Smart Apple iPod Tips and Techniques
Are you thinking of buying an Apple iPod? Or have you bought one?
Almost everyone and anyone that I know seems to have bought an iPod or at least is thinking of getting an ipod for themselves or their loved ones. The iPod is just so alluring! However, do you know what you should do after buying the iPod?
Most people don't. Yet, market analysts estimate that the average iPod owner spend as much as 30% of the original iPod price on additional accessories! That's a whopping US$60-US$90 on iPod accessories that each iPod owner will spend!
Many people are simply spending their money on the wrong accessories! In fact, many are going for fancy accessories such as car transceiver kit, wireless remote kit, speaker kit even without realizing what are the first accessories they should get.
Get the Basic iPod Accessory before getting the Fancy Stuff!
Do you, as a iPod user, faces these problems on a daily basis too?
* iPod Screen scratches* Click wheel scratches* Mirrored back scratches* Messy iPod earphone cables* iPod overheating when being charged while in a silicone or leather case
Despite the technical and cosmetic superiority of the Apple iPod, there remain some teething issues. Weak batteries is one. Being easily scratched is another. These problems immediately lower the resale or trade-in value of the iPod, if any? This may not seem important but if you are trading in your older iPod for a new one, this does matter. It also sucks to see scratches and marks on the beautiful iPod. In fact, microscopic scratches takes place everytime you take the iPod in and out of pocket!
Get a good-quality iPod case before ANYTHING ELSE!
There are numerous iPod accessories out there. Many accessories are fanciful, some are good but most do not fulfil the basic need of the iPod. You need to protect the iPod from getting scratches and accidental marks before anything else.
Before the iPod can serve you well, it must be able to take care of itself. So, before you even look further into getting your first iPod accessory or even if you have gotten numerous other accessories, make sure you first equip your iPod with either a good quality case or sleeve.
The most common iPod cases in use are:
Handphone sleeves converted to iPod sleeves
This is the most common as handphone sleeves are cheap and easily available. However, the mirrored back of the 3G and 4G ipod are easily scratched by theses sleeves as they run against the iPod. It is not recommended unless you have a budget problem.
iPod screen and wheel sticky protectors
There are transparent iPod screen and wheel sticky protector that are cut of the right size and stucked directly onto the iPod screen and wheel. However, there are various models in the market and some of the cheaper ones tend to curl and peel off after some use. If you are on a budget, a good quality screen and wheel protector is the minimum you should have.
iPod silicone skin
This is the most common iPod case around. It looks like a good casing choice but it is in fact one of the worst, especially if you have bought a cheap one.
These cheap silicone cases are being mass-produced in China with doubtful materials and design elements. Many of the cheap silicone skins in the market tear easily and pick up lint and dirt easily. They are also difficult to wash and maintain. I will not advise a silicone case unless they are made by some of the better and branded products from USA or Japan.

iPod Leather case
The iPod leather case is one of the most popular case. However, do not get the Apple branded one if possible as it tears to scratched the mirror back and it does not have a covering flap. Get one of the leather cases from the many in the market. Check the stitching on the leather case before buying one as some of the mass-manufactured ones may have poor workmanship.
Water and shock resistant cases
There is an increasing demand for such cases as more and more people bring their iPod for hiking, cycling, trekking, fishing and beach trips. There are various good brands in the market. However, note that whatever the advertisement may say, at best, the case can only be water resistant and not water proof which is two different things all together. A water resistant case can only take splashes and short immersion in water and certainly not something you can bring for swimming or diving trips!

Why Your "Cutting Edge" Cell Phone Isn't
While cell phone technology in the U.S. provides us with an array of amazing features and services, in actuality, cell phone use and features are far more advanced in other parts of the world. Could cell phone plans in other countries even be called better?
Plans available in other countries include:
Plans available in other countries include:
-Free incoming calls on cell phones
-Ability to use phones on a pay-as-you-go basis, which means no bills or contracts to contend with
-Receiving calls when there is no credit available on the phone
-Very reliable coverage
-Ability to make calls just about anywhere at anytime
But that’s only the beginning.
Cell Phones Internationally! On average, people abroad look to their cell phone as a source of new innovations. Cell phones abroad tend to be enjoyed and appreciated far more than in the U.S. Internationals love their cell phones and see them as an important accessory whereas here in the U.S. people see their cell phones as a necessary evil. Because so many people abroad already own cell phones and love them, international companies are constantly working towards adding on more interesting functions and features so as to influence users to switch to other models.
Exciting Features & Functions! As everyone already knows, Japan holds the title for the world’s most advanced cell phone technology. Some cell phone carriers in Japan are offering their customers the ability to:
-Watch TV on their cell phones.
-Use their phones to expedite check-in activities at some Japanese and European airports. A few airports are experimenting with systems that allow passengers to check in at departure gates by identifying themselves with a cell phone.
-Access a pocket PC and a Windows operating system, Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook as well as a camera in combination with their cell phones.
-Buy waterproof phones for use in the shower.
Just imagine how cool it is to manage everything with one small phone, which means never having to carry credit cards or cash around. And with just one small instrument, users can take care of a multitude of details.
Other Interesting Features! Cell phones all over the world are rising to meet the demands of everyday life. Take a look at the latest cell phone technology from all around the world:
-Some cell phones internationally incorporate phrases in English, Chinese and Korean and allow users to conduct business activities such as booking a hotel when traveling out of the country.
-Many new models now offer a function that uses a global positioning satellite which determines the exact location of the user along with a map of the area. Great for meeting up with people when the location is unfamiliar!
-For those who want to have a cell phone within easy access, a wristwatch-shaped PHS, (Personal Handphone System) is available and turns into a regular phone with the mere click of a button.
-Motorola designers are trying to cultivate phones that read a user’s emotions.
-Samsung recently announced the SPH-B5800 in Korea, which provides traffic details like “cleared,” “sluggish”, or “congested” that refresh every five minutes. The model supports the ‘Transport Protocol Experts Group.’ Information about local restaurants and useful travel guides is also offered.
The Race to Innovate Just when you think there’s no possible way to get anything else into a cell phone, new technology comes along and adds something innovative to the cell phone scene. Today, a cell phone in other countries is no longer just a phone, but more of a multi-purpose apparatus that allows for the paying of bills, making travel arrangements, checking on weather and traffic, playing games, using as a computer, taking pictures, text messaging, and conducting business.
All in all, while cell phone use in the United States is excellent, when compared with Japan, South Korea and European countries, the US still lags behind. And as new technologies race to innovate, you can expect an even greater quantum leap when it comes to cell phones. Most likely those leaps and innovations will probably happen first in other parts of the world.
