Expanding The Sandisk Sansa Clip

Some time ago, I had the opportunity to review the Sandisk Sansa Clip.  It is a great, little music player, which is ideal for runners and other individuals who do not need constant access to the screen.  My only complaint about this player was that it has limited internal memory and no opportunity for expansion.  Even though it can only play music, I still found the maximum size of 4 GB to be a bit limiting.

All of that is about to change, however, with the release this week of an 8 GB version of Sansa Clip.  The 8GB Clip, which makes its debut this week, is able to hold up to 4000 songs, without any modifications to its miniscule size.  You can find more information at Sansa’s website, where you can also purchase the 8GB Sansa Clip for only $99.99.

Review: The BlueAnt V1 Bluetooth Headset

I have reviewed a lot of headsets since I started writing for JAMM.  In fact, I have tested and reviewed many of the most prominent names in Bluetooth headsets: Jawbone, Plantronics, SoundID…you name it, I have probably reviewed it.  All, that is, except BlueAnt.  So, when I had the opportunity to review the Blueant V1,compliments of the JAMM Store, I jumped at the chance.  And I have to say, this is a headset like none that I have reviewed.

Listen To This: Accessories

This is just a quick follow up to the hardware post in this series.  In that post, we looked at the hardware and some pseudo-unboxings.  Well, just to finish off the unboxing theme, I thought we could take a quick look at what else comes in the boxes.  And it is not much: a sync charge cable, some headphones, and various other sundry manuals.  Not much controversy there…or so you might think.

Thank You For Being Our Friends (Part II)

A few days ago, I had a chance to tell you about our fantastic sponsors, without whom much of this would not be possible.  And while I am on that subject, a big welcome back to Spb Software House, who is rejoining us as a sponsor next week.  They will be promoting the latest version of their annual Windows Mobile user survey.  Make sure you check it out in order to have your voice heard.

Anyway, while I love all of our sponsors, and truly appreciate all that they allow us to do, they are not necessarily what makes this site run on a daily basis.  That honor, my friends, goes to all of you, our readers, who have helped us edge ever closer to 3000 (yes, 3000) RSS subscribers and 1000 daily readers.

MSI Wind: A Day In My Life

A few weeks ago, I introduced you all to my latest purchase, the MSI Wind netbook (Wind stands for Wireless Network Device.)  I unboxed it and briefly explained the reasons behind my purchase.  At that time, I promised a full review would follow.  In the interim, however, I have found that there is an abundance of traditional reviews of the Wind, including this fantastic head-to-head review of the MSI Wind and Asus 1000.  As such, I really did not think I would have anything to add through a traditional review.  I agree with much of what has already been said.  But, that does not mean I am without opinions on this one. 

So, rather than go through the Wind point by point, I am going to tell you why I bought the Wind and what my expectations were.  And we’ll see how it lives up to my preconceived notions.  Ready?  Let’s get started.

Station Break: Jam On Revenge

Back when I was in about 5th or 6th grade, and up through probably eight grade, the big craze (and I mean huge) was breakdancing.  Everyone loved it, cool kids and otherwise.  And all of you 30-somethings out there, don’t try to deny it.  I know many of you probably have the same reaction I do when you see a cardboard mat.  And the answer is, no, if you are at all like me, then you never could do a headspin, and would probably risk serious injury if you tried it now.

Anyway, the point of this post is to remember one of my favorite breakdancing bands, Newcleus…particularly their signature song, Jam On Revenge.  With lyrics which can be reminiscent of, “The Devil Went Down To Georgia,” by The Charlie Daniels Band, Newcleus famously sang:

(Say Superman had came to town to see who he could rock)
(He blew away every crew he faced until he reached our block)
(His speakers were three stories high, with woofers made of steel)
(And when we brought our set outside, he said “Hah, be for real!”)
He said, I’m faster than a speedin’ bullet when I’m on the set
I don’t need no fan to cool my amps, I just use my super breath
I could fly three times around the world without missin’ a beat
I socialize with X-ray eyes, and the ladies think it’s sweet
(And then he turned his power on and the ground began to move)
(And all the buildings for miles around were swayin’ to the groove)
(And just when he had pulled the crowd and swore he’d won the fight)
We rocked his butt with a 12 inch cut called “Disco Kryptonite”

 

Can I get a “Wiki-Wiki?” 

You can check out Jam On Revenge, and all of Newcleus’ classic hip-hop and electro-rock hits on their website.
