http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/%e2%80%9c3d-on-the-go%e2%80%9d/#comments Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:00:19 +0000 Tim McGuinness Ph.D. http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/%e2%80%9c3d-on-the-go%e2%80%9d/ Its’ great that Apple keeps coming out with updates to the iPod and now with the iPod Touch you can watch videos on its 3.5 inch screen. Take it anywhere and watch your favorite movies anywhere. What could be better? Well how about being able to watch a 3D movie on your iPod touch? Since Apple didn’t make the Touch 3D capable, Zeiss went ahead and made a set of 3D glasses that will do just that. Plus it’s not that pair of funky red and blue clown glasses that you use in an IMAX theatre. Not at all.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/08/%e2%80%9c3d-on-the-go%e2%80%9d/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/06/sandisk-sansa-16gb-mp3-player-a-beautiful-view/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sandisk-sansa-16gb-mp3-player-a-beautiful-view http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/06/sandisk-sansa-16gb-mp3-player-a-beautiful-view/#comments Wed, 06 Feb 2008 22:30:59 +0000 Somari http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/06/sandisk-sansa-16gb-mp3-player-a-beautiful-view/ Okay, so it may not have the flashiest design. But please, don't judge this book by its cover. One word to describe the look of the SanDisk Sansa View? I'd say "Simple." In fact, I'd say that word pretty much sums up this mp3 player as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't mean that as a bad thing. This is definitely on of those situations in which less is indeed more. In keeping with its simplicity theme, the controls of theSandisk Sansa View 16GB MP3 Player are minimal and straightforward. It has the standard menu button, a navigation wheel that includes a “select” button at its center. Its edges include a microSD card slot, a headphone jack, a dock connector, and a microphone.

It's hard to look at it and not think of some of the older versions of the iPod nano. Probably not a coincidence, especially when you consider that the Zune's official website bears a strong resemblance to Apple's.
