Tired of Earbuds and Headsets on Your P.C. or Smartphone?

Checkout the Jambox 

At 199.99 list price it has amazing sound up to 85db with bluetooth connectivity. Can listen to music and one can even make handsfree conference calls since it has a built in microphone too!

It runs up to 10hrs on the rechargeable lithium battery pack. This unit puts out impressive sound to fill a large room with its woofer and tweeter system built in to such a small package. I would recommend this unit for those tired of being tethered to their smartphones and likes to multitask while listening to streaming music or media, etc. An  additional safety bonus, if one just has to talk and drive as it does provide handsfree capability in cities where its legal to talk and drive.


Point and Shoot Camera for Events

DSLR cameras are great, the only thing is some events restrict cameras that look too professional, especially ones with removable lenses. They draw too much attention even though your only wanting quality photographs, not to compete with any hired event photographers.

That means without a backup one is left with a camera phone without a second point and shoot camera in hand. So the best camera is the one you have with you, not the great DSLR at home or the one that can not be used at the event.

I have been looking around for something that is a point and shoot with non-removable lens with good optical zoom that is also compact-not much larger than a smart phone.

The Sony Cybershot HX9V fits the bill. It has 16.8  megapixel sensor with 16x optical zoom. Which gives a 35mm equivalent of 25-416mm range. Its  aperature is only 3.3 wide-5.9 tele aperature which is on par with point and shoot cameras. Its still amazing that all this technology can be put in such a small body, and did I mention it also shoots full 1920 X 1080 60P video with optical steady shoot, and simultaneous still photography while in video mode.

At a current list price of 299.99 at Sony.com its worth taking a look at it.
