In the next lines we will help you understand how your iPod works and how to manage it by presenting you a very short iPod Nano Users Manual.
ipod-nano-users-manual

Before connecting your iPod Nano to your computer you need to install a software called iTunes. This software allows you to import, play music or videos on your iPod and without it you will have zero file transfer because the computer won't recognize the iPod if  iTunes is not installed. If you have an iPod with a color screen this iPod Software allows the iPod to display videos and images.

The software is very easy to install, all you have to do is click on the iTunes installation button and the installer guides you through the steps necessary to install iTunes. Next you will have to select a destination for the installation of the software and the type of installation (this depends on the type of your Ipod Nano)

Then you must connect and set up your iPod Nano, to do that you must connect your iPod to a USB port located on your computer or connect it to an Apple iPod Power Adapter. You must do this step so you can see if your iPod is charging and for computer recognize it.

When you finished the set up, the iTunes will open. This is the moment when you can pick and choose what music, audiobooks or videos you want to add on your iPod. Please remember that if you want to add some music from a CD or DVD, or you have it in your hard drive it must first be imported in iTunes. To do that, when you import music from a CD just insert the CD in your CD or DVD drive and a dialog opens asking you if you would like to import the CD, if you don't want to import all the songs click No, and ckeck only the songs you want to import and them click the "Import CD" button.

The next step to import music in to your iPod is to connect the iPod to your computer and then open iTunes. Select iPod in the Devices section and go in the main iTuners browser window selecting the Music Tab. You will have the option to import all songs or your favorite playlist. You can also sync podcasts, movies, audiobooks and photos.

After you decided what to import on your iPod from iTunes click "apply", please do not disconnect your iPod while this process is in progress, disconnect it only when you get the message "iPod sync is complete" on screen, you will also see the message "OK to disconnect" on  your iPod.

Now the fun can begin; playing podcasts, audiobooks, songs, and games on any iPod with a display is easy, all you have to do is simply choose a file from a menu and then press the Play/Pause button to start playing; if you want to pause a song or something else just press the button again. You can use Previous/Rewind or/and Next/Fast-forward buttons to navigate through audiobooks, songs, podcasts or playlists.

When a song or an audiobook is playing, your iPod is displaying the song details onscreen, such as the artist name and song name, the iPod will also display a progress bar that shows you how long the file has been playing on the left and how much time is left on the right.

The Click Wheel helps you turn the volume up or down, all you have to do is to scroll the Click Wheel while an audio file is playing and the volume will change.

You can also find songs to play by artist, album or song name.

ipodnano


This is short manual of iPod Nano. Is not difficult to use once you get used to it and we are letting you discover for your self other things iPod Nano can do. If you want more information you can always access the Apple website and there you will find there anything you want to know about Apple products.

Is easy to fall in love with this product the sound and display quality are very good; a big plus is that when a song is played at a lower volume you do not hear the background noise that is so common in other players. On the other side, at a high volume the sound quality is remarkable and that confirms the reputation of Apple products in this area.

The battery last if you are playing music al least 14 hours and if you are playing a video at least 5 hours.

There are many voices which are saying that the iTune software could have been better realized or that the iPod could have survived with out it, the arguments against are that you can only connect your iPod to the computer with iTunes installed and only with this software you can download iTunes music, games or movies.

This issue remains at the discretion of the person who buys the product if he/she considers that the software helps him/her manage the iPod better.

6 Comments »

posted in gadgets, by BindApple

The iPhone is an multimedia and internet enabled smart phone released by Apple Inc. It have some common features between every model like video camera phone, portable media player (PMP), an internet client with web browsing, e-mail and wi-fi. Also it have a multi touch display which renders a virtual keyboard in a QWERTY system  as an alternative to the physical keyboard.

The iPhone 3G have a smoothie metal case with a black bare on the bottom. The front has a bezel made from shiny metal that ends around the display. The keypads are constructed from plastic and very easily to move. The headphone has a black plastic black and a mesh made from plastic which is hiding the speakers in front.

The 3G iPhone has a glass finish, available in black and white. This coating runs unbreakable around the phone, and ends in the same spot with the metal bezel. The keypads of iPhone 3G are made from metal, a shiny one, with the exception of home button. This gives them a more thinker feel at their touch, despite the old 2G model which had plastic buttons. Instead of the classic black case of the earphones from 2G model, the 3G model have a silver mesh, perforated. The same model of mesh is used also for the bottom speaker phone.

A difference between 2G and 3G aspect it is the 2 screws from the bottom side of the second one, which can be used for opening the case. Another big difference can be the new  headphone jack., but the main difference at the exterior between them is the case from the back side, 3G model being more shaped than the other one. The 2G model is rounded and shaped on the edges but flat on the backside. The 3G model  the shapes are more pronounced and the phone is also wider than the original model. The display of the iPhone 3G is also a bit more warmer than the original model.

The upgrade from 2G to 3G didn't make very many differences between integrated features. The 3G have GPS, and the capability to download files at a high speed, more higher than 2G. The GPS is very accurate , needing only few seconds to  discover a location. Comparing to the iPhone 2G and the original iPhone, the new model it is distinctly more precise and a lot more faster. While the 3G show less bars, the 2G smart phone  full bars. You can make a simple test and try to download some software from Apple Store or browse the internet. The page update rate is bigger on the 3G version than on the other model.

Except this GPS and the 3G network, there isn't any major difference between this two models of Apple's smart phones or any other features.

iphone3gvs2g


Comparing the both models, you can see a huge difference between the hardware part, the software being mostly the same.

As operating system, both 3G and the Original use the iPhone OS 3.1.2, build as 7D11 and released in October 8, 2009. Both have the same battery of 3.7 V differing the number of ampere for hour, the 1st one having 1150 and the second a little more, around 1400. Both using a lithium ion polymer battery which it is internal rechargeable and not able to be removed.

As for processors there aren't any differences neither here. The original 2G and the 3G iPhones have a Samsung 32 bit RISC ARM1178JZ v1.0. with 620 MHz that can be under clocked to 412 MHz  and a Power VR chipset from the MBX Lite 3D category. If the original had 3 variants of flash memory capacity to choose, the 3G model it is available only in 8 GB and 16 GB types, because they considered the 4 GB type a little more insufficient and useless.

Both iPhones have the same memory of 128 MB DRAM and the same display with 320 x 480 pixels, 3,5 inches, 2:3 aspect ratio, and 18 bit which provides 262 144 colors, all integrated into a LCD with 163 pixels per inch (ppi).

The input layout is made by the multi touching screen, the headset controls, the 2 proximity and ambient light sensors and the 3-axis accelerometer. Also, the camera have 2.0 mega pixels with geo tagging.

Excepting the Wi-fi band, the Bluetooth 2.0, the USB 2.0 and the quad band GSM, 3G also included for connectivity the A-GPS, a tri band UMTS/HSDPA.
