Bexy iMirror - Marantz IS301 - Philips SJM3151 iPod Dock - CD Carrousels Compared

Most iPod docking solutions connect your iPod to your stereo, but you still need to get up to view the little screen if you want to select another artist or album. We've reviewed various solutions that take the concept a step further and allow you to do this from the comfort of your couch.

We let the Bexy iMirror, the Philips SHM3151 and the Marantz IS301 contend and compare both to carrousel solutions.

            

Bexy iMirror iPod dock – See Your iPod Contents On Your Remote

Most iPod docking solutions offer the convenience of connecting your iPod to your hi-fi chain and accessing your whole CD library from the remote control without ever needing to change a CD. However, unless you're sitting next to them, they still require you to get up and walk over to select a new artist or album. Not so with the Bexy iMirror iPod Dock.

Skype Mouse Combines Mouse and Phone – Unclutter your Desk

Since the arrival of Skype and other internet telephony services, many of us are saving a great deal on our phone bills. Since the arrival of Skype, though, yet another device – a phone handset – has to be connected to the PC with yet another cable, anything but decreasing the clutter on our work desks. The USB Skype Mouse takes care of the second problem for you.

Marantz IS301 iPod dock & Wireless Hi-fi Interface

Connecting your iPod to your hi-fi installation is tempting of course. You get your whole CD library at the tip of your fingers, with enough hi-fi power to make your windows vibrate. But so far most solutions haven't been as convenient as this wireless IS301 iPod docking station from Marantz. Read on to see why.

Multi-Chargers for Electronic Devices Compared

We've discussed in a few other articles several multi-chargers for electronic devices. Two of them charge a lot of devices simultaneously. Another one adapts to almost any outlet and is most suitable for travel. All of them have the benefit of only using one power outlet in your home to charge different devices and to reduce cable clutter on your desk. The following table compares the different options. If you know another one that stands out of the crowd, you can let us know.

Orbita Launches a Radically New Mouse Concept for Heavy Scrollers

I was the owner of a wheel mouse for quite some time before I realized just how many unnecessary mouse movements I could save while scrolling through documents. Today, I can't do without it.
Some manufacturers, such as Logitech, later introduced an additional improvement to the wheel mouse in the form of a right-left movement function, allowing you to shift the info on your screen left or right without having to click on any scroll bars. And for the average user, this might be enough. But for those who need to do a lot of scrolling through video footage, 3D graphical design packages, very large spreadsheets, or just have fun with Google Earth or games, Orbita has really been thinking out of the box to come up with a radical new mouse design.

ChargePod - Charge Six Electronic Devices With One Charger

Electronic devices are proliferating in every household. On the upside, most have now started using rechargeable batteries instead of disposables. On the downside, now you have a charger for each device, requiring a mains plug per device and causing a lot of cable clutter. And when you go on travel, you have to drag the whole set with you. This ChargePod multi-charger promises at least some improvement.

Carrousel Style CD/DVD Changers With 300+ Capacity

When it comes to hi-fi, there are three types of people. The ones who buy an inexpensive hi-fi system and connect their MP3 player to it – that's a choice for comfort. Then you have the ones who buy expensive speakers and amplifiers and who use a regular CD player – that's a choice for quality. And then you have the people who use an MP3 player together with an expensive amplifier and speakers – that's money down the drain, at least in my opinion. But there are high-quality space-saving alternatives in the form of carrousel-style CD changers, from Pioneer or Sony for example. And some play DVDs too.

Unfortunately, after extensive use and mishandling of your object of beauty, the screen might begin to look rather shabby instead of shiny. Here's a solution to get rid of those scratches and lengthen its life a bit.
