A more successful attempt of using the USB to VGA adapter with the Viliv N5 for watching videos on an external monitor.

I would like to thank my friend for letting me borrow this adapter for testing. I currently own the EVGA UV+ which has shown results that are far from desired. Before I fully test this new adapter, I have done a unboxing to show you what you can expect to see in the box if you also choose to purchase this model. A full test of its capabilities and a comparison to the UV Plus+ will follow shortly after.

I was sitting on the train today playing some games on the N5 when a lady sat down on the seat across from me. After a few minutes I noticed her staring in my direction so as I looked up I gave her a friendly smile. As she smiled back she questioned me as to where I “got it from“. I assumed she was talking about the N5 so i told her about the online site dynamism.com. She then continues to question its price where I answered roughly $1000AUD. She was shocked and said that cost more than the device itself and that it “wasn’t worth it“. I was so confused at her statement, what was she talking about?

UPDATE
By unchecking the DirectX video acceleration option I managed to get some videos to play, however it looks like I’m watching a very bad slideshow. Far from perfect and hardly watchable. Will have to keep trying.

Just did a quick test of the EVGA USB to VGA video adapter and the results have not been too good. I’m not sure if it’s a driver issue or something else that’s causing the problem seen in the video but hopefully I can get it fixed soon. You can see what I’m talking about after the break.

Just wanted to do a quick unboxing in preparation for the Viliv N5. Due to the fact that the N5 will be lacking a VGA out ability, I went out and purchased a USB to DVI adapter for some tests. Usually I don’t use the video out features but there may be some potential for viewing movies on a larger screen. If you are interested, the embedded unboxing can be seen after the break.

The dates on Dynamism have changed, the 3g version’s shipment is expected to be on the 15th instead of the 19th. So for those of you who purchased the 3g version, we may be getting them a few days earlier. Only a few more days to go.

Had to stay up until 3am in Australia to pre-order the Viliv N5 from Dynamism. Made sure to get in early so I could get one from the first batch of units being sent out. It has been a long time since I was so excited for any mobile gadget, the last time being the release of the first generation iPhone.  I really can’t wait for the 19th to come any sooner; being the expected shipping date. I will hopefully be posting a quick unboxing followed by a lot of hands on demonstrations.

After a few days of using the Z-Nano I decided to tests its performance using a flash based game which tests the mouse’s movement, accuracy, consistency, strength and speed. Being the smallest mouse in the world, I didn’t have high hopes for the test.

If you want to know how it performed please check out the results after the break.

I wanted a test to see if I could upload to YouTube on my connection so heres a quick unboxing of the Z-Nano, the Worlds Smallest Mouse. This thing seemed ridiculously small but decided to get it purely for its novelty factor. I’ve always enjoyed collecting weird gadgets so this little thing fits well into my collection. In terms of computer mice, it doesn’t get any more mobile than this.

If you want a better idea of its size please check out the video after the break.

If you have been following the tech scene, then you should have already had a glimpse of what the new iPhone will look like. For those of you who havn’t already seen it, Apple today officially showcased their long awaited iPhone 4 at the WWDC in San Francisco.

Apple showed off their new piece of tech with a ton of new and exciting features. Firstly with an upgraded design, where the internals are sandwiched between two hardened plates of aluminosilicate glass with a stainless steel trim which stretches around the outer edges which acts as the phone’s radio antennae. At a mere 9.3mm, the iPhone 4 is 24 percent thinner than its predecessor; the iPhone 3GS.  Referred to by Apple as the “retina display”, the LCD screen boasts a 960×640 high resolution display with 326 pixels per inch and a contrast ratio of 800:1.

I have been longing to replace my ancient netbook with a new UMPC for a long time. Since news of the UMID M1 came out I was sure that it was going to be the perfect replacement, however as the release got closer and the specs were released, the upgrade didn’t seem to be all that great and reading about the numerous complaints about the hinge issue ensured that I would not invest my money into the M1.

With the release of the new eee keyboard approaching, I’ve decided to dust off an old mod and show you what I did with an original eeepc 701.

It started with a broken 701 which I got from a friend for roughly $30. It had sustained a drop and thus resulted in a broken screen and would not boot up even with a monitor plugged into it. Upon cracking open the case I noticed the ram was knocked loose. Once I put it back in place, the 701 booted up fine with the monitor. With the broken screen getting in the way I decided to just remove it completely resulting in a very slimline desktop alternative.

I discovered this little mod a few years ago and found it to be extremely useful and fun to make. It has since found a permanent position in my gadgets bag and goes everywhere my mobile devices go.

Looking back at my netbooks and umpcs there was always something lacking in terms of mobility. When using my devices on the go, I usually carry it in a bag along with a charger, usb dongles and other useful tools. When the time comes for me to use them productively, they don’t seem so portable. Once you plug in the wireless mouse and 3G dongle the device starts getting too awkward to hold.
