JVC has brought a new way of docking to iPod owners; with their JVC NX-PN7 this is not just a docking station. JVC has placed them selves in a different arena when it comes to this product, which has not one but two docking stations.The JVC NX-PN7 is a tabletop appliance that is capable of docking two iPods side-by-side and equipped with speakers. This component measures thirteen inches wide, it also features Am and FM radio tuner, it comes with a clock that has a timer and is has ease of use with a remote.
Another feature that the JVC NX-PN7 has to offer iPod owners is the ability to charge both iPods while they are docked and being played. This small sized unit gives iPod families the ability to listen to more than one play list or the person who owns more than one iPod the choice of which to listen to with a click of the remote.
Best of all these new JVC NX-PN7 units will be available to consumers in April of this year and come in several colors such as blue, green and red. The thirteen inch size also enables iPod owners to move it to any room in the house or leave it in one place and with the clock and timer it is also useful for more than docking iPods. In other iPod news, according to a story in the highly respected Chicago Tribune, it was reported that the iPod Touch was upgraded with 2 powerful trends which are currently sweeping the gadget landscape: the use of Wi-Fi and the ever-increasing assortment of third-party applications for hand-held devices. Many of the technological features normally associated with the iPhone are being integrated into the iPod. You may also add features such as Google mobile and direct links to several news sites. Pretty cool stuff to be sure. Apple is really evolving their line.

A research study conducted by the Nielsen ratings service appears to suggest that individuals are ever more likely to use technology,
particularly the world wide web, to catch up or stay up to speed with their TV habits. All in all, the evidence shows
that some fifty-six percent of adults aged 18 - 34 years old were likely to use the web, a DVR or VOD service to catch up on their favorite tv programs such as ‘Lost’,
‘Dancing with the Stars’ or whatever.
By contrast, twenty-one percent of older adults (those aged over fifty-five) are likely to as well. The big
Networks persist in drawing in the most users. For example, fully half of those wanting to catch up logged on to ABC.com while another forty-one percent or so
logged on to NBC.com. In the meantime, CBS.com drew some thirty-seven percent of users who use the web to get up to speed. For the time being this data appears to be an indicator
that network TV should start modifications concerning changes just how they distribute their TV programs. In addition, it appears to indicate that advertisers might soon have another venue with which to advertise on.
Sponsoring a full-length episode of
a tv program show online or buying a package which permits a commercial to be run both on the live broadcast plus the web version could help to increase the ROI of a campaign or the recognition of a brand.
I have also noticed a tendency of cable to do the same thing. VH1 may be the leader in this regard and i am sure that their web site recieves a lot of traffic. For example, Vh1 shows
such as ‘Hogan Knows Best’, ‘Rock of Love’ with Brett Michaels and the ‘Pick Up Artist’ starring Mystery all persistently promote their web presence. The Discovery Channel, the Military Channel and A & E are aggressive in this regard as well. Will TV ever go the downward route of paper newspapers? Time will only tell.
