SAT/NAV SYSTEMS- TOM TOM

TomTom GO 720
TomTom's latest device - the Go 720 - introduces a function it calls Map Share to the in-car navigation party. With the 720, and other devices in the latest range, users can add to or make changes to mistakes in the onboard maps and upload them for other users to benefit from. The intention, of course, is to put an end to those moments - or at least reduce the frequency with which they occur - where your sat-nav asks you to turn right on a no-right turn junction, make a U-turn in the middle of a motorway, or drive down a private road. Not that you'd ever blindly follow such plainly wrong instructions, of course.

KEF PICOFORTE 3



MARLBORO, NJ — September 25, 2007 — KEF, renowned British manufacturer of audiophile-quality speakers, announces the release of the all new PicoForte™ Series, two extraordinarily compact iPod solutions, each featuring a docking station, amplification module, and a pair of award-winning KHT Series speakers. Designed as a high-quality, no-compromise alternative to the low fidelity speakers and headphones through which iPods are all-too-frequently played, the PicoForte systems combine the advantages of the iPod source with the superb sound quality for which KEF is so widely admired.The PicoForte systems consist of a docking and amplifier module and two separate speakers to enhance performance and flexibility. Two systems are available: the PicoForte 1 and the PicoForte 3. The PicoForte 1 includes a pair of KEF’s new KHT1005.2 speakers that, while remarkably compact, are nonetheless capable of full-range frequency response and room-filling sound. The PicoForte 3 includes a pair of the award-winning KEF KHT3005 speakers, which although still modestly sized and easy to accommodate, provide even deeper bass response and the ability to fill the largest living spaces with breathtaking music. And of course, both the KHT1005.2 and KHT3005 speakers produce the full, rich, detailed sound and superb dispersion and imaging characteristics for which KEF is renowned. Both the PicoForte1 and PicoForte3 are complete, simple-to-set-up stereo systems that give users everything they need to experience true, lush digital sound. Featuring KEF’s Uni-Q® “sit-anywhere” technology, allowing listeners to enjoy the same rich stereo image from anywhere in the room, the PicoForte systems are compatible with every currently available iPod as well as include a 3.5mm audio jack for use with all non-Apple MP3 players. Both systems also include a connection for an optional subwoofer as well as an S-Video connection for displaying song titles (in a wide range of supported languages) or even playing movies when connected to video capable iPods.

i TEMPO IDS-03 DOCK AND SPEAKER SYSTEM:


The latest dock and speaker system in the Intempo range is the iDS-03, a "powerful but compact" system compatible with iPods, MP3 players and other audio devices.

Available in white, black or silver this system is designed for use in the bedroom, kitchen or home office and comes complete with a remote control.

The iDS-03 is a 2.1 system that will pump out your tunes with two 7.5 watt stereo speakers and a 15 watt subwoofer.

Sticking your 'Pod in the iDS-03's dock means it will play, charge and synchronise, but if you connect it to your computer via the mini-USB you can also download and constantly update your music collection.

The interchangeable dock adaptors included mean that the iDS-03 is compatible with the iPod family (apart from the wee Shuffle) and the 3.5mm line-in jack with stereo cable will connect with other audio devices.


AUDICA MPS-1:DOCKING STATION/MUSIC PLAYER


Designed for use with a personal music player, whether it be portable CD, MD player, iPod, MP3 Player or computer system (PC or Mac), the Audica MPS1 will deliver pure music or game sounds in a way that no other stylish system has before - with sound quality that would not embarrass a high end system costing considerably more.

The Audica MPS1 follows the style and construction of the rest of the acclaimed Audica range of speakers,, and sounds as good as they look. Each speaker is constructed from polished extruded high grade aluminium, with the feel of pewter. The speaker section is shaped in such a way as to cancel rearward firing waves from the high tech 50mm drivers, thus increasing driver efficiency and decreasing cabinet resonance.

The Audica MPS1 is complimented by the digital amplifier module giving an output of 25 watts per channel.
Features

* 25W per channel RMS digital amplifier
* Full range stereo speakers
* Three 3.5mm jack socket switchable inputs selectable by remote or front panel of amplifier
* Firewire and USB charging ports

o Equipment with a stereo output
o 2 year manufacturer's warranty


SHANLING MC-30:MUSIC CENTER



The new flea-powered (3Wpc) Shanling MC-30 music center ($995). In one chassis, it combines a CD player, tuner, iPod input, and tube amplification. I especially like the concealed input selector and volume controls (mounted atop those front cylindrical supports).Shanling’s MP3-docking, CD-playing style hi-fi has real individuality, good sound and puts many micros to shame.


ROTH AUDIO MC4 MUSIC COCOON:

The Music Cocoon has been designed for use with the lovely Apple iPod (hence the fairly obvious dock on the top of the amplifier), any portable audio device (that’s why there is a 3.5mm socket on the back of the amplifier), any device which outputs audio to a 3.5mm jack (e.g. a laptop), or a CD player (that’ll be why there is a pair of RCA sockets on the back as well).

This means that regardless of the source unit, the MC4 can handle it, which immediately makes it more useful than a simple docking device for the iPod.

If one considers the iPod or MP3 player, for sure, what you put in is what comes out, so if you are using compressed audio files, we can’t weave some magic to restore what has been lost. However……we can guarantee that the amplifier will add a real warmth and dimension to the music which other amplifiers are not designed to do. That’s the thing about vacuum tubes; there is a science behind their use, but the results cannot be quantified.

When using uncompressed files, this amplifier has the ability to allow you to hear things in the music which you have not heard before. It will bring back the excitement of listening for the first time to that new album from your favourite artist, the same anticipation, but, with a curiously smooth and refined playback which you will not have experienced before. Yes. It is that good.

For CD playback it simply is astonishing and the audio quality and depth generated from such a small amplifier is beyond froody*.

In use, the MC4 is simple to operate and you can of course control the functionality of the iPod from the remote control. We made this nice and chunky so that you’re less likely to lose it.

Main Features

* Hi-Resolution pure tube sound
* 2 pre-amp tube
* Supports different musical sources: i-Pod, CD and MP3
* Volume Control
* iPod Charging
* Overheating protection (85¢)
* Speaker short circuit protection
* Speaker protection when turning on
* Fuse protection in the adapter

JAMO i 300:

i POD (APPLE)

iPod is a brand of portable media player designed and marketed by Apple and launched in October 2001. The line-up currently consists of the original style hard drive-based flagship iPod classic, the iPhone-like iPod touch, the mid-level video-capable iPod nano, and the low-end screenless iPod shuffle. Former products include the compact iPod mini (replaced by the iPod nano) and the high-end spin-off iPod photo (re-integrated into the main iPod classic line). The current iPod classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other current models use flash memory to enable their smaller size. Like many digital music players, iPods can also serve as external data storage devices.Apple's iTunes software is used to transfer music to the devices. As a jukebox application, iTunes stores a music library on the user's computer and can play, burn, and rip music from a CD. It also transfers photos, videos, games, and calendars to those iPod models that support them. Apple focused its development on the iPod's unique user interface and its ease of use, rather than on technical capability. As of September 2007, the iPod had sold over 110 million units worldwide (stated in "The Beat Goes On" conference) making it the best-selling digital audio player series in history.iPod can play MP3, AAC/M4A, Protected AAC, AIFF, WAV, Audible audiobook, and Apple Lossless audio file formats. The iPod photo introduced the ability to display JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, and PNG image file formats. Fifth and sixth generation iPod classics, as well as third generation iPod nanos, can additionally play MPEG-4 (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) and QuickTime video formats, with restrictions on video dimensions, encoding techniques and data-rates. Originally, iPod software only worked with Macs; however, starting with the second generation model, iPod software worked with Windows and Macs. Unlike most other media players, Apple does not support Microsoft's WMA audio format — but a converter for WMA files without Digital Rights Management (DRM) is provided with the Windows version of iTunes. MIDI files also cannot be played, but can be converted to audio files using the "Advanced" menu in iTunes. Alternative open-source audio formats such as Ogg Vorbis and FLAC are not supported without installing custom firmware onto the iPod.

The iPod is associated with one host computer. Each time an iPod connects to its host computer, iTunes can synchronize entire music libraries or music playlists either automatically or manually. Song ratings can be set on the iPod and synchronized later to the iTunes library, and vice versa.Many accessories have been made for the iPod. A large amount are made by third party companies, although many, such as iPod Hi-Fi, are made by Apple.

ONKYO DV-HD 805 HD-DVD PLAYER

ONKYO USA has announced the launch of its first HD-DVD player, the DV-HD805. This player has been introduced to realize the potential of high-definition HD DVD content. It is also one of the first HD DVD players to take advantage of high-bit-rate audio streaming via HDMI version 1.3a. The DV-HD805 will be available in the fall of 2007.
The DV-HD805 is designed to partner with Onkyo’s 2007 A/V receiver line-up. Both the HD DVD player and the A/V receivers feature HDMI version 1.3a connections, making the combination of these components the perfect platform for high-definition 1080p video images. It also nicely complements Onkyo’s A/V receivers by streaming of the new lossless surround sound formats, Dolby® TrueHD and DTS®-HD Master Audio, as well as two “lossy” formats, Dolby® Digital Plus and DTS®-HD High Resolution Audio.

The Onkyo DV-HD805 has the capability to support different frame rates, including playback at 24 frames per second, which is the native frame rate of the original sources for most HD content. This ensures that the user will be able to experience the playback of films recorded to HD DVD with the smoothest, most stable reproduction possible.HDMI version 1.3a allows the DV-HD805 to offer the full potential of high-definition 1080p video (the native resolution of HD DVD discs). Furthermore, HDMI version 1.3a enables Deep Color™ technology to improve color tones and achieve finer color gradation. Also, when connected with the new Onkyo HDMI version 1.3a A/V receivers, the DV-HD805 is capable of high-bit-rate audio streaming output. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound codecs enable bit-for-bit reproduction of the studio master meaning that this player is capable of the highest clarity and most advanced realism from movie soundtracks. It also has the capability to provide Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio bit stream data.

HD DVD specifications allow for the inclusion of web-enabled network connectivity to develop new and unique content such as additional materials and bonus features. In addition to downloading content, HD DVD users also have the ability to upload content and interact with providers, to participate in interactive polls for example. Compared to other media formats, HD DVD is advanced in this capacity. The DV-HD805 includes an Ethernet port to allow users access to these capabilities, as well as enable the user to easily download any future firmware updates.

Recognized as the leading video processing technology in the home theater industry, the DV-HD805’s onboard HQV Reon VX video processing chipset provides exceptionally precise video scaling (to 720p, 1080i or 1080p). When used with the standard-definition DVD format, HQV Reon VX enables viewers to enjoy superior video quality at the native resolution of the connected high-definition display. HQV Reon VX processing also eliminates or substantially reduces video noise for improved video reproduction.

The DV-HD805 will be available in the fall of 2007 at a suggested retail price of $899.

creative zenstone plus mp3 player

Creative has given its barebones ZEN Stone a radical update. The new ZEN Stone Plus adds several features the original Stone lacked: an OLED screen, twice the storage (i.e., 2GB), an FM tuner, voice recording, a stopwatch/clock, and EQ options. Not surprisingly, this array of modifications also raises the price from $40 for the intentionally simple Stone to $70 for the more complex Stone Plus. The ZEN Stone was great because it was as easy to use as an iPod Shuffle, at half the price. The Stone Plus's added features and higher price, however, have placed it in direct competition with some more graceful (and cheaper) solutions, like the Sansa Express, our Editors' Choice for inexpensive flash players. Both devices have their merits, and the consumer's decision between the two will likely come down to a battle between design and storage capacity.
