Rich Lefko from MyMac Magazine recently reviewed the iFrogz Vibez speaker system and gave it a MyMac rating of 4 out of 5. Rich described how the Vibez helped him out with a presentation he had to give.
“There I was, in the conference room setting up for a presentation. I needed sound for a clip within my Keynote presentation. They had one of those mounted overhead projectors all wired up with sound. I reached behind the Windows machine and unplugged the audio and video cables and plugged them into my MacBook. The video came up, but no sound. Beads of sweat formed on my brow as I tried in vain to get sound out of that system. The presentation was set to start in less than ten minutes and some early birds had already arrived. Read on to find out what I did.”

One no longer has to take their pictures from their camera to their computer to their iPod - now it all can be done in one simple step by simply connecting your SD card to your iPod with the iWay.
This allows for a very easy way to share your pictures and actually view them with friends, say at graduation just minutes after you take them, on a screen that is usually larger and brighter than the camera screen.
Once uploaded you can either retain the images on the SD card or erase them to get more room.
The iWay is compatible with the 80GB, 60GB, and 30GB and comes in black or white.(not compatible with Nano or iPod Photo) It retails for $69.95.
Just a side note: the 60GB will hold about 40,000 photos, so you don’t have to worry too much about using all your memory.

Stethoscope and iPod?, I think seeing my doctor strutting to some tunes would have to make me grin. After all, a doctors life can be filled with rather stressful days and anything to help them get their groove on is fine by me. The Stethoscope Recording Package does that and more.
The Stethoscope Recording Package comes complete with a Thinklabs ds32a Digital Stethoscope, an Apple iPod Nano 2GB, and a XtremeMac MicroMemo for recording.
The stethoscope is top of the line with unsurpassed sound quality and 50X Amplification to adjust for faint heart sound, obese patients and noisy environments. The package provides the ability to playback sounds between the stethoscope and the iPod, allowing the doctor to rehear the sounds later at his convenience, which could help with a diagnosis. A three year Intelligent Protective Plan is included with the stethoscope.
The Micromemo will provide the doctor with the ability to record lectures and have general dictation at his/her fingertips.

Cars have been integrated with iPod adaption by more than 70% for 2007. Now car manufacturers are not only playing the music, they are also streaming the video.
Car-stereo units are being integrated into cars allowing consumers to download video from their iPod and play it on backseat video screens. The units are not leaving the driver out either as some allow for the video to be played on the vehicles navigation screen, albeit only when the car is in park.
Alpine Electronics has just introduced an adapter the KCE-415i which has been available in Europe since July and retails for $90. The adapter connects video iPods to the car’s entertainment system. Vice President Stephen Witt says “It’s going to be very popular. The consumer wants to bring these portables into their vehicles.”
