TomTom GoLive 820

TomTom GoLive 820

Perhaps the new TomTom GoLive 820 GPS system may be what he needs? As well as offering all of the usual GPS facilities, TomTom now include live traffic updates – as frequently as every two minutes – to help you to get you your destination in the quickest possible time.

How does a portable hands free speakerphone that does double duty as an external speaker for your music on your mobile phone sound as a gift idea? And it even acts as an emergency battery charger for your mobile phone as well? That’s exactly what the Uniden BTS200 does.

Yes, it’s a hands free speakerphone that connects with your mobile phone or computer (or other bluetooth enabled device) and lets you conduct your phone calls in a hands free mode, with better sound quality than most phones can offer, because it has bigger and better speakers than your phone will have. Being connected to your phone or computer, it also can be used in place of the built in speakers for playback of music or movie soundtracks, and the removable battery has a USB port that lets you plug it directly into your phone to give it a boost if the phone’s battery has died.

The Western Digital TV Live Hub is a very compact and stylish media centre that I think most dads would enjoy. Coming with 1GB of internal storage, it can also load from within your home network and play them on any connected tv set.

Although it’s been discontinued by HP (pulled from the market almost as soon as it was released, in fact) HP’s WebOS based Touchpad tablet might make a great present for dad if you can find one and get it for a good (sub $150) price point. It offers a great browsing experience, there’s a kindle reader available, and it can handle email as well. Great for casual use within the home environment, say while watching tv, as long as you’re not going to paying too much for it.

Although wireless ADSL 2 modems are very commonplace today, they’re not always suitable for everyone, nor might they be suitable for all environments. If you live in a larger, multi-storey dwelling, for instance, the wireless signals from you modem might not be strong enough to give you good reception throughout the whole of your house. In that case, perhaps something like NetGear’s Powerline AV500 may be useful. This is a network adapter that plugs into your home’s main power line circuit (using a pair of pre-existing power points) and sends the ethernet signals using the mains power wiring. It’s actually like magic, but works very well, and can extend the reach of your home network without exposing you to a risk of being hacked by passers-by in the way the an unsecured wireless network can.

Hopefully, some of the ideas that we’ve presented will be of use to you as Fathers’ Day approaches.

HP came in top of the pile as being the most reliable systems in the field, ahead of Apple and Asus.

]]> Message In A Bottle https://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/message-in-a-bottle/ Sun, 01 Aug 2010 11:50:56 +0000 http://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/?p=1502 On Monday last, Sydney had the pleasure of welcoming the Plastiki into her harbour.

In case you’re not aware, the Plastiki is a 60 foot catamaran, constructed from recycled materials such as plastic bottles, and was completing a voyage from San Francisco to Sydney. Conceived by David de Rothschild, the voyage was designed to highlight the need for us to consider how we use and dispose of plastic materials in this modern, throwaway world that we live in.

During the week I had the pleasure of meeting with Plastiki’s skipper, Jo Royle, and David, and got to hear about some of the ways that modern technology helped them to design and build the boat, as well as help them throughout the journey from San Francisco to Sydney.

As already noted, the boat is constructed largely from plastic bottles. For instance, 12500 of them were used in the hull. But there’s more: the sails, for instance, were made from a fabric made from recycled PET bottles. The design of the cabin was modeled from the characteristics of the African Namib beetle, so that it could help them produce the fresh water needed by the crew through the duration of the journey from the US.

But their on board technology was essential to the success of the journey. HP Computers and Inmarsat satellite communications kept them in touch with the rest of world, ensuring their safety throughout the voyage.

At the welcome press conference, David de Rothschild related a story about just how much they relied upon the communications systems, and how well they worked. Here’s an excerpt from that press conference where David describes a particularly busy morning.

The Plastiki will be on display at the Sydney Maritime Museum throughout the month of August 2010.

While it won’t quite fit in your pocket, this tiny projector, aimed at those who have a need to make presentations on the go, is truly small and lightweight, and easy to throw into your laptop bag, ready to use at a moment’s notice.

The appearance of the unit is very handsome, and very high quality, being enclosed within a solid aluminium casing. Connection was simple, with just a power cable and a VGA connection for the signal.

The projected image was very clean and crisp, provided that you kept the length of your projection throw no greater than about two meters. Focus adjustment was very easy, made by a small lever on the top of the projector, just behind the lens’s front.

Height adjustment was made using an adjustable foot towards the front on the base.

Also on the base is a standard tripod thread, and an included tabletop tripod increased the available height adjustments, but to my mind, at the expense of the unit’s stability. Both the power and signal connectors live on the same side of the projector, and when it’s mounted on this tripod, it felt a little top heavy and unstable, and seemed to me to be prone to be easily knocked over.

While it wasn’t likely to fall any great distance, this seemed to me to be a potential issue in terms of how presentable it might make a user look, if the projector happened to topple over mid-presentation.

But if you have a need to visit clients and make presentations, then this is a great way to travel.

]]> November 8, 2009 – Reach Out & Touch Something https://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/november-8-2009-reach-out-touch-something/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:45:07 +0000 http://www.gadgetgrill.com.au/?p=1093 Touch is the next big thing in computers and pretty soon you’ll be able to throw away that mouse and just put your fingers all over your screen. That’s right, the technology that science-fiction writes have more or less been promising us for ages is now actually here and we’ve been playing with it.

Plus you can learn what a boffin is (and the associated news about the baby translator software they’ve made), the importance of radio compared to mp3s, and digital movies not on an optical media.

And we’re obsessed with Bumblebee this week. Or Leigh is anyway. Lots of buzzing in this episode and a whole lot more!

Like the music we played? Here’s what it was…

  1. Yoko Kanno & Tim Jenson – GET9 (Naked) (from “GET9”)
  2. Dot Allison – Colour Me (from “Afterglow”)
  3. Under The Influence Of Giants – Mama’s Room (from “Under The Influence Of Giants”)
  4. Alison Krauss – The Boy Who Wouldn’t Hoe Corn (from “New Favourite”)
  5. Joey DeFrancesco – My Foolish Heart (from “Organic Vibes”)

Next week, we’re delving back into the world of security. See you then on The Gadget Grill!
