DLO HomeDock Connects iPod to Your Receiver

By Ian Bell September 25, 2005

The new DLO HomeDock supports the new iPod nano, mini and regular sized iPods. According to DLO, simply dock your iPod and connect the docking station to your boombox, receiver or audio system using regular composite RCA connections. You can control your iPod using the DLO remote control, and the docking station doubles as a charger for your Apple iPod. If you have an iPod photo then you can connect the DLO HomeDock to your television and view pictures in slideshow mode.

“Everyone thinks they know how good their iPod sounds but when they hear their iPod played through high-powered high-fidelity home stereo speakers – they’re usually blown away,” said Andrew Green, VP of Marketing and Design for DLO. “What’s amazing is that most people already have a great stereo system in their home, they’ve just never had a simple convenient way to connect their iPod to it. The HomeDock IS that connection that permanently marries your iPod to your home stereo system. Now your iPod can rock you on the go, in the car AND at home.”

If you simply want to connect your iPod to some powered speakers, you can also use the included RCA-to-Mini jack to do so. Not too bad for a $99 product eh? Apple iPod not included of course.

How to turn a Live Photo into a video on your iPhone

Apple’s Live Photos feature is a great way to add some extra charm to your normal, everyday iPhone pictures. Enabled by default, Live Photos automatically records and integrates the 1.5-second interval before and after you hit the shutter button on your iOS device. The end result is a lightly animated image, which can easily be shared via iMessage or a Shared Photo Album with any friend of family member with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

You’ll also be able to share a static version of any picture captured as a Live Photo. But if you’d like to enchant your Windows and Android device buddies with your moving pics, you’re better off converting that Live Photo into a video or animated GIF. This is also the best way to future-proof your Live Photos against any down-the-line compatibility issues the Live Photo format might face from non-Apple hardware.
