Ruvo Avox A65U1 UMPC - The Unboxing Review

 Ruvo Avox

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.

YellowMosquito Qingbar GP300 on yours truly.

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.

Protect your iPod without the Bulk - Sleevz iPod Cases from RadTech

SleevzHaving just picked up a brand new 160GB iPod Classic, I’m 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 Ratech’s 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 iPod’s dock port and the sleeve remains open at the top for fitting and compatibility with other accessories.

 

We’re 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 iPod’s 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.

HomeStar ProEver since I was a child I have dreamed of having my very own planetarium and Segatoys appear to have finally created a device to make that dream a reality: The HomeStar Pro.

 

The HomeStar Pro is a small spherical device that can project 10,000 stars on your ceiling or wall at home - just like a real planetarium. The unit is portable and the teacher in me thinks the HomeStar Pro would be an ideal teaching aid to learn about our universe.

Eton FR1000Eton's FR1000 is a self-powered hand crank radio that allows you to stay informed even when all regular means of power are exhausted. Not only does this unit allow you to tune into AM, FM and weather band frequencies, but it also has a built in Voicelink for two way communication, ala walkie-talkie.

 

The FR1000 also features a flashlight, a beacon light that can function as an SOS signal, and a siren. All of which can be powered by a twist of a crank. Awesome.
