The Zune HD is a very nice media player and better looking then the iPod Touch. On Wednesday I took a little day trip to the US to look at the iPad and do some shopping. The Canadian dollar is at par with the US dollar and makes it worth the trip. Holding the iPad in my hands and playing with it I now realize I want one. The iPad was a very neat size and surfing the web would be easy while watching TV. The unit is very light weight and has one of the nicest displays I have seen. With my temptation to buy an iPad I decided to leave the Apple store. Went over to Wal-Mart and was looking around the electronics when I spotted the Microsoft Zune HD media player. The unit has a very sexy look and the designers did a great job on the Zune HD. Since we do not have this Zune model in Canada I decided to buy one.
The price was a little high I could have bought an iPod Touch, but the Zune HD had 16G compared to the iPod with only 8G. With my cell phone contract up soon I might get an iPhone which would be kind of silly to have both a Touch and iPhone. The Zune HD fit my needs as a MP3 player and video player. It’s also nice to be able to surf the web and get a few apps. Now the apps are where the iPod wins, but I know that Zune HD would not have many apps and I was alright with that. As a music player the sound is crisp and clear a real pleasure to listen and hooked up to the car I can hear the difference a good MP3 makes.
As soon as I got the Zune HD out of the box I was busy adding music videos and podcasts. The Wi-Fi also worked very well I got a signal from a good distance. The web browser built in works very well and I was able to view all my favourite sites with ease. The only trouble was typing with the touch screen. The trick was to flip the Zune and type in the other position the keyboard was much more responsive.
One problem I has was getting my own movies into the Zune HD it seems the unit want to convert my files to play on Zune and it take forever for the file to convert. That made me give up trying to use my own files. The best way to get free videos was to download video podcasts. Many podcasts now film in HD and the programs look very sharp on the Zune HD screen.
Now if I were to recommend the Zune HD I would say it’s a great media player. If you are looking for apps and want more of a small computer then the iPod Touch ore iPhone are better choices. As for what the Zune HD can do it does it very well. The next trip I take will be a real test for what I can do with the browser. If you buy the Zune HD you might also want the HD docking station to connect the player to an HDTV.
Now I just need to wait for the iPad and my gadget buying crave will be over for awhile.

Last week I was hit with stomach flu and it really killed my productivity. The last thing on my mind was making money. The flu took my energy and I could not get anything done. The only things that I did was sleep or play a few video games. Even games were no fun with the flu taking all my energy. After about two days of being hit by the nasty little bug I felt a little better.

The flu went away, but I was not feeling very motivated. With no interest in getting anything productive done, I just took a few days off. That was a mistake because I got addicted to the game Peggle it’s a fun little puzzle game that you can download online. It was a mistake to install it on my laptop and instead of getting back to business I was trying to beat my high score. Well after working hard for so long I figured I was allowed a little fun.
It’s tough to get back to work, but I have too many projects to complete. Slowly I will get back to work and should be back to my normal schedule by the end of the week. Now just one more quick game of Peggle and it’s back to work.

The easiest way to send and receive faxes is with a fax service. When you fax from your own machine you have two options. You need to buy a fax machine and either share the line with your main home phone or get a dedicated phone line. If you share the line then there is always the chance that you miss the fax or that someone will call when you’re faxing. This is a real pain I have had that happen to me and I had to call the company I was faxing to see if they had the whole document that I was faxing. You can also use a computer modem with fax feature to fax from the computer, but again you need to share your phone line. If you get a second line then it’s going to cost a lot just to be able to fax. The best way is to have an online service that does not depend on your phone line. These services can be paid for as you go or on a monthly plan. You can send and receive faxes and its all handles through the online companies phone lines. When you sign up for the account they provided you with either software that you install on your computer or a web page that you sign into. Once you are set up all you need is a printer with a built in scanner and you are ready to go. One service that works very well for online faxing is Metro Fax they offer a trail account and you can send a few test faxes to see how the service works. If you send out a few faxes a month these online service are a must for a business owner.
