Well, I just finally broke down and ordered a Flip MinoHD. I went all over Portland this weekend looking at every mall, department store, camera and electronics boutique I could find, and none of them had one in stock, so I had to get it on Amazon. I did save $20 however and I got free overnight shipping. It won’t be in stock until January 24th though. It’s always something, I swear!
The estimated delivery date is next Tuesday, just in time for another installment of Technolust Tuesday. I will be providing a full review of the camera, as well as using it to create video blogs in the future to keep everyone up to date on the goings on here at AppleSource.
TimeNet 3.9.21 is almost done. What can you expect? We have worked very hard to fix all of the bugs surrounding:
UK/Europe Date Formats & Numeric Formats
Rounding of Earnings and Time
Archiving and Unarchiving Projects
In addition to these great stability and integrity improvements, we are paving the way for the exciting 4.0 update, which will have over 30 new features, interface improvements and other enhancements!
3.9.21 will be available as a free upgrade by the end of the day, and TimeNet 4 will follow closer to the end of the month as a paid upgrade. Keep watching our blog for updates as the TimeNet 4 launch gets closer and closer.
Hey guys, Ian here! It’s Tuesday again, and time for me to share with you something new and amazingly cool! In keeping with the new year in just a couple more days, I think it’s time to review the Myvu Personal Media Viewer, the future of personal media and entertainment.
Did you ever think “Man I love my iPod but this tiny screen just isn’t doing it for me.”? Welcome to the Myvu Personal Media Viewer. The Myvu media viewer has three options to to fit your lifestyle and needs.
The Myvu Crystal ($299) is the flagship of Myvu corporations portable media viewer line, featuring a slim design for superior portability and comfort, as well as full VGA quality (640×480) Featuring SolidOptex® – the Myvu patented optical system and built in noise canceling earbuds. Up to 4 hours of rechargeable battery life.
The Myvu Solo Plus ($99) features QVGA quality video output (320×240) and similar noise canceling earbuds and battery life (up to 4 hours of rechargeable battery life).
The Myvu Shades ($160) features QVGA (320×240), noise canceling earbuds, and up to 10 hours of rechargeable battery life.
All of these models feature full screen viewing of your various media types played through your iPod, iPhone, Zune, Archos player, Nokia N95, and pretty much anything else that accepts standard RCA plugs. A nice touch they have added is noise isolating ear buds, so those long flights and loud background noises won’t be an issue when you’re trying to enjoy that new episode of The Big Bang Theory or perhaps that next blockbuster film…
Now do keep one thing in mind: the full VGA video output is going to look a little grainy on most media players as they are usually designed for smaller resolutions (320×240 or so) You will probably want to re-code your video to a larger format or simply begin downloading/ripping higher quality videos.

Our resident in-house gadget geek and software beta tester, Ian Darby, will be writing about a new hot product every Tuesday! Ian is a hot-shot sales aficionado at a big-name electronics store that shall remain nameless. You can look forward to reading his reviews and recommendations about new must-have guilty techno-pleasures.
He will take the helm next Tuesday, so let me pave the way by telling you all about MY latest tech craving:
You’ve probably seen the commercials, or the banner ads around the internet: this thing is everywhere. Believe me though, it SHOULD be! It’s pretty darn amazing.

As you can see, you can customize the look of your MinoHD with custom pictures, preset designs, a pattern generator, or simply go with the sleek all black model.
The MinoHD is super easy to work with. Remarkably simple to use and compact in design, but deceptively powerful. The picture quality is absolutely amazing, and even the built in microphone is top-notch and records with impressive results.
