Motorola DC800 Bluetooth Stereo Gateway and S9-HD Bluetooth Headphone

Motorola DC800 Bluetooth Stereo Gateway and S9-HD Bluetooth Headphone

Motorola Bluetooth Home Stereo Transceiver by streaming music to your the Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, the Bluetooth Home Stereo Adapter turns audio devices such as home stereos and MP3 players into wireless music systems. Just plug the DC800 into your home stereo or MP3 player with an included RCA cable or 3.5mm cable and you are ready to go. You can even hook up to your RCA capable TV!

The Motorola MOTOROKR™ S9-HD Stereo Headset delivers style, performance, and remarkable sound for your iPhone, iPod, or other stereo-capable Bluetooth device. This lightweight headset lets you make hands-free calls and wirelessly listen to music, and it features noise-isolating ear buds, so you’ll get high-definition surround sound for all of your calls and tracks.

The Motorola DC800 Bluetooth Stereo Gateway and S9-HD Bluetooth Headphone are excellent products and works amazingly great in combination. The best part that I love is: zero setup. Now, I can watch the TV, without disturbing my wife. But, I use it mainly with my computer to listen to video lectures, watch YouTube, etc. The reason, I don’t use the Motorola Headphone directly with the laptop is, that, it is tiresome to pair it with my laptop. Also for long lectures, if I pause it in between, and want to put my headphone on charge, I can’t switch the audio playback device, without reloading the online flash videos. Now, I can just sit on my bean bag, and enjoy the videos, no messy long cables, superb audio quality, no background noise.

BTW! Motorola DC800 Bluetooth Stereo Gateway can be used as a Bluetooth receiver also, to extend the wireless audio range.

WARNING: Don’t buy Motorola S9 HD, from eBay. All the Chinese version, or as they call themselves original OEM editions are complete waste of money.

Stuff’s that I love: Nook Color

Nook Color:

The Nook Color has a 7-inch 1024×600 resolution multi-touch touchscreen LCD display. The Nook Color uses a Texas Instruments ARM Cortex-A8 processor running at 800 MHz. The device has 8 GB of internal memory supplied by Sandisk, but only 5GB is user-accessible and can store an estimated 6,000 books or 100 hours of audio. As with the original Nook, microSD and microSDHC memory cards can be inserted to expand the Nook Color’s memory up to 32 GB. Unlike the prior Nook, the Nook Color’s rechargeable battery is not user-replaceable and is expected to last for 8 hours of continuous use with the wireless turned off. The device includes a built-in speaker and a universal 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack. VividView technology is used to enhance image quality when viewing in direct sunlight.

In addition to rooting the stock operating system, complete versions of Android are available that can fully replace the firmware and provide functionality similar to any other Android device. Perhaps the most popular such replacement is CyanogenMod 7. CyanogenMod is a community-developed firmware replacement that can be downloaded for free. It can be installed to the internal storage or started via a microSD card, which typically will not affect the internal installation. Neither replacing the stock operating system nor running the operating system from a microSD card requires rooting.

With CyanogenMod 7, VividView technology multi-touch touchscreen LCD, 8+ hrs of battery life, WiFi, expandable memory up to 32 GB, millions of android apps like: Swype keyboard, ezPDFReader, Google apps, Dolphin Browser, Read It Later, Loquendo TTS Voice, Launcher Pro, DocumentsToGo, RealCalc, PowerAMP, Talking Clipboard, Screen Filter, etc. it makes an completely indispensable part of your life.

It’s amazing, my whole reading experience of reading books, news, emails, etc is redefined now. I am loving it.
