iTunes is a very popular application developed by Apple and it acts as an excellent tool to sync the multimedia files stored on a PC’s local hard disk drive. The iTunes online store is even more exciting as it hosts huge multimedia libraries containing millions of downloadable multimedia files. However, initially the whole iTunes tools and applications were developed specifically, and exclusively, for iPod owners. This lead other non-iPod owning music enthusiasts deprived of the multimedia treasure lying inside the iTunes world.

To resolve this issue, Apple has recently removed the bar off the iTunes domain and opened up the door to digital entertainment for all the aspiring fans of iTunes. Now the iTunes conent can be downloaded by anyone for any MP3 or PMP player, like the Archos 7 Internet Media Tablet, for example. Apple has recently signed a deal to sell music without the copyright protection software that had prevented fans from sharing songs bought from iTunes but the company will continue to use its proprietary file formats that may not be supported by some music players. But still, most of the MP3 player’s owners will benefit from this service. Along with the iTunes update the company has also announced that it is revising the price of the iTunes stuff.

The iPod needs no introduction. They are one of the masterpieces created by Apple to offer mobile high quality audio, video streaming, photo browsing and sophisticated game play. Apple iPods come in many different models. One of the most adored members of the iPod family is the iPod Touch that sports a high resolution 3.5 inch multi-touch display, stunning aesthetics and of course the ability to run apps downloaded from the Apple App store.

Now a newer version of iPod Touch is expected to hit the market in the 2009 fall. It will be a large Apple iPod Touch sporting a much bigger display. Although it’s like a rumour till now but according to the buzz that has been created regarding large iPod Touch handhelds the Apple is keenly interested in the new version and is looking to start with initial development. The so called Large iPod Touch is believed to have around 9 inches of display, which is really great. It will make photo browsing, movie playback and touch gaming more exciting and pleasurable.

Like the current iPod Touch the large one is also expected to have an ultra-slim form factor and mesmerising stainless steel back. Besides this it will feature all the standard functions and applications such as accelerometer, multi-touch display, iTunes etc. However, a bigger screen will also add big figures to the price tag.

Up until now the two most popular handheld consoles are undoubtedly the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. The PSP is very popular around the globe, though it has seen a recent slump in gaming titles, and trails the DS Lite in terms of sales. In its weakened state the PSP has even been challenged by the Apple iPhone, and iPod touch, which could threaten to overtake it. Apple is putting extra emphasis on turning these two handhelds, one a phone and the other an MP3 player, in viable gaming platforms.

A new and aspiring gamer looking for a handheld console can easily get confused while making a choice between iPhone and PSP. It’s really hard to compare them as both of them offer spectacular gaming on the go. The only factor which can help is individual’s taste and preferences. Both the PSP and iPhone, and Apple iPod touch as well of course, render awesome graphics and quality sound. Apart from this both the consoles have a number of games released for them and both the devices can be used to enjoy and store multimedia. The only differentiating factors are the other functions offered by these two handhelds, controls and the cost.

If you want to make and receive the calls, apart from gaming, then naturally the iPhone is a good device to have. However this involves lots of monthly expenditure in the form of mobile subscription plan. Apart from this the iPhone’s cost itself is much more than the PSP. So if you are no interested in making calls then definitely go for PlayStation Portable. Besides this the PSP is a console that is optimized for gaming only. So ergonomically, it’s more comfortable to pay games on it instead of playing on the iPhone. PSP offers D-pad, four action buttons and joystick. However, it does not offer touch screen gaming like the iPhone.

The RND warns that users of iPods and MP3 players are constantly at risk of permanently losing their hearing by listening to loud music all the time. The Royal National Institute for Deaf or the RND conducted a survey and found that most users listened to music at very loud levels, which is dangerous.

RND says that in fact, at least two thirds of the people who listen to music on these devices, do so at levels that are sure to eventually make them deaf.

A warning has been issued by this charity that volume has to be turned down by people if they do not want to permanently damage their hearing faculty. An alarming rate of 66 percent of users out of the 246 shoppers on whom the check was conducted, kept their volumes on the players at levels above 85 decibels which is very harmful to their hearing.

There is a warning against listening to such loud music at these levels from the World Health Organization too. According to them, such loud music can damage hearing permanently.

The recommended daily limit for listening to music in high volume is four hours. Survey showed that more than fifty four percent of users listened to loud music for more than the recommended time limit.

According to RND’s Emma Harrison, people all over the country listen to very high volume music on their MP3 players; most of them even over 100 decibels. This noise level equals sound generated by a pneumatic drill located ten feet away from you. So unless you know for sure you’re listening to your MP3 player at a safe level, it might be better to plug your MP3 player into a speaker system like the Panasonic SC-PT467. An alarming fact that showed up during the survey includes listening to music at 118 decibels by a user for at least one hour a day. This is the kind of volume which the ears should not be exposed to for more than even fourteen seconds in a day.
