We’ve reviewed a few of the media player products from the Sony Walkman range in the past so were pleased when Sony offered to send us the newest NWZ-A845 which went on sale at the beginning of March this year.
There were a few things that made the NWZ-A845 stand out. Firs of all it has a fairly large OLED display at 240×400 pixels, good for video playback, secondly it’s only 7mm thick! Impressive when you consider what Sony have packed in to that small space, including a battery that claims to give 29 hours of MP3 playback.
Another cool feature of the NWZ-A845 is that it comes with special noise cancelling headphones. The headphones have a built in microphone to pick up the ambient noise which the Walkman then processes to produce anti-noise. They work really rather well!
As always we’ll have a full written review for you soon but for the time being you can enjoy the unboxing video below.
It’s been a while since we reviewed a projector here at tracyandmatt and this week we’ve ended up with two to look at. The first of which is the Mitsubishi XD600U DLP projector.
On paper the XD600U sounds pretty impressive with its 4500 ANSI Lumens brightness, probably one of the brightest projectors that you can buy at the moment. This means that you can use the projector in a room without having to close all of the blinds/curtains and turning off all the lights, particularly useful if you are using the projector for business applications.
The other thing about the XD600U is that it’s 3D ready. You will need some additional kit in order experience 3D with this projector, including a set of 3D shutter glasses but I believe this is one of the few projectors to offer the capability so far.
So to test this projector out of got myself a large projector screen and hooked up to my PS3. Take a look at the video below to see the unboxing and a look at the connectors and controls. Later on in the video you can also see a bit of a demo of the XD600U in use.
It’s been a while since we had a dedicated SatNav device in for review and over two years since we last reviewed anything from Mio.
When it comes to satellite navigation products most people will think or TomTom, CoPilot or maybe Navman but I don’t think Mio’s name would spring to mind for mot people but in actual fact Mio have been making GPS enable PocketPC’s and dedicated GPS devices for years.
When Mio contacted me offering the Moov for review I thought it would be just another Pocket PC style devices with built in GPS capability and maps from one of the better known sources.
I was wrong.
The Mio Moov Spirit V505 is a bit different. It’s a dedicated SatNav unit with not only a BIG screen but also a built-in TV tuner. Ideal for those that drive professionally and want to do something when they have to take their rest breaks.
James spends a LOT of time on the road so will be doing the review over the coming week but I’ve recorded a brief unbox to show you what it’s all about!
I’m in to my second full day of use with the HTC Desire and I have to say that I am really enjoying it. We just have a few more days to play with it before it has to go back off to HTC ready to go out to the next reviewer.
Yesterday I posted on Twitter and asked for your questions regarding the HTC Desire and lots have you have given me some work to do! I’ve decided to record another video of the HTC Desire in use where I can answer a few of those questions and also look at some of the apps in use as well as pointing out one or two of the problems that I’ve been having.
It’s another 20 minute video for you so sit back and enjoy!
If you are like me and use your BlackBerry a hell of a lot you may notice on occasions it slowing down. This is caused by the devices internal memory being used up.
With a lot of applications installed on the device and with the BlackBerry not having a huge memory this can be a common problem.
I have been using an application called Memory Booster for about a month and as you will see in the video below its a rather good way of keeping the BlackBerry running as efficiently as possible.
There are several apps that do the same sort of job as Memory Booster so I’m not endorsing this one, it’s just that this is the one I like. Demo video after the jump.
Well to be honest the title of the post may not be doing justice to the video, it’s a bit more than just an unboxing video!
I’ve been waiting patiently to get my hands on the HTC Desire since I saw it just before its launch at MWC last month. I previously had the Goolge Nexus One which I loved but the HTC Desire seemed to want to take Android to a whole new level with the customisation and Sense UI that HTC added on to it.
The HTC Desire is the second of the four handsets announced by HTC at MWC to actually go on sale. The Desire not far behind it’s smaller brother, the HTC Legend.
There is perhaps a lot of hype around the HTC Desire so I’m sure we are all hoping that it will live up to our expectations. I’m going to spend the next week using the HTC Desire as my main phone and I will be putting together the full review along the way.
For now have a look at my rather lengthy introduction to the HTC Desire in the video below. Hopefully I’ve covered enough in there to whet your appetite for more so please do make use of the forum to post your comments or questions and let me know what you would like me to cover in more detail.
Acer seem to be releasing new handsets at a rate of one every three to four weeks. Here we have the latest handset from Acer, the neoTouch P300 which follows on form the E101 and E200 that we reviewed last month.
The P300 is a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 handset with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. There don’t seem to be many Windows Mobile handsets being released at the moment, perhaps some manufacturers holding back after the Windows Phone 7 Series announcement last month at MWC. Acer don’t seem to be holding anything back though as this is the third such handset to be released this year.
The P300 that we have here is a pre-release model. It’s final hardware and ROM but, as you’ll realise when you see the video below, it’s not final retail packaging. You can pre-order the P300 from Clove Technology and we have them to thank for managing to get their hands on the device so early and helping us get the exclusive on the unboxing.
We’ve only got the neoTouch P300 for a day so we wont be writing the full review just yet. I’ve tried to go in to a little more detail in the video below but we’ll have full review for you once the retail version becomes available.
A YouTube application is pre-loaded onto most Smartphones these days. We recently posted the details of a new YouTube client for Windows Mobile and Symbian devices which replaces the pre-installed app.
This new version brings with it some nice new features to make the mobile version of YouTube more like the desktop one. Personally I would say a vast improvement over the standard Windows Mobile offering.
Below is a short video showing you these new features and a general overview of the application.
When the Samsung Galaxy came out in August of last year I think it was the first Android powered handset that I really wanted to own. While I liked the Android OS, prior to the Galaxy I felt that other Android handsets were not particularly attractive or interesting but the Galaxy came along with its neat, think styling and OLED display, it was pretty cool!
So Samsung have launched a follow up to the Galaxy called the Galaxy Portal. Pretty similar styling to the original Galaxy, still thin and pretty stylish looking but the buttons below the display have been changed and there’s now a few more alongside them.
One thing that already bugs me about the Portal (and a few other handsets coming out at the moment) is that it still have Android 1.5 (cupcake) which feels rather dated now. Having come from the 2.1 powered HTC Legend and Nexus One those 1.5 handsets don’t have such a nice feel to them. Will the average customer care about that? Perhaps not but I suspect that it might be a little off putting for the higher-end user.
To find out what else may have changed since the original Samsung Galaxy you’ll have to wait for out full review but for now you can have a look at the unboxing video below where I’ll take you on a tour of the hardware and give you a little look around the OS too.
All eyes have been on Windows Phone 7 Series recently and it’s looking to be a decent OS, although, if recent rumours are to be believed, it does have some flaws.
One of the interesting new features on WP7S will be the integration of Zune services.
Here in the UK we are not that familiar with Zune as the units were only sold in the USA and even if you brought one back to the UK, you couldn’t gain access to Zune services. But that is soon to change!
I’m lucky enough to own a Zune HD and as you will see in this short video the Zune experience is a pretty nice one. I thought I would record a very quick video of the user interface on my Zune HD to give you a taster as the Zune software in the new WP7S devices will probably be much the same as you see in the video.
