The newest refresh to the Kindle line is sleeker and slimmer with a better VGP-BPS13 screen and more wireless options. Amazon's latest refresh of its popular Kindle eBook VGP-BPS13A/Q reader is leaner, meaner, and now less than $200. For just $189, the Kindle 3G offers improved battery life, display technology, and can connect over Wi-Fi as well as 3G. In almost every way, the Kindle 3G is an improvement over the previous generation, VGP-BPS13A/B with a few minor exceptions. Regardless, bookworms will find the Kindle 3G to be one of the best eReaders on the market. Design In making the unit thinner, it looks like Amazon had to shuffle some internal VGP-BPS13A/S components around. Now the On/Sleep/Off slider is on the bottom--less convenient, but only a minor annoyance--along with the microUSB VGP-BPS13/Q port, headphone jack, and volume toggle. The buttons on the sides and lower portion of the device's face are more streamlined and, in some cases, smaller. The page turn buttons are one of the more obvious changes, being only 0.16 inches thick instead of the 0.4-inch thickness VGP-BPS9 on the Kindle 2. We had feared that the narrower buttons would affect ease of use, but all four are easy to press, yet firm, making for good feedback VGP-BPS8 and a sturdy feel. There are now both Next and Previous Page buttons on both sides, so both left and right-handed readers can use their dominant VGP-BPS9A/B hand. Plus, the Next Page buttons remain the same length as before, allowing users to rest their thumbs comfortably on them no matter what size hand they have. We had no trouble keeping our thumb in place and our eyes on the display VGP-BPS9/B as we read. The joystick of Kindles past has been replaced with a directional pad that sits VGP-BPS9/S next to the keyboard instead of under the page turn buttons on the right side. We're not fans of this change, as the arrow keys here are very narrow, VGP-BPS8A and occasionally caused us to accidentally hit the Menu and Back VGP-BPS2 buttons, which have moved down to the keyboard area along with Home. The keyboard remains usable, but we're not sure why Amazon got rid of the number VGP-BPS2A row. To access numbers, users have to press the SYM button, then use the D-pad to select. When entering Wi-Fi passwords or location numbers VGP-BPS2B in books, this quickly becomes tedious. Display and Reading Experience Users have more control over how the text looks on screen. As before, there are eight font sizes to PA3534U-1BRS choose from, but now you can also choose between three typefaces: regular, condensed, and sans serif. Users can also fit more text on PA3399U-1BAS a page by shortening the space between words, as well as condensing the amount of space between the lines. We would have appreciated an option that allowed us to increase the space at least one notch as well. There's no built-in accelerometer as with the PA3399U-1BRS Kindle DX, but you can manually change the screen orientation in all four directions. Page turns on the 3G are a hair faster than the Kindle 2, coming in at just under a second. PR |
Apple's slimmed down set-top box sequel makes it dead simple to rent movies vgp-bps13b/q and TV shows, as well as stream content from PCs and (soon) iOS devices. In the battle to dominate the living vgp-bps13a/q room, the new Apple TV doesn't seem to have a lot of firepower. It doesn't boast as many content partners as Roku, nor is it as ambitious as the upcoming Logitech Revue with Google TV (which has a full web browser and an HD webcam connection) or the Boxee Box (which plays every file vgp-bps13/b known to man and has social networking integration). No, Apple's $99 set-top just provides a simple way to rent movies vgp-bps13/q and TV shows, and it's much smaller and runs cooler than the first version. Plus, Apple has added Netflix to the content mix, so VGP-BPS13 you're not locked into the iTunes universe. So is the new Apple TV too simple, or is it just the right product for the masses? Design Part of the reason the new Apple TV is so svelte and cool is that Apple ditched VGP-BPS9/S a mechanical hard drive for flash memory. This ultra-minimalist black box sports a power connector on the back along with an HDMI port, Optical VGP-BPS9A/B Audio connection, and Ethernet (though there's 802.11n inside). And that's it. A power-efficient A4 processor runs the show, and Apple claims that the box eats less power than a night light. We have good news and bad news about the new aluminum remote control. On the plus side, it's longer and sturdier than the Dell Vostro 1510 Battery plastic remote on the first Apple TV. Unfortunately, we found the slightly recessed action button in the middle to be too easy Dell Inspiron 1545 battery to press, which resulted in some unwanted selections. Software and Interface Under Computers, you can stream music, movies, TV shows, photos, and more from your PC or Mac to Apple TV. This Toshiba PA3450U-1BRS Battery worked seamlessly on our home network once we turned on the Home Sharing setting, but having to Toshiba PA3465U-1BRS Battery ensure your PC is turned on and iTunes is open is a bit of a pain. That was one of the benefits of the old Apple TV; its hard drive made it easy to fire up a slideshow or start playing music without needing another device. In addition, you'll need to have your PC Toshiba PA3457U-1BRS Battery on to stream photos using the cool screen saver feature, unless you have the Apple TV connected to a Flickr account. You can Toshiba PA3475U-1BRS Battery do this under settings. Our biggest pet peeve with the Apple TV's included software is how tedious it is to enter text Toshiba PA3478U-1BRS Battery with the on-screen keyboard, whether you're entering passwords or conducting searches. Fortunately, the Remote app for iOS devices has a keyboard that will make your life a lot easier. Content Selection and Pricing You have 48 hours to finish watching 99-cent TV show rentals, but right now Apple TV is short on Toshiba PA3593U-1BRS Battery content. So far Apple only has deals with ABC/Disney, Fox, and BBC. And these partners don't refer to channels Toshiba PA3591U-1BRS Battery but studios. We looked in vain for House, which airs on Fox, only to realize that it's produced by Universal Studios (owned by NBC). NBC and CBS are not on board, though you can download and then stream these shows to Apple TV, Toshiba PA3594U-1BRS Battery which we did for an episode of House. While we understand that there are business reasons behind not everyone being on board, consumers Satellite a200 battery will likely be frustrated by having to purchase different shows from ostensibly different iTunes stores. The PC version of the iTunes store comes in handy with the ability to purchase full seasons good battery of shows you've missed. We question the value of 99-cent TV rentals, especially for those who have a DVR. (On Roku you can purchase-to-own battery certain shows for 99 cents, while others cost $2.99). At least the episodes on Apple TV are commercial-free. If you're a Netflix subscriber, you can tap into TV shows and movies right on the Apple TV. Apple designed the interface batteries to closely resemble the rest of the experience, and it's fairly easy to navigate. Plus, unlike Roku, you don't need to complete the setup battery process on your PC by entering a pin. You just enter your account info and you're good to go. We decided to watch Dexter, but there were tons of other selections available. As with Netflix on Roku and other services, don't expect to watch good batteries current movies. The New Arrivals during our testing included Star Trek and GI Joe. Although it's nice that Apple TV has branched out to include Netflix, Roku's boxes offer a lot battery more content and apps, such as Amazon Video on Demand, Pandora, Flickr, MLB.TV, UFC, and Facebook Photos |
Last night we had a chance to get our mitts on the very hot T-Mobile G2, the Sony VGP-BPS13 Battery carrier’s first HSPA+ phone. With this technology inside the G2 promises 4G speeds in 65 major markets and Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q Battery counting. It’s also the most beautiful Android phone yet, in our opinion, and it has a unique slide-out keyboard with a Z-hinge design. We’re working to bring you our full review of this Android 2.2 device soon, but in the meantime here’s a quick summary of what Sony VGP-BPS13A/B Battery we like and what we don’t, along with a tantalizing gallery. What We Like:Toshiba PA3594U-1BRS Battery •Great Design: The G2 weights a relatively hefty 6.5 ounces, but it looks and feels like a Sony VGP-BPS13/B Battery truly premium smart phone, complete with an aluminum back and accents up front. The rest is solid plastic. We also like the Sony VGP-BPS13B/B Battery optical trackpad underneath the screen, and the brilliant S-TFT display itself (800 x 480 pixels). •Z-Hinge Design Raises Concerns: The G2 isn’t your typical slider phone. The screen literally rises above the keyboard on a Z hinge as you Sony VGP-BPS9 Battery push it back, kind of like leapfrog. That means when you hold the phone upside down the display will hang down from the keyboard portion Sony VGP-BPS8 Battery of the device. We also have to wonder about the long-term durability of this hinge. I certainly wouldn’t give the G2 to my kids to play with. Best of CTIA Fall 2010 As CTIA Enterprise & Applications comes to a close, there were a few big trends that defined Sony VGP-BPS2A Battery the event: the continued explosion of Android phones, more competition in the 4G wars, and renewed reports that the iPhone was coming to Verizon Wireless (we’ll believe it when we see it). After spending three days scouring the show floor and meeting with lots of companies, we narrowed our favorite products and services Sony VGP-BPS2B Battery to five top selections. So without further ado here is our favorite smart phone, app, wireless accessory, enabling technology, and software from the fall CTIA show, products that have the potential to shake up the mobile tech industry and inspire even more Sony VGP-BPS2C Battery innovation In a sea of new Android phones, the Motorola Droid Pro stands out because it was built Toshiba PA3479U-1BRS Battery from the ground up for business users. Ideal for those looking to step up from a BlackBerry, this device sports a Toshiba PA3480U-1BRS Battery comfortable keyboard that’s always front and center, plus QuickOffice Mobile Suite for editing documents on the go. The Droid Pro also covers Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery all the security bases, with remote wipe and password management, as well as data encryption right on the device (coming early next year). While the 3.1-inch screen is on the small side, this 1-GHz handset has plenty Toshiba PA3593U-1BRS Battery of power |
HP's durable but pricey netbook gets serious sony vgp-bps8 battery with a dual-core processor and robust software package. HP has updated its sony vgp-bps13b/q battery powerful and attractive business netbook, the Mini 5103, with features that will appeal to small business users and students alike. While retaining the same rugged yet sleek aluminum and magnesium chassis as before, the 5103 now comes with Intel's new dual-core Atom sony vgp-bps13a/q battery processor, which will allow you to do more without compromising portability. Its price tag ($542; $668 as configured) is sony vgp-bps13/b battery nothing to sneeze at, but long battery life, good security apps, and a high-def display make this Sony VGP-BPS9/B Battery netbook a compelling choice. Editor's Note:The configuration HP sent us Sony VGP-BPS13B/B Battery for review is different from the configurations available to U.S. customers. Our model came with a high-definition, multitouch display, but consumers will only have the option to add a touchscreen to models with the 1024 x 600 resolution. Our review unit also sony vgp-bps13/q battery came with Windows 7 Professional, but that is not a pre-configured option available through HP.com. The price as reviewed reflects a Sony VGP-BPS13 battery configuration with a high-definition panel, but not the touchscreen, and Windows 7 Home Sony VGP-BPS9/S Battery Premium. Design Weighing 2.8 pounds (with the six-cell battery) and measuring 0.9 inches thin, the Mini 5103 Dell Vostro 1510 Battery can easily slip into a backpack or briefcase. The six-cell battery protrudes a bit from the bottom of the system, but it's Dell Inspiron 1545 battery hardly noticeable. To make the 5103 more attractive to students, a carrying handle is available; it screws on and replaces the rear feet. Heat Keyboard and Touchpad The DuraKey coating over the keyboard adds a slight friction that compensates for the keys being completely flat. The coating also protects Toshiba PA3399U-1BRS Battery the letters from wearing off due to heavy usage. The touchpad on the Mini 5103 is a bit small at 2.5 x 1.3 inches (compared to 3.1 x 1.6 inches Toshiba PA3451U-1BRS Battery for the Toshiba mini NB305). We're also not fans of the glossy black surface; the resulting friction made Toshiba PA3450U-1BRS Battery it somewhat difficult to move the cursor. Still, the dedicated left and right mouse buttons, which received a soft rubberized treatment, responded well. Display and Audio The speakers on the 5103's front lip produced decent volume and offered good audio quality for a netbook. Treble came off tinny as we listened to Sarah Solovay's "Gone," but at least bass proved strong when Last.fm offered up Superchick's "One Girl Revolution (Battle Mix)." At 50 percent volume we were able to hear music clearly, but in order to hear Hulu clips clearly battery we had to turn it up batteries to 75 percent. At this level, the audio was still clear and loud even when we good battery added low-level background noise to the mix. |
