Shure SE series : Earphones

Shure, the Chicago based audio electronics company announced the economically priced earphones, recently. Similar products from competing companies cost anywhere between $200 and $500 in the market. Shure has moved from the professional-only image to the consumer space, and seems to be making hay while the sun is still shining.

The Shure SE110 Sound Isolating Earphones look rather large; it could’ve been made smaller, but that would add to the cost. It looks very good though. It’s mostly black, with a few tinges of white, and will match just about any compatible device you use. Not many earphones deserve such compliments of match-and-contrast. Shure’s trademark-like popularity or legacy, as you would want to call it, continues – with the deep ear design. Sound Isolation? You bet, and it works great.

If you’ve used Shure’s SE series earphones before, then this one will come off as easy as others. The design and the package (overall) are very similar to the previous models. This means that you may not want to, or even need to, read through the manual again. Anyway, do read it. It comes along for a good reason.

The bass is a little weak, and for the bass freaks, that’s a let down. Lows, mids and highs are reasonably good. Listening to vocals was a breeze and they were setting the pulse and the tempo right. The softer ones will sound great with this one, and even the distant notes can be heard very clearly. Although you can’t expect Iron Maiden to get you breaking your neck with the relatively weak bass, the performance is pretty satisfactory. So, if you’re into rock and metal, maybe you can wait until Shure’s future models to release according to your preferences. It seems like they were designer with the soft listener in mind.

To add to it, you get a small kit, which comes with some cleaning component and loads of foam sleeves and custom flanges. They’re easy to use and comfortable in hands of just about any size. It’s evident that Shure sure knows the doorway to musical hearts.

HOW TO UNLOCK APPLE IPHONE

Remove the black part, the three screws, and the aluminum case. Disconnect the wire connecting the phone to the case. Also remove the metal cover over the comm. board. This is all the disassembly you have to do. If you feel like being safe, desolder the battery red lead.

The red line is covering the A17 trace. In order to trick the chip into thinking the flash is erased in the correct section, you will need to pull this high. Scrape away at the trace with something like a multimeter probe. Then solder a very thin wire to it. Be very careful. Only scrape away at that solder mask above that one trace. This is the hardest step in the whole process; the rest is cake. Also solder a wire to the 1.8v line. Connect to wire coming from the trace and the wire coming from the 1.8v to your unlock switch. Be careful, you only get one chance to do this right.

Time to test what you just soldered. First use the continuity check on a multimeter to make sure the wires aren’t shorting to ground or to each other. Make sure your switch is in the off position. Power up your iPhone. Hopefully it didn’t smoke Now go into minicom to tty.baseband and send a few commands, AT a few times will do. It should respond OK. Now flip your switch, the base band should stop responding. Even when you flip it back, the base band still shouldn’t respond. Be sure your switch is off, then open another Ssh and run “bbupdater -v” You can get bbupdater off the ramdisk. This should reset the base band, and minicom should start working again. If it did this, your soldering is most likely good, and you are ready to actually start unlocking your phone!!!

If it passed the checks in step 4, congratulate yourself. You are a pro soldered. Go eat lunch. If not, don’t worry yet. I must’ve thought I bricked my phone 100 times. First of all, to power up your phone you don’t need to reconnect the case with the power button. Just connect it with USB, it’ll power itself up. Secondly, don’t waste time compiling minicom.

This tool uploads a small program, “testcode.bb”, to the base band using the boot rom exploit. This program needs to be in neither a dir with “norâ€�, the file you obtained. You need to have the switch on when running this program. This will download and run the code in “testcode.bb” Then the program will stop and ask to turn off the switch. Do so. You type any character then hit enter. The nor download starts right away. When the counter reaches 0×2E4000, it is done. Run “bbupdater -v”. Hopefully it will return the xgendata. If is does, the nor upload was successful.

If you already used up your attempt counter, the phone should already be unlocked. If not just run ‘AT+CLCK=”PN”, 0,”00000000″. That will unlock the phone for sure. Run ‘AT+CLCK=”PN”, 2. It should finally return 0!!!Your phone is now unlocked. Exit minicom and copy the CommCenter plist back to its place. Reboot. IAsign. And enjoy your unlocked iPhone.

The basic model launched is of 30GB HDD with video playback feature inbuilt. The screen resolution is QVGA and the codec support is quite good. It supports h.264, MP3, AAC and WMA. The wireless Zune to Zune sharing is an exciting feature in Zune and works pretty well. Some extra inbuilt features such as sharing playlists and photos with your friends.

Zune is available in three colors, Black, Brown and White. The configuration is as follows:
4.4 in. x 2.4 in. x 0.6 in. (h x w x d)
Weight: 5.6 ounces
Music up to 14 hours (wireless off), up to 13 hours (wireless on); pictures, up to 4 hours; video, up to 4 hours
Charge Time: 3 hours; 2 hours to 90%
3.0 inch display
320×240 pixels.
It can also play usual un-protected content (MP3, AAC), but also play only protected content from Microsoft new Zune Marketplace.
Some disadvantages with Zune are that it is not compatible with previous Windows Media Player based music stores like Napster, and also it not compatible with Macs.
If you consider the 80GB HDD Zune player, obviously the cost rises but has no warranty from Microsoft. It has the same dimension as the 30GB Zune. But the point is that the 80GB players are not sold out in retail stores. Well there might be some answers to the question.
A protective metal casing must be removed from inside the Zune to install the thicker 80GB drive. This casing shields the drive against crushing forces that may occur when the drive is stepped on, sat on, or otherwise abused. The Zune design team may have felt removing this piece would jeopardize the structural integrity of the player. On the other hand, perhaps they kept the drive small to allow for a lower price point and a future development path for a larger capacity Zune 2.0 device. Around 7000 songs can be added in the 30GB Zune but movies takes lot of space than MP3’s. A 30GB Zune may hold around 25 full length movies at best. In the 80GB player, around 70 full length movies can be added.

Apple TV review

Since its launch in 2006, The Apple TV is making a big impression in the consumers market. It seems like Apple possesses a midas touch when it comes to selling products to the consumers. The Apple TV targets all sets of users. It has blended the worlds of PC and living room entertainment and is the best media-streaming device ever.It has revolutionized the way we watch television and is the next big thing in consumer electronics.

All the previous versions of other devices, which transfers music and video from your PC and plays them on your TV, have been inefficient and have never been popular. Keeping it simple was the new mantra of Apple Inc. Taking this philosophy to the next level; they developed an easy interface similar to iPod.

The Apple TV is provided with a remote. It looks like an iPod but doesn’t function like one. It doesn’t havea click wheel. Instead you need to click up,down, left or right. It runs on a modified version of OS X, and has the functions of a real computer. A 40GB Hard-disk synchronizes with a user’s iTunes library via either hardwired Ethernet or 802.11x WiFi. Apple TV puts all the movie trailers, music and TV shows from Apple.com on your TV and can connect to your TV via an HDMI port or component video.

Now high revolution TV viewing is just three steps away. Downloading from iTunes. Syncing wirelessly from your Mac or PC and watching your contents.

SPECIFICATIONS:

* 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Support
* 802.11n wireless networking
* 40GB hard drive
* Up to 50 hours of movies and TV shows
* Up to 9,000 songs and 25,000 pictures.
* Built-in IR receiver
* Operates on OS X
* Height: 1.1 inches
* Weight: 1.09 kg

PROS:

* Compatible with iTunes Music Store.
* Clean machine design.
* Large hard drive.
* High Streaming
* Internet Connection.

CONS:

* No video codecs support other than H.264 and MPEG-4
* No real 720p support.
* No Divx, XviD, MPEG-2, or WMV Playback.
* Incapable of generating a high-def video signal because of high bit rates.

There is no doubt that Apple TV is far easier to use and is one of its kind. Still a lot could have been better. For instance, In spite of having an internet connection, Apple TV cannot connect directly to the iTunes Store. Downloading a video to the PC, and then syncing it to the Apple TV is a tedious job. Despite those reservations, though, Apple TV is more than just a product. It’s the first media streaming device built for a non-geek. Overall it is a classic gadget which is redefining digital home entertainment and nothing should stop you to take this product home.
