Episode 3 - Music video Challenge

Monday 15 February

This week on The Gadget Show Suzi and Jason face one of their coolest challenges ever when they become cutting edge pop video directors. Suzi gets to use a professional crew with the very latest and best professional video making kit in order to make a sexy and stylish promo for British alternative rock band FIGHTSTAR. Jason, meanwhile, gets to work with one of America’s most original and entertaining singer song writers, Hamar Superstar. He takes on the role of director, lighting engineer, cameraman, soundman and editor to make a completely original video using a range of new consumer HD camcorders and editing software. But will his wildly inventive masterpiece – full of comedy gags, helicopter shots and special effects – be a match for Suzi’s glorious super slick production, when they both have to face judgement before two of the British music industry’s top video experts? Thanks to all of these guys who made it all happen.

Quite dissapointed by the smartphone challenge. The Nokia N900 is an excellent new device, and on many online reviews usually beats the HD2 on features/usability (for instance, the physical keyboard of the n900 is very small, yet usually rates above that of the droid due to key design). The Maemo operating system, whilst still in its early stages, handles multitasking brilliantly, and its browsing experience is second to none. It may lack some of the 'nanny-esque' usability features of the iPhone, but as a smartphone _gadget_, nothing on the market currently beats it. The fact it was not even included in the challenge makes it all the more dissapointing.

No mention in the top 5 apps that the photoshop app doesn't have any photo editing software on the Windows Mobile version. Very disappointed as it looked brilliant.

The art of love is largely the art of persistence.

Every one knows that men's life seems to be very expensive, nevertheless people need cash for various things and not every one earns big sums money. So to get quick <a href="http://goodfinance-blog.com/topics/credit-loans">credit loans</a> or just car loan would be a correct way out.
