Fujifilm Finepix Xp10 review

I got Fujifilm Finepix xp10 to replace my previous underwater / shockproof Canon D10, which died after about 8 months for no apparent reason. When I got the D10, it was the only low-cost point-and-shoot I could find for light underwater use, which made it good in its own way, but the electronics and sensor and etc. were already a couple of years out of date on the Canon, plus it was really big and bulky.

I don’t do serious underwater work, but do want a camera I can take out in the rain and occasionally in a swimming pool or to the beach, without worrying about it. Also with small kids, the likelihood of a camera getting dropped is high, so a sturdy model is key.

This little Fujifilm advertises the same kind of water- and shock-proof characteristics as the Canon, but it’s a whole lot more modern in its features, and a whole lot smaller, which is great. I haven’t used it underwater yet, but for everyday use it takes good pictures.

A few issues I have with it. One, the cable connector is nonstandard. It should be mini-USB, like so many other things – I keep a mini USB hanging off my computer anyway, and if I lose a mini USB cable it’s easy to find another, vs. the Fuji cable which doesn’t match anything else I own.

Second, the mechanicals are not quite as polished as I’d like. The waterproof cover for the cable connector doesn’t seat well – it’s very hard to get in. And the battery cover has a strange hinge device that was confusing to figure out and I fear will not last well, since I have to open it frequently to extract the memory card, because the cable connector is nonstandard and hard to reseal.

All in all I would still recommend Finepix xp10, and I hope these few flaws get corrected in a future model.

Perfect Rice Cooker for me

It ‘s Aroma ARC-838TC 8-Cup Digital Rice Cooker & Food Steamer and cooks my rice perfect every time. It’s important to always use there measurment guides. There cup size measures differently from traditional measures. (measuring cup is included). For those who complain about the rice sticking to the bottom of pan (reviews from Target website), the directions do state to add an extra cup of water – depending on the type of rice being cooked. Also, little things like if you rinse your rice also make a big difference, because it reduces starches and nutrients.

Not to mention that if you are cooking your typical white rice (long-grain) always get rice that has been imported from Thialand, never rinse it. The rice is of better quality, cooks better and tastes great. You can buy Jasmine brand at Walmart $4 for a 5 lb bag, or find a specialty store. The Aroma rice cooker is just wonderful, I started out with a black n’ decker brand and was very disappointed with it. It would cook veggies great, but the rice always held to much water. It was on of those clear open steamers.

It was my first try at a rice/food steamer. In a way I am glad I waited a while to get another steamer, because you couldn’t pick one up with a timer without spending a ton more money. I cook rice almost everyday, and by the time I get home from work my rice has already switched over to the warm setting. All I have to do is cook up my chicken on the grill or stirfry it and my family is ready to eat. Truely a great steamer from a good price. You won’t be disappointed.

Weve had this monitor for 9 months now and still use it on a daily basis.We also use an audio monitor for our son (different room) and havent had any trouble with them interfering with each other.

iPad,A leap in the right direction.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51kT-5mHevL.jpg

http://ipad-for-student.blogspot.com/

I’ve now spent the better part of a day playing with the new iPad, and while it excels in many things there are still some things anyone considering buying one should probably keep in mind.

First the good sides:

This thing is very fast, opening and closing applications is quick, the screen is incredibly responsive, there is no lag while typing, and the built in Safari browser does a great job of quickly loading even graphic intense pages.

The not so good sides:

As has been thoroughly pointed out, there is not presently much in the way of multitasking within the iPhone OS, but with most expectations pointing towards a summer release of OS 4.0 this might be remedied by mid summer, and almost certainly by a generation 2 release. That said, it should be kept in mind that on such a little screen being able to view multiple applications at once will likely never be something you’ll use, and the speed by which you can open and close applications makes this less a headache than you might think. It isn’t as fast as moving between open apps, but it isn’t a deal breaker by any means. The lack of a camera in this generation is a little surprising, while I’ve purchased my iPad already, I honestly believe that with the number of competitors expected over the course of 2010 we’re probably going to see a generation 2 by Christmas with a camera. It’s still an amazing device, but the ability to video chat with it would definitely put it over the top, that’s a feature worth waiting for. The lack of Flash support isn’t as irritating as I expected it to be, but still something to consider. Many major sites have evolved to html5, or are in the process of doing so. This allows for full viewing by the Safari browser, and where it exists, it works great. The remaining sites still using Flash show up with annoying little boxes looking for a plugin that is likely never going to exist. If you spend a lot of time on flash heavy sites it really probably is worth considering holding out to see how the Slate/Android Tablets look in a few months, but if you’re mostly just e-mailing and checking facebook (no Farmville) the lack of Flash support probably won’t bother you too much.

As a laptop replacement:

The inclusion of the iWorks utilities gives this device a little bit of a laptop personality. Don’t let that persuade you into believing that you don’t need a computer though. You might be able to get away with ditching a laptop if all you really do is e-mail or very light word processing, but if you do anything more than that you’ll like the freedom and ease a full computer offers for more complex tasks. That said, this device is a tremendous leap towards a future tablet style device that may very well be a replacement for your computer, but for now it is more of a casual use device than something you can really expect to do substantial work with. I have put together a presentation in keynote, which was easy enough to do, but pages isn’t as intuitive as I’d have liked, and taking lengthy notes or writing long letters/e-mails/reports will probably make it worth considering buying either the keyboard dock or the wireless bluetooth keyboard.

Battery life seems to live up to the claims, I managed to get about 7 hours before getting the 20% remaining battery life indication, which puts it about right for 10 hours or so of total use. One very important thing to realize about charging the device is that presently (at launch) there is some issues with charging via USB from many computers. The iPad is different than other iPod products, it requires a bit more power to charge up, and unfortunately most USB ports aren’t set up to support that higher power draw. This is something that may be fixed in a firmware update to allow for a slower charge, or it may simply be that you’ll need to either rely on a new Mac (seems like they can handle the power issue) or rely on the wall charger. Just don’t be surprised if you plug it into your computer and it doesn’t show that it is charging.

All in all, the iPad is an impressive device that might make for a reasonable replacement of a netbook for casual users. For people who need something to really do a lot of work on, you may find that for the price that a netbook or laptop still offers the better value for your needs. Future generations of this device will probably transition into fitting that market better than this first generation. However, if you’re an avid reader, casual gamer, music fan, who doesn’t do much more on the web than check a few sites, and e-mail. This thing is definitely worth considering! If you’re on the fence, nothing about this product is so incredible as to justify running out and buying one right now, but it is worthy of your consideration if you’re thinking you might like a tablet style device. I definitely would encourage you to go play with one at best buy or an apple store to get a feel for it. With a number of competitors due out over the next few months we’re likely to see some price movement, or a second generation release, so it may be worth it to wait it out a little while.

One final note, the screen is absolutely gorgeous while it is turned on. It is crisp, bright, and very easy to see from any angle. But when you turn it off, every finger print and swipe is suddenly very visible (while it is on the light is bright enough you don’t see them fingerprints). If you are a neat freak, or just hate finger prints on your devices you’ll have to invest in some microfiber cloths or get used to using your shirt sleeve!

In conclusion, it’s a lot of fun, and I’m not the least bit sorry to have bought one. It does many things, and over the next months will do many more. If you think you want one, go play with one, and if you don’t want to wait for a next generation this one is definitely awesome. If you have specific needs that aren’t really addressed in this generation or by apple, don’t let the hype or peer pressure bully you into this one, there are a number of devices coming with great potential, one of those might be a better fit.

Looking for IPAD SALE?Buy Cheap ipad sale online

A brief ipad sale review is as below. iPad is basically a device that fills the space between iPod touch and laptops. Though there are a lot of speculations over it, I will put down the the pros and cons for you to decide on your own. If you ask me, I love the device like anything. In my opinion, it’s an edge over all netbooks and the colorless kindle eBook readers too. The style, elegance, ease of use that Apple has provided with it is incomparable.

Pros of Apple iPads

http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu8/happysteps/ipad-multitouch.png

1. Great Starting Price – For a power packed iPad, $ 499 is a decent promotional price to start with. Quite a dealmaker. Everyone expected it to start from $ 599 and above.
2. Sleek weight and Size – iPad being 1.5 pounds in weight and 0.5 inches is awesome. The sleekness quotient of Apple lineage of products took off with this one. It couldn’t be handier.
3. iPad Applications- The iPod applications and iTunes store, now on the bigger screen looks even more beautiful. 140,000 apps are already in the offing from the App Store with a dedicated section for apps designed specifically for iPads.
4. iBooks -Once you have downloaded the application, it’s a breeze to buy iBooks. And they automatically gets arranged on your virtual bookshelf. And in a typical Apple style, you can tap on the desired book to open up for you.
5. Bigger, Better Photo viewing – What’s more amazing is that you can do everything with photos like in an iPhone touch. Simply tap, pinch, zoom in and out, flip and more. You would love the sharp, crisp screen which is so very apple. The Camera Connection Kit also lets import photos from a SD memory card or a camera.
6. The iWork apps work on Mac too- iWork apps for only $9.99 are superb add ons too. Package deal options could make it more desirable.
7. Traditional Keyboard accessory – There always have been school of people resenting the virtual keyboard usage. Now Apple has thoughtfully provided a traditional keyboard along with it, in case you are more comfortable using it. This may make it a little less portable but is a big deal for many. And otherwise, the virtual keyboard is as big as the real one as well.
8. No cellular contract – Yes! no cellular contract is required for the two options for 3G. 250 mb is available for $ 14.99 and for the unlimited data its just $ 29.99.

Cons of 1st Gen iPads

1. Adobe Flash Player – Flash files do make things slow and limiting. This was understandable with iphones but not with iPads. The blue question mark for no flash players is a frustrating thing to see. No one can have a great Web surfing experience without Flash. Apple needs to sort this out with Adobe in whichever way possible or find an alternative with iPad 2.0 soon.
2. Multitasking – The first edition of iPad needs to improve its multitasking abilities. iPads have raised our expectations through the roof. With such a powerful processor, apple should have been able to incorporate multitasking on iPads easily. Like for example, you can’t listen to WunderRadio while reading a book unless of course the station is streaming on Safari. We can put up with the battery life getting shorter, but definitely not without multitasking.
3. HDMI Out – Currently there isn’t any wireless or an HDTV connection to a TV. Apple TV could get easily replaced if there was an HDTV out. It’s a little surprising why they haven’t thought of connecting the two most important appliances. And I am pretty sure it will be added in 2nd generation iPads.
4. Camera Option- A front facing camera for video iChat would be an amazing feature for iPads, adding more utility. This can make it hugely popular with every generation. I’m sure it has to do with the price but a camera option is a must, whatsoever.
5. Widescreen Option- You can tap on a movie to see it in either fullscreen or widescreen. It is not as wide as most widescreen formats are but it doesn’t make a big difference watching movies on it either.
6. AT&T only for 3G- It is great to have no cellular contracts for 3G but the current AT&T’s service has been less than great for iPhone users. This will furthermore clog the network with more devices trying to connect through it. I believe, Verizon could be a more apt alternative for US users.

Well no device is perfect with it’s first generation release. And it is surely likely to improve and have added features on the wishlist. But overall Ipad rocks. I plan to make it my all time companion soon. Don’t you want it too?
