My friend gave me his PDA because he upgraded to some other hi-tech device. But he's wiped off the memory and all that shows is a white screen when turned on. So is it true that I can put my own service on there and how much does service for something like that generally cost?

I know that my car stereo will do this, and I am burning WMA's from Windows Media Player, so I know it will work. I've burned CD's like this before and they don't show up. What's the trick??

Thank you!

I mean simple questions like moving libraries from one computer to another or importing files from a folder other than iTunes.

There also seems to be A LOT of questions pertaining to OS failures and data loss as in "I turn on my iPod and all I get is a big exclamation point! HELP!" or "I turned on my iPod and all my songs are gone! Where did they go!?"

There also seems to be A LOT of questions pertaining to battery failure and a lack of customer support. I've read answers to questions about support that warns that if you send your iPod in to be serviced it will come back wiped clean and you'll have to (I read this a lot) "buy all of your music over again".

Are they really that great?
Why do people continue to buy into this?
Is iPod the Bose of MP3 players or is Bose the iPod of speaker manufacturers?

If someone is using a CDMA phone (such as Verizon or Sprint) to browse the internet or check their e-mail, can you receive a voice call or does it go straight to voice-mail?

I recently moved to my uncle's house, who has DirecTV programming. He's had a Tivo box for a few years and it is simply amazing. The other day I went to Best Buy and purchased a DirecTV-branded DVR (I think it's the R15) because they didn't have any Tivo boxes for DirecTV. After several nights of frustration with the user interface and overall poor design, I have decided to look elsewhere for a new Tivo-branded DVR.

I called DirecTV and they say that I can no longer buy a Tivo-branded DVR for DirecTV programming...at least thru them.

My question is: Can I still buy a Tivo DVR for DirecTV somewhere? Anywhere? And if I could, how easy would it be for me to get rid of my current p.o.s. and set up the Tivo unit?

*And I'm not looking to ebay for this; I've only heard bad things about people selling units that haven't been de-authorized.

In the 2005 MTV Movie awards during the performance of Mariah Carey the audience appeared to be black and white. I believe that there must be a lighting trick that was done to achieve this.

I've seen 1/2 price line rentals for mobile phones at The Link and saw that at specific moments you need to send them your bills and a voucher. Does this really work and
1. What if your stuff gets ' lost' with them.
2. What if your address changes in the mean time.
3. Does anyone have good/bad experiences.

About sending your bills don't this conflict with privacy laws as they can see who you are calling?

The new Nikon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras looks pretty good. I like the focal range of the zoom, but the specs don't indicate if there is a macro setting for close-up shots of spiders, flowers, the hearts of attorneys.
