Streamzap PC Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently, I replaced the CD Player on my stereo with a full blown PC and use my TV as the "monitor". I had been using a wireless keyboard and MusicMatch software for playing my MP3 files. After a while, I got tired of having to keep the keyboard with me if I wanted to switch tracks, stop playback, pause, etc. I found this little gizmo after a quick search and it does everything I need. The software that comes with it integrates well with the popular music software (MusicMatch, Windows Media Player, Winamp, and many more), and you can even use the remote as a rudimentary mouse. Of course, you can't enter text with it, but if you're using a PC as a stereo component, this remote is great.
You get the remote and a USB infrared receiver. Installation is a snap, and the range is great. StreamZap has said they're considering modifying the software so it would be compatible with other brand remotes, eliminating the need for their remote altogether which would be a nice touch. Until then, I programmed their remote codes into my universal remote and it takes care of everything.

Wireless Networking Technology: From Principles to Successful Implementation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Are you a wireless networking system developer? If you are, then this book is for you! Author Steve Rackley, has done an outstanding job of writing a book which aims to give the reader a detailed insight into the wide variety of wireless networking technology available today.
Rackley, begins by introducing you to the logical and physical architecture of wireless networks. In addition, the author describes the basics of wireless communications. The author then focuses on what perhaps is the most important operating scale for wireless networks: The Local area Network. Next, he takes a detailed look at wireless networking technologies on the personal area scale, including Bluetooth, wireless USB, ZigBee, IrDA and Near Field Communications. Then, he looks at how the metropolitan area networking challenges of scalability, flexibility and quality of service have been addressed by wireless MAN standards, particularly WiMax. The author continues by looking at four emerging technologies: wireless mesh routing, network independent handover, gigabit wireless LANs and cognitive radio. Finally, he provides a quick reference guide to some of the key online information sites and resources relating to wireless networking.
This most excellent book provides the reader with sufficient depth to gain an understanding of the fundamentals and diversity of the principles of wireless networking technologies. Perhaps more importantly, this book will serve as a foundation on which, a discussion of the principal aspects of wireless network implementation can be grounded!

Griffin Technology RadioShark AM / FM Desktop Radio with Time-Shift Recording Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I already have a couple software programs that will automatically record and save radio programming but when the Radio Shark was announced, I couldn't resist. Mac elegance, simplicity and functionality. Or so I thought. The product is solid, well made and the software is easy to use. Unfortunately, the reception is unacceptably poor in my suburban, residential area. Every radio I own from clock radios, a couple Tivoli Pal's, a built in-whole house system, mini-systems and so on receive programming easily. The Radio Shark's reception is inferior to even the lowliest of portables. I've tried everything I can think of. Coiling the USB cable, moving it to every place within reach, using a high dollar shielded usb extension cable which also allowed me to move the Shark further from the computer), using the Radio Shark's headphone input with a pair of ear buds and a minijack to rca cable (as Griffin's website suggests). Nothing seems to help. I have two other radios within 18 inches of computers and they were pretty easy to set up and receive clear, static free programming. The Radio Shark has been a huge disappointment. I should have learned my lesson after purchasing the Power Mate from this company. The Power mate (ditto for the Radio Shark) is very high quality piece of hardware from a fit and finish standpoint but the software was glitchy with a pc. Maybe it would have been better with a mac. But I digress. Perhaps if you live far from all urban and suburban interference or live on a hill with better line of site to the towers you want to receive from, the Radio Shark might be fine. For the rest of us, the Radio Shark is likely to disappoint. If you want to time shift radio programming, I can recommend two excellent pieces of software. High Criteria's Total Recorder Pro (for the pc) and Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack Pro for the Mac. I don't work for or profit from either comany. I use both on a daily basis. Both are rock solid. All you need to do is connect a radio to your pc or mac and you're set.

ADS RDX-155-EF Instant FM Music Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This radio was very easy to install and the retractable antenna is cool and works well. The Instant Radio application is simple, but functional for radio listening or basic recording, but the Snaptune One software is very cool. You have to set up a recording and let it go for a while, but after a couple of days I had more than 80 songs....50 of them had artist name, song title and ablum art....very cool. Then I just right clicked on the song title and sent the songs to iTunes. The audio quality is FM, but sounds pretty damn good for FREE Songs.

Bose? SoundLink? wireless music system Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"I was excited for this product to come out and hoped it would work with my iPhone "remote" application which it does nicely. I had the wireless key plugged into my macbook pro and everything works flawlessly as long as your wireless computer network is not on. When it is the Bose Soundlink can't cope and the music cuts in and out and is useless (the troubleshooting guide even acknowledges this!). It seems that you can either listen to your wireless music with the Soundlink OR surf the internet but not both at the same time. If you need to do both simultaneously do not get this product.
Instead get an Airport Express and the Bose Companion 3 speakers to set up a wireless music system through iTunes and AirTunes. You'll also save about $200 this way.
The Bose Soundlink is way too expensive not to have this wireless glitch resolved. Until Bose fixes this, beware of this potentially fabulous product."
