In response to growing demand for high capacity MP3 players, Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), an international leader in flash memory products, has upgraded its successful T.sonic™ 650 MP3 player, now offering an 8GB version that comes clad in a silky ivory white housing. An attractive combination of slim, compact styling and immense storage capacity at an affordable price, the T.sonic 650 sets a new standard in value.

With its compact dimensions of just 75mm x 31mm x 13mm and feather-light 30g weight (Li-ion battery included), Transcend’s T.sonic 650 is designed to be ultra portable and easy to use. In addition to its eye-catching high-gloss front face design, the versatile T.sonic 650 truly shines with an array of value-added functions, such as its built-in FM radio that can be instantly recorded whenever you hear something you like. Other functions like A-B repeat and variable playback speeds are useful for both students and professionals, allowing convenient one-click review of important class lectures, meetings or foreign language lessons. The T.sonic 650 also has a brilliant dual-color OLED display that can easily be seen from any angle, and in any lighting conditions.

Above all, the T.sonic 650 is a great music player with support for MP3, WMA, WAV, and even WMA-DRM10 subscription music files. With 8GB of storage space, the T.sonic 650 can easily hold up to 2000 songs, which means you can carry your entire music collection with you. When its internal Li-ion battery is fully charged, the T.sonic 650 provides all-day portable entertainment with over 15 hours of continuous music playback*. The slim T.sonic 650 also has seven different equalizer modes to adjust the way music sounds, including a special USER EQ that lets you make manual adjustments and create your own personal music style.

For those that want all the convenience of a compact, feature-rich MP3 player but only have several hundred songs to store, the T.sonic 650 is also available in value-priced 4GB (Onyx Black) and 2GB (Ivory) versions.

Comodo AntiSpam Desktop 2005 is an intuitive, easy-to-use, client-based software product that eliminates spam forever from your computer’s email system. It uses advanced user authentication technology featuring a powerful active-filtering algorithm, to authenticate the sender of each incoming email message. Comodo AntiSpam Desktop works with all current Windows operating systems and supports email programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape or any other POP3 email application. Comodo AntiSpam is guaranteed to eliminate all spam from your computer.

Sender authentication is the Solution:

Comodo Anti Spam uses an anti spam passcode to authenticate senders sending you email. Requests to ‘get-mail’ generated by your email client are intercepted by Comodo AntiSpam Desktop running on your computer. It then gets the mail from the server and authenticates the sender of each message. If the sender of a particular message is already ‘allowed’, the message is immediately passed to your inbox. If the sender of a particular message is already ‘blocked’, the message is either immediately deleted or is stored in the Quarantine Database (QDB) for a prescribed period of time, whichever you choose.

If the sender of a particular message is ‘unknown’, the message is temporarily stored in the Quarantine Database and a special AntiSpam Alert (ASA) message is automatically sent back to the sender. The ASA message includes your passcode in the form of a graphical attachment.

The ASA message asks the sender to reply and type in their antispam passcode in the body of the reply. The idea behind sending the passcode as a graphic is to require a human to read the passcode and then type it in the reply. Since spammers use computers to automate the delivery of bulk junk email, they cannot reply correctly to ASA messages. When an ASA reply is received by Comodo AntiSpam, and the passcode is found to be correct, the original email message is immediately passed to your inbox and an entry is made into your Authentication Database (ADB) ‘allowing’ all subsequent email from that particular sender.

If the AntiSpam Alert reply is found to contain an incorrect passcode, the process is repeated for a configurable number of authentication attempts. If no reply is received, or if an incorrect reply persists, the sender is simply ‘ignored’ and the message is eventually deleted.

If a sender is particularly annoying and appears frequently in your Quarantine Database, that sender’s address – or the sender’s entire domain – can be manually ‘blocked’ using the control buttons available in the QDB viewer. This viewer can also be used to manually ‘allow’ sender addresses or entire domains, if desired.

Simple to Install, Use and Support:

Comodo provides many other features that make AntiSpam Desktop simple to install, use and maintain up-to-date. These features include a plug-and-play installer, a server synchronization capability that allows you to access your email spam-free from any remote Comodo AntiSpam configured computer (as well as providing automatic configuration recovery from system crashes), internet bandwidth optimization settings, authentication for purchase-receipt message senders, newsgroups and distribution lists, and a spam reporting capability. Additionally, Comodo provide free product updates with every download.
