TechTalk: Gadget questions answers, backing up home movies
Marc takes your questions on shopping for the latest gagdets and discusses a new service that will take your old home movies regardless of the format they’re in and digitize them for you.
The Archos players offer a few things usually not found in other MP3 players (depending on the model), such as:
• Reads many more music, photo and video formats
• Built-in Wi-Fi
• Widescreen display
• Huge hard drives (up to 160GB)
• An optional PVR docking station that lets you record TV shows, movies and sports right onto the unit
Is there a such things as a digital voice recorder that has the ability to directly type into the laptop once connected? The device would need to be Mac compatible.
I like your reviews on various media. You introduced a solar panel holster for ipod touch in a Cineplex gear guide show. Can you give me more details ? Thanks in advance !

Hi Marc….I have a large quantity of printed photographs that I’d like to have professionally scanned onto my computer. Can you help me with some pointers on finding a reputable firm to do this for me?
I have a 3rd generation (8GB) iPod touch, and I was wondering if jail-breaking my iPod is a smart decision or not. Will it damage my iPod? What are the pros and cons?
I have lots of old prints and even 50 year old slides that I would like to put together in a package suitable to give as a gift to each of my children (already did it on a VCR years ago). Given the new technology available, what is the best method I can use to do this?
Please let me know what is difference with the Archos multimedia player compare with the other mp3 player? I am planning to buy on christmas time.
