Denon ASD-3W: iPod Dock

7 comments - Post a comment

I hate iPod owners because of all the accessories they have available to them but this one gets me the most. I've always wanted an easy way to connect my mp3 player to a large stereo system so I could blast it in my home. Denon has come up with a solution only for iPod owners called the Denon ASD-3W for $230 plus wireless and the ASD-3N for $180 which is the wired version. Now don't get confused as I did. Wireless in this case only means it can wirelessly connect to your computer, not the stereo. Either way you need to wire your dock to the stereo using RCA cables. The only benefit of connecting it to your PC is to stream live online radio through your speakers which to me is not worth $50. Both models include a remote and they only support iPod video and Nano. The great thing about the remote is that it will then show controls on the TV instead of the small iPod screen. You can also view pictures and video from your iPod onto your giant TV screen. It overall is still something basic and is not anything spectacular and personally I wouldn't spend $180 on it. A good price range would be $40-$70 but that's just me.

I know this doesn't relate to technology at first but once you kind of get into it, it does have a hint of technology. First it's an automated website where you sign up either as a blogger or advertiser and once your blog is accepted or your advertising account is approved you will be able to take offers from there. They are a creative bunch, whoever run this site because of the way it is set up. It is unlike most paid to post websites, as there aren't many places to go which means they are concentrating on getting advertisers to bloggers and they also make posting as clear as day. The biggest added benefit is the payment process. Within 7 days of writing your blog post, the post will either get approved or rejected and if approved, your payment will arrive via one of the internet's most successful payment processors, PayPal in a matter of weeks. I do recommend Smorty over alot of other paid to post websites because they are a growing website that will make big things in the future.Get paid for blogging at Smorty.
