Why you should listen

Which cell phone to choose? What software to buy? Are camera-binoculars a necessity or novelty? As release cycles shorten and ever-shrinking gadgets hit the market with dizzying speed, it's harder and harder to know what's worth the investment. A tireless explorer of everyday technology, David Pogue investigates all the options so we don't have to.

After happily weathering installation nightmares, customer service hiccups, and an overwhelming crush of backups, upgrades and downloads, Pogue reports back with his recommendations via his many columns, TV appearances and how-to books. And he does it all with relatable insight, humor and an unsinkable sense of pun, er, fun. All that, and he sings, too.

4000
♫ keshtu une hap dyqanin iTunes ♫
00:36
♫ And soon I am feelin' all right ♫

3000
♫ dhe se shpejti une nis te ndihem mire ♫
00:42
♫ I know Steve Jobs can find me a melody ♫
9
30000
3000
♫ e di se Steve Jobs do te me gjeje nje kenge ♫
00:45
♫ With one dollar pricing that rocks ♫
10
33000
3000
♫ qe kushton vetem nje dollar ♫
00:48
♫ I can type in the track and get album names back ♫
11
36000
4000
♫ une mund te shkruaj titullin e kenges
qe te shoh pastaj titullin e albumit ♫
00:52
♫ While still in my PJs and socks ♫
12
40000
3000
♫ teksa jam ende veshur me pizhama ♫
00:58
♫ Sell us a song, you're the music man ♫
13
46000
3000
♫ Na shit nje kenge, ti je njeriu i muzikes ♫
01:01
♫ My iPod's still got 10 gigs to go ♫
14
49000
3000
♫ sepse iPod-i im ka ende 10 giga te lira ♫
01:04
♫ Yes, we might prefer more compatibility ♫
15
52000
3000
♫ po, do na pelqente te kishim me pajtueshmeri ♫
01:07
♫ But Steve likes to run the whole show ♫
16
55000
3000
♫ por eshte Steve ai qe i pelqen te drejtoje spektaklin ♫
01:13
♫ I heard "Desperate Housewives" was great last night ♫
17
61000
3000
♫ degjova se "Shtepiaket e deshperuara"
ishte shume i bukur mbreme, ♫
01:16
♫ But I had a bad piece of cod ♫
18
64000
3000
♫ por une po haja nje merluc te prishur ♫
01:19
♫ As I threw up my meal, I thought, "It's no big deal" ♫
19
67000
4000
♫ teksa nxirrja dreken, mendova
"Nuk eshte ndonje problem i madh"♫
01:23
♫ I'll watch it tonight on my 'Pod ♫
20
71000
3000
♫ do ta shoh sonte ne iPod-in tim ♫

01:31
♫ Two bucks a show without ads ♫
22
79000
3000
♫ me dy dollare per seri pa reklama ♫
01:34
♫ It's a business those guys always wanted to try ♫
23
82000
3000
♫ eshte biznes qe ata kishin dashur
gjithnje ta provonin ♫
01:37
♫ But only Steve Jobs had the 'nads ♫
24
85000
3000
♫ por vetem Steve Jobs gjeti kurajen ♫
01:42
♫ They say we're young, don't watch TV ♫
25
90000
4000
♫ ata thone se jemi te rinj, nuk shohim televizor ♫
01:46
♫ They say the Internet is all we see ♫
26
94000
4000
♫ thone se interneti eshte gjithcka qe ndjekim ♫
01:52
♫ But that's not true; they've got it wrong ♫
27
100000
3000
♫ por kjo nuk eshte e vertete,
e kane kuptuar gabim ♫
01:55
♫ See, all our shows are just two minutes long ♫
28
103000
