Podcasts about apple's ipod

Kaz Hirai has been the CEO of Sony for six years, and the company just announced that he'll be stepping aside and taking the title of Chairman in April.  That means he's been the CEO at Sony for much of time that I've been at CNBC. And in that span I've sat down with him most every year at the Consumer Electronics Show, a sprawling event in Las Vegas where the world's gadget giants gather every year.  Funny thing about Hirai – he stepped in to take the reins at Sony at a moment when the sky was falling in on the company. Apple's iPod and iTunes had snatched the digital music mantle away from the Japanese giant, and Samsung had seized Sony’s crown in TVs. Hirai leaves the CEO seat with the company pretty clearly better off than when he started.  I sat down as usual with Hirai at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, but this time, for both CNBC live and for the Fortt Knox podcast. We discussed Sony's latest products in phones, TV, and the return of that robot dog, Aibo – but I also talked to him about the multicultural life experience that prepared him to be CEO in this turbulent era.   Learn more about your ad choices.

SESCOM® Professional Media Interface For iPhone / iPad / iPod Mobile Media Devices Portable media devices and smart phones have come a long way since it's the basic initial introduction in 2001 with Apple's iPod. Today the technology has advanced with devices like the iPad, the iPhone and iPod Touch which can capture HD Video and amazing digital photos. These devices are finding their way into the presentation and conference rooms in businesses worldwide on an ever increasing level. The major problem has been how to handle the Audio-Video information in a format that can easily integrate in real time to a projector or large video audio display or TV! Sescom has chosen to develop the ultimate hardware solution for this: The SES-IAV is the answer. The video and audio media files you play on your mobile device can now be sent to your component video display and recording devices. Housed in a single 1RU rack mount enclosure, the iAV allows the user to connect the iPhone, iPad or iPod via included media cable and decodes the signal to broadcast Component Video with Balanced Audio. The iAV features dual outputs located on the front of the device for direct machine-to-machine connections, as well as a rear output group for rack interface with standard patch bays and control equipment. BNC connectors are used for true component video and Balanced XLR connectors for audio. Control of the audio level is also provided for with front panel level controls. The iAV will also provide charging for your compatible device via a built-in charging circuit. Powered by an included switch mode 110/220 VAC to 12 Volt DC adapter, the iAV can be easily adapted to mobile environments since the power jack is a standard 4pin XLR interface. Now you can easily use the iPhone with your TriCaster as both a camera and a media player. The Sescom iAV is a smart and practical solution to your broadcast and professional media applications.

Speaker: Jared Spool Experience design is no longer a nice-to-have luxury of a few organizations with tons of money and exceptional visionary management. It’s become commonplace for organizations that build products and web sites. Experience Design is a centerpiece of boardroom discussions and quickly becoming a key performance indicator for many businesses. However, you can’t just hire a couple of “experience designers” and tell them, "Go do that voodoo that you do so well." Today’s business environment forces us to build multi-disciplinary teams, compiling a diverse group of skills and experiences to handle the many facets of the technical, business, and user requirements. In his usual entertaining and insightful manner, Jared will talk about what it takes to build a design team that meets today’s needs. He'll demonstrate how successful Experience Design: - Must integrate the needs of the users with the requirements of the business - Is learned, but not available through introspection - Must be invisible to succeed - Is cultural - Is multi-discplinary - Thrives best in an "educate and administrate" environment You'll see examples of designs from Apple's iPod, Netflix, the Mayo Clinic, and Southwest Airlines, to name a few.

News: Leopard, Amazon's MP3 download store, French iPhone launch delay, The Cloud, Freezing iMacs, Zune Switchers Corner: Browsers - Netscape, Shiira, Safari, Opera, Firefox, Omniweb Software Review: Saft Introductions The MacBiters introduction - Elaine, MikeB and MikeT - and have their first gab! A brief insight in to how & why we switched to the Mac platform. News Items For the week ending Friday 5th October 2007 Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is coming Macworld.co.uk news is reporting that rumours are rife that we can expect Leopard to land on the 26th of October. Also, details released from testers of the latest pre-release version, list min system requirements of a Mac running a G4 867MHz or faster processor, which makes several older Mac models incapable of running the forthcoming operating system. iTunes killer??? Amazon.com launches mp3 download store - currently in Beta for US customers only. Prices are only $0.89 for a DRM free, 256bit mp3 track and recent albums priced around $8.99. Simple download manager app to easily transfer this music to your iTunes library and then to sync with iPod. Amazon have DRM free music from other labels as well as EMI - iTunes plus tracks are DRM free music from EMI owned labels only, and they’re priced at $1.29! So cheaper, better quality, DRM free mp3's from one of the biggest names in music retail. Is iPhone launch for France delayed due to French unlocking laws? Reported on several news sites including engadgetmobile and Appleinsider. Quote from the French Daily, Los Echos "The difficulties stem from a French law that would require the Apple handset to be sold both with and without contracts. This law would reportedly undermine the iPhone's exclusivity for Orange and Apple's demand of up to 30 percent of voice and data revenues." Discussion went on to iPhone purchasing. Mike B mentioned that information seen said that you couldn’t pay for an iPhone by cash in the UK. Quote from The Carphone Warehouse iPhone Eligibility statement: “To give everyone a chance, there'll be a limit of two iPhones per customer in-store and online. Oh, and we're afraid we can't accept cash.” And from this weeks news, we have The Good, The Bad & The Ugly THE GOOD The Cloud offer new deal WiFi access for iPod touch users. Subscribe and register with an iPod Touch and for £3.99 p/m you’ll unlimited (there’s bound to be the usual FUP caveat) WiFi access at 7500 hotspots around the UK. Pretty good vfm, as their normal unlimited account is £11.99 pm. iPod Touch users need to sign-up for the service at www.thecloud.co.uk/iPod THE BAD New iMacs plagued by interface freezing issues Users have reported that Apple's latest iMacs suffer from a flaw that locks up the interface, rendering the system all but inert until a reboot. The system will look and behave as if it's running but is totally unresponsive to any touching of the controls, according to the reports. UPDATED AS WE WERE RECORDING Apple has issued a statement confirming that some iMacs are suffering screen freezes since a recent software update was installed - but promises a software repair soon. Apple explained: "We are tracking down the root cause of this bug, and will issue a software update which corrects it as soon as we can - most likely later this month. We apologise for the inconvenience." THE UGLY - New Zune 2 to take on Apple's iPod The new Zunes have a familiar design but new interface and a controller nicknamed the squircle. Microsoft has launched three new models of its Zune digital media player in an effort to compete with Apple's iPod. The players - which come in 4GB, 8GB and 80GB, but although the Brown has gone, the new Green is pretty awful.
