2010 Zune 30GB Review
Posted on 21. Aug, 2010 by admin.
The 2010 Zune 30GB is an amazing multimedia device equipped with a plethora of features that would put almost every other MP4 player to shame. In fact, the Zune has quickly become a favorite amongst the technological community for its unique design and capabilities. The new Zune houses an amazing 30 GB of memory space. Just to put that into perspective for you, that is around 10,000 full length songs! Now of course most people don’t have a song library that big, but fortunately the Zune holds movies and podcasts as well!
The Zune can also host a variety of fun applications like games for those times when simply watching something is not enough to keep you entertained. When compared to the iPod the Zune can hold more data for the same amount of memory. For example, a 30 GB iPod would hold around 300 songs less than a 30GB Zune. That is about 20-30 albums of wasted space!
Another advantage the Zune has over devices like the Apple iPod is the fact that it is Windows based. Many have reported that the process of loading songs onto an iPod is much slower than the process of loading a Zune. This should definitely be considered as a 30 GB MP4 player needs to have a quick transfer time to remain convenient. Since the Zune player is Windows compatible, items can be dragged directly into the device from the Windows Media Library almost instantly!
Aside from the storage space the device also comes with a 3 inch screen which is obviously much more convenient than the tiny iPod screen. This small screen makes it much easier to view videos without having to hook the device up to an external display. With all of the new features and the absurd capacity of the 2010 30 GB Zune it is easy to see why it is rapidly becoming an industry favorite.

Samsung Instinct Phone Review – Can it Compete with the iPhone?
Posted on 14. Apr, 2010 by admin.
The Samsung Instinct is an incredible smart phone that has been garnering much attention lately as being the only phone that could possibly compete with the Apple iPhone. Like the iPhone the Samsung Instinct is a touch screen with interactive scrolling capabilities, and the phone shares many other similarities. The sliding features of the phone are perhaps what make it so appealing.
There are a variety of functions that can be performed with the simple slid of a finger. For example, if an incoming call arrives you would tap the screen to answer it or slide your finger downwards if you’d like to ignore it. To hang up a call, simply slide your finger form left to right. One of the coolest aspects of the Samsung Instinct is the ability to delegate favorite buttons and commands within the phone. You can choose which correspond with certain actions.
The clicking of the touch screen is surprisingly convenient and accurate, as the clicking actually takes place on an invisible grid. Speaking of grid, there is also an image browsing mode that lets you flip through images on an open grid, similar to the iPhone. This grid also includes videos (which by the way can be recorded with the phone and are of a notably high quality). In comparison to the iPhonje, the Samsung Instinct is very affordable and offers many of the same features, however the iPhone beats the Samsung in respect to software applications that are compatible with the phone.
