IPhone 3G

Once the 3G iPhone is on the market, iSuppli plans to open one up to figure out the make and model of each component inside, to more exactly determine the cost of the handset. The 3G iPhone is "real" now no more being rumored again. It's been officially announced for the release date. The 3G iPhone is rated at 300 hours of standby time. It will be able to allow 5-6 hours of 3G browsing, 7 hours of video playback and 24 hours of audio playback.

The 3G iPhone is slightly thicker in the middle (12.3mm over 11.6mm before) but thinner on the sides. Apple are hoping to launch in 70 countries this year, with the 8gb going for $199 and the 16gb for $299 both coming in black and white. The 3G iPhone is finally here. I just finished watching the Keynote address through the Apple podcasts, and have made up my opinion on the news. The 3G iPhone is probably one of Apple's most-hyped products ever, after the original iPhone. There have been so many rumors of its launch, that it wouldn't make sense for it not to exist.

IPhone Bluetooth

The iPhone bluetooth functions have careful security management. Users are protected from using bluetooth to exchange files with other users (such files are risky) or accidentally printing or communicating with your computer. The iPhone Bluetooth headset can be used in either ear due to its innovative design. It has up to 5.5 hours of talktime while also achieving up to 72 hours of standby time. The iPhone Bluetooth Headset is one iphone accessory that gives you the full ability to make and receive telephone calls without ever having to pick.

IPhone WiFi

WiFi is still just a bit quicker at 17 seconds to finish That's not to say that they haven't still left the WiFi option in for those that aren't able to get a 3G connection. WiFi and 3G is all you need after you download the app and the new iPhone has got them both. The built-in GPS in the iPhone also figure in as the AOL Radio app uses GPS to tell users the closest radio station..

Cobra 148 GTL CB Radio - Maybe the Best Mobile Rig Ever Made

by CB Radio Guy

The Cobra 148 GTL CB radio has been the mobile rig of choice for all serious CB'ers for more than 30 years.

Historically, the best sets were always the ones manufactured in the Phillipines. I purchased mine in 1978 and was lucky to get one of these little gems. Manufacture of this particular model was halted in the late 1990's, but due to popular demand manufacture has been resumed and they are once again readily available.

Rugged construction has always been a hallmark of all Cobra CB radios, and the 148 is no exception. It can live in the harshest of environments that would quickly destroy lesser makes.

The newer units have remained in their original proven configuration. The only change has been a small cosmetic change that now has the microphone connector located on the front of the set, instead of on the side. This makes for very easy installation. Longer microphone cables are also now standard.

This model offers a total of 120 channels. It has 40 chanels on AM, and a further 80 channels on SSB (Single side band). The SSB channels are split into 40 each on the lower sideband and the upper side band.

Transmitter power output is the maximum allowable by FCC regulation - 4 Watts RF on AM, and 12 Watts RF on SSB.

The configuration is certainly feature rich -
1) Built in SWR meter, and SWR calibration control for the accurate matching to the antenna.
2) Adjustable Dynamike microphone boost control for maximum clarity on transmit.
3) Adjustable RF gain control allows for the optimum setting of the received signal in both strong and weak signal areas.
4) A noise blanking switch to further reduce the amount of received noise.
5) PA switch allows this unit to be used as a public address system with the addition of an external speaker.

There is another reason why this model has proven to be so popular. The casing has a lot of room inside for mods, and there are a range of add-on boards available at radio shops to boost performance. Some are legal, some are not.

If you are looking for a feature-rich, ultra reliable, mobile rig then you can do no better than choosing the Cobra 148 GTL CB Radio.

See our website for full details, as well as a large range of both new and used Cobra 148 GTL CB radios for sale.
