 | JESUIT - gadget @ TTS -Ep32- Samsung Solid State Drive http://www.TheTechStop.net This week we get uberGeeky once again with the Samsung SSD. This Solid State Drive is built on Samsung's NAND flash memory technology to provide you with the highest performance possible in a data storage device. It also provides an unprecedented level of power and thermal efficiency, durability and longevity that is second to none. We run the SSD through its paces, throwing the latest benchmarks at the unit as well as a few real-world scenarios. With a SATA II interface, 100MBps read / 80 MBps write, 2.5" and smaller form factors, as well as the industry's best flash technology, the Samsung SSD might be just the thing for your notebook, desktop or server. We also take a look at the TIX clock from ThinkGeek as a way to add some uberGeek style to your den of nerdiness --- Stay tuned!

 | JESUIT - gadget @ TTS -Ep30- SanDisk Sansa Connect http://www.TheTechStop.net I may not be a fan of Apple's media players (though I admire their laptop design) but even I can see that we live in an iPod world. Every new media device is inevitably compared to the iPod and measured in terms of its "iPod Killer"-ness. Even with charges by Creative Labs, Microsoft and Samsung, Apple seems to be sitting pretty. Most of the iPod competitors have invested heavily in marketing campaigns to make their devices as hip, cool and socially necessary as the iPod — Many of those same companies then build-in "features" that seem to cripple the players (DRM, clunky PC interface, etc.) — It seems that all too often the possibly usurpers of the iPod throne forget about designing devices that "just work." — And so I've given up on media players.... Or at least I had before I got a chance to review the SanDisk Sansa Connect The Sansa Connect is a compact media player with 4GB of internal Flash memory and a MicroSD slot for those who need expanded capacity. It's plug-and-play compatible with any XP or Vista system and it synchronizes with Windows Media Player. This means that Windows users will not need any drivers or application software to load up the player with their content. This little device has a small but vibrant color LCD screen and can play WMA, MP3s, and MPEG4 videos. Sansa has put a lot of effort into making the Connect usable and intuitive. The menus are easy to navigate, the scroll wheel simple to figure out, the screen is bright and readable even in direct sunlight. The Connect has a small speaker embedded into the back of the device that was actually quite usable and not nearly as tinny as we figured it would be. It has a standard complement of ports and users can configure everything from search to screen brightness and volume — but it's not in the standard music player functions that give the Connect its name — for that, we look to the integrated WiFi. SanDisk has designed the Connect to integrate with the Yahoo! Music Store. When the WiFi finds an access point, it will automatically log into Yahoo, let users see which of their friends are online, stream music directly to their players and — most importantly — download music directly to the device without ever having to plug it into a computer. — We had a blast playing with the Connect and the full review is going to show it. If you want a well-designed media player that isn't locked down like a Zune or iPod, you might want to check out this $110 player — you'll be glad you did.

 | JESUITS - gadget @ TTS -EP63- Pharos GPS Trips and Pics http://www.thetechstop.net/?page_id=928 Are you adrift in a sea of digital pictures? --- If so, you need to take a look at the Pharos "Trips and Pics" -- a GPS 'geotagging' system that might be the ultimate in vacation photo collecting. The Pharos Trips & Pics is a self-contained geotagging package complete with GPS receiver, battery and interface software. About the size of two stacked matchboxes, the Trips and Pics is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and light enough (only .15 lbs) to be hung around your neck. Pharos is known for high-quality GPS devices and the Trips and Pics is no exception. The GPS receiver has an integrated patch antenna, 20 channel tracking and a 24 hour battery. It also has enough memory to log up to 45 days worth of GPS fixes. Trips and Pics is compatible with any digital camera and the software will automatically tag each picture, placing them on your map of choice. -- We used it with Google earth and were rewarded with a visual representation not only of our travels, but of the location of each and every single on of our photos. Since it uses the time stamp of the photos and compares them against the time stamp of the GPS receiver log entries, each picture is placed on the map exactly where it was taken. The end result was that we had a fantastically detailed map of our path around the island, and a neatly organized trip photo album. If we wanted to, we could share this album with the world, or just with our friends --- This changes the paradigm of the family photo album. http://www.TheTechStop.net/?page_id=9 |
