Spotify Review (Video Included)

If you are like me you want music to listen to while you work. But sometimes you don’t have that option if you are on a computer with no music on it. Of course this is always Pandora radio online, but I thought about giving something else a try. After hearing this program mentioned in a tweet from one of my friends and seeing it referenced in some Facebook statues I found the program spotify. This program in a nutshell is an online media player that allows you to search for some of your favorite bands and listen to the music at work or on the go. It’s a free application that is compatible with windows, Linux, Macintosh, android, blackberry, ios, and more. In the video I mentioned that the mobile app wasn’t free, but I have to correct myself. The mobile application is free, but to remove adds from the application does cost money. I apologize for that mix up.....

Review: BudgetGadgets Plastic Grid Hard Case Cover for iPod touch 4G

Today we are going to be taking a look at an iPod touch 4G case send out from BudgetGadgets. Before the review starts, I want to thanks Lilly from BudgetGadgets for sending me this product out for review.

The case is made by plastic and it covers the whole back and the sides. On the back as you can see it has many small holes in order the device not to overheat, and it also gives it a nice new look.

Installation process is super easy all you have to do is place your iPod and push it a bit. Uninstalling is again very easy all you have to do is push one of the edges of the case and take the iPod out.

Now, let's take a look around the case.

The top part of the case gives you full access to the lock button.

The bottom part of the case gives you full access to the speaker, USB import and headphones import.

The left side of the case provides you with a big cutout for the two volume buttons.

The right side of the case covers all the iPod.

In the back of the case you can clearly see that it does have a very nice cutout for the camera and microphone and many small holes in order the iPod not to overheat and to have a nice new look.

Now, let's take a look at the benefits and the cons of the case.

Benefits: It has access to all the buttons, imports and cameras. It feels very solid in the hand. It makes the iPod look very beautiful and it has small holes in order the iPod not to overheat. Also it comes in several fancy colors such as red, purple, pink, light blue B, white, green, peachblow, deep blue, black, orange and yellow. 

Cons: It doesn't have "Lay on the table" design, which means if you leave the iPod facing the surface, the screen will have contact with it and it might get scratched. So I recommend you to buy a screen protector with this case.

Overall I give this case a 9.5/10 because it does have a lot of benefits, an amazing price and only one con. I recommend this case ONLY for minor scratches protection (on the back).

Buy the case for only 1.66$: Case

Thank you all for reading my honest review of this amazing case. If you have any questions related to this article feel free to leave them in the comment section below or mention me on Twitter @OrestGPap.

Tips on How to Free Up Storage on your iOS Devices

Have you ever noticed that your iOS device storage space is filling up fast? Well if you do below will be several tips on how to free up some space.

1. Remove Apps - If you download an app that you used once or twice and believe you may never use them again, then just delete them and that can save you from anywhere 1 MB to all the way up to 1.5 GB.

2. Remove all unwanted music. If you are on a shared computer and many different people in your house have different music on the one computer and you only listen to 1 GB out of 6GB on your computer, then make a playlist for yourself and within your iTunes iOS device setting when you plug it into your computer, select Music at the top bar and uncheck all music and check selected playlists and then select the playlist you just made for yourself.

3. Removed watched movies/videos. If you're a big traveler and have many movies on your iOS device, remove the ones you already watched or unwanted on your iOS device anymore. If you still want to have many movies/videos on your iOS device, you can have them on an external WiFi mobile hard drive that can hold all your movie/video files on it. Here is one that I suggest you look at: http://is.gd/zkk5kO.

4. Empty out your Photos/Camera Roll. If you have a sibling or child that takes pictures that are unwanted, just delete them. Also, don't sync your whole photo libary to your phone; only sync wanted pictures.

If you just do some of those steps listed above, you can easily clear up many MB or even many GB of space on your iOS device.
