The DVD to iPad converter rips the audio and video files from the CD to the iPad. It can convert MP4, MPEG-4, H.264 videos and MP3, AAC and M4A audios. When extracting the files from DVD to iPad, the file are ripped at the best resolution so that the you, the viewer, enjoys the same listening and watching pleasure you would get from watching the film on a DVD player.

This program has amazing editing features. If you want to watch the first half of the movie, you can split the DVD movie and convert the video segment into the iPad. In addition, you can capture movie stills, preview other DVD movies, and even customize conversion parameters so that that movie being converted doesn’t take up too much memory space. The actual converting of files from DVD to iPad can cover up multiple files in the movie at one time. In other words, you don’t have to worry about transferring each file from the DVD one at a time. The program allows you to do the transfers per batch.

While the price disparities leaves much to discuss about, mega pixels have become the varying point for most users, something that has been seen as a point of preference by most potential digital camera buyers. It is normal to note that while word of mouth higher mega pixels would be heard, these people do not really know why the need for higher pixels would be ideal other than best image quality output.

Even 3.2 mega pixel cameras would do, it’s just that prices have varied. Just like technology today, such has become something worth the barter since higher mega pixel cameras offered at good prices will be grabbed at every opportunity given. But if a choice was to be made, especially with pricing in tow, chances are people will prefer the lower one, since outside that of being cheaper, a digital camera still serves the same way of taking pictures, its main purpose overall.

Palm Desktop Applications have been one of the common gadgets we see around. To most it helps take the place of the old school style of maintaining planners and appointments while to some, it is simply getting in with the times.

PDAs can be usually seen nearby executives and people who are always on the go. But to seriously use such devices religiously has not been that convincing, considering that it is a gadget that seems to be overrated.

One thing that the PDA has leaned on is technology and reviews according to the people who look for them and own them. Not all people will need a PDA, especially if they are not aware of what it is really for.

Using a Stylus pointer and opening some applications that come with the PDA is perhaps the basic thing to do. Alarms, notes and calculator application, people may eventually ask, why a PDA when people can use their advanced cellular phones today?

There’s been a lot of hype about the latest sensory fabrics to hit the market (see previous post on the couples-therapy sofa), and the latest thing of a more practical nature is Eleksen’s wireless fabric keyboard. Finally released through certified retail outlets and directly to lager companies such as those using mobile solutions with Smartphone platforms in the UK, the product is designed around the company’s ElekTex smart fabric touchpad technology. Light as a feather (just 65 grams) and designed with the term “compact” in mind, the keyboard is extremely portable, and easily rolls up to a nifty size to squeeze in to the smallest bags or pockets. Unlike traditional keyboards which have the annoying problem of gathering dust, coffee spills and biscuit crumbs from the average working day, Eleksen’s ElekTex smart fabric enables this clever device to offer easy clean-up and virtually water-damage resistant (spills are ok, but don’t take it swimming with you) through its absence of mechanical parts and fabulous wipe-clean capabilities. Once you roll out one of these babies, it magically becomes the size of most laptop keyboards, which makes it perfect for mobile devices and on-the-road work. The only hitch is its price and availability – around $73 – and you’ll have to get it through a certified reseller or one of the bigger companies.

The technology started out as a fad made available on expensive audio equipment like BOSE which came out with cordless noise cancelling headphones for it’s various audio video products. Nowadays, the technology can be found on Bluetooth cellular phone headsets like the one from Aliph code named “JawBone” which cancels out background noise when making and receiving a call allowing comfortable and natural conversation.

Devices using Bluetooth have similarities whatever form they may take for they all rely on radio frequencies to communicate with each other. They are paired-up or connected to each other allowing them to recognize each other which many people do not realize but there are tons of devices that use Bluetooth out on the market that they connect at all is the miracle of the technology. The radio frequency that “WiFi” uses is similar to what Bluetooth uses which makes pollution or noise very much abundant hence the need for the said noise cancellation technology. There are a lot of wireless Bluetooth headsets on the market for all kinds of devices such as mobile phones a comparison of which can be found on many reviews on the net with a certain search.

While such is a given, there are people who can give their two cents worth of opinions and stored knowledge as well. This all stems from these individuals who have put emphasis on certain areas of interest that include electronics, travel and history. Not all people are expected to invest such effort and time since every individual would want to cater to a lot of things with nothing particular to specialize in.

Ideally, such knowledge from people which are tagged geeks at some time would go as far as holding technical information such as content, components and workflow processes. Such areas are not given much attention in the normal phase of life. But such are investments to which one day; such stored and solicited knowledge shall be of big use towards other people and big entities who seek better knowledge as well.

Software applications have little bearing on the burning output of a compiled project. Nero and Roxio, two of the better known burning software today, contains such features of CD burning. People would rely largely on the default setting, the default of which is the maximum writing speed of a DVD/ CD writer drive. The usual speeds offer 12X, 32X, 54X and 72X among others.

Compatibility once the project has been successfully compiled will always be the next area for consideration. A burned CD that fails to play would usually be over-burned or be linked to compatibility issues with the independent player being used. Ideally, the default speed for conservative burning is 12X or the maximum speed of the drive is capable of.

But what if you had portability with a full sized keyboard?  That’s what the guys at ThinkGeek have come up with – a full sized keyboard that can be rolled up so you can take it with you anywhere you go!  Netbook users who miss the ease of a full size keyboard can simply roll this baby up, put it in their bags, and then unroll it anytime!  Gamers who are on the road a lot will also welcome this roll up keyboard as it will make their packs lighter.

This is nothing new, truth be told.  We’ve seen and heard of keyboards like this one before, but according to user reviews, this roll up keyboard has amazing performance.  While it may take some getting used to, the keys are quite responsive – thanks to the number of sensors built in.  Even better, this keyboard is moisture proof and dust proof as well!  The keyboard connects through the USB or PS2  port.

Speaking of cute, have you seen this USB thumb drive from Mimobot? Dubbed the Pink Meletta, it is sure to catch anyone’s eye – geek or not! I have to admit that when I first set my eyes on it (albeit via the Internet), my attention was caught. Not because it’s pink. Not because it’s a thumb drive. I don’t really know why, but I found myself wondering if I should get it or not.

Valentine’s Day is over now but it never is too late to get someone a gift and I thought that the Pink Meletta would be perfect for someone I know. More than being a simple flash drive – how anyone could think that something designed like this would be simple, I don’t know – it also has preloaded content. Let me name a few: graphics, sounds, and video. I don’t have to say that the content is all about love and cuteness, do I?

Still, if you are into those things or you know someone who is, $24.95 for the 1G version is what you need. If you want more storage, you just need to add more to that price.

If you purchase a Lacie hard drive you’ll get, as bonus, a year of online backup. Lacie partnered with Carbonite to offer automatic backup. Automatic (?), yes, automatic. Kinda like Apple’s Time Machine. When your Windows computer is idle, and the Lacie drive is plugged in, Carbonite will automatically find new or modified files, encrypt them twice, and then transmit them via https to a secured data center.

This service is a $50 value and is only available for drives which was purchased after October 15. Boy, this is such a mind cruncher if you’ve gotten a drive before this date. I wish companies would make offers a little more generous, or say somethings great to happen way in advance! I love how Apple does it.

I wonder how this plays with media files though. With Lacie’s latest offer of a media portable HD, will this offer automatically upload huge modified or new media files too? Ouch! That will be a bandwidth hog specially if you’re sharing bandwidth, like say in an office?
