With different DVD formats available, it can be difficult deciding the type of media to use. Why not opt for a drive that supports all formats.
While new computer systems, whether of the desktop or notebook variety, generally arrive with a CD/DVD burner as standard, the drive will probably not support all the various formats available. With a choice of DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-RAM, it is more than likely that the drive in residence will only be able to read / write two of the three formats. However there are drives available, normally referred to as a multi-drive, which can handle all three formats.
This is likely to be my last Dream Toys article for this year as items that have not arrived by now are unlikely to surface, here a handheld Sudoku game plus other Sudoku goodies from other sources.
With the proliferation of memory cards, the need for a multi-format card reader increases. The Integral USB 2.0 Multicard Reader is one solution.
Kodak are certainly a name in photography, no doubt most of our grandparents had or have a Box Brownie in their lofts. Now they are a company producing digital cameras.
This is described as a pocket camera, it is 9x5.5x2cm, the width expands to 5cm with the lens open. It weights just over 150grams. It has a huge 5x3.8cm TFT display but also does have a viewfinder, however this is close to the edge and I think you would soon prefer to use the display except in really bright light.
Viruses are not the only threat waiting to affect the unwary. Spyware also needs to be taken into consideration.
This is a reasonable 2.1 set of speakers with a built in amplifier and the ability to input sound from handheld devices such as an MP3 player. As yet I have not mentioned the ‘big big plus’.
Xara is well-known for creating fast, excellent graphics software. Its latest offering is put to the test.
Companies spent a fortune on 3G licences, are they now beginning to offer something that users will want, use, and dare I say, need?
Smile please. We are about to check out a digital camera from Pentax.
This HP inkjet printer is quite wide but the depth makes you think surely this cannot print A4 it does and for good measure it’s borderless, however this is also a rapid unit.
The is 45.5x32x17cm and this includes the power and USB leads inserted. Perhaps it's the lack of height that makes it appear small, certainly it would fit on most shelves without any problem. You only ever need access to the front. The paper sits in a drop down tray - face down - and is delivered face up on a shelf just above.
DVDs, video, music, images and television are the main ingredients of a media centre. They can all be found on a notebook from Acer.
Not just another bland PC in a tower case, I first saw a pre production sample six months ago, after much nagging from me I got a production model for a short loan recently.
Do you have the correct time? What’s the weather forecast? The answer to both these questions could be provided by a single Oregon Scientific device.
It’s full name is ‘Goodmans Personal MP3 / WMA Jukebox’ but I think my title tells you more using far less words. It is also a voice recorder.
Organising your digital photos need not cause too much trouble. One method could be to use Corel Photo Album 6.
Although this is a piece of electrical equipment it is not connected in any way to a PC. In fact it looks about the size of an older video recorder but it can store many hundreds of CD’s
Acoustic Solutions are known for better quality Hi-Fi and amplifiers, here the all important chip is provided by 3GA. In fact 3GA and an annual event held in Cambridge for new innovations is the whole reason I knew about it. Two weeks ago a cold day in November saw me on a train to Cambridge at some horribly early hour.
Setting up a speaker system usually involves a plethora of wires. Saitek Audio believes a wireless approach is better.
A question that I have often asked of various speaker manufacturers is "When are we going to see products that make use of wireless technology?" Generally the initial response is a grin followed by silence. I then go on to complain about the difficulty of having wires cluttering up the place, adding to the possibility of causing an accident.
This is probably the most mature mapping package for the PC, now it even allows you to link yourself via GPS, just one of the new features for 2006.
Looking to increase the memory capacity of your digital camera, then Just Ram plc has a possible solution.
Not exactly what you would call a toy but it was on show on the Flair stand at Dream Toys 2005, so something for the much bigger boys – and girls – World Poker Tour, the Tournament Set and just for good measure their Professional Card Shuffler.
No one - I hope - is suggesting that you need more than a pack of cards or so to play poker. However whenever the word 'money' is mentioned things tend to get a little serious. So if you and your mates enjoy a game then why not have all the accoutrements of the professionals and the Tournament Set distributed by Flair has all that.
