In this episode of the Apple Universe Podcast, Daniel reviews 2 great products:
Beats by Dr. Dre produced by Monster:
The good: The Beats by Dr. Dre headphones offer a stylish and comfortable design as well as crisp audio. Sound quality is balanced, with a great thumping bass. Included are a nice carrying case and all cables, and adapters.
The bad: The Monster Beats by Dr. Dre headphones cannot be used without batteries. Glossy black design is very smudge-prone. Right ear-cup rattles occasionally while you walk.
Daniel’s rating: 4.5 out of 5
Purchase: Apple | Best Buy | Amazon | Monster
CORRECTION: I apologize for mistaking Dr. Dre and 2Pac during the show.
The US $259.99 package includes the small (3.5″ x 6.4″ x 1.6″) scanner, a CD-ROM with Mac and Windows versions of CardScan’s contact management software, and a USB cable. What? No power brick? Nope — it’s bus-powered so you can eliminate one more power plug. The scanner worked fine for me plugged into a USB 2.0 hub.
If you handle a lot of business cards in your daily life, CardScan Executive for Mac is a must-have. It speeds up entry of business card data into your electronic systems and works very welll for a first Mac release.
