The Archos 14 vision is extremely unique; I’ve really never seen anything like it. Archos apparently wanted to design an MP3 player that looks like a jewel. Well, it did just that. In this article I’ll review the Archos 14 vision.

The Archos 14 vision is a mini MP3/MP4 player that combines functionality, versatility, and fashion. Staying true to Archos’ design tradition, it’s extremely small, weighing less than 1 ounce. It’s less than 2 inches tall and wide, and less than half an inch thick. But don’t let its small size fool you; it’s packed with features that really add to the value of this MP3 player, somehow without seeming to affect the price. The end result is an MP3/MP4 player that works as well as a media player as it does a conversation starter.

Archos designed the Archos 14 vision to be wearable from just about anywhere on your body; you can clip it to your shirt, pocket, or even wear it around your neck. Its attractive front-face glimmers in the sun and looks a lot like a gemstone at first glance. When you awaken it by pressing a button and its beautiful 1.44? color TFT screen lights up, you’ll instantly have the attention of everyone as they marvel at this wonderful little device.

From the front, only the glimmering screen is visible. Hidden along the sides are easy-access buttons which provide intuitive and functional controls for the device. One of my favorite features included in the Archos 14 vision is the ability to listen to FM radio stations. Sometimes I get tired of my music library and just want to listen some good ‘ole radio. This is a feature that even the iPod doesn’t have, and it truly adds a ton of value to this device.

Another great feature is the ability to record voice memos; which can be useful in a ton of situations. For example, imagine you’re jogging on a nice, sunny day and you suddenly have a brilliant “Ah-ha!” moment. You obviously don’t have anything handy with which to write down your idea, but you can simply record your idea on the Archos 14 vision with the press of a button.

Continuing with the long lineup of awesome features, the Archos 14 vision is more than just an MP3/Mp4 player; it’s a multimedia player. It can display images in.jpg or.bmp format, playback music in a wide variety of formats (MP3, WMA, WAV, FLAC, APE), display images, and – here’s the kicker – it even has video playback. It comes with an onboard converter that will convert your video files to be compatible with its small screen. So to sum up, here’s what it can do:

* Play MP3/MP4 music files
* Listen to FM radio stations
* Watch Video
* View Images/photos
* Record voice memos

If that’s not enough to convince you how cool this gadget is, then get this: It has 4GB of storage (enough for 1,500 to 2,000 songs) and a whopping 11 hours of battery life for music (2.5 hours for video playback – enough for at least one full movie!).

I hope you’ve found this review helpful. The Archos 14 vision is really a quite remarkable MP3 Player. I don’t know how Archos managed to pack so many features into such a small space, but they really achieved something fantastic with the Archos 14 vision. I fully recommend it – and I’m sure you’ll love it too.

“Alphabeat” are a six-piece Danish indie pop group/band hailed from Silkeborg, Denmark. Alphabeat consist of Anders SG (Vocals), Stine Bramsen (Vocals), Anders B (Bass), Rasmus Nagel (Keyboards), Anders Reinholdt (Guitar) and Troels Hansen (Drums). Their music evolves around retro melodic 80s pop with inspirations taken from Deacon Blue and Prefab Sprout. Alphabeat are also noted for their male and female vocals harmonies as a result of the singing combination of Anders SG and Stine Bramsen. This Is Alphabeat makes me go dancing with their album opener “Fantastic 6\”. When the music comes on, Alphabeat can be heard voicing, “Ah… Ah… Woo…”. With the 80s atmosphere, i find Fantastic 6 a very good track, especially in the chorus where Alphabeat’s Anders SG and Stine did a double together, “…Twenty four seven, from Heaven, they’ll be watching over all of us, the international, professionals…”. It’s not only the music that makes Fantastic 6 such a good opener, the harmonized vocals by Alphabeat also make a great impression here. Lovely! “Fascination” just knows how to get it on. With the drums going on and the guitar that vividly brings back the 80s era, Fascination is just what its title suggests! The part before the chorus is just one of best feelings you’ll get on this track, “Fascination, fascination, it’s just the way we feel…” Sooner before you think, Alphabeat shift into another gear and get it on with an energetic chorus, “We love this exaltation, woo… We want the new temptations, woo… It’s like a revelation, woo… We live on fascination…” After each phrase, Alphabeat will complement it with their soft yet powerful melodic howls, great vocals by Anders SG and Stine. Just a moment to be remembered. “10,000 Nights” has the keyboard running at the beginning. As the music plays in the background, Anders SG and Stine just exchange vocals. When the chorus comes, Alphabeat always make sure that it’s going to be a blast. Anders SG and Stine just know what to here, with the music bringing them to the best part of 10,000 Nights, they just go, “Give me 10.000 nights of thunder, but I will give them all back to you, because you’re so ooh.. (du-du-du), you’re so ahh,(du-du-du), you’re so cool (Baby you’re so super supreme…). Stine just does it very good with the “du, du, du”. Both of them just have great timing, as if they were born as twins. Not only that, the guitar riffs in this track are just as loud as the 80s guitar as well. Throughout 10,000 Nights, the keyboard just keeps playing without any breaks. Impressive vocals and music here! “Boyfriend” sounds sarcastic yet happy. Once it enters, Stine’s sweet voice just takes charge and the part just before the chorus, has a very nice and catchy rhythm to it. Even the music in that part has a very nice high-pitched squeaky sound to it that comes on and off as Stine sings, “Oh yeah, it’s just because i’m crazy in love, crazy in love…” And the way Stine voices the word “Crazy”, it’s as if she is stressing that word. Boyfriend only has Stine singing, but it’s still crazily good. Her voice at times is very echoic and bubbly! “Oh no, don’t you touch my boyfriend, he’s not your boyfriend, he’s mine…” “What Is Happening” starts off slow with Anders SG first sings then followed by Stine. The verse is smart, “Oh, when I said I need you so much, i was dead, i was alive when you were right here by my side, we both could see, that I needed you, you needed me, and now we both regret…” In the chorus, both Anders SG and Stine just grab the vocals together. The violin is also first heard here when they both sing. After the second chorus, the whole track just awed me with the guitar that slightly resembles “Say Hello To The Angels” by Interpol. The violin also joins in and together with the howls, i suddenly have the feeling of we’re celebrating Christmas all over again. Beautiful! “Go Go” starts off with some lazy-like bass sound before the sound of synthesizers and keyboards just come in. As Stine sings, i can’t help but noticing the guitar plucking in the background. Go Go has the quality of a dancing pop tune. In the break, Anders SG enters and has his share of the pie. As he sings, Stine just know how to add the extra rhythm and energy to it. The synthesizers in this track is really the core of Go Go, it really makes me go and go, and go. “Touch Me Touching You” has really cheeky bassline. It made me smile as it keeps playing throughout the whole track. I feel a heavy usage of synthesizers in this track. At times, Anders SG can be heard singing with a girlish voice rather than her usual voice. With today’s advanced technology, i wouldn’t blame you if you think a single person is able to do the whole mixing of this track. As the title almost suggests, the most sung phrase in this track is “Gonna touch you baby, gonna touch you baby…” What a wild electronic pop experience here, everything seems so fast in this track. “Rubber Boots” is a slow drive ballad. After some energy-packed songs, Alphabeat decide to slow it down with Rubber Boots. Well, everyone must be tired after a handful of energy-packed songs. Anders SG can be heard singing in a robotic voice here. Even the whole song sounds very robotic especially the chorus where Anders SG goes, “You should wear rubber, always wear rubber, you should wear rubber…” An echoic squeaky sound can be heard here as Anders SG sings, just like those you would hear from a DJ. Everything seems slow with this track, a perfect reminder or ringing bell for those who are always wanting things to be fast. Synthesizers are of heavy use here. “Public Image” captures me with the whistle and bass at the beginning. It’s very chirpy and cheerful. Throughout Public Image, the pace is fast and the music is very cheerful, creating a positive and feel-good vibe. Anders SG sings effortlessly throughout Public Image and let it over-powered by the music. This song would rock the house if Alphabeat decides to play it live, as it also contains a bit rock influence in it, which can be clearly heard with the drums, guitar and bass. Just love the sampler’s whistle! “Nothing But My Baby” has some cowboy and country influences in it. The drum beats remind me of Queen’s “We Will Rock You”. Anders SG is reunited with Stine in this track. The chorus definitely has the potential to be in a cowboy flick. The music and the singing just have the atmosphere of it, “I’m nothing but my baby… Ooh… Ooh…” If you listen closely, there’s a faint howl in the background that really resembles Michael Jackson’s trademark and famous howl. What an anthemic end to This Is Alphabeat! Stand-Out Tracks (My Picks): Fantastic 6, Fascination, 10,000 Nights, Boyfriend, What Is Happening, Go Go and Public Image. Cheers!

“The Do” are a French two-piece or duo indie band based in Paris. The Do were formed in 2007 and they are Dan Levy (Musician) and Olivia Merilahti (Vocals). Their music covers a wide variety of genres that include indie rock, indie pop, folk rock and a bit of electronic stuffs.

A Mouthful has an album appetizer that everyone of us will definitely give at least a thumb-up to it. In “Playground Hustle”, a group of children cover most of the singing part while Olivia just adds in some extra weights here and there. The music in this track is exceptional as well. The flute on Playground Hustle reminds me of my younger days when i had to learn flute-playing in school. The music which is mainly contributed by synthesizers also creates a very good opener impression here. Love the cheeky part where it almost sounds like the movie “Jaw” theme.

“At Last!” is groovy indie pop tune which showcases the Olivia’s vocals. She seems to be singing breathlessly and without taking a jiffy just to inhale. The tempo on this track is very consistent and The Do/Dø also bring in some extra sound or note to make it much fuller. But just by listening to Olivia’s angelic voice, it’s more than sufficient to fall in love with this track. After the second chorus, “Made up my mind now it’s time settle down, but don’t hold this against me I gotta run now…” The short bridge contains some clever guitar playing and country-like harmonica layered with Olivia’s melodic voice. It’s just beautiful! At Last!

“On My Shoulders” continues the amazing rhythm and sound of The Do/Dø. On My Shoulders has quite a long opening before emerging with Olivia’s beautiful voice. As Olivia sings on in the verse, it sort of drags me along and thus creating a tendency for me to sing. “Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders? Why do I always help you carry your boulders? You wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders?…” Although On My Shoulders is sung in a repetition of musical note and tone, but The Do/Dø make it really unforgettable. The rhythm just keeps playing in my head now, and it’s stuck in my head!

“Song For Lovers” is an acoustic track with only Olivia’s voice can be heard and in the background, guitar plays along before another string instrument violin appears. In the end, Olivia sings with emotion, “Here’s a song for lovers who don’t care if they bleed…” An honest and heartfelt track by The Do/Dø!

“The Bridge Is Broken” has little guitar steps in the beginning. Once Olivia enters, it sets the right tone and rhythm that follow suit. After the verse, Olivia just repeats “The bridge is broken…” and while she is singing the chorus, the deep guitar plucking never stops. It just weights in after the Olivia’s voice. Very, very nice to hear! At times, the music shows some Jazzy side of it. In the bridge, the music comes in with more variety. The mixing of The Bridge Is Broken really good, and the use of synthesizers and other equipments just prove to be amazing! I don’t care whether the bridge is broken or whatever, as long as The Do/Dø are here to sing, the bridge is always fixed.

“Stay (Just A Little Bit More)” is cheeky and catchy. Just the perfect song for couples anywhere in the world. You have to check out the guitar once it starts, it is on a constant plucking mode and never fails to create an atmosphere that one would expect when picnicking at the beach. Once the chorus comes, Olivia just goes, “Stay just a little bit more, don’t let my heart turn sore…” and with each phrase, there would be howlings in the background that just complement this track so much! Entering the second verse, the whole track seems to be venturing into a new zone and it sounds cuter than ever. During the bridge, violin is heard and joins the fun with The Do/Dø. Stay (Just A Little Bit More) just sounds good from start to finish!

On “Unissasi Laulelet”, if i’m not mistaken, it’s a track sung in Finnish by Olivia. As Olivia sings on, it seems that there are some background vocals that sing simultaneously with Olivia. Further into the track, the music just get fuller and louder. Even the vocals got louder and slightly subside before ending. Quite funny when listening to a foreign language. But it’s still good.

“Tammie” starts off with harmonica and some distant shout in the background. Once the right tempo is reached, a number of instruments just come in. Guitar, bass, drums and handclaps can be heard as Olivia sings. In each phrase of the verse, Olivia sings and drags the last word until she reaches a part where she loops, “Oh i know you won’t…” The bass in this track is very groovy and some might have it catchy as well. At some points, the word “Tammie” can be heard in the background, shouted by a number of guys. Saxaphone can also be found here as the song draws to a close. Cool stuff by The Do/Dø!

“Queen Dot Kong” features a heavy usage of synthesizers. It also has saxophone and trumpet at some parts of the track. After a few listens, this song sounds like a theme song for a cartoon show. It’s very cute yet weird with those sudden change of music notes and tones. Even the vocals vary as well, sometimes it’s fast, sometimes it’s slow. Olivia also raps at times, which i find kind of cute to imagine her doing so. The Do/Dø are definitely loosing themselves here.

“Coda” is an instrumental track and it continues from Queen Dot Kong. It sort of acts as the final part of the song and helps the song to end. The Do/Dø can be heard playing with the synthesizer and mixer here. A break for The Do/Dø perhaps.

“Searching Gold” is the longest track on A Mouthful and it spins over 5 minutes long. It has some dark and evil elements to it as Olivia sings in a way that doesn’t reflect her usual voice that we first heard. Take it from the title, everyone has himself or herself on mind when it comes to gold and will do whatever it takes to get their hands on gold. Maybe it’s one of the clues that we have that might helps us explain Olivia’s voice here. The music in Searching Gold is pretty flat here and i like the ending lyrics that goes, “As the horizon cleared, we let go of our hands, each one hurried to be the first where gold flows out, oh silent rejoicing when one of us stumbled, oh silent rejoicing when one of us failed…” Sort of sarcastic by The Do/Dø here!

“When Was I Last Home?” is a slow track that has piano as its main instrument. Olivia just sings with her heart and let it taken away by the music. This time around, Olivia is proving how versatile she is by showcasing her beautiful voice on this somewhat sad track. Deeper into the track, there are some background vocals and violin also can be heard helping Olivia out. The Do/Dø are showing an emotional side of them. Great effort anyway!

“Travel Light” starts off with some lazy and draggy vocals by Olivia. Even the music sounds the same here, it just feels lazily good. However when it comes to the chorus, Olivia sounds lighter in her voice and goes, “Lately I’ve been walking away, floating like a song in the air… Lately, I’ve been trailing away, I’ve been walking my way…” And when back into the verse, everything is back to what we first heard in the first verse. Another slow track here, which i think The Do/Dø are not that good at doing this. The Do/Dø are way much better when doing a fast track. They’re born to do that!

“Aha” definitely brings the tempo back here. Once the music starts, i know this song is going to rev up the album again. As Olivia sings, “It came up on a day I was having a nap, it came up on a day I was catching the gnats, it was a trap…. Aha, Aha, Aha….” You can hear a group of guys in the background helping Olivia out. Slowly when it gets to the chorus, the guitar sounds like a plucking from a James Bond theme. The bass throughout this track is outstanding as well, it just has the groove to liven up the track. The bridge also has its moment, where a group of female vocals can be heard belting it out with Olivia. The bottomline is that Olivia is back with her angelic vocals! Love it!

“In My Box” is an instrumental track that has a steady beginning before picking up the tempo and hitting it high as the song draws to an end. It sounds like an African-influenced music at first and then when the bass line comes in, it just gets groovy. Olivia is not calling it a day yet as she also contributes a bit with her voice. She sort of yells here though. Pretty cool ending by The Do/Dø!

Cheers!

When you purchase any type of electronic gadget, one of the first things that you need to consider is the ease of use. If you will just get frustrated at how difficult it is to go through the gadget’s controls and menu – it does not make sense to purchase the gizmo and put yourself through all that hassle.

The same thing applies when you are thinking about the handset that you will purchase with your next mobile phone deal. Will the handset be easy to use? How does it measure up in terms of design? Will it have the features which I consider to be important?

If the handset that you have chosen fits the description, then it should be really worth looking at.

A Comprehensive Review of the Nokia 6300 Features

The one mobile phone which fits all the requirements mentioned above is the Nokia 6300.  For the longest time, Nokia has been manufacturing a wide array of mobile phones to suit the discriminating tastes of its loyal followers.

From middle-range to high-end phones, Nokia has a model which will suit exactly what a person is looking for.

Take the Nokia 6300 as an example.  First, let us take a look at the design.  The Nokia 6300 is a sleek, slim and attractively designed candy bar phone. It has a 240×320 pixel TFT display screen which has 16 million colors. The 2-inch screen shows up beautifully under brightly lit conditions.

The Nokia 6300 also has a slim design.  Despite the slimness of the body, it has a surprisingly good battery life – and the phone itself will not slip easily from your fingers.

This mobile phone unit also has Bluetooth, EDGE and USB connectivity. The software used is a classic among similar Nokia phones: the Nokia S40 operating software.

Now, if you are the type who constantly flips out his or her phone to take snapshots of odd, funny moments or just about any scene which captures your interest – you can definitely do so with the Nokia 6300. It has a decent 2-Megapixel camera.

You may not like the results under low light conditions, though, especially at night. The built-in camera does not come with a flash. It also has video capture capability with QCIF resolution.

An Analysis of the Pros and Cons of the Nokia 6300 Mobile Phone

To sum it all up, the great features of the Nokia 6300 mobile phone includes its attractive design, easy-to-use menu, decent camera and good operating software.

In addition, there is the FM radio and media player which plays MP3, MP4, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ file formats. The quality of the audio is good.

So what are the cons? The only couple of things that you may find to be a problem is the fact that the camera does not have a flash – and it has no 3G connectivity.

As you can see, the pros far outweigh the cons so the Nokia 6300 is a mobile phone that you should seriously consider getting when your next mobile phone deal starts.

Trying to sell pictures online or make great pictures with the touch of a Pro? See how I accomplished this with the Canon PowerShot G9!

If a picture is worth a thousand words let the compact Canon Power Shot G9 speak for you!

When I first visited the camera section of my favorite electronic’s store I felt quite overwhelmed by the quantity and variety of cameras offered. My main purpose was to obtain high quality pictures to post over the many websites that sell stock photo, so I really knew what I was looking for: a good camera that produced decent stock pictures for a reasonable price.

In order to grab my attention my selected camera had to somehow beat the crowd. I had really heard good things about the G9 PowerShot because I frequent a photography forum and was aware of the fact that many professional photographers where eagerly anticipating it’s arrival on the market.

I must say that I am not a fan of large, bulky cameras so at a first visual approach the PowerShot G9 was of a nice compact size. When holding it in my hand the grip felt firm and the camera felt sturdy. However, it didn’t fit well in my shirt’s pocket and it only came with a neck strap while I am particularly fond of hand straps. From an esthetical point of view, this camera was visually appealing and somehow brought my memories back to some older camera styles seen in the past.

Now to the main facts. The Canon PowerShot G9 offered 12.1 resolution megapixels and a 6X zoom. The LCD screen looked wonderful being 3.0 inch large. The RAW file format is great to produce better higher quality digital pictures when compared to JPEG. With an ISO of 400, the camera promised a good outlook on pictures taken in low lit areas, however, I heard from friends that when enlarged pictures may appear a bit too grainy for my taste.

The best feature, at least for me since I am still at an amatorial level, was the fact that the camera took care of the focus, exposure and flash by its self. The camera also offered Optical Image Stabilization which in short means hopefully no more blurry, unstable pictures. This is great for those quick shots where you do not have that much time to concentrate on picture quality.

Canon PowerShot is not all about pictures, it actually can shoot high resolution movies as well and for up to an hour! While this is a plus, I would consider a big minus the fact that the 32 MB memory card included was very likely able to hold barely 5 pictures, creating the need to by a larger one.

When I actually got to try the camera I was amazed by the number of special scene modes it had. My current camera had about 7 while Canon PowerShot offered about 23! Some of them that I found particularly appealing were: Foliage, Kids and Pets, Underwater (yes, the camera is water proof!) Aquarium, and Beach. I did however, miss the sunset feature as sunsets are really one of my big favorites things to shoot. In exchange, I liked the color swap option which allows to select a color and have it replaced by another one of your choice for some real cool special effects.

The advanced face detection mode was interesting and a completely new feature for me. It is supposed to keep on focus multiple faces with the opportunity to focus primarily on one. This is great for those bithday parties and weddings.

With so many buttons and features I must admit I found the camera pretty self explanatory to use, saving me time from peeking at the manual every moment.

Since I own this camera now, my pictures seem to have upgraded from an amatorial level to a professional one.
My family and friends are astonished about my work but I realize that the I cannot take fully credit, it is mostly thanks to the wonder of nature and the advance of technology.

For less than $500 the Canon Powershot G9 12 Megapixel Digital Camera is a great buy. I have to admit that the camera was about 100 dollars more than what I really was expecting to spend, however, I see this as a long term investment since many of my stock photos shot with this camera were finally actually bought!

If you like guitar and want to learn how to play it, you may want to research the net in order to get a good tutor program. You will find that there are many guitar tutoring programs that you can find. This article will give you Jamorama Acoustic review. You will be able to judge if the program is right for you after reading this article.

The program is made by a musician, Ben Edwards. He is a professional guitarist who has been on tour internationally for many years. He later on decided to teach people how to play guitar and cam up with his famous electric guitar course called Jamorama. Jamorama acoustic is the version which focuses on acoustic guitar.

The product is made out of comprehensive 235 pages book which teach guitar playing from the beginner to the advanced player. Also, there are 153 videos which teach step by step of how to start playing guitar until you are good at it. Jamorama acoustic also provides several acoustic guitar tracks that you can use it to play along when you practice your guitar playing. This is one of the unique gifts from the program.

The interesting things in the program include the clear message that it gives to you when you read the manual and guide. You can easily understand and will be able to do it by yourself. The videos are similar to having private tutors for the step by step approach. It made the learning process faster and easier.

The weak point of the program is that it may be a little expensive in comparison with the guide book that you can buy from the bookstore. The average guitar teaching book in the book store may cost you around $20-30. Jamorama acoustic cost is $39.95 which is more expensive.

What I like about the program is that it mixes fun with their guitar learning approach and it covers most of the important elements when it comes to guitar learning. It gives you three bonuses which will help you on your learning ability. The learn-by-ear is good for learning guitar playing by listening. It is a game which provides the value of true learning. There are also music notes learning game and electronic metronome. Those are a good compliment to guitar learning process.

Jamorama Acoustic will be useful for only the one who decides to learn guitar and want a success in it. Learning music requires a lot of practices. Without it, any course or book will not do you any good. If you have determination to make it work, this tool may be able to help you and make you get to the next level.
