Logitech diNovo Mini Keyboard

The Logitech diNovo Mini's elegant in design; it gives the HTPC owner full cursor control; keyboard is well-suited to situational typing; easy set-up; it works with your PS3.Pricey; touch pad occasionally inaccurate; there is no Xbox 360 or Apple support.The price of the diNovo Mini is $150, which admittedly is steep for what's essentially a BlackBerry keyboard with a control pad and a Bluetooth connection., It weighs only 0.4 pound and is roughly three-quarters of an inch high and six inches long. Open it up and you're treated to a small-scale, 61-key keyboard, backlit in either orange or green, depending on the mode of the control pad.Setting up the diNovo Mini is a breeze. It uses a Bluetooth connection and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and it went from the box to up and running on a Vista-equipped PC in less than two minutes. You can install the Logitech SetPoint software if you want to customize the hot key assignments and tweak the mouse cursor speed. It can also work with a PlayStation 3. We can certainly think of tweaks we'd like to see to the design, such as Apple and Xbox 360 support. The diNovo Mini also has dedicated play, volume, and channel hot keys, which work fine for driving Windows-based media, but we'd also like to see some options for controlling your other home theater hardware. We realize that Logitech has its Harmony universal remote controls to sell as well, but we don't think it's too much to ask to let you use the diNovo Mini to at least let you turn off your television.Logitech's diNovo Mini does for home theater PC keyboards what Apple's iPod did to the MP3 player. Granted, there are many more digital music listeners than HTPC owners out there, but if you are a member of the latter category, you'll love the diNovo Mini because it solves one of the main dilemmas of HTPC ownership: how to take full control of your PC and its media functions without relying on multiple or clunky input devices. We'd pay it, though, when the diNovo Mini comes out at the end of February, because the tiny keyboard so effectively addresses what's been a nagging issue for an entire product category.

Overall. Logitech has melded the keyboard of a BlackBerry with a flexible cursor control pad into an attractive, ready package that will let you master your HTPC without cluttering up your living room with clunky hardware The diNovo Mini will comes out at the end of February.

LG Voyager - VX10000 (Verizon Wireless)

The LG Voyager VX10000 has a nice design with a touch screen and a spacious keyboard.It features set includes EV-DO support, V Cast Mobile TV Bluetooth, a top-notch Web browser, and an integrated GPS application. Band / mode: CDMA 800/1900; Combined with: With digital camera / digital player.

You can save contacts to groups and pair them with a photo and any of 21 polyphonic ring tones. There's no field for notes in each contract entry, which is unusual.Other essentials features include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging (the iPhone lacks MMS), a calendar, an alarm clock, a world clock, a stopwatch, a notepad, a tip calculator, and a voice memo recorder. For more demanding users, the Voyager also comes with speaker-independent voice commands and dialing, USB mass storage, instant messaging, and a text-to-speech feature. Bluetooth 1.2 is onboard as well, with profiles for headsets, dial-up networking, file transfer, object push, and A2DP stereo sound (the iPhone doesn't offer a stereo profile). while the handset supports e-mail, the POP3 application isn't as user-friendly as on the iPhone. But it doesn't offer Wi-Fi, particularly since it's so geared for browsing the Internet . It is integrated with 3G is more than adequate for Web surfing. . The Voyager comes with 180MB of shared memory, which is quite generous, but you're better off saving to a memory card. The MicroSD card slot can accommodate cards as large as 8GB. PC syncing for your contacts and calendar is not integrated, which limits the Voyager's usability

As an EV-DO phone, the Voyager supports the full range of Verizon's 3G services, including the V Cast streaming video service and the V Cast music store. The music player interface has been fine. In addition to entertainment applications, the Voyager also comes preloaded with Verizon's VZ Navigator GPS service.The speakerphone can be activated one of two ways: by opening the Voyager when you're on a call, or by dialing a number with the handset open. In either case, you can then deactivate the speakerphone by closing the Voyager or by pressing the dedicated button next to the internal navigation toggle.

There's also a 2.5x digital zoom (unusable at the highest resolution), spot metering, a brightness control, a night mode, a self timer, and three shutter sounds (plus a silent option). . The controls are easy to use, as long as you can access those buttons on the left spine--remember, you must have the Voyager fully open--and you're careful not to confuse them with the soft keys. With a full HMTL browser, the Voyager offers a great surfing experience that almost rivals the iPhone's. The external display renders full Web pages in all their glory; there are no clunky WAP pages to be seen. It won't support flash but you can click through multiple pages, view photos, and select links at will.The LG Voyager VX10000 has a rated battery life of 4 hours talk time and 20 days standby time.

Though the LG Voyager VX10000's camera lacks some options as a flash and Wi-Fi and the streaming video quality and EV-DO connection speed were uneven, the Voyager's sleek design, generous feature set and excellent performance make it the best LG messaging and multimedia phone.

This wonderfully styled 13 inch laminator is capable of laminating documents using pouches as thin as 3mil and as thick as 10mil and is available for less than $200. With its features, the Lamitek Photosmart 13 really shines in its class. Here are few things to note about the Photosmart 13 ...

1. The Photosmart 13 laminator utilizes unique patented technology to provide superior lamination of digital photographs.

Most other pouch laminators that use both heat plates and heated rollers cost three to five times as much as the Photosmart 13 laminator.

Tare Zameen Par Movie Review

Another great movie from producer, director and of course actor Mr. Aamir Khan. This is a movie where everyone can associate with. It is a movie where every mother, father and child can associate with it. A short brief, the movie is based on a dyslexic child's -Ishaan Avasthi (Darsheel Safary) journey from home to boarding school, some triggering movements and finally outcome of the tremendous talent within him. The movie emphasizes on psychological parameters related to the inability of the student to cope up with the student education and the attitude of parents & the teachers towards the kid.

The performance of each of the characters – prominently the kid, his parents & brother & the teacher is highly impressive. Emotionally soothing tune has been filled in at the right places to induce tears in eyes of the viewer. Yeah, the movie may not go well with heartless folks. The cinematography, the stills & the overall package looks very well presented & highly polished.

On the whole, The movie offers an advice to all parents / teachers to move away from stereotyped mode of thinking to a more refined one, when dealing with kids / students who are not able to cope with the educational sage.The tag line: “Every Child is Special” sums up this very nicely.

Finally, I would give Aamir Khan 5 star for making such 'Awesome' film. It is a must see film.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 (silver)

It looks attractive with the new display, great performance and pictures. One thing i don’t like is there buttons, they are very small. But the interface is new and with fast performance, and great pictures, the DSC-W80 fit in my budget. The type of Digital Camera is Ultracompact. The resolution for this Digital camera is 7.2 megapixels and it has a optical zoom: 3x The price range varies between 169.99$-299$ depending upon the camera you choose from the Sony cyber-shot DSC-W80 series.

The DSC-W80 has a newer interface than the other W-series Cyber-shots. The camera’s tweaked system is much more colorful. The DSC-W80 might look like simple, shiny camera with a standard 7-megapixel sensor and 3X Zoom lens but once you start shooting with this camera, the W80 proves itself. The enhanced menu includes more media-friendly features than any other W-series camera, like high-definition slide shows with MP3 music support and in-camera image retouching.

It also includes includes more useful features like optical image stabilization, ISO 3200 maximum sensitivity, and face-detecting autofocus and autoexposure. It is much faster and far better than the W35 and W55’s. If you keep to ISO 800 or lower you can count on better pictures. I like all the features except the buttons. They are tiny and placed at too-sensitive control pad. I would say the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W800 is much better than the other Cyber-shot W-series. But little expensive. The solid picture quality and fast performance makes it great choice to buy for a reliable Digital snapshot camera.

Introducing the PC200 Plastic Spiral Coil Binding Machine

One of the newest binding machines added to the Mybinding.com site is the PC200 plastic spiral coil binding machine. At first glance it might seem that this is just yet another coil binding machine. However, the PC200 has one important feature that sets it apart from all of the other spiral coil binding machines that we carry. The PC200 Coil Binding machine is the first commercially available personal coil binding machine with fully disengageable punching pins.

If you haven’t done a lot of coil binding, this may not seem like it is a big deal. Actually for most users it isn’t a huge deal. However, the fact that the PC200 has fully disengageable pins allows users to bind documents that they cannot bind on any of the other coil binding machines on the market (including the Akiles CoilMac line of binding machines). Most of the coil binding machines on the market only allow you to disengage three or four pins. These machines allow you to bind the most common sizes of documents. However, if you want to bind a custom sized document or photobook you are likely to run into trouble. With the PC200 you can bind any length of document that you want.

One of the best features of coil is that coil binding supplies are readily available and reasonably priced in custom lengths. However, in order to take advantage of this great feature you need a machine that can bind custom sized documents. With the PC200 you can bind documents that are both shorter and longer than 11” (up to a maximum of 21” in length). For documents or projects that are less than 11 inches you simply have to pull the correct pin to ensure that you don’t have a half at the edge of your page. For documents that are longer than 11 inches you can use the open throat design of the PC200 to punch your documents in two passes.

Comparing the Unibind XU138 with the Unibind Photobook Creator

With the recent release of the Unibind Photobook Creator we have had a number of customers ask us about the differences between the Photobook Creator and the Unibind XU138 Binding Machine. In particular they want to know why we don't carry the Unibind Photobook Creator. The easiest way to answer that question is with a quick comparison of the Unibind XU138 and the Photobook Creator.

1. Binding Ability: The Unibind XU138 is fully compatible with all of the different types of binding supplies that Unibind made. Specifically, the XU138 Binding Machine is able to bind books using Unibind Steelback Spines, Unibind Steelbook Hard Covers, Unibind SteelCrystal Covers and Unibind SteelMat Covers as well as Unibind Photobooks. The Unibind Photobook creator is only capable of binding Unibind SteelBook Hard Covers and Unibind Photobooks. If you try to bind any other type of Unibind covers or spines in the Unibind Photobook Creator you will most likely have problems with the bind. The Unibind Photobook Creator does not have the support necessary to bind any non hard covered book.

2. Volume: The Unibind Photobook creator is specifically designed for the home consumer market and is not designed to hold up to any volume of binding. If you are only looking to bind five or ten documents as craft projects then the Unibind Photobook creator might be a good option. However, companies and users who plan on binding even moderate volumes should not consider the Unibind Photobook Creator.

3. Quality: As I mentioned above the Unibind Photobook creator is not designed for volume applications. However, it is also important to point out that it is not built with the same quality as the Unibind XU 138. In fact, Unibind only offers a 90day warranty on the Photbook Creator where they offer a 1 year warranty on all of the other machines that they produce.

4. Binding Time: The Unibind Photobook Creator is only designed to use with one cover at a time and takes almost twice as long to bind each document as the XU138. Of course Unibind doesn't mention this fact in their marketing of the Photobook creator.

At MyBinding we pride ourselves in only carrying products that we feel that we can stand behind for our customers. Unfortunately, at this point we don't feel that we can stand behind the Unibind Photobook creator so we have decided not to carry it. Instead, we suggest you take a look at the high quality Unibind XU138 binding machine.
