New iPod Nano to Bring Back Slim Design?

One possible design for Apple's fourth-generation iPod nano, on the right, as compared to a Microsoft Zune music player.
The next generation of the iPod Nano might be getting a slimmed-down makeover, according to a report.
iLounge believes it has hit on thr design for the fourth-generation iPod Nano, reporting that Apple plans to bring back the thinner iPod Nano design of years past but in a taller package that's a nod to the screen size of today's "fat" iPod Nano. Video would play in landscape mode, borrowing from the landscape viewing mode of iPhone and iPod Touch and delivering a 1.5-to1 aspect ratio.
The fat iPod Nano was a bit controversial when it was first introduced, but people seem to have gotten used to the idea. Last year Apple redesigned its most popular iPod in line with its increased focus on video in the iTunes Store, as the screen size on the early thin iPod Nano was way too small to comfortably watch video.
The new design also reminded iLounge of Microsoft's Zune flash player, although to be fair, that Zune player seemed to remind people of the original iPod Nano design when it was released. In any event, the Zune didn't seem to make much headway in the past year against the fat iPod Nano design.
Apple has held a September iPod event the last several years, and we're pretty sure they'll have another one on tap this year, with a revamped iPod Touch likely to accompany a new iPod Nano. In support of that suspicion, Applelnsider is reporting that resellers have been told to expect shortages of iPods and Macbooks in the coming weeks.

Review: JC Matthews 7" Digital Photo Frame

It's very slick-looking, with its black exterior and white marbled border.
The picture quality appears bright on the 800x480 resolution screen but the pictures do lack some of the crispness of some similar priced frames on the market.
Importantly it has a great field of view allowing you to stand almost anywhere in front of the frame and still see the pictures clearly.
It comes complete with 128MB of on board memory which you can copy your photos onto easily with the supplied USB cable. Otherwise it also comes complete an inbuilt card reader which accepts CF, SD, MMC, XD, MS/MS and USB memory cards/sticks which can be plugged in and used.
On top of displaying photos this digital photo frame can also play accompanying audio (MP3's) or video's (AVI's). The sound quality from the two built-in 1.5W speakers is average which is similar to other similar priced frames and to be expected with such small speakers.
The device can be setup and managed by using the onboard buttons or using a remote control. The setup itself was very easy as all you need to do is plug in the power, slap in a memory card and say go.
Advanced features like setting up the power save function or adjusting the colour are easily found using the remote. The supplied user manual is very logical and easy to follow.
Overall it's a good frame. What it lacks in image quality it makes up for in easy of use and a good field of view.
The JC Matthew's 7-inch photo frame is available at Noel Leeming with a RRP $179.

NETC Announces Its 2008 Results

The Company continues to pursue its strategy of accelerated growth, generating adequate return to support this growth and ensure excellence in the services rendered.
Accordingly, the Company recently launched Net Digital HD Max, the first Pay TV service in Brazil with content in high definition, which can be viewed whenever and however desired. This product contains high definition programming ("HDTV"), combining the convenience of recording desired content through an internal 160GB hard disc, which allows for up to 100 hours of recording. In addition to the Net Digital content, this product offers premium content in high definition, as was the case with the Euro Cup and will be the case with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, in addition to an exclusive channel with non-stop programming in high definition.
The Company also launched the new Net Virtua broadband portfolio, which now offers speeds of 3, 6 and 12 Mbps, thus, reaffirming its leadership in Brazil's high-speed connection segment by offering 12 Mbps to all households covered by its bidirectional network. Since the launch of the "Megaflash" portfolio, Net Virtua was recognized by InfoExame Magazine for the highest average navigation speed and the best cost / benefit ratio in Brazil.
Net Fone.com, a product that combines Virtua, with fast, stable and unlimited internet connection, and Net Fone, the digital voice service and, depending on the region's technical feasibility, excellent quality signal on the free channels through its cable network, achieved the mark of 112,000 clients in the quarter. Of this total, 56% received the free channels' signals through Net's network, and 44% received only the combination of Virtua and Net Fone. Though launched recently, product sales have been brisk, showing clients' appreciation of this new product, which effectively brought a smart alternative in the Brazilian market.
Pay TV subscriber base ended the quarter with 2,709,000 clients, 18% above the same period in the previous year. The Broadband subscriber base reached 1,798,000 clients in 2008, a 61% increase over the 2007, and the number of Voice subscribers climbed 178% over the 2007 to a total of 982,000 clients.
Net Revenue in the quarter was R$ 891.1 million, 27% higher than the R$ 700.9 million in 2007. This growth was driven by the 7% increase in the Average Revenue per User (ARPU), from R$ 125.65 in 2007 to R$ 134.87 in 2Q08, as well as by the 50% increase in the Company's Revenue Generating Units ("RGU").
Operating Costs ended the quarter at R$ 418.9 million, 26% higher than the R$ 333.0 million in 2007. As a percentage of revenues, they fell slightly, from 47.5% in 2007 to 47.0% in 2008. The items that most contributed to the increase were the higher bandwidth consumption for Internet service as a result of the larger NET Virtua client base, higher expenses with call center and personnel, required to meet the growing demand for client service, maintenance and installation, while maintaining the quality of the services provided.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (SG&A) totaled R$ 233.0 million, 7% higher than the R$ 218.4 million in 2007. As a percentage of net revenue, they declined from 31.2% in 2Q07 to 26.1% in 2008. Selling Expenses and General and Administrative Expenses rose 39% and 16%, respectively, over the 2007, offset by the 70% reduction in Other Revenue/Expenses due to the increase in such expenses in 2007, as a result of the accounting reconciliation conducted at Vivax after it was acquired by the Company.
EBITDA in the quarter totaled R$ 231.8 million, and EBITDA margin remained at 26%, 18% more than the R$ 196.5 million in 2007. Even considering the Company increased sales expenses due to a higher number of net additions and high sales of the new product, Net Fone.com, this result remains within the Company's positive range for its accelerated growth strategy, focused on continuous improvement in the quality of services rendered.
