Compaq Presario V3000T ( Just buy !! )

Highlighted by an innovative new design, the lightweight Presario V3000T notebook combines the latest on-the-go technology with desktop PC essentials. Catering to fast-paced lifestyles, this sleek laptop is ready for mobile multitasking.

Genuine Windows XP
The Compaq Presario V3000T comes standard with genuine Windows XP Home Edition. If you need to connect to an office or school network, we recommend genuine Windows XP Professional, which supplies extra virus protection. All the PCs in this series will be able to run Windows Vista Basic when properly configured.

The latest in mobile computing power
Intel's innovative Core Duo technology puts two cores in a single processor, giving you enhanced games, music, photography, and video. You also get significantly improved performance when running multiple applications. Watch a high-definition movie and work on demanding graphics projects at the same time without slowing the system.

Elegant look
HP has taken notebook design to new standards with the V3000T's sophisticated, high-gloss, patterned, black resin finish. A latchless closure further streamlines the smooth look of this durable laptop. In addition, the V3000T features touch-technology media launch buttons and an AC power port that lights up.

Super sound, gorgeous graphics
The spacious (14.1") high-definition BrightView widescreen lets you view 30% more on your screen than the standard 15" display, and the 16:10 aspect ratio easily positions two pages side by side. The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 graphics card delivers exceptionally realistic visuals and stellar multimedia. The integrated Altec Lansing speakers supply high-quality audio; you adjust the volume by swiping your finger across a strip on the keyboard. The V3000T comes with one stereo headphone jack; stereo earbud headphones (optional) let you and a friend enjoy music without annoying those around you.

Boot the boot-up
The Compaq Presario V3000T features the latest version of QuickPlay 2.1 for starting DVDs and MP3 files, plus accessing your photos, in seconds. An optional remote control, which can be stored in the ExpressCard slot, lets you use QuickPlay from up to 10 feet away. If you select a SuperMulti DVD±RW/R drive, you can turn your pictures into movies with muvee autoProducer, or edit video and create CDs and DVDs with Sonic MyDVD. Go a step further by choosing the LightScribe option (now 33 percent faster) on the SuperMulti DVD+/RW/R drive to laser-etch labels on your discs.

Connectivity choices
Use the HP xb3000 Notebook Expansion Base (sold separately) to connect the V3000t to peripherals (e.g., a monitor), for a true desktop experience. Other ports include two USB 2.0, an RJ-11, an RJ-45 and an S-Video. You also get an ExpressCard/54 slot plus integrated 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN and Bluetooth (optional).

Support certified by JD Powers
HP's renowned, one-year limited warranty includes toll-free 24 x 7 technical support, parts, labor, on-line chat with support agents, and e-mail response within an hour.

MP3 Players & MP3 Accessories Buying Guide

Select the Right MP3 Player for You

Different types of MP3 players (hard drive-based, flash-based, and MP3/CD) work best for different types of people. Before you buy, use this guide to figure out how you plan to use your player most.

Give me MP3 music all day long

Stay entertained at the office, during your commute, or at home with a hard-drive MP3 player. These players offer huge amounts of storage compared to flash-based players, making them the perfect choice for anyone who wants to listen to a large selection of music over a long period of time. Unfortunately, hard drives have movable parts that can be damaged by high-impact movement, making hard drive-based MP3 players less suitable for people who want to listen to music while exercising. Popular hard-drive MP3 players include the Apple iPod, Creative Zen, Dell DJ, Rio Carbon, RCA Lyra Jukebox RD2840, and Rio Nitrus.

I want to run with my MP3 player

Invigorating music livens up any workout. Skip the movable parts, which can be damaged with a lot of movement, and look at flash-based MP3 players. Many include a radio tuner and voice recorder and some even support Secure Digital cards, CompactFlash, SmartMedia cards, or MultiMediaCards, relatively inexpensive memory cards also used by digital cameras and some PDAs. If you already use a memory card for other devices, buy a player that supports the same type of memory card, and use your storage media with all your devices. Popular flash-based MP3 players include the Apple iPod Shuffle, iRiver iFP series, NOMAD MuVo, and Rio Forge Sport.

I want a flexible and inexpensive MP3 player

All of us want to save a little money. Although hard drive-based players often give you a better value per megabyte, flash-based MP3 players (see shopping recommendations above) and MP3/CD players usually cost less overall. If you like to burn CDs, seriously consider MP3/CD players. They play back audio CDs as well as MP3s burned to CD and look like traditional portable CD players. Some even include an FM radio tuner so you can listen to your favorite local stations. Popular MP3/CD players include the iRiver SlimX and Rio Volt.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determine How Much Storage You Need

eBay sellers list an MP3 player's storage capacity by megabyte (MB) or gigabyte (GB). One megabyte (1MB) equals about one minute of CD-quality MP3 music.

Hard drive MP3 players

Office-dwellers will want enough storage to stay entertained throughout the day. A hard drive-based player with 4GB of storage holds about 1,000 songs, a player with 20GB of storage holds about 5,000 songs, and a player with a 60GB hard drive can hold a whopping 15,000 songs. Keep in mind that you can use your MP3 player as a portable hard drive, storing data files on the space you don't use for music.

Flash-based MP3 players

If you plan on using your player for an hour at the gym every day, you don't need a ton of storage space. 64MB will let you store about one hour of MP3 music, which comes out to about 32 songs. If you want to mix things up with more song options, invest in more storage. Remember, some flash-based players support memory cards. A 512MB card can keep you groovin' for up to eight hours, or you could keep several smaller cards handy with different music on each one.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discover iPods & iPod Accessories

You'll find a large selection of Apple iPods, one of the most popular MP3 players on the market, on eBay. You'll see everything from first-generation players to the latest fourth-generation iPods and iPod nano. When you read an iPod item description on eBay, find out which accessories a seller includes. To get started, you'll generally need a dock, headphones (sometimes called earbud headphones), and a FireWire cable or USB 2.0 cable.

iPod Shuffle: Apple's flash-based player, iPod Shuffle, comes in 512MB and 1GB sizes. It's about the size of a pack of gum and doesn't have a screen, playing back songs on random (shuffle) or in the order they were put on the player. It connects directly to your computer via USB and does not use a dock with cables. Since it doesn't have movable parts, it makes a great player for people who love to exercise.
iPod nano: The slim and trim iPod nano measures 3.5" x 1.6" x .27" and can hold 500 to 1,000 songs, depending on storage size. It also features a 1.5" LCD screen with backlight.
iPod: Apple's 30GB and 60GB iPods feature click wheels, offer battery life up to 12 hours, and can play back songs, podcasts, photos, and most recently, video.
Apple iPod from HP: The fourth-generation (4G) Apple iPod from HP marketed by Hewlett-Packard comes pre-formatted for Windows and the HP logo appears on the back.
iPod U2 Special Edition: iPod U2 Special Edition includes all the features of the 4G iPod. The sleek black case includes a red click wheel and autographs from members of U2 (yes, the band) on the back.

Buy a retired iPod

Older, retired iPods can cost less than their new counterparts, but you need to consider a few things when buying one.

Windows compatibility: First and second-generation (1G and 2G, respectively) players usually require additional third-party software to work with Windows. Third-generation (3G) players come with a Windows installation utility.
Battery life: iPods use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which you can recharge between 300 and 450 times. After that, the battery dies completely. A replacement battery for an iPod no longer under warranty runs $99 from Apple. If you're concerned, verify with the seller that the battery still works or was recently replaced.
Connections: First and second-generation (1G and 2G) players have a FireWire data port at the top while third-generation (3G) players use a connector dock. Make sure a dock is included with players that have lower storage capacity.
The wheel: How you select iPod menu options varies from generation to generation. 1G players have a mechanical scroll wheel, 2G players use a touch-sensitive non-moving wheel surrounded by mechanical buttons, and 3G players use touch-sensitive buttons. If you like 3G players, but don't want to accidentally select things off the menu with the touch-sensitive buttons, go with a 4G player.

iPod accessories

Whether you want to trick out your player with a skin or charge it in the car, you can get everything you need to integrate your iPod into your life on eBay.

iPod on the go: When you want to take your iPod out into the world, you'll need a protective case or exercise-ready carrying case to protect it. You may also want to personalize it with skins, different headphones, and more.
iPod at home: Use your iPod as a stereo by integrating it with speakers and a remote control.
iPod in the car: Take your music collection on the road with a cassette adapter, FM transmitter, car holder or car kit, and car charger.

What's GPS ?

The Global Positioning System (GPS), is the only fully-functional satellite navigation system. More than two dozen GPS satellites orbit the Earth, transmitting radio signals which allow GPS receivers to determine their location, speed and direction.

Since the first experimental satellite was launched in 1978, GPS has become indispensable for navigation around the world, and an important tool for map-making and land surveying. GPS also provides a precise time reference used in many applications including scientific study of earthquakes, and synchronization of telecommunications networks.

Developed by the United States Department of Defense, it is officially named NAVSTAR GPS (Navigation Signal Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System). The satellite constellation is managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. Although the cost of maintaining the system is approximately US$400 million per year, including the replacement of aging satellites, GPS is free for civilian use as a public good.

In late 2005, the first in a series of next-generation GPS satellites was added to the constellation, offering several new capabilities, including a second civilian GPS signal called L2C for enhanced accuracy and reliability. In the coming years, additional next-generation satellites will increase coverage of L2C and add a third and fourth civilian signal to the system, as well as advanced military capabilities.

In addition to the full sized models, there is the iPod mini, which was discontinued with the introduction of the iPod nano, and the iPod shuffle, so called because it has no screen and was marketed with the ability to shuffle songs. Recent iPods are designed around a central scroll wheel — although the iPod shuffle has buttons only. The full-sized model stores media on an internal hard drive, while the other models use flash memory, allowing for a physically smaller size. The most expensive iPods can hold audio, photos, movies, and games, though most are used primarily as music players, which is the originally intended design function. Like many digital audio players, iPods can also serve as external data storage devices, holding any file type.

Apple focused its development on the iPod's unique user interface and its ease of use, rather than on technical capability, which has been criticized for not including certain features such as radio. For simplicity, media files are not managed on the iPod itself but instead take advantage of Apple's jukebox application, iTunes. The software now runs cross-platform on Apple's Macintosh computers and competitor Microsoft's Windows operating system, as do recent iPod models, and is available as a free download from Apple. It stores a comprehensive library of music on the user's computer and can play, burn, and rip music from a CD, and serves as a browser for the iTunes Store, all of which can be done without an iPod. However, iTunes is required to sync media files to an iPod.

The iPod is currently the world's best-selling range of digital audio players and its worldwide mainstream adoption makes it one of the most popular consumer brands. Some of Apple's design choices and proprietary actions have, however, led to criticism and legal battles.

What's Smartphone ?

A smartphone is any electronic handheld device that integrates the functionality of a mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA) or other information appliance. This is often achieved by adding telephone functions to an existing PDA (PDA Phone) or putting "smart" capabilities, such as PDA functions, into a mobile phone. A key feature of a smartphone is that additional native applications can be installed on the device. The applications can be developed by the manufacturer of the handheld device, by the operator or by any other third-party software developer. "Smart" functionality includes any additional interface including a QWERTY board, a touch screen, or even just secure access to company mail, such as is provided by a BlackBerry.

It is increasingly difficult to define exactly what qualifies as a "smartphone". Nearly all new mobile phones have some rudimentary PDA functionality such as phonebooks, calendars, and task lists. Furthermore, BREW and Java ME devices allow for the installation of additional applications but are still not considered smartphones. There are many BREW devices with PDA functionality, the ability to run third-party applications in native code and sporting displays as large as 240x320 pixels; yet they are not considered "smartphones". The elusive definition seems loosely tied to the particular operating systems listed below. A non "smart" mobile phone may be referred to as a Feature Phone, a Dumb Phone, etc..

Fundamentally, these seem to be the common traits: Smartphones are voice-centric devices (voice is the primary function, data is secondary) that offer PDA-like capabilities, whereas PDAs or Personal Communicators (such as most BlackBerries) may offer voice capabilities, but they are data-centric. Smartphones are generally capable of one-handed operation, while PDAs generally require use of both hands. But it can be argued that this definition based on the device's "focus" may fail, as devices integrate more features [1]].

Smartphone features tend to include Internet access, e-mail access, scheduling software, built-in camera, contact management, GPS navigation software and occasionally the ability to read business documents in a variety of formats such as PDF and Microsoft Office. In the CTIA conference held in Atlanta, Georgia in March 2004, incorporation of television into the smartphone was among the topics discussed.

The first smartphone was called Simon designed by IBM in 1992 and shown as a concept product that year at COMDEX, the communications industry trade show held in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was released to the public in 1993 and sold by BellSouth. Besides a mobile phone, it also contained a calendar, address book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, and games. Customers could also use a stylus to write directly on its screen to create facsimiles and memos.

As of 2004 smartphones were an increasingly large part of the mobile telephone market. According to the analysts, Canalys, smartphone shipments increased more than 50 percent from the second quarter of 2005 to the second quarter of 2006 with nearly nineteen million devices shipped in the latter period [2]. It is expected that in a few years most phones sold (except for disposable phones) will be considered "smart". Smartphone is usually used as a term contrasting "regular phones". Various terms exist for non smart phones, including Feature phone

What's Notebook ?

Notebook or Laptop is a small mobile personal computer, which usually weighs 2.2-12 pounds (1-6 kilograms), depending on size, materials and other factors.

While the terms laptop and notebook are often used interchangeably, "laptop" is the older term, introduced in 1983 with the Gavilan SC. "Notebook computer" is a later coinage, which was used to differentiate smaller devices such as those of the NEC UltraLite and Compaq LTE series in 1989, which were, in contrast to previous laptops, the approximate size of an A4 paper sheet.^[1] The terms are imprecise: due to heat and other issues, many laptops are inappropriate for use on one's lap, and most notebooks are not the size of typical A4 paper notebook. Although some older portable computers, such as the Macintosh Portable and certain Zenith TurbosPort models, were sometimes described as "laptops", their size and weight were too great for this category.

Laptops usually run on a single battery or from an external AC/DC adapter which can charge the battery while also supplying power to the computer itself.

As personal computers, laptops are capable of the same tasks as a desktop PC, although they are typically less powerful for the same price. They contain components that are similar to their desktop counterparts and perform the same functions, but are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use and efficient power consumption. Laptops usually have liquid crystal displays and most of them use different memory modules for their random access memory (RAM), for instance, SO-DIMM in lieu of the larger DIMMs. In addition to a built-in keyboard, they may utilize a touchpad (also known as a trackpad) or a pointing stick for input, though an external keyboard or mouse can usually be attached.

What's PDAs ?

Personal Digital Assistants are handheld devices that were originally designed as personal organizers, but became much more versatile over the years. PDAs have many uses: calculating, use as a clock and calendar, playing computer games, accessing the Internet, sending and receiving e-mail, use as a radio or stereo, video recording, recording notes, use as an address book, GPS and use as a spreadsheet. Newer PDAs also have both color screens and audio capabilities, enabling them to be used as mobile phones (smartphone), web browsers or portable media players. Many PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi, or Wireless Wide-Area Networks (WWANs). One of the most significant PDA characteristic is the presence of a touch screen.

What's Gadget ?

A Gadget is a device that has a useful specific practical purpose and function. Gadgets tend to be more unusual or cleverly designed than normal technology. In some circles the distinction between a gadget and a gizmo is that a gizmo has moving parts, whereas a gadget need not have them. For example, a nifty digital watch would be a gadget, while an analog watch would be a gizmo.

In contrast, a device of clever design that has no practical purpose is called a novelty item.

The etymology of the word gadget is disputed. Some sources say it was "invented" when Gaget, Gauthier & Cie, the company behind the casting of the Statue of Liberty, made a small-scale version of the monument and named it after their firm. Other sources cite a derivation from sailors' terminology; the French gâchette which has been applied to various pieces of a firing mechanism; the French gagée, a small tool or accessory; the French engager, to engage one thing with another; or even a diminutive of the Scottish engineering jargon gadge, a form of measuring device. The spring-clip used to hold the base of a vessel during glass-making is also known as a gadget.
