HTC TOUCH
Revolutionary product; so iPhone often called. One of reason of why iPhone unique is the touch screens which not only response touch, but also movement. For exampke, when doing zoom-in, we just move our thumb and forefinger with go away movement.

But “press and shift” input concept actually isn’t haved by iPhone. HTC also released similar product which called Touch. In this device, the touch feature is named TouchFLO; applied as application launcher from main screen. Its usage is easy: with thumb, press- shift the touch screen from under upward (or upper downwards) until windows laucher is open. Decided your wanted application to available icon; hereinafter we ready to implement the aplication with only “press” the icon. Maybe you will need little time to practice your pressure to touch screen surface. Of course we still can apply stylus to implement the application as usual.

Slim and tiny dimension makes this gadget easy enough to control with one hand only. Black colour and rubber casing plus silver metal line which encircling body edge make HTC Touch is seen elegan and comfort in grab. Its appearance can be said simple: there is no button besides two buttons in slight line form which functioning for Call and End Call. To make a call, just press the Call button on the screen left under, then “pres” the call number. Call can be ended with pressing End in screen, or the End Call button on the screen right under.

2 megapixel cameras pertained standard. The Setting is sufficient, but not enough assisting to increase the result at photo and video in under light condition. Maybe will be helping if HTC gives addition lamp. Existence of mirror is facilitates ownself photograph. The camera button in right corner under maybe not comfortable when we make a picture on portrait position; but not problem on landscape position.

Windows Mobile 6 operating system which more reliable and save more power promises better device performance. Even has not supported 3G, existence of Bluetooth and WiFi is enough fulfilling your connectivity requirement.

We can say as the existing smallest PDA phone, HTC TOUCH is ready to be conceived of iPhone competitor. The operating system which already use Windows Mobile 6 has becomes other fascination.

Transcend T.sonic 820 Another Review

Posted by newbie Wednesday, November 21, 2007 0 comments
Transcend T.sonic 820
Its face is alike a candybar cellphone. This impression strenghtened with the presents of 9 control button in front panel. Tombol + for example, push it if you wish to increase volume. While to activate Transcend T.sonic 820, you must push the left under button.

When turned on, in its bright screen appears the information of remaining capacities. The T.sonic 820 feature is very completes: play music (MP3, WMA, WMA DRM) plus with lyric, records voice, photo /picture and text displays, records FM radio, play video, and presents clock in real time (RTC- Real Time Clock). Record MP3 directly from other source is also supported. For this last activity we need to apply line-in cable which available from buy package.

When functioning as voice recorder, T.sonic 820 offering one better-quality. The voice of course still be recorded in WAV format (ADPCM), but T.sonic 820 can be automatically stops record activity when doesn't detect voice. This VAD (Voice Activation Detection) feature is good for economizing memory capacity, but would be useless if we did record in noises room.

Unhappily when enjoys video (must be converted to MTV format) and also reads e-book, T.sonic 820 is not good enough. Its screen is undersize for Video. On the contrary happen when I read e-book. Its not available the choice to minimize text size which making I don’t enjoy to reads big sized text that presented per four lines but cut to pieces because present per 14 characters.

Fortunately T.sonic 820 is great in music /sound. Voice flown via the earphone can sway uour ear. More, the player can make our favorite songs playlist.

When we nonstop playing MP3 song at strong volume, built-in battery which attached in backside unit (can be seen with opening covers) can work during 10 hours 51 minutes 9 second. While when play video, its age is shorter: 6 hour 15 minutes 33 seconds. With a note, the battery has been full charged via USB connection during 4 hour 34 minutes.

Its slim body makes Transcend T.sonic 820 which has 1,93GB free memory is comfort to carry. Its complete music feature: supports lyric and playlist, and can present real time clock. Unfortunately its data transfer performance is not so fast and only supports single task. Transcend T.sonic 820 available in white (2GB) and black (4GB) color.
