Apple TV Review

Posted 10/12/2010 at 4:34pm | by Paul Curthoys

We’ve learned to expect big, wonderful things from Apple’s tiny little boxes. But unlike a Mac mini or iPod nano--which both do a lot in a relatively small space--the Apple TV doesn’t do much more than its 3.9x3.9x0.9-inch form factor and $99 price would suggest. That’s because it’s primarily a cloud-focused streaming device…but it only connects to a small, wispy tendril of the cloud, rather than the thunderstorm of awesome streaming content that can easily be accessed on other devices.

Apple iPod Shuffle, Nano and Touch Reviews

Posted 10/07/2010 at 7:32am | by Ray Aguilera

Every year, Apple releases new iPods, forcing us all to consider whether its time to upgrade our music player. The 2010 crop of iPods--revamped shuffles and nanos, and a refreshed iPod touch--represent some of the biggest changes to the iPod lineup in recent times. Apple curiously left the classic out of this round of updates, and as the sole remaining hard drive-based iPod, we suspect that the venerable classic is on its way to being a relic remembered by music geeks alongside other forgotten audio tech like wax cylinders and, uh, those CD things.

Buffalo Technology Dualie Review

The Dualie is a portable hard drive and a docking station for your iPhone or iPod. It connects to your Mac via USB, enabling you to sync or otherwise manage either device while it’s in the dock. But it’s also powered via AC adapter, so you can recharge your phone or audio player even when your computer’s switched off.

iHome iA5 Review

iHome’s new iA5 is billed as an “app-enhanced” alarm clock. In plain English, that means you can augment this standalone clock and speaker dock by downloading the free iHome+Sleep app for your iPhone or iPod touch to unlock additional functionality.

Apple haters love to trot out the fact that the iPhone and iPod touch lack a physical keyboard. And of course, the first feature iPhone users notice about any rival keyboard-equipped smartphone is usually the microscopic keys. 4iThumbs attempts to bridge that gap, offering some of the tactile feedback of a hard keyboard without giving up all the benefits of the iPhone’s virtual keys.

Rotaliana Diva

“’80s coke dealer.” That’s how one Mac|Life staffer libeled the Rotaliana Diva when trying to describe its visual statement. True enough, this multitalented iPod dock--brazenly slick and swoopy, unapologetic in its design flamboyance--does look like the kind of thing that Tony “Scarface” Montana might place on an end table in his Miami mansion. Are the Diva’s lines too over the top? That’s for you to decide. What we can tell you is that a host of interesting features make this ostentatious obelisk a compelling bundle of functionality.

Like X-ray glasses and sea monkeys, vacuum tubes are the stuff of 1950s pulp-fiction cool. They even glow in the dark! And it turns out that they can improve the sound of modern digital music--if you stick with high-quality, lossless files, that is.

Armpocket Sport 20

Fanny packs may have gone the way of mom jeans, but while they were in vogue, they were pretty darn useful. The modern equivalent is the Armpocket Sport 20, a Velcro-strapped pouch that enables you to carry your iPod touch or iPhone and other small items on your arm when you’re working out or just traveling light.

Yamaha EPH-30

Great-sounding headphones that don’t cost an arm and a leg are kind of like aliens--you’re pretty sure they’re out there somewhere, but they’re really hard to find. Yamaha’s EPH-30 earbuds should come packaged like a flying saucer--they offer a terrific listening experience at an affordable price.

iPods are fantastic, but the most important part of any mobile music experience is the earbuds or headphones that you connect to your device. Plenty of people are happy to use the stock Apple iPod earbuds, but many are less than thrilled by their sound quality--or the fact that those hard plastic ’buds aren’t the most comfortable things to stick in your ears. Yurbuds are soft rubber eartips meant to work with your existing phones, offering better fit and improved performance.
