Sandisk 4GB Cruzer Mini USB Flash Drive : Monster on the way

Remember the 'old' days when computers had hard drives with less capacity than your smallest USB Flash Drive? I sigh and reminisce of my first computer: an Olivetti 386SX - 16MHz with a 20MB hard-drive and ONE whole megabyte of RAM. Back then, I had the fastest system in my class and with this fact in mind, I would lift my head high as I strolled through school corridors...we've come a long way since then (I hope!).

Sandisk 4GB Cruzer Mini USB Flash Drive Image Link

In the next couple of weeks, the Sandisk 4GB Cruzer Mini USB Flash Drive will reach our shores. Imagine, with the 4GB Sandisk Cruzer Mini you'll be able to store around 1000 songs, around 1500 of your favourite photos, or even 10,000 Word documents! Great for professionals and students who don't want to be lugging around an external hard drive around with them! Too bad they won't get in before the end of the financial year!

Features of the Sandisk 4GB Cruzer Mini USB Flash Drive:

Compact Drive PD70X : Ultra Fast Portable Storage Device!

CompactDrive PD70X - Ultra Fast Portable Storage Device

The World's Fastest Portable Storage Device (PSD), the Compact Drive, is now even faster at 16MB/s*. With the new Compact Drive PD70X you can transfer a 1GB card in under 2 minutes!

A new DMA (Direct Memory Access) chip is now solely dedicated to data transfer. It allows simultaneous reading of data from memory card and writing to the internal hard disk and vice versa, which greatly improves the speed over the traditional PSD "card reader" method of reading from the memory card first and later writing to the hard disk. An advance software algorithm is also in place to transfer information more efficiently than ever before.

Compact Drive PD70X Product Description:
The Compact Drive PD70X is a hard disk based device that backups data (photos, video, documents etc.) from a memory card to the internal hard disk without the need for a computer or external power source. It is extremely useful for people like photographers who shoot a lot of digital photos but do not wish to buy multiple cards. With the CompactDrive PD70X, you can simply download the memory card data into the device and free up the card for more shots. At the end of the day, just connect the CompactDrive PD70X via USB to your computer to access the photos. A CompactDrive PD70X cost less than a tenth of the cheapest memory card of similar capacity, so why buy multiple memory cards when a CompactDrive PD70X is all you ever need.

Longer Battery Life, Dual Voltage Regulator Better Support For MicroDrive
- Transfer more than 50GB on 1 set of batteries
Dual voltage regulator now ensures regulated voltage supply to hard disk and internal circuitry.No worries about low voltage shutdown problems or hard disk damaged by high voltage. The regulators also ensure a more efficient power management system, resulting in longer operating time. A dedicated power supply is also now connected to the MicroDrive slot. This supply is able to provide up to 800mA current which is more than sufficient to handle future high current draw memory cards (current MicroDrives only draw 400mA)

Memory Cards Supported By the CompactDrive PD70X:
- CompactFlash Type I & II
- MicroDrive
- Seagate ST1 5GB Drive
- Secure Digital
- Multi Media Card
- Memory Stick
- Memory Stick Pro
- SanDisk Memory Stick, MS Pro
- xD Picture Card

via additional adaptor:
miniSD, RS-MMC, TransFlash, Memory Stick Duo. Pro Duo, SanDisk MS Duo, MS Pro Duo

Mr.Gadget BLITZ 256 Card Disk rated "Super,super cool" by APC Magazine!

Mr.Gadget BLITZ 256 Card Disk is UBER COOL!

While going through my pile of snail-mail that I had amassed during my two week overseas trip, I noticed that my July APC Magazine subscription had arrived. I remembered we sent one of their gadget reviewers, Dan Warne, a Mr.Gadget BLITZ 256 Card Disk for review in his Down Time Section, so I quickly paged through to that area. To my delight, our BLITZ 256 card was awarded with the rating of "UBER" which translates to 'super, super cool'! It also received 4.5 out of 5 stars!

Here's an excerpt, taken from his review:

Dan Warne, Downtime, APC Magazine,
July 2005 : Page 121


"For once in electronics, bigger is better - this thing is much harder to lose than a USB key. The USB connector is cleverly integrated into the card itself via a fold-out ribbon cable."

Navman ICN 510 GPS V3 : Easy GPS for your car!

"But you said turn right!", he says through his teeth.
"I meant after the traffic lights!" she yells, equally frustrated and stressed as the car comes to a sudden halt. Many of us, I'm sure, have been in this navigational nightmare, but with the increasing amount of consumer GPS units on the market the stress of driving can be significantly reduced.

I've been using various GPS units for around a year now (mostly different versions of Navman and CoPilot) and can say that for the most part, I get to my destinations faster, with less frustration and my relationships with my passengers in tact! There's a great forum on GPS devices at Mtekk.

The Navman iCN 510 encapsulates Navman style and quality in a compact system that delivers leading edge road navigation. What's the difference with the Navman ICN 510 and others? Well the main ones that I see are it3.5 inch colour display and 3D map views. I used Navman GPS units before and can testify that they're great for both GPS novices or veterans.

Features of the Navman ICN 510 GPS:
- Ideal for in-car operation with intuitive touch-screen

San Jose, California USA - Lovely 24 degrees today

Here I am back in the U.S. Once again I'm sitting in Star Bucks at the Great Mall in San Jose, waiting for my wife to finish shopping.

The weather is currently a beautiful 24 degrees celsius, with a light breeze and mostly clear skies. According to the last weather update on my PDA (WorldMate Pro) it says that Melbourne's weather today will be a cold 13 degrees with showers - no prizes for guessing where I would prefer to be at this current moment.

I'll be back in the office on Monday, but it's business as usual in regards to orders - they're being pushed out as quickly as possible.

Here's a couple of pictures from the Silicon Valley:

Great Mall, San Jose.
Great bargains, great shopping, great American fast food! Here's a picture of me getting a Chinese massage; two words: never again. It was far from relaxing and more like Chinese torture.


Borders Bookstore, San Jose.
Stocked up on some businessie type books (got one on avoiding dysfunctional teams), bookmarks and gadget magazines.


In and Out Burgers, San Jose
Amercian fast food at its best! The guys at In and Out only serve THREE different value meals and make fries fresh. Very popular burger joint in California.


A street in Milpitas, California
Nestled amongst the distinctive sun-burnt Calaveras Hills, Milpitas is a suburb adjoining San Jose. Around a 1 hour drive from San Francisco and home to some of my favourite relatives, this would be one of the places in the U.S. where I would consider living.
Despite the huge possibilities in the U.S., I still call Australia home and can't wait to be back in Melbourne!

Queen's Birthday Holiday Australia - Office closed this Monday

HM Queen Elizabeth II - Happy Birthday!

I was just reminded that our office will be closed this Monday due to the Queen's Birthday Holiday which is celebrated in Australia. After a bit of Googling, I've rediscovered that the Queen's birthday is in fact on April 21st and not this coming June 13th!

According to Wikipedia.com, the Queen's birthday is celebrated at this time because there are not enough winter holidays! It also states that the occasion is used to signify the start of the skiing season and to honour newest members of the "Queen's Birthday honours list", of which new members are inducted into the Order of Australia.

Whether it's the exact date or not, we wish Her Majesty a happy 79th birthday!

Google GMail Accounts up for grabs

Google Gmail for Gadgeteers!

Sick of running out of space with your current Hotmail or Yahoo account? Yes? Good news. I've got 50 invitations for 2GB email accounts!!

You may have heard of the Google Gmail accounts that have been in beta mode for the last couple of months with a considerable 1GB of storage available. The catch? Google shows advertisements based on keywords that appear in your emails...not a bad price to pay, if you ask me.

In order to get a Gmail account, you need someone who already has one, to send you an invite. I was fortunate to have a couple of friends who are well connected and got mine early last year. Mailbox sizes have now been bumped up to 2GB, which makes it even more enticing.

I now have 50 invites sitting in my account ready to go!

If you are a registered and subscribed Mr.Gadget customer, just email gmail@mrgadget.com.au and I'll send one your way.

O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K Screen Protector by Expert Shield

O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K Screen Protector by Expert Shield

I've already dropped my O2 XDA IIs far too many times than I'd like, but thankfully I've got a protective leather case and not to mention one of the world's best screen protectors!

Speaking of which, we're excited to have just received our very first batch of Expert Shield screen protectors for the O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K after sampling/testing some a couple of weeks ago.

We believe that these are made from the exact same silicon-based material as the Exim screen protectors that we currently sell, but found that these were easier to install. This was due to the more thought-out packaging and installation instructions.

Over the last few months we've had more than one customer who complained how hard the Exim's were to install so now we've got a screen protector that's just as good, easier to install and a little cheaper! If you don't have one already get one of these O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K screen protectors by Expert Shield!

Information on Expert Shield Screen Protectors for the O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K:

Expert Shield designs and precision cuts each protector to the exact screen size of the O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K PDA display. The screen protectors can be removed and reapplied without leaving any residue on the screen surface. Expert Shield guards against scratches, dust and fingerprints, providing a "Brand New" look for your mobile LCD display even after years of use.

Features of the Expert Shield Screen Protector for the O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K:

- Precision cut for the PDA screen
- Protect the screen from scratches and fingerprints
- Non-adhesive cling - No air bubbles
- Easy to apply and reuse - No residue

The Expert Shield screen protectors use their CrystalClear technology:
CrystalClear screen protectors are designed to provide the highest transparency for applications where light diffusion is not tolerable. Many PDAs do not have strong backlighting and therefore the attached light source may be too dim to use with GlareFree screen protectors. CrystalClear allows the attached light source to shine through while the surface layer protects against abrasions from the stylus.

CrystalClear offers a smooth and crisp writing surface similar to the original PDA screen. The hard coating is highly durable and protects the original screen against all kinds of scratches and abrasions from keys, coins and other sharp objects. CrystalClear feels and looks like the original screen and is highly transparent. Users who prefer the touch and feel of the original screen will choose CrystalClear.

How to install your O2 XDA IIs / iMate PDA2K Screen Protector by Expert Shield:
Step 1:
Clean the mobile phone screen screen surface thoroughly to ensure that there are no dust particles, fingerprints or other contaminants. Make sure to finish with a lint-free dry cloth so that the surface is fully dry before you apply the protector. (Oil or wet particles are difficult to remove when trapped between the protector and the screen.)

Step 2:
Remove a portion of the screen protector's plastic backing from the top down. Be careful not to touch or expose the underside of the screen protector to dust or fingerprints.

Step 3:
The screen protector is precision cut to fit the phone screen. For a perfect fit, align carefully the screen protector along one edge of the phone screen, and make sure that it is square against the edge. Slowly peel off the rest of the backing and brush down on the screen protector with a dry cloth to allow it to cling to the rest of the screen.

Caution: The screen protector clings to dry surfaces and will attract dust when exposed. Please try not to remove the screen protector from the dust-free screen too many times to avoid dust particles from clinging on the underside of the protector.

i-Rocks IR1100 MP3 FM Transmitter - Play music from your USB Flash Drive!

iRocks IR1100 FM Transmitter Image

By pluggin' in your USB flash drive or MP3 player (or any audio source with an audio output like your PDA or CD player) into the i-Rocks IR-1100 MP3 DJ FM Transmitter and then tuning to the specified FM channel, you can immediately enjoy listening to your favourite digital music over your car stereo.

The i-Rocks MP3 DJ can read MP3 files stored in storage devices and wirelessly transmit your music onto your car stereo with digital stereo quality. There goes the need to purchase expensive MP3 car stereos or the need to keep bulky music CDs! It's simple and easy to use.

Here's a review on the i-Rocks IR-1100 FM Transmitter by one of our gadgeteers, Dennis Pleace (01/06/2005):

i-Rocks IR-1100 FM Transmitter Review

Order was received lightning fast. The I-Rocks MP3 transmitter connects to the car lighter socket. It has variable frequencies that you can tune your FM radio to that are indicated by the combination of 4 LED's Ranging from 88.1 to 107.9 Mhz.

It came with a side USB and top USB connector. The top unit you plug the USB flash card (memory stick). It has an audio plug next to it for MP3 players, I-Pods etc.

One lead has a USB plug and clip on the end. This is not explained in the documentation but is needed if the radio antenna of your car is at the back away from the player. You need to plug it into the side USB socket and it acts as a booster aerial. If not used the sound quality is very poor. If your radio antenna is at the front you don't need to use it.

The sound quality is very good.

One bad point if you use a large flash drive to store your songs( 1 gig will hold 200 to 300 songs) every time you stop and start the car the songs restart from the beginning. You can only skip forward and back one song per press it does not have a random or remember last played song feature. If you use an MP3 player the player itself will do the sorting.

It really is simple and easy to use.

Features of the i-Rocks IR-1100 MP3 Car DJ FM Transmitter:
- Compact size
- Simple fingertip file selection with Play (Pause), Previous, Next & Channel Select buttons
- Built in FM stereo transmitter
- Conforms to USB Version 1.1 and is compatible with Version 2.0
- Supports mass storage USB flash drive devices

Socket Mobile Power Pack : A must for road warriors!

Socket Mobile Power Pack Image

Anyone who wants to be able to charge up their PDA, laptop, mobile phone or MP3 player on the road, must consider the new Socket Mobile Power Pack. We got a batch in today and I quickly set aside one for me to test with my pocketPC (O2 XDA IIs). Process was very straight forward: charged up the Socket Mobile Power Pack, connected up my O2 XDA IIs via a O2 XDA IIs USB Synch 'n' Charge Cable and voila, my pocketPC was steadily charged! This is coming with me to the U.S. on Friday, that's for sure!

Here's a picture of my O2 XDA IIs getting charged by the Socket Mobile Power Pack:
