According to some internet sites the iPhone car kit from TomTom seems to be released in Europe. I’ve immediately ordered two pieces. Pretty cool to have a stable place for the iPhone in the car.
I don’t want to use it for GPS and TomTom on the iPhone. The reason why I’ve purchased it is the capability of easy charching the iPhone in the car and connecting the auxiliary output to my car without searching the needed cables every time.
Waiting for the delivery now…
Edit (6h Nov 2009): Shipping confirmation e-mail from TomTom arrived.
Oh no! This application seems only to work the iPhone 3GS, I definitely need to upgrade my 3G But in some situations it’s recommended not to use this application I guess… haha.
It may happen that the workspace of Adobe bridge gets damaged. In such a case thumbnails on the right corner of the Bridge window will be cut and the preview/metadata etc. windows will no longer be displayed. I’m not sure if this was caused by Bridge, Windows 7 or by myself. Also restarting bridge doesn’t help.
What helps is to reset the workspace. This function is hidden behind a small black triangle on the upper right side of the Bridge window. After clicking “Reset workspace” everything gets fine (see picture).
Don’t ask how long it took until I found this small triangle…
The bigger CF cards and mega pixels of digital photo cameras get, the more you want to have the pictures copied to your notebook/desktop, for sure. After I got my Canon 5D MKII with 21 mega-pixels I really want to have the speed increased it takes to copy pictures to my notebook. With my very old card reader it takes about half an our to copy. Ok, firewire sounds really fast and my notebook has a firewire port, so I decided to get a firewire CF card reader…
So I went to a local photo store and purchased a Hama firewire CF card reader. Back at home I recognized that the firewire cable doesn’t fit into the firewire port of my Dell Latitude notebook. Went to a PC cable store and got a cable from firewire 400 to firewire 800. Fine, everything fits now put Windows 7 did not detect anything on the firewire port.
After searching the Internet I found out that firewire CF card readers need at least 6-pin firewire ports because they need the power supply from the firewire port. If you have a 4 pin port – like me – you can not use firewire CF card readers. Unfortunately I did not get this information from my friendly photo store…
Furthermore firewire doesn’t make sense until you have firewire 800. Theoretically there is no speed between firewire 400 and USB2.0.
As a result I’ll by a new USB2.0 CF card reader for my notebook.
But in some situations it’s recommended not to use this application I guess… haha.
