In October 07 we did a post on a new company "BuyMyTronics.com" that will buy your old and broken iPods or iPhones for top dollar. We recently received an email from them that we'd like to share with you.

"I wanted to let you know that we have added Cell Phones to our growing list of items that we purchase broken and used. For example; we are able to pay up to $225 for a Broken iPhone. We are still the only major company out there that actually pays for broken electronic gadgets, not to mention our prices for used items are typically the most out there.

Our services are more profitable, faster and easier for the product owners than Craigslist or EBay. We're able to make money by taking the working parts from some devices and using them to fix others as you may know. It's a win-win, eWaste stays out of landfills and we are able to put cash in people's pockets. Plus, we're proud to announce that BuyMyTronics.com is now 100% wind powered which has lowered our impact on the environment further."

Lets all help the environment and instead of throwing those items in the trash, send them in and make some money!!

Stream your iTunes library to your iPhone and iPod touch

2007-10-11T10:35:00.000-07:00

We've found great little article by David Chartier for the ars technica, 23 Sep 07, that we know you will love to try. Be sure and bookmark us and let us know if you found it helpful.

"Whether the size of your iTunes library outpaces your iPhone or iPod touch by a song or a mile, you've had to develop some kind of system for picking exactly which media you bring on the go. Sure, smart playlists can swap out a fresh collection of tunes and videos each time you sync, but what if you could stream your entire library and do away with having to chose altogether?

If you can hop on a WiFi hotspot either in the home or wandering elsewhere, the Embraceware Blog has a handy tip for those who just gotta have all their media at the touch of a finger. Setup isn't exactly a one-click operation, but after enabling Mac OS X's built-in Personal Web Sharing feature and performing some Terminal trickery, you'll be able to use MobileSafari and WiFi on your iPhone and iPod touch to browse your entire library and stream anything you want.

Of course, there are caveats to this trick. For starters, the library browsing UI obviously won't be as slick the iTunes implementation built into your WiFi-endowed Apple PMP (it's literally just a linked text list of all your media). Second, this should work well over the typical 802.11b/g/n network at home, but if you go the extra mile to try and stream over the web while you're out 'n about, you could experience reliability issues and throttling on behalf of the ISPs you're streaming through. Still, it's a good trick that isn't too hard to set up, and it might help ease the pain of a 4, 8 or even 16GB storage crunch until flash memory matures into the sizes we're all craving."

Apple's surprise weapon: Computers

2007-09-26T18:31:00.000-07:00

The iPod and iPhone are hits, but they're not the company's hottest line, says Fortune's Brent Schlender.

Although the whole world thinks Steve Jobs company is living off the sales of his iPhone and iPods, they are wrong.

While Apple has been all over the news with the iPhone its Macintosh computer business is the hottest line of all - see the all new iMac.

Check out the article by Brent Schlender.

Revamped iPod Nano overlooked?.........

2007-09-10T11:09:00.000-07:00

With all the hoopla over the iPhone and the iTouch, we think the little iPod Nano new features have been overlooked. There is navigation by scroll wheel, not touch. The Nano now comes in two versions, a 4GB silver model for $149 and the 8GB version which is offered in five colors for $199.

Nano looks like the iPod Classic but is much, much smaller and now plays video. The 2 inch diagonal screen is suprisingly bright and easy to watch. Apples says it is 65 percent brighter than the previous Nano, it shows videos, photos and album art quite well and has a new menu screen. Along the left side sits the standard menu choices, i.e., music, videos, photos, podcasts and a few others but on the right, you can scroll down and you see images of your content. It might be album art if you select music or a picture of your children if you chose photos. The images will change randomly every few seconds. When you scroll, you can click on an album cover and it will list all of the songs on that album. Go ahead and click on it and hear the music.

So as you will see, the Nano may be small but has become mighty.
