Life Wireless

During the last year the number of wires on my computer desk is gradually (but surely) falling. First, the mouse escaped from the wires, then the keyboard. The other day my turn came up to cradle sync cable to connect to cell phones - to the editor for testing Bluetooth-adapter came from company Tecom. He has allowed to organize a small "home" (or "office"?) Wireless network from a desktop PC, cell phone and PDA.

Tecom BT3030

What is Bluetooth

First a little information about the retreat that actually represents the technology of Bluetooth. This is a technology designed to replace conventional wires that carry data. For this purpose a short-range radio link that provides a wireless connection between two or more terminals (desktop computers, laptops, printers, PDAs or cell phones), allowing them to exchange information. Bluetooth operates in the frequency range from 2.402 to 2.480 GHz, the range of ISM (Industry, Scientific, Medical - industrial, scientific, and medical band), which is still almost anywhere in the world (except France and Israel) is not licensed for use for other purposes. The main advantage of Bluetooth - the convenience of workplace organization and the process works. Do not need any wires, data on all devices in the wireless network can be synchronized automatically and continuously without user intervention. Enough for all the devices are in range, and not necessarily in line of sight, as in the case of data exchange protocol IrDA (infrared light). The second advantage - the noise immunity. Bluetooth standard includes special algorithms to protect against interference from devices operating in the same frequency range. So, for example, uses a technology called "jumps in frequency (rapidly changing broadcasting frequencies) to reduce the likelihood of radio wave collisions. Almost all the existing devices are now working on versions of the standard 1.1. It provides data transmission at speeds up to 1 megabit per second at distances up to 10 (Class 2) or 100 (Class 1) meters (it is not very thick wall is not a hindrance). Now being developed versions of the standard 1.2-2.0, where the data rate will be gradually increased up to 8 Mbps. Radius - 10 feet - apparently remains unchanged. The box with the BT3030 is written that maximum data transfer rate 723 Kbps (it's just, understandably, many Bluetooth-enabled devices are limited to this speed), and that the range is 100 meters. Check it out, unfortunately, failed because the other two units that participated in the testing worked within ten meters. According to the developers, communications with the devices of Class 1 (tested with a laptop and a GPS-receiver) is kept at a distance of 90-98 meters. More details about Bluetooth and other wireless standards can be found in our library, and we turn to what is, is the adapter Tecom BT3030.

Installing and configuring the Bluetooth-module

BT3030 connects to USB-port on desktop or notebook computer, so no additional power supply - 5V are supplied to the USB it is quite enough. In the box, apart from a very compact, the size of a matchbook antennkoy module is an additional cable, which is very convenient - no need to dig "behind" in the system unit and plug in some unthinkable situation. Through this module the wire comfortably nestled on the table (although he could just as well to remain hidden behind the system unit), the benefit of its neat silver finish no worse desktop appearance. Even ennobling.However, as the user's manual, you should start not with the connecting module to the PC with the driver installation. As users only law-abiding and do it. Start the installation procedure, we wait until the program creates a virtual COM-ports (there are already 11 in the third to 13th inclusive) and restart the computer.

Bluetooth makes for a lot of COM-ports

After rebooting the PC twice finds new hardware. Have to agree with his proposal to install the drivers for it automatically (this, incidentally, also described in the manual): Insert the device itself, it turns the display power. Our wireless network is Bluetooth ready. This is reflected in the usual Windows Explorer, where there was Daddy My Bluetooth Places (similar to My Network Places). The only device that until there is - himself a desktop computer that is connected to Bluetooth-module. Here you can configure the new features that gives the user the presence of Bluetooth: Wireless COM-port, a wireless data transmission, wireless LAN, wireless connection to a modem, fax management and data synchronization. In addition, the System Tray (lower right) icon appears in Bluetooth Configuration, where you can set all the parameters of our module, and "make friends" the PC with other wireless devices: So, in the main window kofiguratsii ask the device name to identify it in the network, its accessibility (whether other devices to find our computer), the regime search for other Bluetooth-enabled devices, specify the folders to synchronize files, configure the settings of the services listed above (wireless data transmission, wireless LAN, etc.) and choose which events associated with Bluetooth-net program will be reported.

Bluetooth Settings window

Finally, the latest innovation on the PC - a new connection for LAN - Local Area Connection 2 (as it is called by default): Now you need to include in our wireless network, other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Of those near at hand is Compaq iPaq 3870 and cellular phone Ericsson R520m. There are several different ways to create a network. One of the most simple, obvious - a desktop PC, that is, Tecom-module that looks for other devices. So, turn on Bluetooth on your PDA and phone (on the iPaq click on the blue icon in the lower right corner and select "Turn radio ON", while on the phone in the Bluetooth section, select the menu item "Discoverable"). Then double-click the Bluetooth Icon in the System Tray on your PC, open the folder My Bluetooth Places. In it we go in the Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, and the menu item "Bluetooth" choose "Search for Devices". Two devices - iPaq PocketPC and Kav (so called my phone) successfully appeared in the list. Strictly speaking, wireless ready, so only the devices to be able to exchange information and generally keen to collaborate with each other, they need to "make friends" (in English - pair, "paired").To do this, click the right mouse button on the device from the list and press the "Pair Device". With iPaq'om all happens automatically, you only need to type on the PC and the PDA is the same PIN code, which enables devices to identify each other. With the phone a bit more complicated. Ericsson did not want to take a virtual hand, which he held out a PC, but he handed it with great success. That is needed so that the phone has initiated the process of "pairing", and not vice versa.

Tick ​​- a sign of "mutual trust" devices

In general, PDA and phone has successfully made friends with a desktop computer. Now, by the way, we can examine the contents of the PC iPaq, transfer files back and forth. In practice, the relationship is kept at a distance of eight or nine meters, and with turning the corner stops. The wall, however, is thick. And not scary. For example, I completely missing the fact that you can walk with iPaq'om the room. But the most interesting features, which includes Bluetooth - a wireless synchronization via Active Sync and use the phone as a wireless modem. Let's see how they are implemented.

During data transfer Tecom BT3030 off one more indicator

Synchronization

Recall that in as a guinea used Compaq iPaq 3870 CO integrated Bluetooth-transmitter and fixed Bluetooth Manager (program for working with Bluetooth), so that the process of working with other devices, such as using a Bluetooth expansion card may vary. With the iPaq it all turned out pretty simple.

They were able to make friends

So, right click on the icon in the System Tray, the pop-up menu, select Configuration: Select the tab Local Service, double-click on the line Bluetooth Serial Port on the bottom of the list, falling window Service Properties. Here we must remember the number of COM-port, which is used by Bluetooth. This number, we need to configure Active Sync. Please note that the number of the screenshot may be different from what will your computer. Now configure the Microsoft Active Sync. Select the menu item in the Connections Settings dialog that appears, choose the same number of COM-port which was configured Bluetooth: Now produce the required settings on Compaq iPaq. Start the Bluetooth Manager, click Search, so he found a Bluetooth-enabled devices within range of the transmitter. PC is found, and the "pairing" We have already made earlier. Now we return to the list of devices in a wireless network by clicking on the icon of the PC and put a tick ActiveSync Partner. "OK." Go back to the screen Today, click Bluetooth icon in the bottom of the screen and select the "Start ActiveSync". The connection is established: Then you can perform all the actions that are available when connecting via the docking station (cradle): transfer files, synchronize your personal data, etc.

Bluetooth + GPRS = Internet

Now try using the Bluetooth-connection to connect to a desktop computer and cell phone use last as the modem for Internet access. Use for this technology, we will packet data GPRS - work through the GSM does not make sense - too slow and expensive, but the GPRS I, for example, home use on a regular basis. First, make sure that for a given phone number included service GPRS (this can be done in service support mobile operator), and secondly, to make necessary adjustments. Are all necessary for this information is available from MTS and Beeline. Now we are engaged in computer settings. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on the phone, open the My Bluetooth Places / Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood icon and find there phone. Double-click on it in the dialog box find the Dial-up Networking. Click on the icon right mouse button, select the item Properties, then Configure. Phone number that you specify in the pop-up window may vary depending on the model of cellular handset and network operator. In this case it worked with a number * 99 # The only thing that still need to fix - the address in the DNS-server Networking>> Internet Protocol (TCP / IP)>> Properties. MTS for primary and secondary addresses are the same: 213.087.000.001, and for the "Bee Line" primary 194.067.002.114, while the secondary 194.190.195.066. Close the configuration, double-click on the icon of Dila-up Networking. A dialog box appears where you enter your login and password (they are listed on the above websites). Now click Dial and after a few seconds, the connection is established. Phone can be carried out at the other end of the room, hide in his pocket, the connection remains stable.

There kotakt!

Total

Tecom BT3030 - a very good card with a reliable, simple and convenient programmnysm software. Bluetooth otnositelno new (at least for the Russian karyney user) standard and very cool that one of the first adapter is stable and without glitches. Of course, without it you can do, but it's nice to get rid of the extra pair of wires. Telephone lies across the room and charged, while diligently carrying out a modem. Compaq iPaq lies comfortably on the couch with the owner and read the new e-mails are synchronized with a desktop PC, and at the same time download from the disc "senior fellow" of, say, MP3 files.Beauty:)

Pocket pc amateur

Purchase a "proper" PDA - half the battle. It is equally important to find a small digital assistant position in her life. Although habituation to the PDA is quite rapidly, but further toys or her short zapisochek (like - "do not forget to read this note) it is not. A pocket-sized machine - a full-fledged business tool that can do almost everything the same as the personal computer, and even more as the CCP always with me, always at hand.

Family photo album on Palm m 130

In addition to general applications, as the organizer and portable game consoles, handheld computer on the shoulder and more specialization. For a man, the pictures of active, for example, PDAs may become a universal viewer, organizer fotoknizhkoy, handy tips, say, or e-frame for an album of photos (including slides show, place the machine on your desktop, and all the young staff member - your). But you never know - with the appropriate equipment of a PDA and he becomes a camera, easy to manage, small, but not primitive. Let's look at what can pocket machine is in the field of amateur photography. (Or, specifying the problem that with all this electronic nonsense to make a photographic).

Camera plus computer

The most common case - the amateur photographer, filming ordinary film cameras, acquires a pocket computer. Sense from the CCP in combination with traditional camera a bit, but some can be found. For example, use a handheld computer for reference, "log-book - written in the notebook handheld shooting conditions (those that deserve such a record, like a macro). Since the Pocket PC every family have a text or graphical editor (or note-taking program that combines both the one and another), information which can be administered in exactly the same as on paper, drawing on the screen with a pen, like a lot of time magazine did not take . Later, in a more suitable environment, the text can be perenabrat through on-screen keyboard or the stuff on the desktop. And you can keep your handwritten notes as they are, in the form of graphic files. Finding your way in a variety of notes is easier than it might seem, since they are all saved in the machine automatically, and so they are automatically assigned a default name with the information about the date and time of recording. That is all the notes are arranged in chronological order. Another, already mentioned, the use of PDAs - as a reference. The usual program for reading electronic texts and several books on photography, injected into the memory pocket typewriter in the appropriate format, that's all the wisdom. Though for the experienced hiker, and especially the photographer will be useful not lecture in photography (or long forgotten light tables of latitude and time of year - what they are for modern cameras with automatic exposure control?), And a set of topographic maps and background information about the places where captures the photographer is not an easy ... There are some nuances. For example, a PDA is better to choose a particular model of digital camera and vice versa (in the "opposite" the dominant position still in the camera, if it is primarily a photographer, and then on "kompyuterolyubitele). The fact that a PDA, and digital cameras use removable storage media of the same type - flash memory card. But they may not be compatible with each other physically. For example, in cameras Olympus, certainly superior digital cameras, card format used by Smart Media. In addition to the camera like the card can be inserted in either player MP3, or adapter to read on a PC. In PDA memory card in this format do not apply. That is to take advantage of the CPC in conjunction with this digital camera can not be ... Much more versatile two other format flash memory card - CompactFlash and Memory Stick.The first format - CompactFlash - used in handheld computers, family Pocket PC, Handheld PC and in most older machines based operating system, Windows CE (on Psion 5mx not say intentionally, as this computer screen is not color, and to engage in photography, this feature is crucial value). The same type of memory cards used in digital cameras following manufacturers - Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Hewlett-Packard (read - Pentax), Casio and a few others.

The New Sony NR70 c digital camera

In PDA Sony CLIE (all models) used memory card format Memory Stick. They also supplied with all digital cameras Sony. Clearly, when selecting a computer to your camera (or, again, vice versa) should pay attention on the type of removable media.

Photos made by the CPC Sony NR70

A few words about the cameras. Among digital cameras average amateur class (worth 200 to $ 600) to assign anything sverhvydayuscheesya difficult. At the bottom (from cheap camera), attracted the attention of the camera PhotoSmart from Hewlett-Packard. Despite some annoying omissions (no secure front of the lens, which also supports the frame size, and the inability to use the built-in LCD display for framing - a significant minus for macro photography), these cameras (low-end models, starting with the latest 120 - th) look very good. And the images give excellent for such a cheap camera quality.

Stylish and very little IXUS

Among the cameras from Canon I like most metal, stylish and very little IXUS (any of the modifications, which differ between a multiplicity of zoom). Well, Nikon, even in Africa Nikon. Bad camera this brand does not happen. About Sony is a special subject. I do not really like computers, CLIE (recently spent a lot of time trying to establish contact monochrome S300 with PC, but won only half: on one computer turned on one another - yet). But digital cameras from Sony is impossible not to admire. What do you want - Sony is at the origins of digital photography itself. It is in this company was drafted Mavika, in the mid-eighties, when an accomplishment has been a computer with a processor 80286 and the video card VGA. Another, the last this time, detail from the world of digital photography. Why are digital cameras so expensive? Even a simple little "soap box" costs several times more expensive than analog film. The problem - in the light-sensitive sensor, the main part of any digital camera. Output of quality products at factories producing the CCD does not exceed 2%. Ninety-eight percent of marriage! I hope this explains it all ... What might be useful photographer Pocket PC? The most obvious - PDAs can be used for detailed viewing of the newly captured images. There is no dispute can view footage on normal camera display. But the convenience (and, incidentally, detail) is not on the level. Rearranging the memory card into the PDA (preferably in a Pocket PC, although the owners of Sony cameras have no choice) and run the graphics viewer, sequence, frame by frame, opening the images recorded on the card flash memory camera. Only a minute, and we routinely scan the captured image at a relatively large (a factor of three or four more than the camera display) screen PDA.

Program-viewer Resco Picture Viewer

Program, viewers, such as Microsoft Image Viewer (I use it on the Casio BE-300), can display an image of the real size and preview - a miniature. On preview assess compositional part of the picture, the true image We find the error in detail. Bad shots delete. Along the way, if the camera is then not zakapriznichaet, rename pictures. If the camera becomes "object" (most cameras only support their file names are presented in the form of a combination of numbers), we can write images in a memory device. Immediately we can change the format - with the BMP to JPEG or JPEG to TIFF. But it is better to leave the matter for later, for photo editing on the desktop (and I do not know - is there any graphics converters for handheld machines, and if so, how much work properly). Depending on your camera model content, removable memory cards in the file manager handheld computer may have a different view. In simple cameras recorded images of the root drive (flash memory card is recognized by the computer as a regular hard drive). Pocket PC with this "dump" works fine, without any kind of conflict. Apart from the obvious benefits of a handheld computer for digital photography is and the benefits obvious. Due to the fact that viewing stock photography will be done on a computer screen rather than display the camera, the stock battery capacity is enough for a much longer battery life. Color camera display - the "ravenous" consumer power ... My shy "Kaskiv (I like sheep named" Beshka ") allows you to extend the process of shooting twice. Anyway, flash memory cards end up faster than the camera's battery is discharged.

Computer plus a camera

By simple (although quite expensive) manipulation in the digital camera can be turned himself PDA. A more or less actively traded PV modules are known to me are two models - for the Palm `s and Casio. It seems that there are other devices, but to me they have not yet come across.

Fotopristavka from Kodak for Palm

About Kodak `-native" gadgets "for Palm computers, I can say that the serious impression this is not a toy. Plastic optics, low resolution and sensitivity of the sensor, a monochrome screen the host ... No, not really. There would be (or have already appeared) cameras for color Palm `s, but they still have to look at. But the photo module Casio JK-710DC - curious thing. She (or he?) Is a CF card with a sort of bomboshkoy top, which is mounted swivel lens.

Photo module from Casio

Characteristics of the camera are rather modest. Matrix of 350 thousand pixels, the sensitivity of the standard - about 100 units of ISO. Flash, of course, not. Small matter, but in a room to rent is difficult - dark. As a reticle used screen handheld machines. The shutter release program (you can program any hardware button). Focusing is not needed, since used the lens mounted on the hyperfocal distance (the pictures will be sharp from a distance, and more). In memory of the computer fit from 100 to 400 shots, which clearly points to a greater degree of compression when saving images (which is "not good"). Even at a resolution of 640x480 pixels and 16-bit color file size is not as very small.But the format is JPEG, in which the computer stores photos, has a wide range of compression. This camera image quality sacrificed for the sake of their number ... In principle, fine. Exhibition of photos of the toy is still not done. A bundle of money, which for all of these miniature charms will have to pay, in the wallet is unlikely to fit. The authors, translation:

Branded accessories for the Casio BE-300

Pocket PC for its owner not only "a hundred pounds of fun," but pure devastation. It's not the cost of the machine, although this too (with a mind completely nonsense, and the price, as in "this"). Case in numerous accessories that are available for each model PDA. Producers can understand his need to earn. How do you know us, the users handheld computers, are ready to buy anything, and for all sorts of money, burdening its own pocket and at the same time facilitating the wallet? What is missing in our pocket typewriter, and if we stare at the display of computer stores? Yet there is - a computer, a compilation of the necessary (and unnecessary) programs, a feather, which - no case ... But what if you want to? And is it worth it to resist? Live something once. Talk about brand accessories for your Pocket PC Casio BE-300. (By the way, had noticed that the official name of the Pocket Manager few mentions, as do not remember the name of the eighth model "Lada" - "Sputnik"). All of them produced the most Casio or, according to partnership agreements, friendly companies and sold around the world, including Russia ... It is true that Russia is not sold everything. But sometimes it happens - and in computer shops, and stores Casio, like a specialized department of GUM in Moscow, where most recently in sales were seen every kind of small things (although at very nemelochnoy price) ... Let's open a small parade - consumables, which are actually as such is difficult to call. Namely - a set of transparent on-screen labels. This kit includes five labels - the number is clearly greater than the average user needs the CCP, if it is certainly not a terrible slut and does not use your car instead of the regular stud pen. Unfortunately, labels are not available in a scattering. The producer price - 8,99 dollars - in Russia increased more than twofold. But nowhere get to, have to buy these stickers in store. From myself, I note that because of unusual for a family of Pocket PC screen dimensions owners Casio BE-300 has to adapt to their computers stickers from other machines. These labels are a little more screen BE, so the protective film has to cut. If you have to do the same, leave a small gap - by a millimeter on each side. Then the edges of the film with heavy use of cars will not curl, and, ultimately, a sticker will last longer ... the average life of a security label - about a year. Plus or minus, of course, depending on the manner of working with computers. For those who use the plastic screen cover, Casio released a spare - cost in the same 8.99 ... By the way - for us the practice of reducing the price of one cent is no longer a novelty. Russian sales of computers (I would even File Type kompyuteroprodavtsy "- with an emphasis on" a ") know about the psychological effect of a lower figure when 8.99 is perceived by the buyer as 8, rather than as a 9 ... So that all prices in this review will end with 99. Such is life. As for the cover, then use it not very convenient. Tilt the cover back - for housing cars - not so in the clear it increases the size of a computer almost doubled. That and look for something to hold on ... Another position directory - a set of spare stylus. These are the usual regular feathers, which have an unpleasant feature of spontaneously lost. Especially for the rubbed Casio sells two pens at a price of 7.99 dollars. True, the list of original accessories can be found just three models of luxury pens, suitable for work not only with the BE-300, but with any other handhelds. The first model - SL-5. This is a small graceful handle, in which instead of writing the site is set Teflon rod. The handle is equipped with a button, so the rod can be removed, not to accidentally hurt in a briefcase or pocket. The cost of Slim-line Stylus 10,99 dollar. And dignity - in ergonomic compact design.

Pen stylus SL-5

The second model - Duo-1. In the plastic housing handles hidden not only Teflon, but writing ball stud. That is the stylus (staylusom, of course, but I prefer the original pronunciation of Vologda) can be written as an ordinary pen. Is this more expensive model - 19.99 dollars, although looks like currently.

Pen stylus Trio-1

The most expensive pen - Trio-1. In addition to Teflon ball and rod in the handle there is also a pencil. The handle is decorated in the style of an expensive office, although the cost is relatively low - 21.99 dollars. Type in the model, let's face it, a representative ... Among the other things for their machines Casio launches compact stereotelefony (headphones) without the headband, but not removable. Ear cups are held by special temples, and dynamic diffuser heads are equipped with soft foam pads. The design is somewhat unusual, but sound quality seems to be tolerable. Stand stereotelefony (they bear the inscription KOSS and completed a miniature bag) 6.99 dollar. For the money good headphones, of course, can not buy ... Dubious merit has a different kind of accessories for the Casio BE-300 - memory cards CompactFlash. It's not a tank or in some design flaws - cards as the cards, nothing remarkable. If we ignore the cost ... In the catalog of branded accessories made cards with capacity of 16 to 96 megabytes. The price of cards - from 39.99 to 199.99. dollars ... Then you can say only one thing - "Banzai!" Memory cards have become a hot commodity. Today is not New York or Tokyo, and Moscow in our CF memory card format with a capacity of 64 megabytes can be easily purchased for $ 50. Not a nameless Chinese product - a real brand! A Casio 64-megabyte card sells for 149.99 ... Sushi, they overeat, or what? From the "iron" extensions to the BE-300 produced two "jackets" - Lust for most users, an external battery and card slot format PC card (PCMCIA). The first "jacket" corrects the main drawback BE-300 - too short battery life. Judging by the statements of the manufacturer, this extension module is built the same battery as in the machine itself. And it's not particularly happy because the battery is full-time BE-300 frankly weak. Minus and a minus in this case will hilenky, but plus - no more than 8 (actually less) hours. And the bread.

External Battery Power Pack

The second "jacket" is also equipped with a battery (it is possible that the same). But it is used solely for power adapter and the devices format PC card - terribly inefficient, instantly draining the battery device. Outwardly, "jackets" are similar, but the machine put on the exact opposite way - external battery from the bottom, the guides sled, PC card slot on top, connected to the built-in machine slot CompactFlash.

Expansion connector PC card Unit

The cost of "jackets" - 69.99 for an external battery pack External Power Pack, and 159.99 for the expansion slot PC card Unit. Necessity of the first, in my opinion, of course, the second - is questionable. Although, for special peripherals (if, for example, you already have a "Notebook" modem, network adapter and the flash memory card format PC card) can be useful. A series of network devices and an external power supply - it's an adapter to connect to the car via the cigarette lighter socket (cost 39.99 U.S. dollars), a typical AC power, supplied (19.99), a special power supply unit for any input voltages - Multi Voltage, which can be useful for the traveler to "foreign countries" to the user (the cost of this unit is also 39.99).

AC-Adapter

Second cradle ("cot" synchronization) will cost 39.99 dollars ... It is interesting to calculate the cost of a standard set of Casio BE-of 300 and subtract from it the price of all additions. How much will remain of the original 199.99 dollars most BE-300, for which it is sold in the States? (However, the case, as you know, empty).

Spare cradle

A series of cables. Best way - the cable connections to port USB, cable for COM-port adapter to connect to the BE-300 9-pin serial cable - all for 29.99 dollars (well, and appetite for Casio). Three types of cables designed to connect the BE-300 with cell phones ... Alas, the news bleak. Cables are available only for phones QualComm models 860, 1960 and 2760 (all in one cable at 29.99 dollars). Have you ever seen these phones we have in Russia? And I did not see ... a little easier with the modems. Wired modem (supports all the latest on today data transfer protocols, including the 56K) in a compact design - similar to a long plastic sausage (or a chocolate bar) - is connected to the communication terminal BE-300 and is worth 149.99 dollars. This is the most rational solution, because the modem does not take a CF slot and thus allows the use of flash memory cards as storage. A second wired modem is made in the format the CF card and is slightly cheaper - 129.99 dollars. The unit is very compact, but not without flaws. First, a memory card when you connect your modem to take advantage of this will not succeed. Secondly, the modems in a miniature design is very fragile, "tails" - connectivity to the telephone line.

CF-wire modem

The third wireless modem. It is made in form factor card CompactFlash, equipped with a built-in antenna and supporting monochrome display.Is this thing (brand name Pocket Spider) 399,99 dollar, but not for our honor - this device does not support the GSM standard and is intended for U.S. wireless telephone networks (did not even find out the details, so in vain not to get upset) ... Especially for the Casio BE-300 produced two models of portable keyboards. The first - version of the well known Palm Keyboard, prevailing in four key which won great popularity among users of PDAs. In this case, the keyboard is called Targus and costs 99.99 dollars. Exactly the same as asking for a different keyboard - GoType Portable Keyboard. This is not a portable as Targus, but it is very easy to use device. The computer is in the connector, as poured. In this case, the base more rigid and more stable than the Targus (a foldable keyboard of this type are a little "walking" the central node of articulation), and the ergonomics of the keyboard is no different from ergonomics "notebook" analog. Work comfortably, although the size of GoType not so tiny (not fit in your pocket). The most famous addition to the BE-300 (because the picture on the package) can be regarded as a combining photo module JK-710DC. Casio offers it for 199.99 dollars, and with us in Russia it's worth a hundred more. Pro camera that can say this - funny thing, which does not quite justify the money that ask for it. Resolution of 640x480 pixels is enough for on-screen photo viewer, but it is not enough for quality printing. The camera is deprived of the focusing mechanism, the exact esponometrii, built-in flash. On the other hand, Casio - one of the world's leading producers of digital camera amateur class. Therefore, the JK-710DC looks very good. With it's nice to have it (unlike other digital cameras, entry-level) ... But I would still ask the price and added the money to complete the same cameras Casio. The camera should be a camera - this time. And two - solved the problem of preserving images in computer memory. Since the photo module occupies a slot CF, the user can only juggle the flash memory card and the module itself. That is no end to rewrite the images from the main memory machines to flash memory card, then remove from the slot that card, replacing it with a photo module. Finally, on the bags. Casio offers six models of brand handbags and cases to protect the BE-300 from accidental damage, and for more convenient work with the machine. Among them are a pair of belt case made of nylon (17.99) and leather (19.99 dollars). Cover with a vertical flip flap - "flip" (24.99 dollars). Cover with a horizontally opening the valve and with pockets for credit cards or flash memory card (24.99). And two models of large organizers, in which, in addition to paper blocks and eyelets for attaching pens, there is a place for the BE-300 (this is the most expensive cases - to 59.99 dollars).

Bag BE-300

That's all that you can buy for the BE-300 under the brand name Casio. In fact compatible with Behoy "devices and supplies much more, but with a different label. Personally, I'm hardly going to pay a premium for flash memory cards because they cost the icon Casio. Moreover, that in this region several other brands. For example, Pretec. As for prices, they are included solely for reference. So we know how expensive computer small things along the way to Russia, and whether efforts are Russian merchants to keep prices at an acceptable level for our market a kind word. In my opinion - are worth. And MakTsentr can buy a lot of card peripherals and accessories for the Casio BE-300 is quite reasonable prices.

Casio Exilim: the camera in your wallet

As often happens that we pass by the scene that really want to capture a photo, but no camera with me. Autumn in the park, an old house, a beautiful flower, and other less hackneyed plots are running dry, no matter how hard you try to keep them in memory. But on the other hand, does not carry the same all the time for a bag with a camera, lenses, films. Most digital cameras in this respect is no better - though there is no film and most lenses, but still - the "brick" in a pound of weight. At a dinner outing with a no take. Casio has found an outlet. Output - a miniature digital camera is almost the size of a credit card called the Exilim (there are two models EXILIM EX-S1 and the EXILIM EX-M1, the latter characterized by the presence of the built-in mp3 player).

EXILIM with player

The camera is really tiny, it seems that a sophisticated electronic device can not fit into such a tiny package. It really gets to a medium-sized wallet, generally unnoticed in your shirt pocket and weighs (though without batteries) 86 grams. The battery on the eyes, weighs grams of 30, so that in the "combat-ready" status of the camera is very easy.

Here's how tiny!

In many ways, this miniaturization is achieved by linking various devices into one. For example, a whole represent a lens and sensor CCD (charge coupled device). They are placed in one housing, which made the camera is very thin. A similar principle is used by engineers at Casio and proektirvoanii rest of "stuffing" of the camera. So, it uses the MCM (Multi Chip Module) - a single chip, which housed a new, specially designed for the camera CPU, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), memory SDRAM and Flash-memory, which in this tiny chamber 12 MB that quite a lot, again, given its size. This compact scheme razmeschniya, incidentally, not only saves space (70%), but also reduces power consumption by a third. The third "pillar" of miniaturization - the use of a unique digital interface LCD display on the back of the camera, specially designed for a series of camera Exilim. The digital interface eliminates the need for the converter, which provides space savings of about 10% (compared with control technology TFT-displays in other digital cameras), and also gets rid of many unnecessary details. The very same LCD screen rather large - 1.6 inch (3.84 cm), and perhaps precisely because of the digital interface, shows a very good picture - a clear, bright and contrast (resolution 354x240). As a result of all these innovations, and turned the camera so compact. Moreover, its compactness will not be felt for use. The few controls are well thought out and even a button on / off and shutter release, which are very close to the top panel are made so that turn off the camera instead of a picture, not easy.

The few buttons and LCD display - both controlled by the camera

Basically management is carried out using the OSD menu displayed on the LCD screen. Called it a separate button, and move on it can be (and quite conveniently) using a small joystick (up / down, left or right, select). Buttons to move up one menu level up there, but the special inconvenience this poses, because the menu itself is not too "branched". The camera does not claim the title of "professional", so the settings are not too many. Thus, during smki can toggle between photo and video (the camera can take pictures and short video), to include a night mode, and the model EXILIM EX-M1 also include video recording with sound or voice memo to a photo. Next, select one of the built-in flash (auto, forced off, forced on, removing red-eye "). You can also include a timer for avtosemki (only 10 seconds), turn off the LCD display to slow down battery planted. To choose from, there are three photo size: 640x480, 1280x960 and 1600x1200 pixels, and the CCD-matrix of the 1.2-megapixel, so that the size of 1600x1200 is achieved through interpolation. The quality of JPEG-compression can also be set independently (photo will be saved only in the format *. jpg). There are a number of more professional settings: several preset white balance setting for shooting indoors, outdoors, under floodlights, plus manual adjustment. In addition, manually adjustable exposure compensation (-2EV to +2 EV, in steps of 1/3EV). In the settings you can also turn on / off four-time digital "zoom" (approximation). Photograph is a pleasure - all the settings at hand, the user can select the most variable parameter and adjust it right during the shoot gorizonitalnymi movements of a joystick. Vertical movement controlled "zoom". One move - change - and captured can be immediately viewed on the camera screen.

Here's how it is obtained

Video, even though a maximum of 320x240 pixels, is also very decent quality. Recording speed - about 20 frames per second, which provides quite an acceptable smooth change of image, color saturation, brightness, balanced. In general, the look is quite possible. Is that a microphone and speakers rather weak - sounds are recorded and played back too quietly. Such movies are stored in the format of AVI. What this turns out, can be seen by downloading the file from the link at the end of the paragraph. The camera itself decides where to save the photos - if the inserted memory card SD / MMC, then at her - if not the internal memory. You can then insert the card in card reader or a handheld computer to see what happened, but the camera itself can connect to the PC (USB-cable included). No drivers do not need built-in memory card and the computer itself are identified as Mass Storage Device (though, again, individually - if memory card, the computer sees it, if not - built-in memory). Files with them and they can move as they do with conventional disks. To shoot in the camera can be used already something zapolnennnuyu card, Casio Exilim simply create it on my daddy, and where to store all your photos and audio recordings (model EM1). The only thing 'annoying' when using the camera - a short life battery. When the LCD screen, fully charged, it runs 30-40 minutes. Actually, more expected of him is hard - 630 mAh. Once again, the model EXILIM EX-M1 is an MP3 player.Slider switch between on the rear panel has three divisions instead of two as in the low-end model, but to control playback from the camera itself can not. To do this set comes pultik remote control that connects to the same jack as the docking station for PC. The sound is very good - clear, deep and loud :-). That's what the hardware decoder. In general, EXILIM - a great choice for those who want to always be able to capture something - at home or on the road, on vacation, etc. It is so compact that can constantly be in a shirt pocket or even in your wallet. Yes, there may not have any professional functions inherent in other cameras, but photo quality is quite at a level at least, to be photographed with an old friend, accidentally met on the street is enough. Of course, EXILIM of the photos you print the images in a rug, but the family album was a success. Autofocus, instant start, and second the willingness to work make this tiny camera is ideal for spontaneous, nepostanovochnyh images, namely, they tend to get the most vivid and natural. In addition, the camera - great for younger audiences. What could be better player and easy to manage the camera in a tiny and stylish bottle?

Knacks

Overview of accessories, manufactured and sold abroad, a curious thing, but useful only in part. On the one hand, to want to buy some gizmo, about her need to know. On the other - what a joy to know about it, if this is the gizmo we have not sold and it is unknown whether or not sold at all? Better to talk in detail - about the technique, which can be bought here and now. Therefore, today's hero - not Casio, not Hewlett-Packard and is not even cute to me Pretec (it produces a nice "gadgets" for handheld computers). Today's hero - the company MakTsentr "that sells the products of the same Casio, Hewlett-Packard and Pretec here in Russia. And not only sells, but she produces some accessories ...

Memory cards and adapters for them

Pocket PC without a flash memory card - it's either an old computer or a very old computer. All new models, including the lowly Palm, equipped with slots for such cards, and therefore have the potential for virtually unlimited capacity of internal memory and an instant (literally, in one motion!) Changing set of business programs. Simply put, changing the memory card, we simply introduce the elementary in a pocket typewriter class Pocket PC (a Palm `s all arranged slightly differently and without the multimedia frills), a music album in MP3, a library of electronic texts or collection of toys. Like a stick into a portable CD player a new drive - again, and ready. On the virtues of flash memory cards say it is hardly worth - the owner of any CCP knows this himself. But the shortcomings should stop. The first major drawback - price. Flash memory is an expensive pleasure. Fifty dollars for a 64-megabyte module is not so trifling money. But the memory of some formats even more. His most expensive and most popular today formats - Compact Flash. However, if you look in network directories, where Moscow (and not only Moscow), firms are offering their wares, it is easy to see that the spread in prices for flash memory card is quite large. The same 64-megabyte card format Compact Flash (CF) can not find $ 50 and, say, $ 32. And if you do not hurry, it is still cheaper. However, should buy it for $ 50. Why? Because the brand. A brand - it is reliable, high speed read and write plus "bug-free." And the warranty, finally. Hardly basement merchant card swap, the failed six months after purchase. A serious company that sells merchandise with a name that will change. We all strive for opportunities to save money. And because the extra five dollars for a proprietary card try not to overpay. But the acquisition cards obscure firms is fraught with waste of money. Many times I was convinced this (I think you are too). Flash memory, like a normal hard drive may have bad sectors, read errors, variable speed of information exchange (in the winchester closer to the spindle - it's faster, and in solid state memory, I do not know, but some relationship exists). It is believed that will work without the error a new memory card is functioning correctly and on. And that it can happen if the supply voltage is stable (controlled by the circuit of the computer itself), and mechanical loads card is not afraid? But the fact of the matter is that, in practice, anything may happen. In Memory unnamed manufacturer suddenly reduced capacity, or general information is no longer readable. Run the disk check utility (card system works just like a regular hard drive), and she begins to close the "broken" clusters. No doubt, the preservation of information in the flash memory card on the order of magnitude higher than the electromechanical drives. Not for nothing is so popular today are relatively expensive drives Flash Drive - Plug into a USB port and shaped key ring. But, again, anything may happen. One is not the most famous, but the tried and trusted manufacturers of flash memory cards - the company Pretec. It sticks I found in "MakTsentr, spent money on them and so far this has not regretted. It seems to be nothing special - a card like card. But - working (that from her, in fact, required). One of the features of the CompactFlash card is built into the controller. This allows, first, simplify the handheld (as well as any digital device that uses memory cards of this standard - for example, a camera) and to reduce energy consumption (the computer does not have to supply the energy untapped controller card in the slot when not). And secondly, to achieve a very simple and logical scheme of modernization of the computer. Once the controller is built into the card, then buying a new module, we also acquire a new controller! That is, increases the recording speed-read anything, in fact, not changing in the computer. Not my idea, I read it in one of the computer magazines. But I liked it before, do not resist the quote ... if this solution was used in hard drives, we would not have thought about the specifications of their interfaces. Sets a new hard drive, and there already and UDMA-100, and other delights of the latest technology ... But while this is not and probably never will. And in memory cards CF - there! No matter how good CompactFlash, a format that is not universal and certainly not perfect. In contrast, SD or Memory Stick (two very popular among the handheld format) on the CF card is no basic protection from accidentally overwriting data. In the cards competing standards, this protection is implemented as a mechanical blocking entry switch - as in the usual three-inch floppy disks. But that's okay - no, so no. What to do with physical incompatibility? The house, for example, two "pickpocket" - Palm slot MMC / SD, and Casio BE-300 with a slot CF. What to do? And how to use a memory card with a desktop computer or laptop? Do not buy this as Flash Drive, if there already is a card (or several maps) of flash memory? Questions, of course, naive. Everyone knows that to connect the memory card to the "big" computer or a handheld machine other family needs a special adapter. The cheapest of them - CompactFlash Type I card slot for PC card. This product from Pretec is the "MakTsentr" only $ 10. A fun (and profit) from it - one hundred thousand (figuratively speaking, of course). For example, I have long and, hopefully, quite successfully using a ThinkPad in the work produced by IBM. This computer has no built-in floppy drive, and external "writing" CD-RW I have to buy as a "not mine". I'll take a lot of disks? Well, one year. Well, two. Then why I like this game? But some "fun" is needed anyway - as a backup device. Information - text and a number of pictures - are becoming not so much, only about 30 megabytes (pictures of them quite a bit because I was not too much like digital photography, in the optional hobbies I avowed conservative). To have some margin, multiply 30 megabytes (in archived, compressed form) into two, we get 60 megabytes. The drive of this size would cover my needs for the next few years ... And this is the standard amount of relatively inexpensive flash memory card - 64 MB. Inserting one of the flash memory card into the adapter and the adapter itself - in the PC card slot of a laptop, I get enough high-speed, extremely reliable and durable drive that easily fits in your wallet. Think of another wonderful device - external hard drive ZIV. Lulu, huh? Ten - twenty - thirty gigabytes in your pocket ... And if you accidentally shmyaknut? Happens then? And - wept bitter tears of 200-300 dollars. And with them, and carefully preserved in the archives of information ... with a card that is not possible in principle. Before Flash Drive, which is much more comfortable and progressive (small, elegant, connects to any PC) memory card has one significant advantage. I can rearrange the map in the PDA or digital camera.Flash Drive - just plug into the USB port of a large machine ... Although, it is necessary to have something, and more. And do not talk too much about such trifles. Of the memory cards of other formats, I really liked the card and MultiMedia card compatible with Secure Digital (and it is clear, I have the same except the BE-300 is also a Palm). But rearranged a miniature SD card into the machine slot CompactFlash I can not, because slots are physically incompatible ... While I can not. And if you buy a CF-SD adapter from the same Pretec - I can. This adapter is made in the CompactFlash form factor with built-in miniature slot MMC / SD. Insert the small card into the adapter and the adapter - in another adapter for PC card. And yet this economy - into a notebook. Now tiddly card from Palm `and can serve as a backup drive wow. And why not? True, my old "pretekovsky" adapter will not work - CF-SD adapter is made in a thick form factor CompactFlash Type II, respectively, and an adapter for PC card slots required format Type II (it costs twice as much - $ 20, but still quite acceptable). There may be opportunities for astute description of an adapter for small and tiny memory cards to round out. But note - this adapter is called Compact Trio. Why would it? And the fact that in addition to MMC and SD, he turns to another and CompactFlash cards Memory Stick from Sony. Moreover, as the old standard of 2.0 and the latest Memory Stick Duo. That is, all conceivable card utility in one plump plate CF. $ 70.

Sync cable and charge batteries

Describe more or less significant part of the "pocket-computer" accessories in one article, there is no possibility. Therefore focus on the fact that most attracted me personally. First, the most obvious - the USB cable to synchronize Casio BE-300 desktop PC and laptop (this cable is available in different versions for all models of PDAs) ... The story here is. Every six to eight weeks I'm going on the road and going to the "middle of nowhere." Every six to eight weeks I break my head - what can I take to the road, and what to leave home. "Beds" to synchronize the BE-300, I pushed into the bag at last. While I am so tempted to give up on Pocket PC hand and push it along with the "crib" to the far desk drawer. Comfortable in a hospital, "cradle" CCP becomes a burden on the road. And then it helps out the sync cable. Still compact and flexible "string" is easier to fit into a crowded bag rather than plastic cuttlefish bulk form. However, the use of this cable will be both in ordinary life. For example, a "crib" can be kept constantly connected to your home computer and to synchronize the handheld machine from the office computer using a cable USB. Its also possible to bring along for the connection with another machine (to, say, hit the nation to its PDA somewhere away). However, in this case it is necessary to take a more compact and with a set of synchronization software ... Another curious item - a cable for synchronization and charging PDA at the same time from the USB port or car cigarette lighter socket. Can not say anything about the practical side of this wisdom, because he did not speak nor cable, nor powerful enough to effectively recharge the USB port on your laptop, let alone a car. But the thing is, I suppose standing. Dimensions of power supply to the BE-300 less than other computers, but everywhere to carry it with you anyway else fun. Besides, too Deanne wire also prevents.

And all-all-all

And me, when I go into "MakTsentr, his eyes constantly gets a combined handle - also seems to be from Pretec. Inexpensive (a dozen "green") and very pretty to look at. Handle This may serve for ordinary letters, and doodles in Graffiti. Konopochka pushes alternately writing a node, the Teflon tip.In short, wow style ... Alas, this 'feature' at me all the time is not enough money (I would have tried to steal it, but education does not allow). On the set of sweet additions such as modules Bluetooth, GPRS, wired modems and digital cameras in the card is constructive, we must speak separately. Curious little things, but, unfortunately, not cheap. Appetite comes with eating? Exactly. It remains only to find the money to suffice for all these things ... Ah, heavy share of the very top of the computerized old slacker ... authors, translation:

Power of Presentation - Power Point on the Palm and Pocket PC

Computer presentations using Power Point software have become the standard not only in various aspects of business life (marketing, PR-management), but also in many other areas of life such as education, politics, etc. Technology advances, computers are becoming smaller and smarter, and now comes the day when such presentations are moving from desktop computers and notebooks to tiny handheld devices. This article focuses on three products that are in conjunction with handheld computers on the platforms platforms Palm OS or Pocket PC and allow the mobile presentation. "

Margi Systems Presenter-to-Go SD card - $ 199, 163 grams

Presenter-to-Go SD from Margi Systems is working with PDA to Palm OS and a SDIO (Secure Digital Input / Output) device that allows you to manage Microsoft Power Point presentations on the Pocket PC and display them on standard VGA monitors and projectors. In addition, Presenter-to-Go allows you to display any image on the screen Palm'a on the projector. Includes Presenter-to-Go in person, an adapter for recharging, VGA cable and infrared remote control the size of a credit card. The device itself - it is a small box of size 3.81 x 5, 08sm with a VGA connector on one side and the cable with the SDIO card with another, as well as two IR ports on both sides. Using an external adapter allows you to increase the time held presentations with 90 minutes to three hours. In addition, the kit includes CD-ROM, with the necessary software and a small installation guide. User feedback on the work of this device is mainly a very sympathetic. Presenter-to-Go executes its tasks bzukoriznenno clearly. A positive factor is that during testing there were no conflicts with the CPC or other "oddities" (bugs, that is). Software included in the kit, then it takes any presentation format. Pdb to download to a PDA. In addition, during the conversion it is assumed that happens and the file compression, which is better if the presentation is not so many images and complex backgrounds. However, in the case of the device end. Pdb file is larger than the original. Ppt file. And yet, this system does not support slide transitions and animations, so that the work and especially not worth it. In addition, the device provides built-in and printer driver that can at any time to print the required information. With regard to a pickpocket, he will need the following applications: driver memory expansion slot SDIO, and program Program Presenter Mirror (Mirror). All of the above will 332Kb of free space. It is worth noting that the Mirror is a program that allows you to display screen PDA to the projector. So, if the special need it is not there, you can save 80k of space. After you create your presentation in Power Point'e and synchronization of the final. Pdb file with the handheld device, you can begin immediately the demonstration. After connecting all required cables, you need to download the program from Presenter, which will find the PDA that exist in the presence of presentations and will plan for one of them. With the help of the menu is easy to find you're interested in a presentation. Plan displays the title of each slide along with graphs of control and an icon for the records. Putting a tick in the box controls, you can skip one or another slide in the presentation, the icon will give the same opportunity to read the text and notes to a slide on the PDA, while the projector to display graphics. Next button on the remote control is used to move to the next slide. On the PDA, you can view the slides in a compressed and reduced format.In this case the user will make adjustments to the image of the stylus, they will also appear on the projector. This function will draw attention to some details on the slide. A icon Eraser allows you to quickly erase all the picture. Now about the speed. According to eyewitnesses, the system pretty quickly, but the rate can hardly compare with desktop or laptop. In principle, the company has developer has done everything possible to make the transition between slides was not noticeable to an outside observer. However, in the event of a return to the previous slide, those 3-5 seconds are needed for the transition between them become apparent. And a few words of support SD. It is logical to assume that the presentation may take quite a lot of space. And since the Presenter-to-Go is the SD card slot, parallel to its use and a memory expansion card is impossible. But Margi System has provided an inconvenience, making it possible to quickly copy the necessary presentation to the SD card into the program Presenter, and then remove it from the handheld RAM. Total. Margi System Presenter-to-Go SD Card as a whole copes with this task, making professional-looking presentations without a laptop.

Margi Presenter-to-Go CF card - $ 199, 163 grams

Much of what was said about Margi SD Card can be attributed to the Compact Flash version of the device. The differences are as follows:

• CF version only supports devices running on Pocket PC platform
• CF version does not support drawing on the screen in preview mode
• CF version does not support reading presentations Card Compact Flash, the presentation should be placed directly into your PDA
• CF version has no built-in infrared port on the device. IrDA Remote Control must be aimed directly at the IR port of the CPC, which involves some difficulties
• CF version is faster. Transitions between slides in any direction is equally fast. Perhaps this is due to faster processors and more built-in memory devices Pocket PC
• CF version comes with a small handbag. However, the place it will last only a remote and CF card

It is worth noting that the margi Systems produces more and device Presenter-to-Go interface Handspring SpringBoard.

The Colorgraphic Voyager CF card - $ 176, 117 grams

Company Colographic Communications Corporation, which manufactures CompactFlash VGA adapter for Pocket PC, and in contrast to proposals Margi Systems, is just VGA adapter. True, the kit includes the software for presentations from producers of strontium. Scope of supply includes CF card, cable and CD with software. In general, the adapter works as described, except that significantly reduces the rate of the old Pocket PC with relatively slow processors. From the above devices, the adapter has the following features:

• I do not have infrared capabilities adapter and remote control
• Y adapter has several outputs: VGA, Composite, TV (NTCS / PAL)
• The accompanying bundled software ClearVue Suite is unique in that it allows to show the normal Power Point files, bypassing the stage of translation

Colographic Voyager comes with a small nylon bag for easy transport.

As a result, the choice is always yours, but with each passing day it becomes more and more alternatives. Importantly, do not lose your head and decide your preference. The authors, translation:
