A lot of iPad users are unaware of ultra portable and iPad-compatible projectors that make watching your 7″ content a much more emmersive experience. Whether you are looking to play games on a bigger screen, watch movies with friends or present to a large audience – an pocketbeams.com lists a projector that will allow you to do all of that almost 200″ from just a tiny iPad or iPad 2 screen.

iPad Projectors for iPad 2

The initial iPad model was not particularly compatible with any projectors. Microvision launched a projector called the SHOWWX that allowed connectivity to the iPad as well as all VGA devices. It was the first of its kind to really be a success in the industry and since then many pocket projectors have followed. Just over a year on from the initial SHOWWX release, the SHOWWX+ HDMI has come to market that allows connectivity to any device with a HDMI socket. And yes, that includes the iPad 2. This iPad projector still has the same ultra small (iPhone sized) shell and was designed largely to work as an iPad 2 projector. With a higher contrast and brighter display than much of its competitors, the SHOWWX+ HDMI is certainly one of the best ‘pico’ projectors around for iPad and iPad 2.

iPad 3 Projector?

If the rumours are true then we may expect to see built in projectors for the iPad 3 and iPhone 5 in 2012. This would dramatically increase the usability of the iPad but it may also wipe out the market for iPad specific projectors.

But forget the rumours. If you are the owner of an iPad or iPad 2 then you should really take a closer look at these iPad projectors – arguably one of the best mobile devices of 2011.

Gold price values from http://www.priceofgold.org.uk have indicated that the price of gold has entered into a prolonged and steep rally.

On Thursday 22nd September 2011, the world stock markets saw the largest fall in value for over 2 years. Continued trouble in the Eurozone has forced unprecedented cautiousness from investors resulting in a major slow down in trade. With Italy looking to be the next to feel the contagion, stock price drops may lead us into a second ‘double-dip’ recession that many financial analysts predicted from the outset.

With stocks plummeting over 6% across the globe, there is little celebration to be had. That is, of course, if you’re not lucky enough to own gold. While the initial panic caused an unexpected fall in the price of gold, an expected lag in investment will soon see the gold price rally to an almost $2,000/ounce level. Gold prices will likely be at an all time high, and record gold prices mean one thing – economic turmoil.

Good luck and God bless!

One thing that isn’t known about financial spread betting is that there are huge bonuses to be had for new depositors. But before I give you the ultimate resource for spread betting bonuses I’d just like to clarify a couple of things:

1. What is Financial Spread Betting?

Trading on the stock market can be tricky – almost always you have to deal with a broker who manages the trade and transaction fees can be quite high. An alternative to actual is to spread bet. Spread betting does not involve the purchase or sale of stocks, shares or commodities, but instead you bet on the price that the market is currently trading at. This is essentially the same as trading, except you don’t have to make any physical transactions.

2. You can lose a lot with Financial Spread Betting

And I mean a lot. Most spread betting platforms, such as the ones featured on spreadbettingoffers.org.uk, are highly responsible and will tell you this on multiple occasions – but just in case they don’t: you can lose more than your initial deposit when spread betting. When spread betting, any bet can turn very sour and if the price falls or rallys to a point that your bankroll has been exhausted, you will be liable to repaying any debt that goes beyond your bankroll (in your spread betting account). Please gamble responsibly as it means that you can end up owing a huge amount of money if you forget to close a trade and the market collapses. Always ensure that you put on a stop loss order when spread betting – this will automatically close the trade when a certain price is reached. Hugely advisable.

Spread Betting Bonus Offers

Did you know you can receive as much as £1,000 back on your initial deposit? Even at low stakes you can expect to either see a small deposit bonus or ‘cashback’ on any of your losses in a certain time period. Spread betting can be really fun when played responsibly, and not only that but you can give yourself a real chance of turning a profit by using spread betting offers or bonuses. Two sites that I have found have summed up the bonuses incredibly well. The sites look identical (apart from the colours) and I think they both have the same spread betting bonuses and offers available but you never know, I’ll let you know them both anyway:

Spread bet with either spread betting offers or bonuses. Your financial spread betting career deserves it!

I’m heavily involved in the stock markets and I’m always looking out for the latest bit of financial news to stimulate a great investment. I mentioned a month ago that the price of gold would keep rising and I wasn’t wrong. The price of gold has been hitting the roof (and then smashing straight through it) time and time again this year and since then I have been inundated with messages about predicting the stock markets.

I’m no stock market expert, I enjoy buying and selling shares on a fairly regular basis but I can’t say I’ve been too great at it. So instead of trying to bullsh*t you guys, I thought I’d let you read a great little resource that will tell you all you need to know about buying and selling shares. SellingShares.org.uk is a great place to go for beginners and it certainly helped me. Come back in a few weeks and I’ll be sure to update you with some sound advice about share dealing!

After listening to the output from Dolby’s new surround sound technology for PCs, it is clear from first impressions that the audio quality is definitely superior to any previous Dolby products. The new tech was demonstrated at CES 2010 where I got a close up look and more importantly a listen to the system. While this system is far better than the sound quality from Dolby’s previous products, the DJ controllers and DJ equipment at udmdj.co.uk has definitely got some better sound gear in store.

From the press release I have aggregated the best aspects of Dolby’s new technology:

- Graphic Equalizer: using top quality digital filtering a user is able to customise their audio to fit their chosen specification.
- Surround Decoder: takes original stereo sound and converts it into 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound
- Volume Maximizer: very little noise surrounding the audio signal no matter how loud the volume is turned up.
- Volume Leveler: volume consistency throughout all audio applications depending on the user’s choice of volume level.
- Audio Regulator: eliminates any distortion that may be caused by over-driven speakers and amplifiers.
- Surround Virtualizer: awesome virtual surround sound experience output from the PC’s built in speakers or attached headphones.
- Dolby Digital Output: allows users to play audio content on their PC from the speakers in their home theatre system thanks to real-time S/PDIF or HDMI™ content encoding.
- Intelligent Equalizer: adjusts audio automatically to become consistent with the user’s preset
- Audio Optimizer: optimises the frequency response of the PC’s speakers to match the intent of the audio creator.
- Dialogue Enhancer: improves intelligibility of dialogue across all types of content.
