iPod Repair Sharks – iPod Repair Service Review
Our friends over at Repair Sharks recently released a new video. It discusses the proper technique used in opening either iPod Touch 2nd Generation or the newer 3rd generation iPod Touch or as some call it the 3g iPod Touch. It is one of the most in depth videos we have seen on repairing the iPod Touch 2nd or 3rd Gen. Repair Sharks talks about removal of the front glass, digitizer, and LCD screen on the iPod Touch. iPod Touch battery removal is not discussed as this is not necessary for LCD removal.
Repair Sharks offers full repair services on all generation iPod, iPhone, and are also repairing the Xbox 360 console. I had gotten some work done with these guys a few times and we quickly became friends. I have to give them another shout out as I really found them to be excellent iPod repair technicians. The more recent repair was an iPod battery replacement on my iPod Mini. I had it laying around and it wasn’t working properly because it had some water damage from dropping it in the lake while canoeing with my friends. They have free diagnostics so I sent it in. I have to say both times these guys were very honest with me I felt like they really wanted to help me and not just take my money. Being that I have had a few bad experiences with vendors online in the past I thought these guys could use some support. I gave the mini to my wife for using at the gym so it worked out well and we are very happy.

The New Panasonic LUMIX TZ7 Digital Camera – SBWire
The new Panasonic LUMIX TZ7 has not changed much when it comes to the concept. As for its size; it has shrunk a little, and the design looks neater, less bulgy compared to the TZ5. The largest change is found on the lens. whilst its predecessor featured an already impressive 10x optical zoom, the Panasonic TZ7 even surpasses this with a 12x optical zoom.
Hertfordshire, England– (SBWIRE) — 02/17/2010 — The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 is a brand new entry in the travel-zoom camera category. Sporting a 12x, 25-300mm lens with optical image stabilisation, 3 inch LCD screen, 720p HD movies and 10 megapixels, the Panasonic TZ7 promises to be the ultimate do-it-all pocket camera. available in silver, black, brown, blue and red. Read other information complete with image samples, videos, test shots and more.
The ZS3 / TZ7 is the world’s first digital camera to feature HD video recording in “AVCHD Lite”. Compared with the conventional Motion JPEG format, AVCHD Lite allows longer recordings with breathtaking HD visual and audio quality. this combined with a well-considered control interface, which includes a dedicated movie recording button on the camera’s back panel, makes the ZS3 a hybrid model that performs admirably for both still and motion image capture.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 (also known as the DMC-ZS3 in the USA) is a brand new ultra-compact super-zoom camera, offering several major improvements on its predecessor, the popular TZ5 model.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 is very similar to the previous DMC-TZ5 model in terms of its design. at first glance the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 strikes you as being a little large, elongated and bulky, feeling similar in size to Canon’s series camera.

5th Gen iPod Nano with Video and FM Radio | YugaTech | Philippines …
As the iPod nano is the world’s most popular music player (hitting 100 million units), Apple today bumped up its specs along with some minor upgrades on the iPod Classic, Shuffle and iPod Touch.
The 5th-generation iPod Nano now comes in 9 different colors and gets a video camera and FM tuner to boot (they should have added WiFi too if you asked me).
Still at 8GB and 16GB, the Nano retails at Php8,790 and Php10,490.
The iPod Touch, on the other had, was bumped to 64GB. Apple dropped the 16GB model and retained the 8GB for just Php11,490. the 32GB costs Php17,490 and the 64GB at Php23,490. People were actually expecting that it’s the iPod Touch that will have the video camera.
The iPod Shuffle now comes in various colors aside from black and silver — they’ve got green, blue, pink and a special polished steel version. the 2GB starts at Php3,290 and the 4GB at Php4,390 (special edition costs Php5,490). weird that the 4GB Shuffle got a price increase here.
The upgrade from 120GB to 160GB of the iPod Classic is confusing since Apple already had 80GB/160GB before, dropped it then re-introduced it.
