Life beats movie: Zune HD

admin — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 21:31:06 +0000

They say television adds at least about 10 kg. If true, about the same make and monitor, we all saw different pictures of the new Zune HD from every angle, from the start. But something else was to see him and I play with it in reality. What really proved downright shocking, Zune HD is much more flexible than I could tell from the picture.

Of course, the first thing you see the Zune HD is design, which is a huge leap forward for Microsoft, compared with the first Zune’s (you remember your brown Zune? Blah!). Case is not thicker than a USB stick next generation, just as the dimensions need to sit perfectly in your hand and is surprisingly easy. And this despite the metal used generously in the construction, the entire back and sides of the metal plate. Has a total of three large buttons and wide (well, not too high, but wide enough): one below the screen, the position of “home”, which takes you into the main interface, wherever you are in the menus, and you and out of games or other applications, a second button is positioned on the top side of the player, having the screen lock function (at a short press) but also on / off (if you hold down a few seconds), the third button is placed on the left side without having the function of media in the foreground controls (play / pause, next and volume). On the down side is a proprietary connector for USB cable connects with PC and standard 3.5 mm connector for headphones.

Beyond these elements, the design is dominated by an excellent 3.3-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. The images displayed are simply superb, with vibrant colors and exceptional clarity of detail, hence the capability to display HD video flawlessly thanks Tegra chip integrated graphics, which also can get HD movies at 720p on a TV screen . But about that a little later.

New Gadget: YoGen Hand Powered Charger

admin — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 11:40:13 +0000

Tashanna sent me a link to a really cool product that is coming soon. It is a hand powered charger called the YoGen that you charge by repeatedly pulling a cord. They describe the motion as similar to a Yo-Yo string. While the self retracting cord is pulled an alternator continuously spins generating power to charge your phone.

It has a built in 650mAh battery which you charge by pulling. It then has a MiniUSB connector to charge your phone. Sadly I could not find any information on how many times you need to pull the cord to make a significant charge. I remember BlackBerry Cool reviewed such a device a bit back and they had to crank it for 15 minutes for it to make a dent.
