The Blue Ray Player – Future Disk Player

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

blue ray playerThe Blu-ray disc is an optical storage disc used for storing HD information: movies, games and any other pieces of data. Its main competitor in this area was the HD DVD. A major role in this confrontation was played by the launch of the PlayStation 3 console in 2006, which supports the “blue” disc and which also acts as a Blu-ray disc player.

But the novelties brought about by the Blu-ray disc and implicit by the Blu-ray technology doesn’t stop at that. If a HD DVD can hold up to 60 GB of information – that means 15 GB per layer, the “blue” disc has a limit of 200 GB and the possibility to store 25 GB of data per layer. Up to now was released on the market a Blu-ray disc with a maximum capacity of 50 GB, but for the future it is planned to make available a “quad-layer” version – with 100 GB and even a 10 layer disc with the capacity of 250 GB.

For the time being the “blue” disc is sustained by various large companies and by the biggest movie studios: MGM, Walt Disney, Warner Bros, Buena Vista and many others. The good news are that the price of a player has dropped from 3800$ (one of the first available Blu-ray players) to a medium price of 200$ and that now are available many models of “blue” players produced by different companies, such as: Pioneer, Samsung, LG, Loewe, Panasonic and (of course) Sony.

Garmin nuvi 260

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Garmin Nuvi 260 GPSGarmin nuvi 260 is a pleasant looking, if not particularly outstanding, gps unit. Initially we had trouble distinguishing it from the more expensive nuvi 760 that we were testing at the same time. 5-inch touchscreen — there’s also a au$100 more expensive. 3-inch screen — that drives all of the unit’s functions bar power, which is controlled by a dimpled slider switch on the top left corner of the device.

Out the back there’s a moderately sized speaker which has a good volume range — from mouse quiet to denis the sadistic nut loud — but tends to crackle a little when the volume is cranked up. Although not without its quirks, the garmin’s interface is a generally snap to use. Once the device has been booted up, and you’ve whizzed past the safety warning replete with american legalise, you’re presented with the main menu featuring two large icons “where to?” and “view map”, as well as two smaller icons for the configuration and volume screens.

Entering destinations is hampered by the fact that there’s no option to change from the abc on-screen keyboard to the qwerty system we’re more familiar with. If you’ve dived deep into the menu system, it can take quite a few clicks to get back out to the map display — annoying, and potentially dangerous, if you have the need to fiddle with settings at the traffic lights. Our other gripe centres around the map display that by default will omit some streets and details.
