Portable Movie-viewer Face-off: Creative Zen Vision M vs. Nokia N810

June 24, 2009 in Gadget Reviews, Reviews, Uncategorized by admin | No comments

I spent five hours on a bus today.  During that time, I watched two movies, one on my Creative Zen Vision M 30 gig player, and one on my Nokia N810.  Here are my impressions:

I watched A River Runs Through It on the Creative device.  I expected to have difficulty watching a movie on such a small screen, and was pleasantly surprised with the experience.  The colors are clear and vibrant, and I had no difficulty keeping up with the action.  I turned the brightness up to 100%, but probably could have been comfortable with less.

After I got home, I turned the movie back on and left the player running to see how far it would get before the battery died.  Including the time on the bus, it played for just over 3 hours before switching off.

Nokia N810 Internet Tablet Review

June 8, 2009 in Gadget Reviews, Product Reviews, Uncategorized by admin | 10 comments

This is a belated followup to my previous post about the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet.  I hadn’t received the tablet when I first wrote about it.  I listed some of its features that made it attractive to me, and promised a review once I had the device in hand.

Here are some photos of the device next to my Creative Zen Vision M (approximately the same size and shape as an iPod Classic) and my Toshiba e330 Pocket PC.

Sorry, the photos were lost in transition.

Here is a list of features I mentioned in my previous post, and my impressions of them in actual use:

Nokia N810 – It’s what’s for Christmas!

December 14, 2008 in Gadget Reviews by admin | 4 comments

School is out, finals are over, and Christmas is just a couple of weeks away, and I’m drooling with anticipation over my soon-to-be latest toy.  Recently, I started thinking about buying a new Pocket PC to replace my 6 year old Toshiba e330.  The Toshiba still works great- I use it to take notes in class with a portable keyboard, but it has neither Bluetooth nor WiFi, and I’d really like to be able to surf the net and check my email on the go.

The Nokia N810

The Nokia N810 is what’s called an internet tablet.  It is not a phone, but it has Bluetooth and WiFi.  It’s about the size of a large cell phone, and is intended, as its name suggests, as a portable internet device.  You can use it to access the internet at a WiFi hotspot, or tether it to your cell phone if you have a data plan.  Although it is not a phone, you can use Skype with it.  Additionally, it has a built-in GPS and mapping software.
