In January 2007, Apple reported record quarterly revenue of US$7.1 billion, of which 48% was made from iPod sales.[99][failed verification] On April 9, 2007, it was announced that Apple had sold its one-hundred millionth iPod, making it the best-selling digital music player of all time. Its second-quarter revenue of US$5.2 billion, of which 32% was made from iPod sales.[100] Apple and several industry analysts suggest that iPod users are likely to purchase other Apple products such as Mac computers.[101] 42% of Apple's revenue for the First fiscal quarter of 2008 came from iPod sales (followed by 21% from notebook sales and 16% from desktop sales).[102]
Some of the iPod's chief competitors during its pinnacle include Creative's Zen, SanDisk's Sansa, Sony's Walkman, iriver, and Samsung's Yepp.[114] The iPod's dominance was challenged numerous times: in 2004 Sony's first hard disk Walkman was designed to take on the iPod, accompanied by its own music store Sony Connect;[115][116] Microsoft initially attempted to compete using a software platform called Portable Media Center, and in later years designed the Zune line;[117][118] the most vocal rival was Creative,[119] whose CEO in November 2004 "declared war" on the iPod.[120] Samsung declared that they would take the top spot from Apple by 2007,[121] while SanDisk ran a specific anti-iPod marketing campaign called iDon't.[122][123] These competitors failed to make major dents, and Apple remained dominant in the fast-growing digital audio player market during the decade.[124] Mobile phone manufacturers Nokia and Sony Ericsson also made "music phones" to rival iPod.[125]

iPods have won several awards ranging from engineering excellence,[128][failed verification] to most innovative audio product,[129] to fourth-best computer product of 2006.[130] iPods often receive favorable reviews; scoring on looks, clean design, and ease of use. PC World wrote that iPod line has "altered the landscape for portable audio players".[129] Several industries are modifying their products to work better with both the iPod line and the AAC audio format. Examples include CD copy-protection schemes,[131] and mobile phones, such as phones from Sony Ericsson and Nokia, which play AAC files rather than WMA.
Zune is a discontinued line of digital media products and services marketed by Microsoft from November 2006 until its discontinuation in June 2012. Zune consisted of a line of portable media players, digital media player software for Windows PCs, a music subscription service known as a "Zune Music Pass", music and video streaming services for the Xbox 360 game console via the Zune Software, music, TV and movie sales, and desktop sync software for Windows Phone. Zune was also the provider of music streaming for United Airlines in-flight, after a partnership in 2010.
The first-generation Zune device was created by Microsoft in close cooperation with Toshiba, which took the design of the Gigabeat S and redeveloped it under the name Toshiba 1089 as registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) starting in 2006.[11] Xbox 360 overseer J Allard ran the project, codenamed "Argo", staffed with Xbox and MSN Music Store developers[12] who worked on "Alexandria", finalized as Zune Marketplace.[13] Both products were later united under the Zune brand name in the U.S. market. While some features were praised, the initial Zune has been regarded with derision and jokes for its bulky size and brown color, with CNET regarding it at best as a "high-profile underdog alternative to Apple's iPod" where other Windows Media MP3 players from Creative, iriver, and Samsung had not succeeded.[14][15]
All Windows Phone devices include capacitive multi-touch screens, FM radios, Wi-Fi, and certain other features included on the Zune HD. The user interface of the Zune devices, particularly the Zune HD, served as the inspiration for the user interface of Windows Phone. Microsoft refers to the design language of this user interface as Metro and continued to use it in their products moving forward from Zune HD. (Products with elements of Metro: Microsoft Band & Band 2, KIN, WP7, WP8, Windows 8, W10M, Windows 10, Xbox 360, Xbox One and S/X, and Xbox Series S/X.)
Business consultant Simon Sinek discusses the Zune in his 2019 book The Infinite Game, describing the Zune as a triumph of design but a failure of long-term strategic thinking. Microsoft was focused on beating Apple's portable music player, while Apple was behind the scenes focused on the iPhone that was introduced a year after the Zune's debut and, to a large extent, rendered obsolete handheld MP3 players by popularizing smart phones.[101]

Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB) software provides advanced selection assistance and a graphical interface for designing systems. Those systems can include products communicating over networks like Ethernet/IP and subsystems that have components sharing a common backplane like PLCs. You can add I/O, networks, drives, on-machine cabling and wiring, motion control, and other devices to your system. Download Integrated Architecture Builder from the Product Selection Toolbox executable file or the mobile app.
In addition to the specific recommendations contained in this guidance, manufacturers are encouraged to address cybersecurity throughout the product lifecycle, including during the design, development, production, distribution, deployment and maintenance of the device.The recommendations are intended to supplement these guidance documents:
Blackmagic Video Assist is so versatile it can be used for hundreds of tasks! Add it onto your camera rig to get a large screen viewfinder with modern record codecs, focus assist features and 3D LUTS! Video Assist is also an ultra portable scope that lets you test equipment in broadcast and live production to ensure your video levels are correct and all your gear is working correctly. If you're doing live production then Video Assist is just like a large screen HyperDeck so it can be used as a mastering recorder, or as a clip player for inserting ads or promos into live programs. You can even use it as an ISO recorder with each camera having a dedicated monitor and recorder!
Traditional cameras are designed for shoulder mounted operation, so are a compromise. Hours spent leaning into a viewfinder for long tripod mounted shoots can be tough! Video Assist will transform your shooting style with an on-board rigged screen. It's much more comfortable using a screen rigged to a position best suited for a shooting setup. Plus you get better situational awareness for the operator, assistant or director. With both 5" and 7" models, you choose the size of a rigged monitor that suits you best. Plus you're also adding fantastic features such as focus zoom, focus peaking, zebras, histogram, false color, scopes, frame markers, frame guides, touchscreen and more!
Blackmagic RAW is a revolutionary format designed to capture the quality of sensor data from cameras. Video Assist supports Blackmagic RAW recording from Leica, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Nikon, Canon and Sigma cameras. Popular camera formats such as H.264 are highly compressed resulting in noise and processing artifacts. Blackmagic RAW eliminates these problems so you get incredible detail and color throughout the production pipeline from camera to edit, color and mastering. It also saves camera settings in metadata so you can set ISO, white balance and exposure, then override them later while editing. Only Blackmagic RAW gives you the highest quality, smallest files and fastest performance!

Portable lighting includes a wide variety of luminaires used in residential and consumer environments, along with commercial and industrial applications such as construction area work lights, or shop lights and hand lights used in garages. Most portable luminaires are free standing but there are also surface mounted designs that can serve cabinet, undercabinet and chain-hung pendant applications. The key defining feature for a portable luminaire is the flexible cord and plug supply connection, allowing for easy relocation as the space illumination needs change.
Most portable luminaires are evaluated for compliance with UL 153, the Standards for Portable Luminaires,or by IEC 60598-1 and -2-4. For North America, UL Solutions has a very streamlined evaluation and documentation program that requires only limited testing at a UL Solutions testing facility. This helps deliver speed to market and flexibility in making design modifications for manufacturers to meet their customer preferences. The scope of UL 153 has also been expanded to include flashlights that are not covered by the more industrial tool-type flashlights of UL 1576, providing a simplified safety evaluation for consumer-oriented handheld products containing rechargeable lithium batteries. 2ff7e9595c
