Review – SRS iWow! Audio Hardware & Software for Mac OS and iOS

When we attended the MacWorld 2000 Conference in New York one of the products that folks were buzzing about were at a booth that featured (the late lamented) Monsoon Planar speakers that were demonstrating a small translucent blue box called the SRS WOW Thing Box. SRS began in 1985 as a creation of Hughes Aircraft and stood for Sound Retrieval System, and since then it has become the heart of many audio products, often even without your knowledge. To see how the latest version of the technology measured up we looked at the latest version of the SRS iWOW™Premium plug-in for iTunes and the SRS iWOW 3D™ Audio Adaptor for any Apple device that has a dock. The SRS iWOW™Premium plug-in for iTunes and the iWOW 3D™ Audio Adaptor are Mac Edition Radio Audio Picks!

We love tablets, but when you must compose a long email or create a text-heavy document, a screen keyboard isn't always the best solution. A Bluetooth keyboard is often the way to go, and although they can be fragile and must be protected, they allow the user to type efficiently and comfortably. Consider the Logitech Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Apple iPad, a keyboard case that has quickly become one of our favorite products. Well made and practical, we think it‚Äôs a solid choice. Read the full review!
