On a recent outing to a local orchard, my daughter and I enjoyed a visit and lunch with my Mother-In-Law. The lunch was delicious, the weather was delightful, and the scenery was exquisite. Wanting to capture the beauty of the floral and fauna of the greenhouse where we enjoyed our lunch, I asked my daughter to use my LG enV Touch camera to capture images of the beautiful flowers that surrounded us. The idea was to be able to transfer them to our PC and enjoy and share them with other family members.
After taking and saving the photos to the microSD card, we were immediately able to enjoy the colors and beauty of our surroundings. I was anxious to return home and see the images on my computer monitor and to share them online with family and friends.
I've used the camera on my LG enV Touch before and have been very satisfied with the ease of use, the quality of the photos, and the transfer process. The frequency that I use the camera and transfer the photos is infrequent though, so I thought I'd write the steps down and share them here in this article.
Steps to Move Pictures From Cell Phone to Computer
Before taking a picture, you will want to either change or make sure your camera settings are in place for saving to your external memory card. At the end of this article is a link which provides steps for changing the camera setting to use the external memory.
Following are the steps I took to transfer the photos from the LG enV Touch MicroSD card to my computer.
These instructions assume the following: use of the camera on an LG enV Touch VX11000 cell phone, capturing and saving photos or video on an external memory microSD card, and transferring the photos using a SD adaptor.
Remove the MicroSD card from the lower right hand side of the phone by gently pressing the card in toward the phone. Slide the MicroSD card into the SD card adaptor Place the SD Card adaptor into a SD port or reader whether it be located on a laptop, PC, printer, or standalone external reader Using Microsoft Explorer,locate the external memory card, Mine reads SD Card Double click on the drive name and find your photos or video.

I wanted to let you know about an awesome electric remote control helicopter that is sure to bring a ton of fun for the whole family! See why this product is so unique and different from all other RC toy helicopters, and where to get one on sale and in time for the holidays.
The AR.Drone is an electric RC helicopter equipped with two built-in video cameras and you actually fly it using your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, allowing you to watch the live video feeds coming straight from the helicopter itself. Yes... totally cool!
I recently just saw this toy at Brookstone, which is the only "brick-n-mortar" retailer that sells this product. This remote control helicopter is actually referred to as a "Quadricopter" because it is powered with four motor propellers. The AR.Drone combines many of today's latest technologies, bringing you a fun high-tech toy in the genres of remote control, modeling, video gaming and augmented reality.
While it would seem "challenging" to control and fly, the AR.Drone has several technologies and sensors in place to make the flying experience easy and fun! Since you use your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad device to control it, steering the helicopter is done by simply tilting your device left and right, and then controlling the motion through on-screen buttons. And with the two cameras on-board, you can visually see the live video feed on your Apple device, while you are controlling and flying the Quadricopter.
The AR.Drone works well indoors and outdoors. When flying it inside, it comes with a protective "shield" referred to as a "hull", in case you bump into anything inside the house. In a more open field outdoors, you can take the full hull off. It is powered with a lithium-ion battery that should last about 20 minutes of flying time, so you may want to consider buying an extra battery. And the "remote control" part is actually done through a Wi-Fi connection between your iPhone/Touch/iPad and the AR.Drone.
In addition to just having fun flying the AR.Drone and watching the video feeds, you can also play a variety of games with it, using compatible applications from the iTunes store for the AR.Drone. Not only will the kids love it, but this is definitely a toy that will bring out the kid in everyone.
