Can The Iphone Connect With Ipod Accessories?

When you first get your Apple iPhone it is extremely likely that you do not let your phone out of your hands for several days. This is only to be expected because a lot of people have questions about the iPhone and whether it is compatible with out electronic devices, particularly devices manufactured by Apple. One of the most common questions that arises is whether the iPhone is compatible with accessories designed for the iPod. Since this is a cell phone rather phone many people assume they are incompatible but they are hugely mistaken.

All of the iPhones are compatible with most iPod accessories, thus making your iPhone even more convenient and user friendly. But another question that many people still have is what exact iPod accessories can you use with your new iPhone? Of course, many people love to use their iPods not only for personal music enjoyment, but also to feel a party with their favorite tunes. And if you no longer carry around your iPod, but rather your iPhone, you may be worried that you aren’t going to be able to connect your iPhone to the speaker system your iPod used to connect with. Yet, with all it’s amazing glory, the iPhone has the same connectivity port as the iPhone, thus it will connect seamlessly to any iPod speaker systems as well as car docks.

Some accessories, however, have been modified to work better with the iPhone. One example of this are headphones. While you can of course plug standard headphones into your iPhone you may find it inconvenient having to remove them to take a call when your phone rings. Apple have come up with a solution to this and designed headphones especially for use with the iPhone. These headphones feature a microphone built into the cord which means that when you have to take a call all you need to do is press a small button on the microphone. When you do this any song that you were playing will be paused and you can take the call. The same button is also used to end the call. You will also hear the call through the headphones which means that you will now hear your friends talking to you in stereo!

One reason why the iPhone headphone set is a must have accessory is that it adds extra safety when you are driving. Since you no longer need to hold your phone to your ear you can safely keep both hands on the steering wheel. You also have the freedom to move your head backwards and forwards ensuring that you can still see all the traffic around you.
The iPhone headphones allow you to keep your conversations going without any need to hold the phone. Not only can you now speak to people at any time in true stereo but you can stay focused on the road ahead and not get distracted by having to hold your phone.

Be Careful Of How You Clean Your New Apple Mighty Mouse

I have a couple of macs. A G5 and the new Imac. I am a clean guy. Many people point this out to me on a constant basis :)

I have destroyed my Mighty Mouse by cleaning it too much and wanted to warn the rest of you about this potential problem.

Sometimes when you use the Mighty Mouse it gets gunk on the mouse controlled (grease build up, dirty hands, whatever).

Make sure you avoid getting the little Mouse button in the center wet. It will cause it not to work properly and mine has never recovered.

So basically the Apple Mighty Mouse is not so mighty when it comes to a little Windex.

iPod In-Ear Headphones Don’t Stick In My Ears

I will readily admit I am a big Apple fan. Love their computers, love their products, love their ads. Usually, I can’t get enough of Apple. I have a year old iPod Nano and the ear buds that come with them have started to go. No problem, I’ve been waiting for that so I could have a reason to get those cool looking, iPod In-Ear Headphones which on the Apple site describes them as having “great sound quality and bass response, and come with three different sized caps to ensure the headphones fit comfortably and securely in your ear.” Sounds good to me. Yesterday, visited Future Shop, picked up my new headphones, and headed home - I couldn’t wait to test them out. Turns out, the best part of buying them was tearing away the cellophane wrap. Everything went downhill from there. I stuck the things in my ear and they fell out. It comes with soft ear end pieces in three sizes (S,M,L), so I tried them all. They still fell out. Turned the box cover over to make sure it was made by Apple - it was. Are my ears that deformed? Or is this just not a very well thought-out product? Not impressed. After returning to the Apple site to read up more on the In-Ear headphones to see if there were any other options or if I was just sticking it in my ear wrong, came across a whole bunch of customer reviews describing the same problem. I know, I should have read them first, but hey, this is Apple, right? Today I’ll have to head back to return them. I can just see what my conversation with the customer sevice desk will be like:
