The quality of a digital camera is not the mega pixels it can produce although they obviously help, it is done to the quality of the lens (CCD) and the compression methods used.
Colour lasers used to be very expensive, now they can cost less than some not that complex mono lasers. The HP 2550 is certainly an entry level product.
It aint heavy; its a brother that has grabbed my attention.
This seems like a good idea, its a simple design, with a few bells added, the only problem as with all good ideas, why did someone not think of it sooner, or maybe its not such a good idea?
120GB of external storage in a slim vertical case that also has two USB2 ports and even a couple of card drives built in.
Reviewing this so soon after the excellent Philips offering published 17/1/05 gave me more than a few problems. Firstly is it a monitor/TV or a TV/monitor, Samsung list it as a Business unit.
Firstly the dimensions and from these figures some will immediately see my problem 52x34x15cm the latter figure is the depth of the base the actual panel is no more than 5cm deep. A standard 17inch monitor has a screen of 32x27cm this unit from Samsung 37x22cm. Both would give the notional measurement of 17inches when measured diagonally, but the screen makeup and shape is very different. So this leads me to the conclusion that this is a TV/monitor.
It is slim, sleek and has a sexy look. However according to recent reports it could have an adverse effect on male fertility but lets not think about such things instead look on this device as a mobile entertainment centre.
This unit will read and write 17 different card types, yes I said 17 and I must admit I did not even know there were 17 different card types.
Laserjets first arrived over twenty years ago, my first was a 2P with the P standing for personal. Its strange how you remember your first laser printer.
With Sony leaving the PDA market, others are more than willing to take up the slack.
A flat panels display is always the measurement stated, a monitor is normally at least an inch less than stated, also a flat panel will alway take up far less space.
For most of us once school or university are finished then exams seem to matter less. However there is a theory that use it or lose it could well apply.
Watching television programs on your computer monitor has never been easier.
The title only covers part of what this unit can do, it can also record and play .wav files as well as having an FM radio, the reviewed version is less than £30 post free.
Increasingly data is being stored on optical media so perhaps it is time to look at ways of protecting this form of media.
I have long used a multi CD player, my unit started playing up and the warranty was long past. I looked in shops and online multi CD units are no longer that common.
As the amount of data has grown, so has the capacity of the storage media available.
The HP Laser first appeared over 20 years ago, how those who purchased an early offering would have loved what is inside this small box.
This product has been anticipated for some time. What would the company that started to move to portable music do to coompete in the hard-disk MP3 player market? Well, the wait is over with the first products arriving in the UK in October. Is this an Apple iPod killer? Read the article!
Sony uncharacteristically have been very late to the hard-disk based
music player. While they touted their proprietary mini-disk
format in various forms, with and without compression, the rest of the
world followed a more open route.
Both the programs work not only with LPs but also with Cassette Tapes and should you have them also with reel to reel tapes.
Emails are meant to be read only by the recipient but sometimes other show more than a passing interest.
We all like a bargain especially at this time of year and this one sounded so good I checked the price twice and they even offer free delivery.
There are lots of alternatives to the iPod and some are even white! The Philips GoGear offering is 2GB and also has an FM radio.
Headsets normally have one main problem you are linked to the computer or phone by them and therefore you are somewhat stuck. There are solutions, here are just two.
I have looked at numerous PDAs especially those from Palm, here is something that is more than a little different.
Looking to put your creative ability to the digital test, then perhaps you should try your hand at painting.
At an unbelievable £79.99, the ProLine DVDP350 rakes in as the lowest ever priced portable DVD player. Five years ago, you would have been looking to spend around a grand for something like this.
With the variety of card types on the market the easiest way is to have a card reader that will read all the range of card types.
Fed up with holding your mobile phone to your eye? There is an alternative.
This is the first that I know of anyway truly portable DAB radio. Small in size runs on 3xAA batteries and also comes with mains adapter.
I have only had this a few days but thinking about the time of year it would make the ideal present for anyone keen on DAB radio so here are my thoughts after just a fews days use. Dimensions are 11x6x2cm and although the case is anodised aluminium it weights less than 200grams with batteries inserted.
