I can’t say for sure when I know I was bitten but I have the date on my receipts (11/15/09). I guess I was late to the iPod party but I’ve not missed a step since I got involved with “Buck,” my iPod.

I’ve got 3 now, one just for movies, and another for music and one for data and I’m negotiating with a contact in China for 5 more.

iPod is the brain child of Steven Jobs, Apple guru and all around genius. More than 22 million ipods were sold to US adults by the end of 2007, which amounts to approximately 11% of the population (according to the non-profit Pew Internet & American Life Project). In just the first quarter of 2010 over 22 million were sold! iPod sales continue to be a strong part of Apple’s financial growth.

Since I’ve become a fan and user and my addiction continues to grow stronger. Now I spend my days learning about new applications and my nights surfing for clearance sales, closeouts, underground sources for discounts on accessories. For example, last week I found a site that sells what they call an iPod Converter.

This unit allows for unlimited downloads of movies and music and games and software and provides a lifetime membership in their download club. As a full blown movie nut this little handful of technology is gobbling up my free time by the hour.

Talk about addiction, I was rummaging through some magazines in the basement of the library at midnight (don’t ask) and found this underground techie magazine. There was a story about an MP3 converter that took me a few minutes to realize was the iPod converter I heard about last week.

The techie manual indicated this is better than Blockbuster and NetFlicks all rolled into one very user friendly palm-sized unit. I’ll share the link here anyone who is interested can read all about it.

As I continue to learn about all-things-iPod I’ve just discovered about iPod hacks. This reference startled me at first as it is not in my nature to destroy other’s enjoyment in any manner, especially when it comes to something like PCs and iPods.

What I learned is the term hacks when it refers to iPod is another way of saying accessories, except that the modification most likely will void your iPod’s warrantee. In any case the lists I found were nothing less than fascinating.

For instance, according to howstuffworks.com, the range of accessories includes downloadable iPod games and programs that convert DVDs to iPod-friendly video files. There are also programs that convert PDA files your PowerPoint presentations into files that work with your iPod-compatible.

The howstuffworks website also provided a reference to a list of some current applications:
“iPod hackers are publishing all sorts of programs that alter the way an iPod works — some of the software is free, and some of it is for purchase. Some currently available hacks let you:

• Make an iPod work with Linux machines and run Linux applications
• Remove volume caps (iPods sold in Europe cap the volume at 100 decibels; uncapped iPods can reach more than 115 decibels.)
• Turn your iPod into a universal remote
• Attach an external hard drive to your iPod to increase the storage capacity
• Change your iPod’s font and graphics
• Watch movies on your iPod in full-screen mode
• Plug your iPod into any computer (even without iTunes) and listen to music from the hard drive
• Transfer photos to iPod without using iTunes
• Replace iTunes all together as the iPod’s main jukebox
• Use an iPod with a Windows 98 machine “

While I am fascinated with the expansion this provides I am too cautious and protective of Buck to try anything other than factory sealed products from Apple. I can be patient until they ramp up to the accessory list I peeked at in an underground publication.

The upcoming  Apple app list is robust and will blow away the hacker’s meager offerings. Meanwhile, I’ll stick to my movie and music downloading which keeps me rather busy and satisfied.

However if you hear any buzz about an auto-pilot for long cross-country drives that’s compatible with a Hyundai Genesis, please pass it on. I might just let Buck give it a try.

It is indeed a good thing to see all the gadgets that we have now a day and able to use them. There is indeed lots of progress with the different device that we are using. One of the reasons for this is the growing competition between the different company technologies. Looking with the current trend that we have it is clear that the Apple’s iPad is becoming a favorite and is leading in the market when it comes to devices. Asus decided to have a great move and will now launch their major device which is the Asus Eee Pad.

Computex will be the one in charge with this big release and it is said that the details will be available anytime this June. For those who are waiting for this latest gadget you need to be prepared as this will be available in the market this July. It has been a long process for the company of Computex and the device has been inspected and tested well. It is said that it has an Nvidja Tegra chip on it and as well as the Google Android OS. The advantage that you can have with this device compare with your ordinary iPad is that it has a USB port and you can be used a web cam support for the adobe flash.

The picture of this most awaited Asus Eee Pad is now already available in the Internet. This really looks cool and amazing. Having a little glimpse of the details of this Asus Eee pad might interest you so here it is. The product dimension of this device is that it is a 12 inches tablet. It has an Intel Core Duo CULV with a low voltage processor. It is operated with Windows 7 home premium. It is 12. 2 mm thick so it was not really disturbing to carry along wherever you go. This only weighs 1.48 lbs or 675 grams.

This is even eye catching because the features said that it can run for 10 hours with video playing. I know that there are lots of people who are interested to know the price but it is not informed yet. The full specs are also not yet available but will be released soon.

We can’t deny that there is a big progress that is happening with the technology that we have every no and then. This is very much proven because of the upgraded device that we are having. Apple TV will never be late when it comes to this kind of stuff. This is a digital media receiver and has a small form factor network appliance. This is made for the playing of the digital contents that are coming from the iTunes.

Apple TV is one of the fantastic devices that you can have as this is use for a theater in your home connected with an iPad and can be use as a digital media device. Apple TV has been released in the public in year 2006. This was introduced first in San Francisco, California with Steve Jobs who is the CEO of Apple. As years goes by there are lot of changes that are seen with the version of Apple TV. The first version has a 40 GB of storage and the second version upgraded having 160 GB as its storage. The sales of the Apple TV have increased as well. The records shows that in the year of 2008 the sales are already triple compare with what the 2007 has. They have decided to terminate the version with 40 GB and stick with the 160 GB storage. They also made some changes in year 2009 having their operating system turned into version 3.0 in order to accommodate wide-screen.

Other than these previous changes there are also circulating humors in the net that there will be the updated Apple TV that can run on iPhone OS 4 and an A4 processor. The device will now cost $99 USD. The recent model of the Apple TV that is release in the public is worth $229. There are assumptions made by the public that Apple TV is now on its way for updating their version because the Google is intending to have its Google TV. Google TV is a web content-to-TV delivery system and will be released next few months. This will be indeed a tough fight for Apple TV.

If you are well informed about the hottest trend that is happening today in the progress in technology devices then you must be informed about this Asus eee pad. It is true that the Apple’s iPad has been ruling for a while now. But Asus is trying to fight back having its own version of currently eee pad.

It is said that Computex will be having the details release in June but the device will be put on sale in the market on July. This kind of device surely has gone through hard process to be able to pass the Computex. Nvidja Tegra chip is used and as well as the use of Google Android OS. This is somehow different with the usual iPad because it has one USB port and a web cam support for adobe flash.

After all the news and humors about the coming of asus eee pad this is just the first time that its picture has been release in the public. Lots of people are indeed getting interested with it. The Asus eee pad is a 12 inches tablet that is generated with the use of Intel Core Duo CULV with a low voltage processor. This is indeed amazing to have because of the features. This is runs Windows 7 home premium. This measures 12.2 mm thick and it weights 1.48 lbs which is 675 grams. This is very convenient as this is very light to carry more than the lighter and thinner iPad.

Another amazing thing with this new Asus eee pad is that the manufacturer claims that the batteries can run for 10 hours. This is a bit intriguing as this claim level with the Apple’s product. As proven by lots of people who have the Apple iPad it can run for ten hours and play video. Let us just hope that this Asus eee pad can also do the same. At the moment there is still no further information about the price. The full specs of this new device are still unknown so there is still information that we need to watch out.
