James Allan Brady, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [0]

It’s an HD network multimedia play that is also a PVR and HDTV Tuner. It can playback HD (and I assume SD is no problem either) content from its hard drive, USB ports, or from any computer connected to it via the local area network. Read The Full Story

Back in the good old days if people wanted to remember something they tied a string around their finger to help them. I think that’s where the Multimedia Remote Watch got its inspiration. Sure, now you remember to feed the dog but do you remember where you left the TV remote when you got up to do it? Now you don’t have to remember because it’s always with you. Read The Full Story

Imagine combining the best of the TiVo and the best of a SlinBox all into one and you have a pretty good idea of what Polaroid is offering up with the Freescape. It’s a DVR, is a wirelessly streaming media hub, and it’s a place shifter, it is the ultimate in digital entertainment hardware.

XRoad V4050 dropping stateside

James Allan Brady, Oct 26th 2007 Discuss [0]

Well this is a pretty amazing GPS unit, but is really dependent on price, especially after Nokia released the N810 with integrated GPS. This unit has a 4.3-inch touchscreen and a SiRF Star III chipset, which is as good as it gets in the consumer market. On top of that, there is an SD card slot and a multimedia app that supports MP3, MPEG-4, and JPG files. That’s not a bad list of features, but again, compared to the N810, price will be the major selling point. Read The Full Story

James Allan Brady, Oct 11th 2007 Discuss [0]

Clarion, proof that all it does take to make it in any business is to continually make the best products available, this unit is no different.

Now you might wonder why it would matter if you used a DVD for navigation or not when you only have one screen, well that’s just it, you can add extra monitors to this thing and display two different things from the main screen to the auxiliary ones. So you can navigate your way through hectic traffic while the kids(or chicks, whatever your motivation) in the back watch a DVD all from the same head unit. Read The Full Story
