| Lexmark Impact S305 Vizix Wireless All-in-One Printer Posted: 29 Nov 2009 02:47 AM PST As we commented before, all of the new range of Lexmark inkjet all-in-ones use the new print engine Vizix same, so if you pay £ 370 for the Platinum Pro Series Professional 905 or 90 £ for the Impact, reviewed here, you can expect to get the same print quality, speed and cost of consumables. Paper feeds from a fold-in rear tray with a little spring-loaded flap in front that nobody seems able to explain the reason. We used to think it was to prevent dust from falling into the feed slot, but there is still a large space between the paper and this part even when the drawer is fully loaded.
A small slider on the right adjusts the paper width guides, which makes loading photo paper is easier than to plunge into the feed slot. The Contact Image Sensor (CIS) scanner is simple and thin, so adds little to the overall height of the machine and running across its width, so there is no extra space taken by a control group. As with all these new Lexmark all-in-one control panel is a salient angle of the front of the machine. It has a simple and an LCD display, although it is raster, rather than two lines of 16 characters, so may show some graphical information. Nestled at the foot of the front right corner of the machine are two memory card slots, but there is also an outlet PictBridge for direct digital connection that can also take the USB drives. Some rivals have taken to abandoning the PictBridge taken on their machines at low prices, which is strange, given its utility and low cost connector. Despite the relatively low price, the S305 still impact the wireless connection and a USB jack on the back. Wireless setup is fairly simple and the machine supports WEP, WPA and WPA2 security. It comes with a bunch of software support, including a copy of ABBYY FineReader OCR. Ink installation is a doddle, with the four individual cartridges plugging into the semi-permanent head, once you cut up in the carriage head. The machine is compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux, although, as usual, you should download the Linux drivers from the Support Web site. [via trustedreviews] a |
| Posted: 29 Nov 2009 12:31 AM PST The TomTom XL 335S GPS TomTom also includes the Advanced Lane Guidance feature when navigating in the United States. Advanced Lane Guidance provides users with realistic representations of complex highway junctions and track specific visual cues that take the stress of navigating these otherwise difficult areas. The new TomTom XL 335S GPS system has a suggested retail price of $ 239.95.
Tom Tom XL 335S General The TomTom XL 335S GPS Navigation offers a first class competitively priced,” said Jocelyn Vigreux, president of TomTom Inc. “It allows drivers to take routes that only locals know well informed, reducing stress not knowing where to go and when you arrive. In addition, our Advanced Lane Guidance feature allows drivers the information they need to drive more safely and more confidence when traveling through intersections complex. [via letsgodigital] a |

| Toshiba DR19DT Separate PVR DVD Recorder Posted: 28 Nov 2009 08:43 PM PST The DR19DT is the version of DVD recorder combi RD99DT the hard drive, we reviewed earlier this month. Without the hard disk, this version is best suited to those who have habits of recording more casual, or perhaps those who already have a separate PVR, but you want to archive the recordings. Whatever the reason, DR19DT made a play for your wallet with a good range of features at an affordable price, even if we want to know if the operational issues that we found frustrating about RD99DT are not on this Hard-disk version.
The DR19DT comes with a single digital TV tuner and an eight-day EPG. Although it is not classified as a Freeview + recorder, it does not boast the serial key, registration and Split Other features pending. And even if we know it would never happen, two tuners would have given much more flexibility, but as you can only record the channel you are watching. The list of formats supported disc reveals more limitations. You can record on DVD-RW and DVD + RW, as well as write-once DVD-R and DVD + R, but double-layer recording is not supported. This means that the maximum you can fit on one disc is eight hours as opposed to a possible 14, and realize that you must use the lowest quality mode recording (SLP), which we do not recommend. This space will soon fill once you’ve series linked a few programs, you’ll need to keep a big stack of discs of your hand. If all this seems problematic, then we recommend really get their hands on a model with a built-in hard drive. The unit itself shares the same style as the RD99DT with an all black finish and a silver strip through the center of the fascia. It’s far from spectacular, but it is quite tasteful and thin. The display panel is small and basic, however, and only shows the channel number when you watch TV, not the name. The lower half of the fascia is lowered to reveal a bit of reading keys and DV, S-video, composite and stereo analog inputs. Unfortunately you will not find a USB port on the front panel, making this bridge is equipped with multimedia features even more limited than the RD99DT. To play DivX, MP3 and JPEG files you need to burn a DVD or CD first. [via trustedreviews] a |
