A plugin for Apple TV known as “a TV Flash” is an excellent add-on which allows you to take your Apple TV to the next level. It pretty much allows you to turn your Apple TV into a computer! It can be installed much more easily than jailbreaking an iPhone. You simply download “a TV Flash”, stick it on a USB drive, and then put your USB into your Apple TV. Then it boots up with all the new features! Warning: do not unplug it until it is completely done. Once installed, enjoy features such as Mozilla Firefox for web browsing, Boxee, Nitro TV, Quicktime, FTP Clients, VLC, Mobile Air Mouse, Google Earth and even more! With all of this, it brings together the perfect Apple TV. For a one time payment of $49.95 it is all yours. This program is compatible with Windows and Mac, so everyone can be part of the action.

One of the best iPhone accessories that I have reviewed and recieved the most use out of has been the original Mophie Juice Pack. It is the perfect accessory on long trips such as flights and car rides. My main issue with it was it did not completely cover the iPhone 3G causing it to ruin the aesthetic appearance of Apple’s sleek phone and it was bulky. Thankfully Mophie resolved that issue by housing a rechargeable 1200mAh lithium polymer battery inside of a form fitting iPhone case. With the release of the Mophie Juice Pack Air the user is able to carry a spare battery and a case all in one.

The earlier Juice Pack was on all the time but for this newer model, Mophie also included an on/off switch for the battery so that you are not left wondering if the iPhone is being charged. The four LED charge status lights found on the original Juice Pack are still found on the back of the Mophie Juice Pack Air. Now you can carry an iPhone 3G with three times the battery capacity, all in a protective hard shell case.

The Mophie Juice Pack Air comes in a black card board package with the device prominently pictured on the front of the box. Since this is an Apple certified product it has the “Works with iPhone” sticker displayed on the top corner of the package. On the rear of the box one finds a list of features and specs as well as an opening to check the LED charge status. Mophie pre-charges the device, so you are ready to roll as soon as the case/battery is taken out for use.

When you upgrade to the new iPhone 3.1 Firmware you get some really cool features. One is the very popular MMS. MMS stands for Multi Media Messaging.  The SMS appearance is the same except for the fact that right next to the text input there is a little tiny camera. When you tap on the camera you see an action sheet that will say “Take Photo Or Video or Choose Existing”. Depending on what you choose is what you can do! If you click on the first option, it will open the camera application. Once you take your media, on the bottom it will say “Choose or Retake” If you hit “Choose” it will take that media and put it in the text field where you can then write your message. If you hit “Choose Existing” it will open up your photo library where you can choose your media. It will then import the video to the text field. It is a little slow right now, maybe they will do some upgrades.

When the new Microsoft Office comes out in the first half of 2010, Microsoft expects a lot of business and personal computer users to go out and buy it.  It has a lot of new features but the one major difference that is visible is shown in the Outlook application. That feature would be the different paste options you can perform.  I am not talking about the Control C then Control V, I am talking about merging the formatting to the right and the left instead of just the alignment options the offer. These new features in all of the programs are very interesting and helpful. But how much will this product be? Well, the price has not been announced yet but it should be same usual price of $39.9 which is the one user option.

We’ve all seen those mini cellphone rechargers at airports, but Duracell has released a line of rechargeable pocket chargers that can refill any USB compatible device (like iPhones and iPod touches) through compatibility with your own adapters. And our favorite model is cheap. The new device instant charger will be $20, on the down side it will have less power to ice when you have the Powerhouse Charger for $50 with more power to give. The power house gives you 180 minutes of 3G talk time… The powerhouse has a USB pull out with allows you to pull it out and plug it in directly to your blackberry. But how is the power reached to the device. Well the answer is you put in a battery in the device and your off and running a very good and reliable device for a power charger.
