household. These storage mediums are freqquently used for storing and preserving (downloaded) movie and music files. The problem: For playing these files one needed till now the PC and had to be satisfied with a possibly average picture quality or poor sound. Now it is more comfortable: With the MediaPlayer XS one can play movies and photos on the home TV and sound on the Hi-Fi-system. Simply connect any external emory via the USB-interface to the MediaPlayer XS and the MediaPlayer XS to the TV and the AV-content of the hard disk is played back directly on the TV and/or on the Hi-Fi system. Fully independent of PC. The MediaPlayer XS, controlled by remote control, supports all the common AV-formats, is especially small and has an excellent cost-benefit ratio. It is the perfect supplement for external hard disks and USB-sticks.
Advantages: free software, plays most formats Disadvantages: microsoft, is a huge file to download
With the advent of the Internet the whole world suddenly became connected to everywhere. A little after and before (most probably) media formats were developed for computers. These allowed things such as short movies and music to be viewed at home over the Internet with ease. Probably the most famous of these formats has been mp3, which has caused the music industry to re-think how it does business. Also mpeg (a format that allows video as well as sound) has become quire popular and you now get movie trailers over the Internet, this has also been used with the DVD Video format.
Anyway enough of the brief introduction, I am going to talk about the Windows MediaPlayer (version 7 or so?). With all of media content available to you on the Internet which mediaplayer do you choose? This is a good question, there are loads that you ...
Advantages: Sound quality, FM radio and transmitter Disadvantages: Photo ability, small memory
Netac are a fairly new name to the UK. Hailing from China, they have produced an interesting variation on the mediaplayer theme ready for the newly relaxed rules in the UK regarding FM transmitters.
Until recently it was illegal to use devices that transmit FM such as iPod addons that allow you to pick up its output via your car FM radio. Netac have combined an MP3 player, FM radio, video player, eBook reader, photo album and recorder in to a tiny form factor not much bigger than a box of matches and then added in an FM transmitter for good measure.
Setting it Up
I was initially flummoxed by Netac's own instructions which advise a trip to their web site to download the drivers and software needed to use the A200. The web site only had the video conversion tool, no sign of anything for downloading music or images. After some ...
Advantages: Nice fragrance, long lasting Disadvantages: Good value for money
I have just come back from a few days away in Jersey. While I was there, I thought I'd take a look at the duty free fragrances at a perfumerie shop in St. Helier. Initially, the choice seemed truly mind-boggling and I didn't know where to start, but with the help of a kind shop assistant, I eventually found some fragrances I liked. One of these was Black XS Eau de Toilette by Paco Rabanne. It came in a box also containing a tube of Black XS shower gel and was very modestly priced at just £21.00 (UK price approx. £38.00). This seemed like an absolute bargain and although I am not a regular buyer of such products, I was very keen to try the fragrances for myself.
Today I shall be reviewing Black XS Eau de Toilette spray (shown above), which, incidentally, is available in for women as well as men. You can buy it in two sizes - 50ml ...

Manufacturer's product description
External USB hard drives are a common PC accessory in every household. A lot of these drives are used to store (downloaded) movies and music on. Problem is - every time you want to look at a movie from this hard drive you need to go behind your PC or notebook to watch it. Not the ideal screen to watch a movie on. It would be so much better to be able to watch this movie sitting on your couch, looking at your TV screen in your living-room. Freecom makes it all possible, with the MediaPlayer XS. Simply connect your USB hard drive (no matter which brand!) to the MediaPlayer XS, connect the MediaPlayer XS to your TV, and you're ready to watch movies directly from your hard drive, without the use of a PC, in the comfort of your own living room! The remote-controlled MediaPlayer XS supports all common AV file formats, is conveniently small and very cost effective! The perfect upgrade for your USB hard drive. Of course the concept also works with other USB devices such as a USB stick.
