Apple's 5th Gen iPod Nano Review

How could Apple improve on the already uber-popular iPod Nano. Well, they kept the same slim design of the mega thin MP3 player, squeezed on a slightly bigger screen... oh and added a video camera and microphone into the mix. Check out the review below.

When it comes to getting broadband service into your home there is certainly a lot of choice nowadays. Many claim fast speeds, some sell to you on cheap pricing and others on customer service. It is well worth checking what is on offer at one of the broadband comparison websites too. I recently published a video on the iPhone and iPod touch version of the SpeedTest application, that runs a broadband speed test. You can see the video below. A shout out to you all, head on over the video page and post your speed results in the comment section.

A video look at Mac OS Snow Leopard

It will come as no surprise that I upgraded to the latest OS offering from Apple. In the last couple of weeks using Snow Leopard it has been a mixed bag. 95% of it is all very good. On the odd occasion Quicktime X does not work as I would want it to. Then there is something wrong with perhaps a memory leak, as I get lots of spinning beach balls and hangs. There is also a font issue with Quark Xpress and postscript type 1 fonts. Apart from that (which I can put up with) it is all pretty snappy and good. Below are a series of videos that I produced, covering some of the main new features.
