Jamm MP3 Player Review

Have you seen this tiny little MP3 player. For sure this is not the latest MP3 player, but it does posses some neat characteristics to be branded as "cool"

This tiny gadget has a memory of 1G. It looks much more a USB Flash drive than an MP3 Player. It has a smaller jack-in compared to the regular MP3 Player. It has 2 sets of buttons, Vol-/Back and Forward/Vol+.

What's funny about this MP3 Player is that, it doesn't have a turn on/off button. The player automatically turns-on if you plug in the jack of the earphone and automatically shuts down if you plug it out.

It doesn't come with charger since you don't need one. All you have to do is to plug it in USB port of your PC and it automatically charge itself.

What I don't know as of the moment is how long can it play. What I only tried is to plug it for 2 hours, and played it for about 2 hours also. I think it can go further because it did not stop even after 2 hours.

How To Repair XP

The answer obviously depends on what is wrong with your XP. There are lots of factors that are involve before we can safely say the right way to repair your XP operating system. Some factors are caused by hardware while some are caused by software bugs.

Taking away the hardware factors, let us focus on software factors. I just recently discovered this site that offers a repair of your XP. It is not free, but its worth a try since most of us are not techie. If you are willing to pay the price, then this can be a good solution.

Reimage is offering its one of a kind pc repair technology to the general public. They claim that they can repair most XP bugs and other XP problems. Here are just some of the many things that it can repair:

• Computer doesn't hibernate

• Windows pop up message: “Task manager has been disabled by your administrator”

• IP Config makes computer hang

• Antivirus 2009/2008 cannot be uninstalled.

• Antivirus 2009.2008 wallpaper hijack

• Clicking Internet Explorer creates another short cut instead of opening the browser

• etc. CLICK HERE.

The big set back of this software is its price. It cost around $65-79. I think this is too expensive for an outdated, faced out software.

With the big turn of our economy, I think it is still better to repair it yourself by spending a little time for personal research over the net. Not only that you will learn a lot, but it is also a way lot cheaper than to pay a third party repair technicians. But if you have no time for research and have lots of reserve money, then perhaps this is a good investment to protect your important files stored in your computer.

Review of Asus AiGuru SV1 – Skype Video Phone

Skype is one of the fastest growing internet phones in the world. Even here in my own place, if people are not using Yahoo Messenger, they are using Skype.

One of the main features of Skype is their development of their own video phones that you can connect in your own PC. All you need is an internet connection. Asus AiGuru SV1 is not a cellphone, but an internet phone.

Asus AiGuru SV1 gives full video conferencing using PC and an internet connection. It is very straight forward to use. You can use a network cable to connect it to your PC or you can use it wirelessly. And of course it is easier to use it wirelessly. All you have to do is to enter your WEP or WPA key via the cursor key and on screen keyboard.

It is very portable and flexible. The housing is adjustable and it comes with rechargeable batteries. With these features, you can easily move it around the house.

Some people who already have this said that the on-screen keyboard is a little fiddly but using a laptop/pc keyboard and mouse makes it easier to use.

Reported price: £219.95

Review Of Printer Lexmark Z515

This printer might be out of market now because this model has been issued about 5 years ago and I must be probably one of the few who have it first. Amazingly, when I checked the market, there are still many online companies that are selling this model, or at least an upgraded model of this amazing printer. Because I have been very satisfied with this printer product of Lexmark, I want to make a review of it.

This printer is capable of printing 12 pages per minute for black and 7 pages per minute for colored. It is has a 4800 x1200 dpi maximum. Click Here for complete specification.

But what really amazes me with this printer is its durability, consistency, and flexibility.

Durability – This printer is probably 85% made up of plastic. But printers like this should not be measured to what it is made of, but to how long it lasts. My Lexmark Z515 is still good and running until now, and it is already 5 years old. It's printing capabillity has never changed a bit. It still fast, still reliable.

Estimatedly, I have printed not less than 5,000 pages already.

Consistency – This printer is consistent in its performance. Once set up, everything will be very easy. Unlike other printers, some are really complicated to operate especially when there are printing failures. I never re-installed the printer driver again once I set it up on a computer. Unlike some printing programs that can easily be corrupted.

I also like the printing program installed. It talks!!! I haven't seen any printer driver that have this kind of software (well at least for the printers that I know of).

The printing result is very nice. The draft mode for text printing is almost good as it was set up in a normal mode. By this, you will be able to save more ink and evidently print more pages.

Flexibility – This printer works even if you have only one cartridge, whether you only have a black cartridge or a colored cartridge, it doesn't matter. It will still work.

Another thing that I can add to its flexibility is its adaptability to adapt itself for ink refills. Just like HP printers, this printer can be refilled using an ink injection refill. You can refill the cartridge up to 3 times before replacing the cartridge

This printer is very light, small, foldable, but reliable.

Review Of NetGear WGT624 Wireless Router

NetGear has the reputation of delivering a good service among its routers. And this one is not an exemption. This wireless router is capable of delivering up to 108 Mbps when used in conjunction with 108 Mbps network cards.

WGT624 is also capable of delivering a good service in video conferencing, downloading large files, photos, and stream MP3 music. It is 10 times faster when used in conjunction with 802.11b wireless networking devices.

When it comes to security, it is equipped with a double firewall (NAT and SPI) which is the first line of defence against any intruder attack, plus a multiple VPN pass through for private communication. It has WEP or WPA-PSK to just allow computer units that you want to connect. Mac addressing is also one of its features and many more.

Setting it up is also not a problem. All you have to do is to put the CD installer in your CD ROM, follow instructions and that's it. Unlike other cheap wireless routers, I did not even spent a sweat in setting this router.

For my personal feedback, I have tried connecting this router to 1 desktop and 2 laptops all at the same time and does not experienced any slow down. When it comes to range of signal, the signal is still very strong within five meters. I can even pick up to 50% of the signal for a distance of 5 meters with a double concrete walling.

So if you have a 2 story house with about 50-60 sq metters floor area, I think this router can still effectively deliver the signal you need for excellent web experience where ever you are in the house.
