Scosche introduces bassDOCK for both iPads

Posted: 12 Feb 2012 04:30 AM PST

Bass is definitely the base line for songs, and even though I am musically deaf and the only kind of keyboard which I am able to ‘play’ with is the computer keyboard, I do appreciate the deep bass tones in songs, especially compositions that have a guitar or two in them as well. Having said that, most of the modern portable devices we own such as notebooks, netbooks, smartphones, portable consoles and tablets do come with built-in speakers, but when it comes to the performance of its bass levels, they are really suspect.

Scosche Industries, the award-winning innovator of consumer technology, intends to remedy the situation by announcing the availability of the new spanking Scosche bassDOCK. This particular speaker dock will cater for iPads from both generations, although I am not quite sure whether Scosche has inside information on the next generation iPad which is said to roll out sometime in early March this year, and will it be forward compatible? Only time will tell.

This particular adjustable speaker dock can tilt and rotate for both landscape and portrait viewing angles, while bringing a 2.1 sound system with 40mm stereo speakers wherever you go in order to deliver smooth mids and brilliant highs. Not only that, Scocsche has also thrown in a 3″ subwoofer that delivers rich and powerful bass. According to Kas Alves, Executive Vice President of Scosche Industries, "The bassDOCK transforms the iPad into a complete entertainment system. It provides the power, sound system and flexibility to make your movies, music and games come alive."

Not only that, bassDOCK users are able to juice up their iPad or iPad 2 as they watch, play games or listen. The dock delivers 10 Watts (2.1 Amps) for the fastest charge possible, and if you are interested, you can pick it up for $149.99. Sure, this is definitely not the most affordable iPad speaker dock at all, but I am quite sure your ears will appreciate those MP3s and movies even more once it is plugged in.

Shutter Huggers are the bee’s knees

Posted: 12 Feb 2012 04:00 AM PST

You know, coaxing a smile out of a person is a skill that all photographers should have, especially more so if you happen to be a professional photographer. After all, there are times when your subjects are having a tiff (a husband and wife’s portrait shots could be held on the day when they were actually going through some difficult moments together), so you might want to reserve some of the wittier comments that you picked up along the years of your trade to introduce a smile into the frame.

As for kids, they too, can be very temperamental, although a frowning kid might eventually end up as an Internet meme, but other than that, capturing their emotions is definitely an art. For folks who have already run out of the supply of silly songs, crazy faces, and fantastic prizes so that kids will glance your way as you shoot an image, here is a product which might just save the day (and your reputation) – the Shutter Huggers!

Just what are Shutter Huggers? Well, their name gives the game away – they are actually custom plush characters which will attach to your camera lens, and are perfect to give children something fun to focus on, resulting in a more relaxed photoshoot as well as more natural portraits. Forget about reaching into your bag of tricks, as the Shutter Hugger on your DSLR ought to be more than enough to help you attract their attention, and there is also no need to say, “Cheese!”

Shutter Hugger Minis too will make adults laugh, especially for those with a penchant for some kid-like fun. Shutter Hugger Minis will attach to smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices easily, allowing you to shoot great photos and video, letting you instantly share them with friends and family since there is no need to sort through the photos as you pick out only the nice ones – all of them will be nice.
