iPod Audio Video Cable

விடுதலை விடுதலை(Freedom, Freedom) Not by me, but by my laptop.
No more using my laptop for watching movies. Convert DVD,.avi,.mpeg to .mp4, sync with your iPod and directly plug on to your Home Theater / TV. Not sure how many in India know this cool accessory available for Video iPod (5th Generation and above), as for many of my friends an iPod is just a mp3 player and video player during travel. After testing this Cable, I am personally satisfied by the TV - WideScreen Output and the clarity you get on an 29" TV. iPod AV Cable is a healthy cable, bought @ the Apple Store is lil costly, but one could find many more in the gizmodo.com, Amazon and google for a cheaper price. I sync'd couple of Video podcast from NatGeo Website and podbazaar.com and with this cable "I am totally Loving it" :)

Another Gadget added to my list.

ion - The iPod Energizer / Charger

Heard about ion as "More power to Mutter" in aarthir.com. Never realized, ion will be the "Only Power" for my Mutter, except for the time I sync up da playlist.

Following da post, read the story and review in Swaroops blog. First thing it came to my mind was "wow" this would be a nice gift to my friends. Becoz you know how lazy/kanjuse our friends are in buying an alternate power when you have a boring device to charge your iPod.

When I was in Apollo, I really felt the need of ion. My mom was like "Is this what u guys call urself smart where u carry a laptop to charge ur costly pocket radio (excuse me guys.. that is how my mom pisses me off). Immediateaaa logged in.. gave the address.. thanks to paypal easy registration.. just less than a min I orderd an Ion. Second day of order, parcel at your doorstep, simple parcel, simple box, simple device to power your favourite iPod.

Ion impressed me becoz of ...
1. Moral/Story behind ion
2. ion looks kwel, smaller [3 times smaller than my dell laptop charger, guess aarthir is having an advanced sleek laptop charger. :( ], doesn't weight much (can carry easily for long travel)
3. Affordable Price (cheaper than one smirnoff vodka)
4. No need to carry your laptop, and no need of "safetly remove hardware". I like the "Plug and Play" Style of Ion
5. Now I started using my old mp3/fm/recording battery player - powered by ion
6. Play while you charge.

I don't know why, most of my friends would ping me for gift ideas. A couple of weeks before I suggested it for a friend of mine. Seri ippo oru unnmai padam otaraen padichi parunga...

Nanba : Dei machan oru nalla gift onnu solluda..
Me : As usuall namma thaan allaivomae.. Yaruku.. Yennathuku.. Yevlokulla.. Yeppo..
Nanba : Birthday.. Next week.. oru thousand rubhaikulla...
Me : konjam tension agitean yenna athae time namma birthday varuthachae - Payan vivarama avoided the person behind the gift. Then asked.. Unnoda friend kitta iPod irukkada..
Nanba : dei vilayadatha athulam damm costly, athulam ava kita irukku.. so unnoda idea workout agathu..
Me : Avala !!!!.. Maatikiniya PARATA... [Manasukulla bhussa pochu.. cha nan illaya appo :(] why not ion ?
Nanba : yennada 400/- dhana? oru 1000/- ku sollaen da
Me : Convinced him.

Last week

Nanba : Machi super da, Thanks da...
Me : loosu nayae bday ku wish pannama yennada superuu thankssuu.. (antha dog maranthuduchu)
Nanba : Machi neethu ava call panni - ion is one of the best gift i have ever got. oru ten mins was talking about that da.. she was sad that she cannot take her ipod for a week trip as it would require to be charged, but ion has made her trip lively...
Me : Yennaku manasula.. yennada ivan nammala verupetha solrana.. illa dubhakoor vidarananu theriyama muzhichen..
Nanba : Machi you know what she said this "Dude, iPodaa namma ooru potikadaila charge panninen - kwel la"
Nanba : How this can be kwel... da ... yennamo.. anyways my friend is happy ... thot would share da..
Me : Hospital nan patta padu yennaku thaan theriyum.. definitely it is Kwel.. and i liked that "iPod charged in a pan shop"

G8 going ion team, wish you good luck in your new venture.
