Slot Music

We've had tapes, records, CD's and DVD's. The next evolution in digital media is Slot Music. Everything has a slot for a micro SD card nowadays. Laptops have a full size slot for use with an adapter, mp3 players, cell phones and even some cameras take micro SD cards. SlotMusic.ORG explains how the media works and is DRM free.

Now is this going to hurt the artists or cause more people to actually buy music since they are free to move it between devices and friends? No more ripping music to a hard drive, trying to get to a wifi hotspot to download a few tunes before a flight or waiting for the album to be released on a file sharing network! PLUS, there is plenty of room on the card for extra content such as lyrics, information about the artist and even a few videos!

Akon, Chris Brown, Daughtery and other artists are participating in this great step forward for freely movable media.

Choosing a wireless provider on a budget.

Okay, so I understand that nowadays we live in a society where we have to have the nicest, shiniest toys. This new attitude also carries into the wireless market.

With four major providers for wireless services to choose from, we have such a large variety of choices for phones, services and extras. AT&T and Verizon have similar pricing plans while Sprint and T-Mobile both share a more budget friendly pricing matrix.

If you want a new phone and are about out of contract with say, T-Mobile or Sprint and have had a great customer service experience and have consistently gotten great signal then why would you want to change to AT&T to get a brand new phone only to spend an extra 30% on your bill?

T-Mobile and AT&T have the wonderful feature of GSM Sim Cards that allow you to buy unlocked phones that are great devices without bumping your monthly bill up significantly.

That's great but what if you need great reception and T-Mobile or Sprint just won't cut it? Well, Verizon and AT&T do offer a larger footprint in rural areas but if you want to use it primarily as a phone then just get the voice package you need.

T-Mobile and Sprint offer more bang for your starting price of $39.99 if you just need voice. Add-ons are also a bit more affordable if you need a Blackberry connection plan or some text messaging to keep in contact with the kids.

While Verizon and AT&T do give you less for your two Jackson bills, the benefit lies in FREE mobile to mobile minutes between other users of Verizon and AT&T. Add-ons are a bit more expensive but the faster data speeds and good customer service off-set the prices.

So, see if budget, customer service or rural coverage are important to you and see what will give you the most satisfaction for your two Jackson's + extras.
