Recently I became a fan of the iTunes’ facebook page. Unlike most dull and boring facebook business pages, leave it to Apple to build a surprising refreshing one that user will actually find interesting and useful. With over 10 billion songs downloaded from the iTunes store, it’s become the best source for legally downloadable music, videos, and apps as well as information about iPhone accessories.
Best part of becoming a fan is all the free bonuses you get. They offer several free music downloads through promo codes on their facebook page after you join. Also they will update you on the newest free music and new features on the iTunes store all conveniently through Facebook.
Hurry up and join while they still have these awesome promos. Just follow this link http://www.facebook.com/iTunes.
Travelling is one of my favorite things to do. I’ve flown all over the US and Europe, driven from California to Boston, rode an Amtrak train from Chicago to New York, and even took a multi-day Greyhound bus trip. Nothing makes seeing the beautiful scenery from the window of a car, plane, or train, better than having the perfect music from your iPod playing in the background.
Fortunately to get the most out of your iPod on a long trip, you won’t have to spend an arm and a leg because all the accessories you’ll need are completely interchangeable and will give you multiple other uses.
If you’re traveling by plane, train, or bus, you’ll need to use a high quality pair of ipod headphones to block out the annoying noises of babies crying and other passengers snoring. I recommended a pair of in-ear earphones for superior comfort and sound quality. Since you’ll be potentially listening for hours back to back, investing in good headphones is a must.
Nowadays many planes, trains, and buses have electrical outlets so you can charge your laptop or cell phone. To take advantage of this, get a wall outlet charger to directly plug your iPhone or iPod into the available sockets.
If you’re traveling via a mode of transportation that doesn’t have an electrical outlet, consider getting a Dynamic External Battery. You can pre-charge it and just refill your iPod or iPhone’s battery just by plugging it in. These pack a lot of power in small package, which makes using them for travel an excellent choice.
If you’re traveling by car the single most important accessory you will ever own is a car iPhone charger. Don’t get stuck without one of these on a road trip or you’ll end up having to spend a ridiculous amount of money for a cheap low quality one at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Whether you’re just using your iPod for music, or an iPhone for both music and calling, you won’t regret having this with you; maybe even consider getting a back up car charger for your glove box.
Finally, if you’re your traveling on a long car trip don’t bother with a low tech tape adapter for connecting your iPod or iPhone to your car’s sound system, use an FM transmitter. These give you excellent sound quality, and leave your mobile device within grasping range to change the music at anytime. Also most work with all iPod and iPhone models for added convenience.
Almost everything we shop for everyday has complimentary and competing products. It’s important to weigh all the options before purchasing something to make sure we get the best deal out there. The age-old debate of Brand Name versus aftermarket can be difficult to navigate, but with a little thought you can get a great deal and have a high quality product. Let me explain.
Personally I know many people, including myself, who always buy discount batteries over the name brand batteries. The primary reason I do this is that I find they last just as long as brand name batteries, and in some cases longer, for significantly lower prices. Some may feel that saving a few bucks on a 4-pack of batteries isn’t much, however when you add it up over the year it totals to a pretty significant sum.
This doesn’t apply to everything. Purchasing a lower cost substitute is an excellent decision only in transactions that don’t involve an inferior good. For example, buying Spam instead of steak will not give you same cost/benefit as buying discount batteries. Therefore the key to this is the quality and cost of your substitute.
Buying aftermarket iPhone accessories can be a great solution over buying directly from a manufacturer. Take headphones for example. Standard Apple iPod headphones have no special design or technology features that are unique to Apple. Therefore aftermarket manufactures can build and design the same headphones, and in some cases with improvements, at a significantly lower cost. There are many sellers online that try to pass off low quality accessories like cases, cables, and chargers, as high quality stuff.
If you can find a reputable company, with a proven track record of sales, that has a return policy, then you would be crazy to want to spend 3 to 4 times the price for the same product. I wouldn’t recommend doing this with just any seller or store.
Shop around; be smart with your money. TD Accessory has low prices, which are important, but what’s more important is that they sell quality products. With over 15,000 satisfied customers and a 30-day return policy, they should be your destination for your entire accessory needs.
Why spend $79 at the apple store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3NA&mco=MTA4NTk0MzM, when you can get the same quality for a way lower price and free shipping.
My friends always tell me, I need new headphones but I’m worried about buying aftermarket stuff. This is a typical fear for someone who doesn’t like to take risks, but when you buy from an honest high quality store like TDAccessory.com, the seller will take that risk for you by guaranteeing their products with a 30 day return policy, that’s longer that Apple!
Personally, my favorite part about my iPods (I’ve owned 5) has always been using them in the gym. Through the years I’ve tried every type of accessory in and out of the gym. Having a great playlist of music has made my workouts all more enjoyable and more productive. I’ve found several necessitates for my work outs that I want to share.
The most important accessory you will ever buy yourself for your workouts will undoubtedly be a sports armband case. I didn’t end up buying one of these till my 3rd iPod. They can be quite expensive but worth every penny. (TDAccessory.com has a great one for only $7.99) I used to just try to fit my iPod in my pocket and try to workout without an armband holder. This was a miserable situation. Not only did I look like an idiot but also the wire kept getting in the way of any exercise I tried to do. Running on the treadmill was the worst part; my iPod sometimes bounced out of my pockets and fell on the ground.
An armband holder makes working out really easy. You iPod is securely and comfortable held over your biceps. Anytime you want to change the playlist, stop, or change the volume it’s always accessible through the armband case.
The second thing that changed my gym experience is a pair of in-ear headphones. The standard Apple head phones are great for thing that don’t require movement like sitting on the bus or subway, but when you’re on the move, jogging, running, or doing any sports, it just falls out. I can’t tell you how often my earphones used to fall out. The in-ear headphones I got from TDAccessory.com not only have better sound quality then the regular earphones that came with my iPod, they also stay securely in my ears.
Finally because I do martial arts I use a dock to connect my iPod to any stereo to play music will I train. Whether you do yoga, box, train martial arts, play basketball, tennis, or anything with a group, having a dock to connect your iPod directly to any stereo or sound system makes the workout immeasurably better. Now you can make and change playlists and bring your entire music collection to practice, no more burning cd’s that will waste money and time.
