SHOW #011 - NERDBOY GADGET: Helio Ocean Preview
PhoneScoop on YouTube.com got to play with Helio's new flagship phone, the Ocean, for about an hour before they took it back. That was just enough time to get a feel for it and record this video.
Okay, this is ANOTHER wish on NerdBoyTV's Christmas List ;-)

SHOW #009 - NERDBOY GADGET: NerdBoyTV loves the Flip Video Ultra
NerdBoyTV is a BIG fan of this little innovative video camcorder.
When my 14-year-old was a baby and toddler, I lugged around a GIGANTIC Hi-8 (remember those) camcorder. I remember videotaping EVERY moment, yawn, and giggle and have about 15 two-hour tapes of her. Then came the three boys and I just lost the energy to pull the big, awkward camcorder out to film anything.
How I wish they had this little gadget back then...
But, I'm making up for lost time quickly. Now, at parties, restaurants, parks, events, or at home, I just click the Flip Video Camcorder on like a digital camera and start recording. The video AND audio are quite impressive considering the size of the unit.
What I like best is that the camera is as easy-to-use as a digital camera...just point and click. You'll find that you're more willing (and ready) to capture everyday events that you'll treasure for a lifetime.
...and isn't that the point of having a camcorder anyway?
PROS:

PROS:
- Easy-to-use (most important) with a fairly intuitive user interface
- Small, compact, and quickly accessible
- Software built into the camera; just plug-and-play
- Can easily upload to YouTube.com
- Proof that even a kid can use it; my 6-year-old uses it all the time!
- Inexpensive and now comes is a variety of nifty colors
CONS:
- Buttons a little awkward for those of us with "stubby" fingers
- USB arm connector is difficult to attach to some computers
- Why even bother with a 30-minute version of this camera? Stick with the 60-minute!

SHOW #002 - Helix for XM Satellite Radio & MP3 Player
Ryan Yee reviews the Helix for XM Radio.
The Ultimate Player for the Ulitmate Music Experience...
With XM Satellite Radio Service, you can receive 160 Live Digital XM Channels with Live XM reception even when not docked (you can walk around the lake and hear satellite radio). Store up to 50 hours of XM Programming (my personnal favorite), and supposedly store your own MP3s and WMA digital music files (however, when I attempted to do this, it totally crashed the system and I had to request a replacement unit). However, I love this little portable device. I'm rediscovering "radio" again!
