The Nano is better than expected

I just loaded music and audiobooks. Art came through. Sound is better than other ipods (by my ear). It is easy to find your spot on audiobooks. This ipod advances audiobooks a few minutes at a time and there is time bar to see where you are. Other ipods jump to the next song. Clocks, calendars, look good. Color is excellent and detailed. I have not tried photos yet.
Nano docks in Bose speaker and Altec Lansing speaker without using the adapter.
The only problem I had was after the computer (windows) said the update was complete, the "do not disconnect" screen on the nano would not go away. I did a reset per the instructions and this fixed the problem.

USB 2 is about as fast as Firewire (at least in bursts: FW has much faster overall through put); but with the Flash memory in the Nano, you are only going to get about 20mbs anyway (even the fast compact flash is 80mbs which is way slower than FW or USB2).
I suspect that there are at least two reasons for the lack of FW on the Nano:
1. USB 2 significanlty faster than the flash can support, and FW users would be disappointed that FW wasn't any faster; in other words, FW isn't needed.
2. There is very limited real estate inside the Nano, and an additional interface likely means that something else had to go.
3. Add firewire would have increased the cost..
I believe the Nano is an incredibly nifty product which changes the game again. What are those Nomad guys going to do now? I mean, after they stop crying.

Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

Is the iPhone 5 better than the Samsung Galaxy S4/Lumia 1020?

Like almost everything in this world is a matter of choice, but, if it is to logically make a choice here are a few criteria you should consider before picking up a smartphone:
Do you really need it? - if not, the money will stay better in your account;
Set up the budget and consider the fact that smartphones get upgrades faster than computers and laptops, will you be able to upgrade?
Which operating system are you familiar with?
What are your needs and expectations from the smartphone?
What type of person you are (email/chat/SMS/Social Media-man aka. communications, multimedia, productivity, gamer, etc.) this will help you chose the appropriate hardware and check out what are your options regarding the existing applications for your needs;
Are you always on the run or work in an office? - this will help you decide from the battery life point of view;
If you own a tablet you might just need a simple smartphone.
Samsung does not really innovate in terms of functionality and usability, they only copy what others do and make it their own way. Android is not a mature operating system, yet. I like some of its features, of course, but I can rely on it when it comes to productivity as I'm a person who sends 100's of emails per day and need to easily manage the messages.
You can have the best hardware in the world but that's useless if you operating system is bad at managing those resources, you will not be able to exploit the device to the fullest and you might cry over the money you've spent :-) Nevertheless Samsung has a large market share, makes good phones, but not quite smart, they are rather... intelligent, a smartphone is smart from the day you buy it, you don't have to put it in training mode :-)
As about Lumia, I don't have much to say, it's what iPhone had at the iPhone 4 version minus the 40MP camera and the operating system. If I want a good camera then I buy a camera, a Canon or Nikon :-) Yes, the Krait CPU, so what? That CPU is managed by a Wi*dows OS and that should say everything. I'm not against Micr*soft, they had/have their part in technology progress, but I'm more into stable operating systems, I'd chose Android over Wi*dows, yet Nokia were always great at hardware and batery life. Bad choice for Nokia, look at their sales and you will understand.
That's just my two cents, but iPhone is the choice of millions when they chose their first smartphone: is user friendly, solid, great hardware specs, lovely screen, wonderful support, high-level security, multimedia at its best, a design that catches the eye, looks and feels great in your hand, it's light, you have millions of verified apps in the store and a nice community to tell you all these :-)

What is the range of an Airport Express 2nd generation? The range is better than the 1st generation?

What is the range of an Airport Express 2nd generation? The range is better than the 1st generation?

150 feet in clear space with no obstructions in the signal path. It is not possible to predict range with any obstructions in the signal path.

Is the external isight better than the internal?

I have a macbook, but I am considering purchasing an external isight as well. I know the external has auto focus (I do not believe the internal does) but I am more interested in color. Does the external have better color and low-light picture? Is the same 1/4 inch chip from the external used in the internal, or is the internal a lessor chip?
I enjoy the macbooks isight, but I would like to make some movies with iMovie. The internal is not overly impressive with it's colors when doing this. Sharpness is also not excellent, it seems the external will definitly improve upon this.
Any input is greatly appreciated. I would really like to hear from owners of both cameras who could possibly compare and contrast these two.
Kalel

Hi Kalel,
I agree with Eddie. I have an external mounted on my G5 at the office and an internal on an Intel iMac at home. If nothing else, the ability to reposition makes the external the hands down winner.
Personally, I believe the external records ambient light better than the internal, but I have different lighting situations at both locations.
Both the internal and external have autofocus.
One of the best additions you can get for either one is a program called iGlasses. I has been mentioned many times in this forum with plenty of user comments.
Good Luck
John

Is the 70D significantly better than the 7D at handling high ISO situations?

I have a 6D and it has really spoiled me with it's low noise high ISO capabilities. I'm wondering if the 70D is significantly better than my 7D when it comes to handling high ISOs. It has the same sensor as the 6D and I really like that view screen on the 70D.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The 6D has a "full frame" sensor - physical dimensions are close to the 36mm x 24mm size of a 35mm film negative frame.
Both the 7D and 70D have APS-C sensors - physical dimensions are close to 22mm x 15mm and close to the same size of a negative frame from "Advanced Photo System - Class" size film.
While the 7D and 70D have sensors which are roughly the same size, the sensors themselves are very different because the 70D has the new dual-pixel AF technology.

Is the 17 inch better than the 15 inch mac book pro?

Which one is better to get and use? 15 or 17 inch?

I have both. One is not necessarily better than the other, really depends on what you plan on using the computer for. Even though the 17" is classified as a portable computer, IMO it's not very portable at all. Go to a store, view handle each for yourself. The 17" is quite large, mine sits on a desk as a desktop replacement. In terms of performance, equipped the same(processor, RAM & GPU), there is only about a 3% performance gain with the 17". Not enough to write home about. The big advantage of the 17" is screen real estate. But, if you want portability, get the 15".

Is the iPhone 5c better than the 4 or 4s?

My son dropped his iPhone several times, so we are looking to replace it. The 5c in green is his choice. Is this iPhone better than or the same as the 4/s generation? He does not need a super phone, he does a lot of texting and some game apps, as well as things like dictionary apps. Yes, he does call sometimes. Any comparisons would be helpful in choosing his next iPhone.

The 4 and 4S are discontinued. The 5c is essentially the original 5 in a plastic housing. Yes, it's better.

Better than expected

I'd read all the review and watched all the videos and thats what made me buy the IPhone even though I'd just upgraded my old phone on T-mobile to a Nokia 6300.
One of the reasons for the change was that I do access the WWW, email etc and my last T-mobile bill was £120+ mostly made up of data transfer costs.
With the 02 unlimited data download, the IPhone will pay for itself in a couple of months and I have to say I am extremely impressed so far even though I've only been activated a few days.
I assumed there were bound to be some teething problems with such a jump in technology, but everything I have tried to do with the IPhone has worked and passed the test with flying colours.
Kudos also to you guys on this forum for all your help. I've read quite a few of the posts and you do a great job in providing help where needed.

You find it amazingly faster. Honestly, I just don't see it. It doesn't matter as I'm just I've gotten to on to what I really see as their architecture for future development and progress. I also gather their implementation of 64 bit is way better than Windows 7 for some reason.
At this point in time, my computer is plenty fast with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Its just a couple of pieces of software that's the problem vexxing me and other users - Entourage 2008 and the problem with Apple's sync services (I see Apple implemented a diagnostics capability in Snow Leopard to assist with sync issues) and Intuit with Quicken still being stuck at 2007 and PowerPC. I had to install Rosetta for Quicken 2007 only and honestly from what I've seen of Intuit's Quicken beta, if the next beta (due in a couple weeks) isn't a major step in the right direction as they're going for release in Feb 2010 I might be with Quicken 2007 for quite a while. These two things are the unfortunate thing for me at the moment.

Is the nokia 7390 better than the 6290

this might seem like silly question but I am hoping someone could help me on this.
I recently perchased a 6290 and think its agreat phone however someone told me brifley about it
I have tryed to compare the two but am having trouble with my computer

The 6290 is a series 60 smartphone that was released around the middle of this year.
The 7390 is a series 40 fashion phone that was released late last year or early this year.
The 6290 is a has more features and the abilty to accept more programs but the 7390 has a better camera and smoother operating system.
If you prefer smartphones then the 6290 is the better phone but if you prefer fashion phones the the 7390 is better.
It's a case of S40 phone versus S60 phone, neither is better than the other, just different.

Is the BSP extension better than this solution(Text and Image in Button)?

Hi guys,
I have a concept question to decide whether a BSP extension is needed.
I want to put text and image in htmlb button, and used the solution like below:
<%
data image type ref to cl_htmlb_image.
data: image_string type string.
create object image.
image->id = 'back'.
image->src = cl_bsp_mimes=>sap_icon( id = '@9S@' ).
image->tooltip = 'Go back'.
clear image_string.
image_string = image->IF_BSP_BEE~RENDER_TO_STRING( page_context ).
        %>
        <xhtmlb:toolbarButton id      = "back"
                              onClick = "back"
                              text    = "<%= image_string %>" />
But this solution is not desired by customer, since they don't think it looks nice. So is it possible to create my own BSP extension to get a nicer element?
Thanks for any hint.
Regards,
Liying

Hi,
By a nicer element...did you mean to display a better image...or a nicer image ????
if yes, the you can upload any image you need and then use it here...
Tell me if you need more information...!!
Hope this helps.

How many pepole like the white iPhone better than the black one

Is the complimentary bottom replacement on the Macbook made better than the defected one?

I just ordered another Macbook bottom and I was wondering if i'm just getting another defected one or did they actually fix the problem?

We all have different priorities and needs. For me the most meaningful change in the newer MBPs is the USB 3 connectivity. Much faster than USB 2 or Firewire. This is important when transferring data to and from external HDDs. Note that in the 13" MBPs, one still can install larger HDDs if the need arises.

Is the onboard sound better than SB live!

I been thinking of using onboard sound right now Im using a old sound blaster live! its not the 5.1 What do you guys think ? See my sig for mobo type
This is the sound chip on the mobo Realtek ALC650 it has 4 to 6 chan. and it also has a
S-bracket that has analog to digital audio outputs by intergrating both SPDIF.
Anyone here use there onboard sound? I would like to buy sometime till I can get a new soundcard I want to free up a pci slot.

Uninstall the SB Live, and all related components thru device manager, then go to control panel>add or remove programs. Remove any Creative programs related to the SB Live. Shutdown and remove the SB from the system. Upon bootup, enter BIOS, and in the "Integrated Periphrials" section, set the AC97 to enabled, and reboot.
During bootup, it should find the AC97, and ask for the drivers, cancel the prompt. Then open the folder containing the drivers, and install from there.
One thing to check while you have the case opened to remove the SB, look for the front audio header, usually "JAUD1", there needs to be 2 jumpers installed in order to direct sound to the rear audio ports. These are normally installed before the board ships, but can be left off. Never hurts to look. I believe the jumpers go on 5-6 and 9-10. Check your manual to verify. the front audio header is located at the bottom of the board, near the front. If you have no manual, click here to download one.

Is the hardcover photobook better than the softcover one?

I was just wondering, because I really don't know which one to buy. It is for my girlfriend, I'm moving away for a year or so and we won't see each other so it's a leaving present. I really it want it to look good, and last for a long time. So which one would be best for me? Thanks.

That is strictly a personal choice - for me the hard cover is best - but others like the softcover - your pays your money and takes your choice

Is Flex 4 Training from the source any better than Adobe's own Using Flex 4?

I am preparing for the Flex 4 ACE exam from Using Flex 4. Is there a good reason for me to switch to the training from the source book?

Firstly note that F4TFS is in 2 parts, and although part 2 appears to have been published at the end of 2010, AFAIK it appears to be unavailable right now. I have read F3TFS, and am going through F4TFS at the moment. Using Flex 4, available free as a 32Mb PDF, is a very useful reference, along with the 12 or so other Flex books available free from Adobe. While Using Flex 4 is a reference (including plenty of example code), F3/4TFS is structured as a series of lessons, working on the same project (Flex Grocer shopping cart app) throughout. It touches on most aspects of Flex development, and is a great guide for beginners. If I have one criticism of the book, it is that a shopping cart example is going to be inherently dull- so if you have a low boredom threshold you will have to force yourself through the examples. I would still recommend it as a beginner's book, although in the real world you are unlikely to be using Design Mode much, except for throw-away prototypes. If you have a project you want to get started on right away, then you could just wade in and start coding using the Adobe documentation for help, but if you'd like to have an existing example, then F4TFS is for you.
When learning Flex its best to read as much as possible, so I'd widen your reading if possible to include the Flex 4 Bible, AdvancED Flex 4, Enterprise Development with Flex, etc, and the absolute shedloads of blog posts and examples on the internet.
