3G Wireless Reading Device Review

Overall I feel that the Kindle is just as good if not better than other E-Books such as the Sony E-Reader and iPhone E-Book Apps, as it doesn’t boast hundreds of different features but gets straight on with the job. With a whole month of battery life its an incredible unit, especially for those who like to have a daily read. Not only can you store up to 3500 books, but, they cost as little as 72pence each!

After reviewing the Archos 101, people were coming to me asking to review the Amazon Kindle! This product was an exclusive to the USA but has since been released to the UK. The more expensive model, which includes a free 3G connection to the Kindle store costs £139 and the Wi-Fi only model costs around £109.

What’s in the Box

The box contains:-

- Power Adapter

- USB 2.0 cable

- Rechargeable Battery

- Quick Start Guide

Physically, the device is a little slimmer than its predecessor. Amazon has achieved this by reducing the size and thickness of the bevel and removing the row of number keys from the keyboard. The keyboard itself is a rudimentary affair that is, thankfully, only used during setup and for book searches, other than that I don’t see the need for having it.

The rear mounted speakers are surprisingly effective, though. Page turn buttons are mounted on the left and right, with forward and back replicated on both sides so you can turn pages one handed. This proved to be quite useful, however, after using the iPad and Archos 101, the touchscreen seemed that little bit better, allowing me to slide the page across rather than press the button. The device itself cuts no corners and does exactly what you would expect. The latest Kindle looks almost identical as its predecessor minus the few cosmetic changes.

However, Amazon have tweaked the performance by increasing storage to over 3GB, improving the clarity of the display and increasing the refresh rate for a better experience. The Kindle uses the new E Ink Pearl panel, and it’s just as comfortable on the eyes as words on a page. The Kindle can even be used in direct sunlight without the need to move around for a better/clearer picture. Not that I have used it in direct sunlight as of yet, but I’m sure to be taking it on holiday with me this year!

Battery Life                                                                                          1 month

The bottom edge of the device sports a volume control and 3.5mm headphone jack along with a micro USB connector for both charging and data transfer. The latest Kindle does not boast a touchscreen feature, nor do Amazon plan on adding this to future releases. I think the Kindle would benefit from touch screen as I find it easier to just flick the screen to change page.

Battery life is quoted at up to one month with wireless turned off. In the real world, however, Amazon encourages you to keep it switched on so you can store the furthest point reached in a book. However, with internal bookmarks I didn’t see the need for leaving the wireless on. A month of battery life is superb! Considering I charge my iPhone every day!

Amazon has clearly been working hard at improving the book buying process. Order a Kindle and, on delivery, you’ll find it’s been automatically linked to the Amazon account used to buy it. Its simple to buy books and there’s plenty of choice, too, with the UK Kindle store now boasting more than 400,000 titles.

At the time of writing, all of the top ten books were available in Kindle form, many of them at an impressive discount. Stephen Fry’s “The Fry Chronicles”, for example, costs £6.54 in its digital version compared with £9.35 in hardback and this despite the fact that eBooks are subject to VAT. The joy of a device like this is being able to download the entire works of Charles Dickens for 72p and hardly notice the difference in storage available. 72p for that many books will save the user a lot in the long run! The buying process is simple! Find the book, then click Buy! Then automatically the book is saved to the Kindle.

Summary

Overall I feel that the Kindle is just as good if not better than other E-Books such as the Sony E-Reader and iPhone E-Book Apps, as it doesn’t boast hundreds of different features but gets straight on with the job. With a whole month of battery life its an incredible unit, especially for those who like to have a daily read. Not only can you store up to 3500 books, but, they cost as little as 72pence each!

Garmin ecoRoute HD Onboard Computer Review

Lemon Digital                                 The cheapest satellite navigation from TomTom, Garmin and every other brand, PDA system and digital picture frames

After using the Garmin ecoRoute HD for 2 weeks I found that overall I did save a few pennies and that I did manage to cut down my daily miles. I think that if I would have used the ecoRoute HD for a whole year then it would have had a far greater impact and I would have saved a decent amount. Not only have I cut down the miles on my vehicle but I have also lowered my carbon footprint.

After the highly anticipated release of the Garmin ecoRoute HD i was wondering what all of the fuss was about. So I contacted our good friends Lemon Digital to see whether or not they had these in stock, they had plenty and offered to give me one to review to see what I thought about it.

What Does the ecoRoute Do?

The Garmin ecoRoute HD Onboard Computer is used to help improve Garmin Nuvi users fuel consumption and help the users to reduce their negative impact on the environment. The ecoRoute also specialises in:

Engine Monitoring Fuel Efficiency Car Diagnostics

The ecoRoute also offers Sensor and Gauge Data to help you keep track on everything ranging from your RPM to your Coolant Temperature.

The users of this relatively cheap accessory should earn their money back within a year with the amount of fuel saved. This is a rough estimate based upon the amount I think that I saved throughout the two weeks of usage.

Compatible Garmin Units

After looking into the Garmin ecoRoute everyone was listing that it was only compatible with a select few Sat Navs. However, once I received the package it seemed to state otherwise. The package read that it was compatible with the following:

That is quite a lot more than what Garmin were originally saying on their official website. So i gave them a call and they confirmed that it is compatible with the list that i gave them and what was on the back of the package. In a nutshell, the ecoRoute HD is compatible with nearly all of the Garmin Nuvi units.

Whats in the Box

This is what you get in the box:

Garmin ecoRoute HD Instructions Manual 4 Cable Ties 2 Self Adhesive Stickers

Here’s an Image of what i received:

The box that the ecoRoute comes in is classic Garmin. A solid cardboard box with all of the glossy images that you would expect, including the compatibility list on the back of the box.

Installation

Once I went through the box and read the Instructions manual i was still unclear on how to install the device to my vehicle. Unlike most other Garmin units this wasn’t as straight forward as I would have thought. I looked in my vehicle for the “OBD II Connector” only to realise I didn’t have a clue what it looked like nor did i know where to find it. The manual did give me a brief image of what it looked like and it told me to search the web for images of it.

I went onto the internet and then onto YouTube to find out exactly how to do it! Once I watched a video on YouTube it was Simple! The Connector was located right in my footwell below the steering column.

After I Installed the ecoRoute i asked myself whether or not it is compatible with all vehicles?

Vehicle Compatibility

I quickly surfed the web to see if anyone had experienced any problems with the ecoRoute HD and whether or not it is compatible with all cars. I couldn’t really find a lot of information about the ecoRoute, maybe this was because its a new product. There wasn’t a lot on the internet to answer my question. So once again, I phoned Garmin to ask them. They were very helpful and gave me a list of vehicles that it wont work with:-

1996 Dodge Intrepid 2000 Ford F350 7.3L Turbo Diesel 2003 Subaru Forester Renault Vehicles

Renault were the surprising incompatible vehicles on the list. A market leader which will have a detrimental impact on the sales of these units.

Summary

After using the Garmin ecoRoute HD for 2 weeks I found that overall I did save a few pennies and that I did manage to cut down my daily miles. I think that if I would have used the ecoRoute HD for a whole year then it would have had a far greater impact and I would have saved a decent amount. Not only have I cut down the miles on my vehicle but I have also lowered my carbon footprint.

I was however, slightly bewildered as to why it is not compatible with Renault vehicles. I am guessing its because the OBD Connector II is situated in a non suitable spot, near the pedals maybe?

Vexia Econav 380 Sat Nav Review

This review looks at the Vexia Econav 380 Sat Nav.  Vexia is a name you might not immediately associate with the sat nav market, it is a Spanish brand developed in 2008 to encourage eco friendly GPS navigation.

The Vexia Econav works like any traditional GPS navigator, but with features built-in to encourage you to drive more economically and thereby save money on your fuel bills.

The eco market is an area several manufacturers have moved into over the last 18 months, both Garmin and TomTom have developed systems which allow a user to navigate using the most fuel efficient route.

Vexia take this a step further.  Not only can it calculate the most fuel efficient route, but it also provides visual and voice instructions indicating when to change gear.

It does this by storing the vehicle profiles of over 11,000 models of car.  You simply select your car model and make when first setting up the system.

In addition to giving instructions on when to change gear, it also provides visual warnings if you accelerate or brake too quickly, as well as displaying the safe stopping distance based on current speed.

We reviewed the Vexia Econav 380.  There is also an Econav 480 if you prefer a widescreen version.  Both the 380 and 480 ship with either UK and Ireland mapping, or for a higher price European mapping.

We tested the Vexia on the same routes we use when reviewing other GPS systems.  On the whole it performed pretty well, selecting appropriate routes.

Route recalculation when taking a wrong turn worked well most of the time, although on one occasion it got completely messed up, first telling us to turn right onto a dirt track, and when we ignored that instruction it told us to turn left into a caravan park.

The Vexia displays the speed limit of the road you’re driving on and in our tests it did an excellent job.  The correct speed was displayed on all the routes we selected.

  

There were a number of issues we did run into whilst testing, none of these were major, but they are areas we’d like to see improved:

There is no visual or audible warning if you take a wrong turn, the system will silently recalculate the route for you.  If you’re quick and glance down at the screen you will see a progress bar as it recalculates the route, but it is very easy to miss that.  We’d like some kind of warning when taking a wrong turn. We couldn’t enter a destination until a satellite signal was established.  This can be particularly annoying if you want to check or program a route indoors before a journey.  Other manufacturers provide an “offline” mode where you can calculate a route without a satellite signal. We found the screen too small.  The information bar displayed at the bottom of the screen showing details like time of arrival and current speed was too small to read.  It’s possible things are slightly better on the Econav 480 which has a wider screen, but we feel the display needs redesigning to improve readability. The left hand side of the econav screen tries to convey too much information in our opinion making the screen look cluttered and unreadable.  The right hand side of the screen looks much better. 

We also found ourselves looking at the screen more often than a traditional GPS navigator to read this information, which could prove a distraction when driving.  Sometimes less is more, and we’d like to see less information on this screen.

At slower speeds, such as driving in urban areas, you may find the Econav is continually asking you to change up and down gear.  In our tests we were driving at 30mph in a built-up area, and it kept asking us to change up to 4th and then back down to 3rd, since our speed was drifting a couple of mph either side of what it felt was time to change gear. This got a bit annoying after a while.

We tested the Econav 380 on a 2007 Honda Civic 1.8 Sport, which itself includes a series of lights on the dashboard that indicate efficient driving, so it provided a good comparison with the Econav 380.

Overall it did a decent job of telling us when to change gear.  Of course the Vexia has to use satellites to compute your speed, so you may find a 1-2 second delay before it realises you need to change gear.

There are times when the gear change instructions don’t make sense, for example when driving up or down a hill it makes sense to stay in a lower gear, so on these occasions it is best to ignore what the Vexia suggests.

The Econav 380 provides a nice series of reports where you can view how efficiently you’ve driven for a particular day, week, etc.

 

Safety camera warnings are pre-installed and in our tests it worked fine with fixed cameras.  We did not get an opportunity to test whether it will detect mobile or red light cameras.  Safety camera updates are available from Vexia.

The points of interest (POI) was surprisingly good, offering a good selection of categories and providing accurate listings for our local area.

The Vexia Econav is an innovative looking device with some nice features to encourage more eco friendly driving. 

As a navigational device we’d still recommend either Garmin or TomTom, both perform better overall, although the Vexia is not far behind.  Some people could also argue that driving sensibly is common sense, most people already know that if you don’t accelerate or brake too hard you can save fuel, you don’t need really need a GPS device to tell you that.  So we’re not totally convinced this device will catch on.

There is a move to making GPS devices more eco friendly though, and this device offers some potential and advantages over the likes of Garmin and TomTom in this department.  If Vexia continue to be creative and innovative in this marketplace this could be a device to watch.

LG GW620 Android Phone Review

For the last few weeks we’ve been playing with the LG GW620, the first Android phone from LG.  Here is our quick review on how we got on.

Summary
The LG GW620 is a decent entry into the Android phone market.  The Google integration is excellent and there are a large selection of free applications you can install.

It needs a more responsive touch/slide interface, a larger screen, improved browser and an upgrade on the installed Android 1.5 firmware.

If LG can improve these areas this would become a very attractive phone.

Out of the box the phone looked good and of a decent build quality, nothing too flimsy and the phone looked like it would survive a few knocks and bumps quite easily.

The phone was a bit chunkier than we were expecting but nothing excessive, the phone easily fits in the palm of your hand.  Considering the slide out keyboard the overall dimensions of the phone are pretty good.

The touch/slide interface at times is fiddly to use, and is not as responsive as the iPhone interface.  You have to press the screen quite firmly before you can scroll the screen.  This can make it difficult when navigating a list of options, you can end up selecting an item from a list when all you want to do is scroll down the list.

Our other minor niggle was the proprietary USB port on the phone.  For a phone that is trying adopt open standards we would have liked a standard USB port like those used on other devices like digital cameras for example.

Other phone manufacturers are equally to blame in this area but it would be nice to see some standards between manufactures here.  It certainly would save having different flavours of USB cable scattered around your home.

We were disappointed to find that under the covers the LG GW620 is only running Android 1.5 (Cupcake).  We would have preferred an Android 2.0 phone.  The 2.0 version is better, more robust and provides a greater selection of applications.

Since this is an Android phone the integration with Google services such as GMail and Google Maps is excellent.

GMail contacts can be synchronised with the phone.  This can provide a very powerful contacts management system on the phone, especially if you hold information like a person’s address and web site within your GMail contacts list.  You can select a contact on the phone, click on their address and Google Maps will automatically start up and show you their location on a map.  Click on a person’s web site URL and the browser will display their web page.

There are a good number of applications available, both free and non-free, via Android Market, such as the BBC iPlayer.  Android Market works pretty much the same way as the iTunes store does on an iPod, just search for an application and install it on your phone.

The LG GW620 provides good integration with social network sites like Facebook and Twitter.  Twitter applications like twidroid can be downloaded from Android Market.

The built in browser worked well in our tests.  Web pages don’t render as well as the iPhone and the LG screen size could do with being a bit larger, but it’s not a bad effort.

Text messaging works slightly different than some other phones.  Text messages are displayed on screen as if you were having an instant message conversation with a person, which can make tracking conversations easier.

The keyboard on this phone is pretty decent overall, it is easy to use and keys were just about sufficiently far apart to avoid hitting the wrong keys.

Our only gripe was the delete key positioned directly above the enter key.  We had a tendency to press the enter key by mistake on a number of occasions, this was most annoying when performing tasks like updating your Facebook status.  The result being a half finished sentence posted to Facebook.

The LG GW620 sports a 5 megapixel camera with a good selection of options available to tweak items like exposure and metering mode.  The quality of photos taken with this phone was very good too.

Overall this a decent phone from LG with some really nice features, but it needs to improve in several areas before we would consider buying one.

If LG can provide an Android 2.0 phone with a touch/slider interface to rival the iPhone then we’d seriously consider buying one.

Buy the LG GW620 from Amazon.

3M MPro150 Pocket Projector Review

Overall this is a nice looking device that has a decent price tag for what it offers.  It is small, portable and easy to use.  It will never replace a full size projector but if you want to impress your friends at home, or fancy using this at the office, then it has potential.

The 3M MPro150 is the latest pocket projector to be released by 3M, building on the previous MPro 120.

The MPro 150 is essentially the same as the MPro120 but with 1Gb internal storage, improved file format support, a USB mini out port and a MicroSD card slot.  The only downside is reduced battery life.

The full specifications page provides further information if you want to compare these two models further.

In the box you get the following:

MPro150 projector2Gb MicroSD cardBatteryWall charger with adapters (US, EU, UK)USB to mini USB cableComposite video cable (RCA)3 x RCA Gender ConvertersVGA computer cable TripodSoft protective pouchQuick start guideOut of the box the MPro150 is surprisingly light, weighing only 160 grams.  It is small enough to fit in a suit or jacket pocket.  The MPro150 exterior looks well built and feels good to hold in your hand.

 

On the top of the device are controls for adjusting volume and for navigation around the menu systems, a zoom button and an on/off switch.

1Gb of memory is built into the device and a 2Gb MicroSD card is included should extra storage be needed.  Personally we would have preferred a standard SD card, we find the MicroSD variety too small and fiddly for our liking.

The front of the device holds the projector screen and a dial focus control.  The rear of the device holds a VGA/AV port and a mini USB port.  Again we would have preferred a standard USB cable connector.

The MPro150 connects to a variety of devices such as digital cameras and MP3 players, but the box only includes an RCA cable with a variety of gender connectors. 

That only provides half of the connectivity you need though.  If you want to connect one of these to your iPod Touch or digital camera for example, then you’ll need to buy additional cables that connect to the provided RCA gender connectors.  So it was a shame we couldn’t hook up these devices out of the box.

Setup is straightforward, simply connect the MPro150 to your laptop or PC and transfer the necessary files onto the internal memory.

The MPro150 supports a variety of file formats, including Microsoft Office (DOC, XLS, PPT), Adobe (PDF) as well as BMP and JPG image formats.  MP3 audio and MP4 video formats are supported.

A small three legged tripod is provided to enable the projector to stand safely on a desk.

Once the projector is turned on a menu system is projected allowing a user to navigate and operate the projector.  The menu system is not the most intuitive and could be made easier to use, but after playing with the system for 10 minutes we felt comfortable working our way around.

A fan kicks in when the projector is initially switched on but soon switches off again.  We saw no signs of overheating or a noisy fan continually coming on.

Brightness or power is clearly not up to par with a dedicated full size projector, especially in brighter rooms, but if you can find a sufficiently dark room it is pretty good.

We tested out some Microsoft Word and Excel documents, these projected pretty well in small size rooms where we were sitting close to the projector.  Sitting further away and the brightness was not really sufficient to read text clearly, the font sizes became too small, so this projector won’t really scale up for larger size meeting rooms or for complex business documents containing a lot of text or graphics.

The MPro150 is more suited to small meetings or for simple PowerPoint presentations with a few bullet points on each page.

  

We also tested projecting some JPG photos and these worked well.  Picture quality was pretty good and if you move the projector sufficiently far away from a wall then you can enjoy photo slideshows occupying a whole wall.

Overall this is a nice looking device that has a decent price tag for what it offers.  It is small, portable and easy to use.  It will never replace a full size projector but if you want to impress your friends at home, or fancy using this at the office, then it has potential.

We’d like to see a more generous selection of cables inside the box, improved brightness and resolution.  We give this a 4 out of 5 star rating.

Fancy winning one of these pocket projectors?

To enter, visit the mobile u web site and simply tell in 50 words or less the most memorable, funny or embarrassing presentation you’ve delivered or seen.  One winner will win £500 worth of  iwantoneofthose vouchers and an MPro150 as well as a short viral video being made, which the winner can star in if they wish.

NETGEAR WNDR3700 Review: The Ultimate Wireless Networking Machine

Sometimes, all you need are the basics.  Other times, you need to break out the "big guns."  The NETGEAR WNDR3700?  One of the big guns.

How big, you say?  Gigabit Ethernet.  680 MHz processor.  A robust 16 MB of flash and 64 (!) MB of RAM.  This thing has the power you need, maybe even more than you need, which makes it perfect in my book - and definitely leagues beyond your average cheapie generic router.

This "ultimate networking machine" is also fully decked out with everything the super-connected, bandwidth crunching, HD media streaming home requires, with power to spare.  Is the WNDR3700 right for you and your home?  Read on, and learn about the advanced features of this special router.

I've unboxed a lot of NETGEAR products, and the WNDR3700's packaging is no different.  NETGEAR does a great job of packaging, keeping the materials efficient, with as little waste as possible, while retaining the product safely and securely.

Inside the box, you'll find the WNDR3700 router along with the installation CD (you won't really need it,) the power cord,  an Ethernet networking cable, and a stand if you wish to use it.

The router is handsome, as far as routers go.  It's made of a sturdy plastic with a glossy NETGEAR-logo-embossed top, and looks really sharp.

The back of the router is gifted with mounting holes, with which you could easily attach the WNDR3700 to a wall - for example, in your basement or in a media center.  Very handy.

The back ports are pretty standard - except for that the Ethernet ports are gigabit capable, and you also get a USB port for ReadyShare usage (more on that later.)

Ready to get this bad boy up and running?  Fortunately, NETGEAR really makes setup quite easy on this router (as well as all others that I've gotten my hands on.)  This is nice, since router setup can really be a pain, especially with cheaper products.

After plugging in the router to your local network as well as to your Internet connection and powering it on, simply navigate to 192.168.1.1 in your browser bar, and enter the "standard" credentials.  (If you need help connecting the cables, consult your user manual - but for basic purposes, plug the cable from your Internet into the yellow port, and your local network items into one of the four others.)

Admin = admin

Password = password

Pretty simple.  You'll be brought into the router interface, at which time it will check the NETGEAR servers for a newer version of the firmware.  You should allow it to do this, and complete an update if necessary.  Having the newest version of the stock firmware ensures that the device will be stable and have the latest feature set.
