Discover The Latest News From The World Of Audio (computer technology)
No commentsBy Dominic Donaldson
Every year all of the sectors of the electronics industry gear up for their trade show where they can flex their technological muscle. This year in Berlin it is expected that with HDTV hitting the mainstream, the latest models of HD ready TV sets will dominate the show. There has been some news on other fronts and this article delivers the latest audio news summarising the most recent developments from the IFA.
There have been several additions from Griffin technology the self proclaimed leader in iPod technology covering iPhones, iPods and anything related. Most of the models that have been unveiled are updates on previous models and they include the iTrip Universal, iTrip Auto and WindowSeat for iPhone 3G.
The iTrip universal allows any audio to be played through a 3.5mm connection including portable CD players, FM stereo and of course your iPod. Partnered with the iTrip Auto which has streamlined the process of charging and playing your iPod in car this is a great solution to those M25 traffic jams. For the full set the WindoSeat allows you to mount your iPhone or iPod on the dash board or windshield at eye level to make operations more user friendly and safer.
Although these developments might seem like a bit of an innovative anti-climax Sony has remedied this with the European launch of the Sony Rolly. This unusual piece of audio equipment is a speaker that can move certain parts in a choreographed performance to certain tracks. It has multi-coloured lights which flash as it, well rolls around and flaps extremities. It comes with certain memorised songs such as The Pretender by the Foo Fighters, which will show the Rolly at best.
At around 400 dollars you might be forgiven for thinking what an incredible waste of money, however it is a unique devise and after the initial launch the price might well drop considerably. Something audio with a bit more practical application a considerably lesser amount of flashing lights is the Plantronics Gamecom 777. This is fitted with 5.1 cinematic surround sound allowing the audio to exist in real proximity and gamers can pinpoint enemies via their audio movements.
There is a noise cancelling feature which is designed to lower frustrations when playing multi-player online games and the audio technology is Dolby Pro Logic II and digitally separates and amplifies multiple speakers to create a 360 degree audio effect. This sounds great on paper however it has just been launched and costs around 80GBP which as far as high spec gaming headphones go is not too bad. The IFA continues with most top electronic manufacturers represented so the audio news will continue.

The Best Way To Use Air Miles Credit Cards
By Peter Kenny
These days there are many different credit card types around to choose from, and one group of credit cards are known as rewards based credit cards. There are a number of different rewards that you can choose from within this category, and one of the reward types available is air miles, which can prove invaluable to those that tend to travel abroad a lot whether on business or for pleasure. Travelling by air can be expensive, and every little can help when it comes to cutting costs on air travel. With an air miles credit card you can enjoy earning miles that can save you money on the cost of air travel, which is great whether you are a business or a leisure traveller.
Air miles credit cards are available from a range of providers and as with any other credit card it is important to compare the different cards and providers in order to determine which is going to be the most suitable card for your needs. These cards are best suited to those that pay their credit card balance off in full each month and therefore do not pay interest, as otherwise the amount that you pay in interest will far outweigh the rewards that you receive.
With an air miles credit card you earn miles for every pound that you spend on the card on purchases, so the more you use the card and the more you spend on it the higher the number of miles that you accrue. However, you should bear in mind that no miles are given for cash transactions or withdrawals, and in fact you will be charged high fees and interest charges for such transactions so they are best avoided if possible. The number of air miles awarded per pound spent can vary from one provider to another, and this is why it is important to compare the different deals and try and maximise on the number of air miles that you can earn by spending on the card.
If you do not travel by air regularly then there is little point having an air miles credit card, and you may find that some other type of rewards based credit card is better suited to your needs. If you do not spend on your credit card regularly it may also not be particularly suitable, as it will take far too long to build up the number of miles that you need.
When looking for an air miles credit card you do, of course, have to check to see how many air miles you can earn per pound spent on the credit card. However, there are also other areas that you should look at. For example, you may find that some cards that offer a higher number of miles per pound spent charge a hefty annual fee, and this may be something that you prefer to avoid, so make sure that you look at the bigger picture before you make your decision.
