Posted by newbie Sunday, October 2, 2011 0 comments


The wireless headphones with rapper 50 Cent�s branding are near release and several tech blogs have received photos and specs about the upcoming high-end model. Sync by 50 features a unibody casing that is so now, but has full on-board playback controls that no other headphones have. Each can is housed with a 40-millimeter driver surrounded by a memory foam cushion. It has a 3.5-millimeter wireless adapter that supposedly can retrieve audio from up to 50 feet and even allow four simultaneous wireless connections.
The high-end headphones also features a professionally-tuned digital EQ with 16-bit lossless digital sound. The device is charged through micro USB and comes with a wired mic cable and a hard-shell carrying case.
The price has not been revealed yet, but expect it to be very costly as it is launched within the coming months.

Posted by newbie 0 comments


Microsoft�s Zune service may not be as popular as Spotify, Rdio, and MOG, but it is still there and the company is trying to keep it more appealing and widely available.
For those in the United States, they can enjoy the new $10-per-month Zune Music Pass. The service is similar to the existing $15-a-month plan, but users no longer get to keep 10 free MP3s monthly. Microsoft has also brought the Zune Marketplace and Zune Pass to Canada. Windows Phone owners in Canada can enjoy these new services as they open on October 3, with the Zune Pass costing C$9.99 a month or C$99.90 a year.
Another big change is that Zune Music Pass subscribers in both countries can stream tens of thousands of music videos through the Zune PC software. This streaming service will also be available soon in Xbox 360.
The Zune services provides access to more than 14 million tracks from all major music labels, as well as thousands of independent labels. Apart from Windows Phones, subscribers can also listen to Xbox 360, Windows PC, Zune device, and Zune.net.

The Ultra-Pocket is the perfect entry-level digital camera for individuals and families who desire a true pocket camera without sacrificing affordability and quality.

"The first 'wow' is a reaction to the camera's ultra-thin size � literally the size of a credit card and only 0.2" (6 mm) thin. The second occurs when they see how the Autobrite� technology clearly captures the dark details of a scene while ensuring that the bright regions never saturate."
The Ultra-Pocket boasts durability and a sleek silver contour. Its VGA resolution (300,000+ pixels) is ideal for sending images via e-mail or for posting on the web. The included 8 MB MultiMediaCard removable memory can hold up to approximately 40 images. USB connectivity ensures fast downloading and connectivity with Windows. The camera fits easily in your pocket, goes virtually everywhere you go, and offers simple point-and-click use. With the Ultra-Pocket, it's never been more convenient to capture and share life's images.
