Greetings Friends,

By any chance are you still using an old CRT monitor? Or are you stuck with a 19″ LCD upgrade which you were never quite happy with? I think it may be time for a change!

The AOC 2434PW 23.6″ Widescreen LCD Monitor could just be the answer you are looking for, and I’m not just saying that because I have one!
This beast is big, glossy and offers HDMI resolution and quality at a great price point.

AOC 2434PW

Upon opening your 2434pw you’ll find the polished aluminum base ready to attach to your 23.6″ glossy screen completing a 3-way adjustable stand.

Once set up and angeled to your liking, you can choose how to drive your widescreen and 2.5 watt built-in speakers. You can settle with the D-Sub and 3.5″ audio jack if need be but with a HDMI cable supplied by AOC, let’s hit up 1080P Full High Definition!

The HDMI is used for both picture and sound and comes with a very tidy cable management system, this means the 2434Pw will be looking the part no matter how many connections you’re running.

AOC 2434PW

The monitor features touch-light controls, including the power on and menu buttons which light up when touched.
In regards to the panel, you are looking at a super fast display; 2ms response time and a dynamic contrast ratio of 60000:1, all available up to a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

To address the issue which some HDMI monitors experience where they are difficult to power on and refuse to go on stand by when connected via HDMI, the AOC 2434PW comes through with flying colours. Once set up under HDMI, the AOC will turn on and off as required and move itself onto stand by when need be.

Winner of the Red Dot Award in 2008 and a massively popular seller in 2009, get your 2434pw for 2010!

Check it out here!

Cheers,

Adam

At Warcom, we don’t want you to think of us as nameless people who just sell you the coolest networking gear around. Instead, we’d love for you to know that even though we sell some of the best modems, routers, and accessories around, we’re still normal people. Well, most of the time, anyway…

That being said, here’s a short look into what makes us tick.

Name and current occupation?
Adam Jones. Sales Manager and Accounts.

Why Warcom?
Challenging, Fun and Fast-paced atmosphere.

What’s your poison?
This varies a lot. At this stage…. Soccer

What’s your claim to fame?
Rove Live House Band 06′!

In your opinion, what is the coolest/most useful piece of tech that Warcom sells?
I’m impressed with these new Ethernet via powerpoint adapters you can get. Belkin have a popular one and Billion have a wireless one coming out soon (keep an eye out!). It basically connects to any powerpoint, from your router. You then plug the other end in where ever you need a connection and you can connect to the router via the powerpack (wirelessly with this Billion!). Crazy stuff!

Do you own an iPhone? What do you think of the device?
No I don’t. Due to peer presure, I will probably have one soon. I personally think they are overrated. Some pretty nice cases available though!

What’s in your recently played list?
Bad Medicine (obviously), The Warcom Theme song. Other than that a bit of Cartel, Quietdrive, SR-71, Dashboard Confessional and Paramore.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
Soccer, Gaming, Stuffing round with cars/bikes, Tunes (Music), Ice-Cream (eating it)

If you could run Warcom for a day, what would you change?
I’d probably change the colour scheme to shade of Green. Otherwise Paul runs a pretty efficient system.

Favourite Warcom employee and why?
This is a sus question. Kinda like choosing a favourite child or something. In any case I’ll go with myself, Adam.

If there was something you’d change about the technology industry today, what would it be?
I’d be after less suppliers and better profit margins, ultimately.

Thanks Adam! If you’ve got any follow-up questions (personally I’d love to know what the Warcom theme song is…), we’d love to hear them in the comments below!

The Linksys SPA9xx Series has been a solid seller for years now, being labelled as an Easy to Use, Reliable Business Series of Phones, especially the SPA942 4 Line Unit.

Cisco, having seen the success of the SPA942, have taken the core functionality of the unit, and improved on it with their new range, which offers something for everyone.

Each of the phones in the SPA5xx Range now offer support for the High Definition codec G.722, which allows your conversations to be crisp and clear as possible.

I will highlight some of the key features of the unit we find to have the Best Features and Best Price Point for Small to Medium Business Use.

Cisco SPA504G 4 Line IP Phone

The New SPA504G IP Phone

This unit at time of writing currently retails for $180.86 Australian Inc. GST at warcom.com.au.

The SPA504G is suited for nearly any business environment, with the ability to have four lines connected, corded and cordless headsets as well as 2 Expansion Panels (headsets and expansion panels purchased separately), where each button allows you to see the status of other lines around the office, or even use them as speed dials or one touch transfers. (Specific Enqipment may be required for all functionality of the Expansion Boards)

With a Backlit, Monochrome Display, the user can:

• See exactly who is calling at any time.
• Choose any name and number from the 100 Entry Phone Directory.
• See records of any Answered, Missed or Dialed Calls.
• Program the phone directly from the unit, without logging into the web interface.

If you would prefer to set up your phone from a computer, the phone has a fully featured Web Interface to allow you to check its status, change any feature and even reset it, just by entering the IP address into an Internet Browser.

The phone also includes a high quality speakerphone, for small conference calls or while waiting for your call to be answered.

The SPA500 Attendant Console

The SPA500 Attendant Console

The SPA5xx Range of Phones are all compatible with the SPA500 Attendant Console, meaning any phone, whether it be the cheapest 1 Line Unit to the Colour Screen, MP3 Playing, Bluetooth Compatible SPA525G.

The Attendant Consoles allow you to One Touch Dial to any Extension or Speed Dial, check the status of other lines around the office (Specific PBX’s required that offer this functionality) with the 3 Colour LED’s on each button.  Each phone can handle up to 2 of these units, and are powered by the same power source from the phone.  No extra power plugs required.

The SPA500 Attendant Console does block the Corded Headset Port on the phones, so please be aware of this before purchasing.

If you have any questions on the range, please feel free to drop us a line at service@warcom.com.au or call us on 1300 WARCOM (927 266)

Introducing the FiiO E1 Earphone Volume Booster Amplifier For iPhone!

The FiiO comes very well packaged in a nice retail box, whilst there’s not a lot inside the box apart from instructions and the warranty info, it certainly makes for a great gift!

Navigation

Moving onto the unit itself..

The inline amp has the options of being able to control your iPhone/iPod using the buttons on the amp itself.

These buttons include the following:

• Increase & decrease volume.
• Play next track.
• Play previous track.
• Play a track.
• Pause a track.

The clip on the back of the unit is pretty good, it’s very strong and should survive being man handled.

Overall, the build quality of E1 is simply superb!

Sound Quality

At firs,t I was really skeptical as to how good this unit would be, but after connecting it to my iPhone and cranking it all the way up I was very gob smacked.

There was a noticeable difference in both sound levels, bass and also mid’s.

Noticeable enough that I made all the boys in the office listen to some tunes and give me their feedback. — They agreed, and gave it a big thumbs up!

I’ve since sent a several of these around to close friends and family have given the unit the thumbs up also.

Summary

For the grand total of $39.95 I’d certainly recommend giving the FiiO E1 a go.

Even for the sheer convenience of not having to take your iPhone/iPod out of your pocket to skip a track makes it great, but if you’re anything like me, you want your music crisp, clean and LOUD, then the FiiO E1 certainly helps do just that!

Cheers!
