Travroute has released a Personal Navigation Device, the
Travroute PND. Travroute is the Australian distributor of ALKs (from
U.S.A) CoPilot Live GPS software.
Being a long time fan of the CoPilot Live GPS software for PDA this
is an exciting development - I always wanted the convenience all in one
package with CoPilot Live software.
Personally, I'm hope the Travroute PND will build on the strength of CoPilot Live and prove to be a good all round package

If there is one thing that fascinates me it's flying low and slow and
taking in the scenery below.
I am lucky that I can do that in the
course of my work as an aerial photographer but there are plenty of
places that I haven't been to and love to see from an aerial
perspective.
Belgium is not one of those places. I have flown over
this small country many times when living in Holland but it is one
thing to just fly over it in the course of your work than to be able to
sit back in your lounge chair, to relax and let the whole scenery
unfold before you on a high-definition screen. It is the same
difference as cooking your own meal or going to a top-notch restaurant
for a gourmet dinner.
Belgium, the Movie, subtitled Enjoy Your Flight over Belgium, is such a
gastronomic delight, so to speak. It portrays Belgium as few tourists
(or Belgians!) will ever experience it: flying through Brussels,
following the grand boulevards in your helicopter -- not all that much
higher than treetop level...

Being no stranger to gadgets, travelling and with an almost obsessive desire to pack lightly, I am constantly on the look out for the next best thing to help reduce my gear charging burden when on the move.
Is the powermonkey eXplorer the answer to my recharging needs?
Let's swing into the review and have a look.

The vibrant world of UMPCs has many players, most of them well-known brands, others less so, but probably deserving our attention just the same. In this category you will find the Ruvo Avox, a handsome slider UMPC. Think of it as a Nokia N95 on steroids, but then a lot bigger! The Avox, whilst practically unknown, has a more familiar incarnation as the Gigabyte U60. Are they exactly the same?
We got ourselves the first Avox in Australia, courtesy of Tegatech, the UMPC distributor par excellence down under. They are excited about that little critter and I am beginning to see why!
Please follow me on this unboxing and our subsequent in-depth reviews of the Ruvo Avox.
First off, the Avox is billed as the smallest full-featured PC. In this fluid world of sub-notebooks and UMPCs that claim is probably correct but bragging rights are never long-lived and it is better to judge a device, particularly when it is this small, by its usability. So that will be the main focus of this and the following reviews.
Today we will be looking at the Avox from the unboxing perspective and go into the hardware details.
A next review will highlight the software and performance aspects to be followed by a write-up of all the various accessories that can be bought separately. | |

The hard drive enclosure market is cluttered with offerings, most of which are barely differentiable from each other except in looks.
So what makes Wiebetech's RTX series stand out from the crowd?
DigitalReviews gets to try out the RTX-100H-Q enclosure thanks to Wiebetech.

Exclusive Hands-On Review
DigitalReviews has the pleasure of bringing you an exclusive hands-on review of the world's first wireless video glasses with built-in media player - a totally hands free, mobile private cinema screen viewable through a pair of glasses together with hi-fi audio through high quality earphones. As YelloMosquito describes it, the Qingbar GP3000 is a state-of-the-art device combined with Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) micro displays and media player.
The YelloMosquito Qingbar GP300 was previewed here in November 2007. After taking the scenic postal route over the Christmas break, the Qingbar GP300 arrived in late February 2008 due to the efforts of the extremely helpful and professional staff at YelloMosquito and 22moo.

Having just picked up a brand new 160GB iPod Classic, Im still at the stage where I am desperately trying not to scratch or otherwise harm it. You see, I love the iPods svelte size and shape which means adding a case to it usually destroys the feel of the device.
Enter Ratechs Sleevz.
Sleevz are made with Optex and are soft, tough and most importantly, 0.8mm thin. Sleevz also have a scratch free display window and the debossed control areas allow full use of the click wheel, despite it being completely enclosed. A small cut-out allows access to the iPods dock port and the sleeve remains open at the top for fitting and compatibility with other accessories.
Were not sure how good these feel in the hand (or how well they protect the ipod), but they sure look good. They certainly do seem to keep the iPods shape and size down to a minimum and this, is exactly the way it should be.
Sleevz come in a variety of colours for all 3rd Generation and newer iPods and retail for $20.95US. See RadTech's website for more details. |
