The "New Toys" Thread

i agree, the bigger resolutions are way better. I love the 1680x1050 on my 20" lcd and dont think i can ever go smaller now.

[Buba]

Ohh. I didn't mean to implicate more is better, but the JVC he has has a native resolution of 1366x768 which can't be directly used via PC since 1366 isn't dividable by 8. Those displays usually achieve a 1:1 pixel mapping if you get to them with 1360x768.

That is the only resolution that makes sense and is 100% unscaled and superduper looking. If you would go in via dvi to HDMI it would get possibly scaled, so no good.
I mean moies will still look great, but working with it ewill be hard on your eyes... Although there can be exceptions and the JVCs are really good at processing!

[Overheat]

I'm at 1920x1200 and I wouldn't like to downgrade, truth be told!

i've got a Dell Axim X51v



624mhz Cpu ; 16mb Graphics (Quake III runs on it) ; Wifi & Bluetooth
perfect videoplayer, eBookreader etc.

fluke, i've wanted one of those PDAs but I realize... what the heck am i going to do with a PDA.

So what do you use it for? is it worth the $300-500 it is?

is use it mainly as eBookreader (640x480 display is great) and for playing games while taking a dump
when i'm on the go i use it to watch videos (without reencoding them first) , listen to mp3 (ogg, mpc ...) , use skype/browse the net with an open accesspoint

imho it's worth the money (i paid 300€) as it's nearly usable as a "normal" pc, with a special cable you can even attach a monitor to it (up to 1024x768)

20 days until my Sky HD box is installed, ok guys I may not get my D50 DSLR in time for Goodwood FOS 06. But hopfully I will.

i have the same problem

i bought one primarily for the GPS that was on it, a week later the company gives me a car with integrated GPS

so it's just lying here, doing nothing

How does that work. Do you still get the pocket OS interface or does it look/work more like a normal XP ?

[fluke667]

you still get the windows mobile 5 interface but that looks/works very similar to XP

[tloekke]

The only portable memory I'll ever need... Well, at least for a while... 8GB

[BlaRo]

Just came in the mail today. iRiver H10, 20GB, Trance Red. Sexiness.

[mautzel]

Considered that one as well

[Lilleput]

Got a new workphone today

[TVR_Fan]

I may buy a Fuji FinePix S9500 insted of a D50, but I be deciding up till July. Anyway this is what a Fuji FinePix S9500 looks like:



But a lot of reviews say it will rival a entry level DSLR, like the D50. While being less.

So what does everyone say about the Fuji FinePix S9500.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

The Fuji is a good camera, but now owning a DSLR, there's no way I could go back to a fixed-lens camera.

[Roman]

Hoping to take better pics and steadier vids with this I just got yesterday.

My PC101 looks small on top of it BUT I'll be able to use it with whatever camera I get later on.

[Mischief007]

Love the keyboard.
