		<title>Turn Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you own the 3G version of the iPad, you already have the hardware for a first-class GPS navigator. The large touchscreen, built-in GPS, and instant-on capability are just waiting for the ideal turn-by-turn navigation app. ALK Technologies&#8217; CoPilot Live HD North America comes pretty close to fitting the bill for anyone who doesn&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<title>3D at CES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can read elsewhere about the specific 3D devices that will be available this year for watching 3D content in your home. I don&#8217;t want to duplicate that. What I would like to do is give a quick time-line and perhaps ramp back expectations a bit. You can expect to see 3D-compatible televisions (both LCD- [...]]]></description>

		<title>Call Routing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may have three different phone numbers: a home number, an office number, and a mobile number. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great to have a single phone number that could ring all three phones at the same time? Or route your calls at certain hours to one of your phones? Or automatically route your calls to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Refined Color</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Digital photos give us a great deal of control with our image processing. The problem for most of us? We don&#8217;t know how to make the color, contrast, detail, or shadow adjustments that can transform a lackluster snapshot into a professional-quality image. Even if we know how to access the tools in Photoshop, Lightroom, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Want My 3D TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Prototype 3D televisions were a big draw at this year’s CEATEC, with Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, and Mitsubishi pushing hard to build consumer acceptance. So far, there’s no broadcast or disc-based 3D standard, either internationally or domestically in Japan, so any 3D television by necessity would have to be a prototype. The 3D televisions use a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solar Phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though you don’t usually associate Sharp with mobile phones—at least in the U.S.—it turns out that Sharp is the largest mobile phone manufacturer for the Japanese market. At CEATEC, Sharp demonstrated a hybrid mobile phone that uses solar cells to extend the life of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery. For every 10 minutes you expose the [...]]]></description>

		<title>High-Tech Chandelier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Along with the green products that have immediate appeal, CEATEC had its share of green products that had many scratching their heads. LED and OLED light bulbs save energy, and we’ll likely switch over to those technologies, once they become brighter and less expensive. So I guess it was inevitable that someone would create an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Singing Robot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yamaha introduced its Disklavier piano way back in 1986. The Disklavier is a Yamaha piano with a built-in playback and recording system. When playing back the recording, the keys are pressed down, much like a player piano, so you hear essentially the same performance that was recorded on the same or similar piano. Because the [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Oh, Wow Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big fan of the Leica M8.2 digital camera. So for me, the big news for today isn&#8217;t the announcement of the new Apple iPods or the remastered Beatles CDs &#8212; though both of those developments are important. For me, the place to be was the Leica press conference held in New York this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oh, Wow Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s all too easy to become caught up in the numbers. With digital cameras, we fixate on the highest ISO numbers, largest megapixel numbers, and widest zoom numbers. The problem is these specifications don&#8217;t exist in a vacuum. As you increase the ISO and megapixels, you also boost the amount of noise in the image. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Convert MP3 Ringtones to iPhone Ringtones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t have to look far to find free MP3 ringtones on the Internet. They&#8217;re pretty much everywhere &#8212; including here on Beepzoid. The problem for iPhone owners is, how do you convert them for your iPhone? iTunes can convert them for you, though the process is a bit confusing unless you have step-by-step instructions.
