Wireless audio system

Posted on January 27, 2010 by David Allen

It is hard to realise the size of these tiny devices, but if you think of a matchbox then you are going to be close and that is small for a wireless device!

These are tiny transmitters, one plugs into the Laptop, TV, music system, Mp3 or in fact any device with a 3.5 mm audio jack, the other is where the headphones or speakers are connected.

The only thing that seems the separate the models is the operating system; the basic model comes with Windows 7 Starter, while the rest of the range came with Windows 7 Professional installed.

Posted on January 26, 2010 by David Allen

These days there are hundreds if not thousands of laptop bags, cases and sleeves around, yet many of them appear to look very similar. But when it comes to security these just don’t measure up to the BookBook!

There is no doubt that there is a market out there for new tablet especially if it comes from Apple as they are likely to have a readymade market to use.

If the Apple iSlate is as good as we are expecting then this device is likely to take the market by storm and make the other computer maker think harder as to which direction they will be taking their products in.

It is all too easy to think if the iSlate as being an oversized
