Just finished writing a long review of the Creative ZiiSound D5 on my blog. I'm very happy with it so I thought I'll do a short summary of the review here and share it with you guys

Creative ZiiSound D5 is basically a wireless speaker system to let you play music via Bluetooth connection. Apart from the support of Bluetooth devices, the packaging also includes a Bluetooth transmitter for your iPod/iPhone/iPad. Simply plug the transmitter and it will pair up automatically with the speaker. It only takes a few seconds and you don't need to set-up anything.

The design is very sleek and elegant, as you can see from the photo above. It has a touch panel to control the Volume and for the Bluetooth pairing:

The sound quality is also crisp and clear, which is quite amazing coming from a speaker of that size. The bass is there but don't compare it to a sound system with an indepedent subwoofer. It also has a docking station to charge your iPod/iPhone and an AUX-in audio jack for other devices

I've tested with my iPod Nano+Transmitter and also using the traditional Bluetooth connection with my HTC Touch Pro 2 and LG Chocolate Touch. All of them worked very well and the sound quality was superb.

As wireless as it may sound, you still have to connect it to a power socket unfortunately :D

The size is also portable so you can carry it around to a party if you really want to.

I put it next to my bed now and loving it every single night when I want to throw in some music while I'm lying on the bed. The review unit that I got also came with a small Bluetooth dongle for your PC/Notebook. Just like the iPod transmitter, simply plug it to the USB and off you go.

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      By 31067 · Posted

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
