    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Kindle DX

    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

    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...

    I own the PK2 and PK3 (PK3 is out on load an I haven't seen mine for a while). The above descriptions of the differences between the two are accurate. It boils down to personal preference.

    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...
