Aoc 22′ Lcd Monitor

abyvettoor — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 06:59:58 +0000

AOC’s new 22-inch LCD monitor means the monitor that meets both sytle and performance. I am all impressed with the device’s design and performance.It’s got a piano black glossy finish on the front and diamond cut texture engraved rear cover. The front also sports a silver lining at the bottom and a user-friendly navigation ring. This is one of the few first 22” LCD displays to boast of an HDMI port and is also capable of acting as a standalone media player. Apart from the HDMI ports, this LCD has DVI and D-sub inputs, a 4-in-1 card reader and two USB ports on the side. The USB ports are for the Digital Media Player Engine; you just plug in your media via a pen drive or memory card, and play it keeping the PC out of the equation. The monitor houses two hidden 2W speakers and the output is simply great; loud sound without any blaring even at high volumes.

Creative Muvo T200

abyvettoor — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:16:20 +0000

Creative Muvo T200 is a colorful and lightweight mp3 player which hits the sweet spot with a full color display screen for easy navigation, showing your player status and song titles in one quick glance. With the built-in USB connector you can enjoy the ready thumbdrive feature, where you can download files easily without the need for a cable or any special software.

Creative launched the Muvo T200 following the emergence of super-slim, pebble-sized flash players like the second-gen iPod Shuffle and Creative’s own Zen stone range, you may have thought you’d seen the last of USB-key MP3 players. Creative, along with Sony, is still cranking out players that plug directly into your PC. These can be handy — no cables required — but the need to have a USB plug in the product can add precious millimetres and lead to unimaginative form factors.

The headphones supplied with the player are your standard black cheapo variety, looking and feeling similar to the version accompanying Samsung’s recent players: black earbuds with removable foam cushions that require a bit of effort to wedge into your ear canals.

The player is designed to meet both your needs at work and play, the MuVo T200 even comes with radio and voice recording features. Travel light on the go with all the player functions you need today.

Honda Unicorn Review,Specifications,Stills

abyvettoor — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:16:16 +0000

Honda’s new Indian bike Unicorn is equipped with 150cc engine and mono-suspension, it was the first of its kind in India. Honda Unicorn is the bike with powerful 4 stroke 150 cc engine delivering output of 13.3 bhp engine clubbed with many other high end equipments like Constant Volume (CV) Carburetor, pulse exhaust system, offset crank and 2 way air jacket.Roller rocker arm, 5 speed gears, tumble free combustion Multi mapping CDI etc determines the performance as well aas the aesthetic value of the bike.

Its Unique shock absorbing mono suspension prevents discomfort due to the sudden jerk caused by uneven road. Its flexible seating arrangement, ample foot space give the total comfort of journey.Its aerodynamic body lining, sporty and sleek design, appealing tail lamp and excellent body graphics etc are enhancing its style statement day by day.It comes in different colours-Black,Candy Blazing Red,Champion Blue Metallic,Geny Grey Metallic,Forced Silver Metallic.

In comparison to the Apache RTR and Pulsar, it lacks in pickup. The bike does not give a sudden jolt of acceleration, but very efficiently increases the speed in a smooth fashion. The same acceleration power is retained as you go to higher speeds. Unlike other bikes which give a sudden jolt of inertia initially but sucks at higher speeds, Unicorn does a good job of constant acceleration for a long time with its 150cc engine.
