iPad-Fi
Quote: What is also useful is a USB Dock Extension Cable - gives you more flexibility in attaching accessories to the iPad dock connector. I just ordered one for $6 from Meritline http://www.meritline.com/usb-dock-extension-cable-for-apple-iphone-ipod-touch---p-41215.aspx- trickywombat

iPad-Fi
I find the USB SD reader from the Camera Connection Kit useful for storing movie files on an SD card. I'm carrying a bunch of converted movies on a 16 GB SD card to watch on a long flight. I don't want to fill my iPad which has only 16 GB. I keep movie files in the DCIM...- trickywombat

B&W P5 Headphones: An Unboxing of the Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headphones
Picked a pair up at the Apple Store yesterday. They did not have a demo set, so I had to buy it sight unseen sound unheard. Right out of the box, they sound muddy. This has improved slightly after letting it burn in overnight, so I'll have to see what happens. Actually, the...- trickywombat

Will Westone 3 work in-flight without noise?
In addition to the airplane adaptor, I've used a Shure volume control/attenuator. I've stopped watching inflight movies - the picture quality and sound quality are just so horrendous compared to what my portable gear provides. I supposed it is fine for background music to fall asleep to...- trickywombat

REVIEW (mini-review, more to come) - CEntrance DACport 24/96 USB DAC Amp
I find that the DACport is great in a bedside rig. I have my MacBook Pro running iTunes on the nightstand, the long USB cable makes placement easy. The volume knob on the DACport is really convenient. I control iTunes wirelessly using the Remote app on my iPhone which can select songs from...- trickywombat

But those public domain books don't make up for what you'll miss out on from your public library's Overdrive Adobe eBooks, for example: Pasadena/Glendale Digital Library - Browse eBooks- trickywombat

Kindle DX
I picked the Sony PRS-505 over the Kindle, and have been happy. The Sony Reader supports PDF natively (including reflow) as well as various other open formats (ePub). It also has a better MP3 player. Since the Sony supports Adobe Digital Editions (DRM'd PDF), I can borrow books electronically...- trickywombat

Congratulations! I am really sorry to hear about the issues over insurance, but hope there are still moments where this doesn't cross your minds so the two of you can spend some time reflecting on the good news. You have mapped out a plan of action, and rightly covered many approaches. You...- trickywombat

Help! Just Bought SE110, Very Disappointed
I am a bit of a basshead myself, but also demand excellent midrange and highs. I have not been able to find an IEM under $100 that will meet your requirements. However, if noise isolation is not critical to you and you listen to your music in a quiet environment, your budget screams Yuin...- trickywombat
