Multimedia Definition

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Multimedia

Multimedia are things you can hear or see : such as texts, books, pictures, music, sounds, CDs, videos, DVDs, Records, Films, and more.

Multimedia available in many formats. On the Internet you will find many of these elements embedded in web pages, and today’s web browsers have support for a number of multimedia formats.

The first Internet browsers had support for text only, and even the text support was limited to a single font in a single color, and little or nothing else.

Then came web browsers with support for colors, fonts and text styles, and the support for pictures was added.

The support for sounds, animations and videos is handled in different ways by different browsers. Some elements can be handled inline, some requires a plug-in and some requires an ActiveX control.

Multimedia elements (like sounds or videos) are stored in media files.

The most common way to discover the media type is to look at the file extension.

When a browser sees the file extensions .htm or .html, it will assume that the file is an HTML page. The .xml extension indicates an XML file, and the .css extension indicates a style sheet.

Picture formats are recognized by extensions like .gif and .jpg.

Multimedia elements also have their own file formats with different extensions.

Planning Travel on the iPad

Posted by: admin  |  Category: Mobile Phone Tools

As a new iPad owner, many of my iPad fantasies involved using the device for entertainment while traveling.
I could see the iPad on an airplane tray table feeding me movies, books and music. I imagined the iPad in Rome, offering me tidbits of Vatican history as I sipped espresso. Downloaded games would squash my boredom while waiting at the Miami airport. In Las Vegas, it could suggest where to eat during a convention.
But I had not thought much about using the iPad as a travel-planning tool until I sat down to book a vacation to Italy. Instead of using a laptop to buy tickets, I decided to try doing it on the iPad.
My goal was to find the cheapest tickets from Tampa or Orlando, Florida, to Rome, for September, and to look at hotel options, car rentals and a guidebook. I decided to download some apps to try, all free except for the guidebook.
I could have done my booking and searching without downloading apps, by connecting directly to travel websites using the iPad 3G’s internet connection. But while some websites look virtually identical on the iPad compared to a conventional computer screen, other sites do not display as well on the iPad. Naturally, apps designed specifically for the device format better, are easier to use, and take advantage of certain features.
Unfortunately, at the time I was planning my trip, many of the big travel sites like Expedia and Travelocity had not yet developed apps specifically for the iPad. As a substitute, I tried using iPhone apps for those sites.
The results were disappointing. Using iPhone apps for Expedia and Travelocity did not display the content at full-screen size, and magnifying it resulted in slightly fuzzy text. Navigating to screens where I could enter my destination, search for airfares and buy tickets was confusing. At one point, the Expedia app offered a phone number for assistance; when I called, I was told to book the trip through the website.
In contrast, an app for Kayak specifically created for the iPad was a joy to use, easy to view and intuitive. As with most flight-booking websites, I was directed immediately to type in airport names and dates and other basic choices. Other details that popped up in boxes on the screen included a map, hotel prices, my search history and “Hot searches from Tampa” with other trips being looked at in my area. I eventually booked a US$714 one-stop round-trip to Rome on Delta.
Many hotel apps – Hilton, HotelsNearMe, HotelPal, HotelsByMe – created for the iPhone work fine on the iPad. They are excellent for on-the-go travelers who want to book a room that night. All have a cool function that asks whether to use the current iPad location to find hotel rooms nearby; they instantly display price and whether there are vacancies on helpful maps. Future hotel reservations also are possible, and again, the interactive map features are wonderful.
Almost all the car rental apps I tried were excellent, too, even though they were apps for iPhone, not iPad. The Hertz, Budget and carrentals.com iPhone apps were easy to search with and user-friendly, displaying photos of cars and prices in both euros and dollars.
At the time I researched my trip, there was little content from traditional travel guidebook publishers designed for iPads. But I did look at a version of Lonely Planet’s 1000 Ultimate Experiences created for the iPad. The 1000 book is not a regular destination guide; rather it is a compendium of places and things for travelers to see and do. While some online commentaries have criticised it for being light on content, I found it to be a fun, gorgeous and inspiring application.
The iPad version also has advantages over a bound book, offering web links and videos. Swiping and flicking through the virtual playing card-deck of locations, I found several Italy-related activities, including a Vespa ride through Rome. Lonely Planet plans to release entire guidebooks for download on the iPad, and I hope there will be a dedicated destination guide to Italy before I leave so I can use it on my iPad, on the plane.
