About Crystal

My life is busy and that's the way I like it! I work 9-5 for UOW, Study a bachelor degree part-time. As for my free time after that, I love hanging out with my friends, playing Roller Derby (Yes the hottest sport on wheels!) and playing Softball. I like to Live life like there's no tomorrow, and Dance as if no one's watching!

MicroHD Camcorder Experience on the PC

Flipshare experience on a PC
A auto graphic comes up for flipShare, suggesting it be installed. I do so by using the exe to install. Then computer needs a reboot.

Videos on the camera automatically pop up when application is launched and device is plugged in. Software seems easy to use with some very basic editing tools (movie creator).

Exports simply and easily to Movie Clip format (playable in most media players).

The program (FlipShare) doesn’t appear to have any editing tools for editing the actual clips. However it does have a ‘Movie’ function, which allows the user to string clips together to make a movie then export, or burn to DVD (with some simple DVD authoring options).

The Ultimate iPhone Dock?

At the moment I don’t have a dock for my iPhone, while it is not essential that I have one, I still want one! I have come across some really geeky ones, sleek ones and multifunctional ones.

I just found this one and had to share it.

This one was made entirely from cutlery which is pretty cool, I found it here.

Last year we tried this one in the office, which was not only a holder but a more functional dock charger, speaker and light. Never again.

The product was faulty, we end up sending it back. When they tested similar models and other units they also found them to be faulty. The speakers buzzed at all volumes of sound and there was some red goo inside the light bulb bracket. Suggestion – try it out before you leave the shop!

So for all the iPhone users which docks do you use? Or what ones have you seen that work well?
