Mircosoft is taking its name (part two)

the Zune HD Photobucket

ok so i have already talked about the zune HD before but lets just try to make a short and sweet blog about it, and to the point of this blog series which is just expressing the OMG about MS this year. on that not i do relize that the zune HD came out last year, but like W7 it well be realy coming to life this year

so lets begin

1) OLED, ok for most people we could care less what the screen is so long as it dues a good job making a picture. that being said other then the siance that makes up the OLED the picture is the best thing you can see on such a small area to put a screen in, and since a OLED is basicly a screen printed on fabric (hear is a cheristmess tree made of a OLED screen) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqMXk3mntOQ
so what is the scince of the OLED ? first of it pruduces light in the pixel no back light
(like ipod, cells phones, game boy, ds, PSP, gps.....)
this means brighter colors, and that the blacks well be true black cus their well be NO color coming from the "black" area
it also means that since theis is no back light that their is a longer battery life
3 hours longer then the ipod touch to be in perspective. and its a high responsive multi touch screen.

2) the Nvidea tegra chip, this handy chip in caparison with the graphics in the ipod touch are worlds apart in this case ipod is = to n64 and zune HD is = to xbox (original)

3) HD radio, ok you might ask your self WTF do i need radio for when i have a MP3 player in the first place....and i say to you SHUT UP, cus you probably dont like music then. if you really LOVE music you still listen to the radio, and HD means longer area to listen in, no static, and 2-3 channels on HD stations. which most radio stations brodcaset in HD already. so if their is comershels on one channel u can just switch to a different channel on that same station. and of course the obilaty to tag those songs on your shopping cart for latter.

4) HD video out, it plays HD video but clearly is not big enough to enjoy on such a small screen so you can just hook it up to the TV and play that HD video.

5) other such things!!!!, eceleromitor (the device that makes it motion sensitive)

smart DJ (costume play lists based on info thats on the song, album, or artist)
creating play lists in the divice

apps though not a large selection of apps now, all the BIG stuff is coming in the holiday season of 2010, when windows mobile 7, and courier are in the market. both of those devices well share the zune software and share media like apps and games.
how their is some good apps/ games for it already 15 good ones in perspective apple has only made 5 of their own apps the rest are all 3rd party, so realy MS is kicking em out good.
things like calculator, facebook, twitter, bowling, project gothem racing, texes hold em, audio surf... wich all allow you to play music during game/app play.

software based on simple, artistic, and user friendly system. wich click and drag, for sysnking to divice, changing meta data by dropping making a play list, or what ever elce.

subscription based music survice thats $14 a month for unimeted down loading.

not to mention its part of the "MS ecosystem" allowing you to talk to your xbox 360, pc, surface, mobile 7, and courier.
for more info just go str8 to the source, even play with the software for free on your pc if you want to excperement http://zune.net/en-US/

Microsoft is taking its name (part one)

so lets us start with the first of MS prodcuts, it was released last year i know, but their are still a lot of people getting it on their PC and people saving up for it, not to mention it came out late in the year. of cource this is windows 7

so lets brake down why this is such a big deal

well for one its Microsoft's new OS so that alone says WOW. but why its this extra wow?

1) instead of just coming out with a NEW OS they decided to just reinvent Vista. basicly its the same OS in a lot of ways, or in looks any way. but from a software prespective much has bin inproved upon. and for the better.

2) rather then just releace BIG updates to make the OS of Vista better. they just took all the good ideas from Vista and XP rolled it into one, wile taking out all te problembs.

3) it uses less power to run, thats right now your 90 min battery well run about 120 min
i know mine has changed for the better with W7 now on my HP touchsmart laptop.

4) WOW its so much faster......like almost x2 faster.

5) the tool bar window pains. at first it just looks like cool eye candy but it realy is part of the BIG difference. u can take any icon and "pin" it to the tool bar, it well temperarely pin when u open a program. (like it always has) but it only shows the icon now, rather then the icon and txt. wich personely i think is better. Photobucket
as you can see theis is a icon window pain on the bottom tool bar (i personely put my tool bar on the right side of my screen)

and it well also group all windows of that same program and put it into the same icon window pain. when u click or hover of the pain it well show u small windows of the windows that are open

4) though most of the updates are BIG things that just make the OS easer to use and work fast and more intuitive, one cool thing i like about W7 is the theme controle, u can make our own or down loade new ones, or even just use the ones it comes with, each one his its own set of sounds, color of glass, and selection of backgrounds that well change, and change at the speed you want. i personely love the zune art themes the wallpaper is brilent and the sounds are interesting but have a zen quality to them.

or go hear to learn more

their are meany other things i could ramble on about, but let me just link you up with some videos and pages that well give you what u need to know, but before let me just say this, compared to the rest of theis blog series, W7 might not seem as INTERESTING. but remember W7 is what has made all the other products and looking at it from the perspective that it makes the computer you have BETTER, or your new computer the product it is, then one should think of that value and realy in brace the upgrade from vista or XP to W7

so we shall start off with what you need to know in the 3 flavors of each W7
home, profeshinal, or ultemit. and trust me if your really going to get the upgrade for just the upgrade get home edition, and feel free to have geek squad do your updating unless you REALY know what your doing cus you can save some time reinstalling all your programs and having to keep going to your windows.old file for all your old files. but if you plan on spending money on the upgrade for all its tricks and treats go ahead and skip out on office and go st8 to ultimet just for the sake of its only $20 more then office why not get all it has to offer. and for that look hear

for videos and other little bits of info go to this page

id also like to add that W7 has multi touch function so you well be seeing that in a lot of new laptops and even desktops that well now have touch screens, HP really has its head in the game for this one as it has both desk top and laptops with touch screen (i know im using the laptop) and they have also made a deck top monitor that has touch for those of you that need the screen but have the computer. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/382087-382087-64283-3181050-3181048-4031739.html
