Waterproof + Dustproof: IP67 IP stands for ‘Ingress Protection’ Please note that an IP number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests.  The IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects and the second against liquids. The higher the number, the better the protection. It is because of this, the device is totally protected against dust and also protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m.

Kindle Fire HD 7″

The Amazon Kindle Fire HD feels like is a Kindle e-reader that someone has slowly added pieces to, bit by bit, until it can do almost everything a tablet can but in a way that only makes sense if a user knows what it used to be.  The result is that while this is an affordable, solid, nicely specced machine, compared to its nearest rivals – in both form factor and price – it’s a bit of an oddity, with awkward software and ugly hardware which feels just as budget as its price indicates.

Budget, or good value? Maybe it depends on the perspective. For just £159 a user can get an excellent display (1280×800 pixels) with the ability to display beautiful colours with little glare and a wide viewing angle. Movies look fantastic and with dual-band WiFi and a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor it runs smoothly.

The cheapest model has 16GB of storage, and a user can bump that up to 32GB for an extra £40. It also includes a front-facing HD camera, an HDMI port, a good 10-hour battery and free cloud storage. Dolby audio and dual-driver speakers mean that it sounds better than most mobile devices right out of the box, and overall in specs it’s definitely impressive.

As a physical object, though, it’s really quite ugly. With thick bezels and a cheap rubberised backplate, it’s a really generic piece of hardware. But unlike the Kindle Paperwhite, it doesn’t blend into the background while a user isusing it – this is a heavy (395g) black, slab. It’s uncomfortable to hold in one hand for long periods, and it clunks when a user puts it down. The buttons are hard to find, and difficult to press. Compared to the iPad Mini, for instance, it’s just inelegant.

The software, too, feels like a blunt, heavy object. It’s based on Android 4.0, but instead of a familiar homescreen of app icons or widgets, a user instead have a rolling carousel of all the content – curiously large apps icons, movies box art, book covers, web pages – plunked in the centre of the screen. Below it is a list of “customers also bought” suggestions (adverts), and above a list of other functions divided into apps (Games, Apps), media (Books, Videos, Music) and cloud services (Docs, Web). There is also a favourites bar, to give a user quick access to the most-used items.

Under Apps a user can get a standard email client, Skype and a calendar, as well as OfficeSuite. As for other apps, a user will have to go via Amazon’s own App Store for those – and due to Amazon’s policy of carefully pruning which apps to include there isn’t a huge amount on offer. It lags behind iOS and Google Play in terms of variety of games and other software, and a user will struggle to stay on top of the latest trends. And even once a user has downloaded them, a user will probably have to scroll past pages of books, ads and other OS-impediments before finding them.

The Amazon store, while oddly sluggish at times, is deeply embedded into the OS and the book reader, movie player and music app are all excellent. The X-Ray feature shows a user information about the movie a user is watching from IMDB, while the books app gives a user highlights, author info and other details. For users with existing investments in Amazon’s media offerings, for instance Lovefilm, as well as books and music, it’s a good deal. Unfortunately some of its best features in the US – free video streaming with Amazon Prime accounts, weren’t available in the UK when we tested the product.

Overall this is a product which feels a little half-baked – which is unfortunate considering its name. It’s certainly a solid and competitive offering in terms of price and specs, but if a user already own a tablet it’s difficult to recommend buying this too – and if a user doesn’t have a tablet there are better options out there.

Vestax Pad-one

The Vestax Pad-One is a USB-powered MIDI controller that lets a user control DJing and music production software with 12 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads, an X/Y pad and a collection of buttons and dials. A User can use it to play drum sounds in the digital audio workstation, trigger hot-cues in the DJing software or whatever else a user decides to do with it.

The Pad-One is incredibly versatile and a user can edit each pad so that it emits a specific MIDI control signal or note, and it has four separate banks of controls, giving a user up to 48 different MIDI controls. If a user wants to assign a bass drum sound to the first pad, for example, and the software won’t let a user do that because it demands a specific MIDI signal, a user can edit the pad’s MIDI signal using the Pad-One hardware  so that it emits that specific note. A user can customise the Pad-One’s hardware to organise a users controls exactly the way a user wants them.
Unlike many compact MIDI controllers, the Pad-One has a solid aluminium casing and is extremely tough. The pads are constructed from durable silicon and the pots and other controls are also well built. The Pad-One is designed to be used.
Although the Pad-One has a power connector for an external power supply, it doesn’t actually come with one; it must be bought separately. For most people, that’ll be no great hardship because the Pad-One is USB-powered, although a user might encounter problems if a user wants to connect it to a non-powered USB  hub. If the hub can’t deliver enough power to the Pad-One it won’t work. If a user plugs the Pad-One in to the computer directly, and most users will.
The Pad-One also has a MIDI output that lets a user control older MIDI equipment. A user need to use a 6-pin to 5-pin DIN MIDI convertor cable, but that comes with the unit, so a usre can incorporate it in to older setups straight away.
DRUMMER GETS WICKED
Each drum pad is Large enough to hit easily and has a lot of resistance, but they’re soft enough to cushion the stabs and not fatigue the fingers when playing for extended periods. A user can just hit the pads as he wishes, but the Pad-One also has a number other features that lets a user get creative without having to change software settings constantly.
The Roll feature can also be used in conjunction with the Pad-One’s X/Y pad to create some funky drum-rolls. The X-axis controls the speed of the drum-roll, with the far-left of the pad triggering a one-beat drum roll, so a user can play a drum sound on each beat. Swipe the finger to the X/Y pad’s far right and a user can get machine-gun-quick drum-rolls. The Y-axis controls volume. If a user touches the bottom of the pad a user can hardly hear the drum roll, but swiping the finger to the top increases it.

Wacom to Manga Management

The article will provide a reader with information on Wacom to Manga Management. Graphics tablet manufacturer Wacom has gone all anime – teaming up with Japanese comic book and digital art craze Manga for a quirky special release. Bamboo Manga is especially for those fans who not only enjoy following these distinctive digital fellows but also like to try their hand at redrawing the characters and even designing their own. The special pack combines Wacom’s popular Bamboo Pen and Touch tablet with specialist software Manga Studio Debut 4 and Anime Studio Debut 8. So whether a user is a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan or a My-HiME enthusiast, a user can carry these characters around in his mind and recreate them whenever and wherever artistic inclination strikes.

Manga Studio gives a user with an access to traditional Manga-style drawing tools and effects plus the all-essential word balloons to insert the own dialogue. Once a users masterpiece is complete, Anime Studio breathes life into the scribbled cartoon chums with audio, video and special effects for 2D movies, cartoons, anime and cut-out animations. Manga is a massive industry, with a global following and scores of spin-offs. With Manga Wacom a user could channel the artistic flair and create unique graphical illustrations in the style of these enchanting oriental characters. But Wacom has even greater designs on these discernible digital creatures. It’s primed to join the Manga convention circuit, inviting the most devoted Manga-kas to turn their hands at creating the characters – much like those theme park caricaturists – with their own quirky Japanese still-life models at the disposal of their Bamboo Pen. Wacom and Manga is a natural match-up, as Manga has experienced a real revolution in the advent of commercial graphics devices. The Wacom responds as if pen on paper, meaning the digital artist can hand-draw characters straight to PC before activating their own anime adventures.

String the designs together for storyboards, fight scenes, even whole episodes. Then share via social networking sites or Manga communities. Akin to most multi-touch displays, this distinctive black and green tablet responds to gestures such as pinch to zoom and flick to rotate. It also lets a user use pen and multi-touch together to keep the digital design flowing and the stories going. After reading the article, a user would have gained knowledge and understanding on Wacom to Manga Management.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

The article will provide a reader with information on Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. The most important change with the Paperwhite is the screen, but not just because of that built-in light – it’s also had a resolution boost. While all of the old Kindle models used an 6in E Ink Pearl screen with an 800×600 resolution, the Kindle Paperwhite has a brand-new 6in E Ink screen with a resolution of 1,024×768 – a 62 per cent increase in pixels and a pixel density of 221ppi.

With a 1,024×768 resolution screen and backlight, the Paperwhite has sharper, clearer text than on previous Kindles Text looks a lot sharper on the Paperwhite’s screen than it did on the old Kindle Touch. A user can reduce the font size down to its smallest and still clearly be able to read it. In this regard, the Paperwhite comes close to accurately rendering the small font size and density typically used for paperback books.  It’s the backlight that’s going to garner the most attention and with good reason, too. It uses four LEDs at the top to bathe the entire screen in gentle light. Aside from a couple of slightly dimmer patches at the bottom that a User doesn’t notice when he is reading, the screen is very evenly lit.

At first glance it may seem as though the best use for this light is for when a User is in a dark room, as a direct replacement for the old Amazon Kindle Lighted Cover, which had a pop-out light. However, the Paperwhite’s light source is something that a User should use all of the time, as it makes the screen look whiter and the helps boost contrast. In this respect, the Paperwhite is a close to reading a ‘real’ book as a User can get.  When a User is somewhere in the dark, the screen works brilliantly, letting a User read easily without another source of illumination. Having the light built in has the secondary advantage that a User does’t get as much light leakage as from the Lighted Cover, so a User can happily read next to a partner without bothering them.

A User can also have complete control over the backlight, with an on-screen slider letting a User choose its brightness. Amazon recommends higher brightness in brightly-lit rooms, so that a User can maintain the contrast, with lower brightness for dimly-lit rooms. The Paperwhite is User friendly as it is easy to read.
Amazon uses low-power LEDs, ensuring that battery life won’t be reduced too much, although it varies depending on the brightness of the lamp. Amazon quotes battery life at eight weeks, based on half an hour of reading per day with wireless turned off and the light at setting 10. This equates to around 28 hours of continuous reading before a User has to charge the device again.
The Paperwhite has largely the same interface as the Kindle Touch, with the choice of book thumbnails or a simple text list on the home screen. When a User is in a book, he can tap the top of the screen to bring up the menu, which lets a User adjust the font size and type, search the book and highlight passages.  So far, so similar to the Kindle Touch; however, a User has much more control over the text with the Paperwhite. With the old Kindle Touch a User could select the font size and choose between three font styles; with the Kindle Paperwhite you still have font size control, but you can also choose from seven fonts – Baskerville, Caecilia, Caecilia Condensed, Publisher Font, Futura, Hevetica and Palatino – as well as having the choice of Line spacing and Margin sizes.

Boogie Board Paperless LCD Tablet

The article will provide a reader with information on Boogie Board Paperless LCD Tablet.  Enter, with an economic friendly halo and serious tech press buzz, the groundbreaking Boogie Board Paperless LCD Tablet.

Perfect for scribbling messages, writing to-do lists, sketching digital graffiti, doing sums and drawing up mad professor-ish master plans, this ludicrously lightweight, flexible electronic pad features a pressure-sensitive screen upon which you can write, doodle and sketch using the included stylus, your finger or anything else capable of applying the required pressure. When you need to erase your handiwork simply press the button.
The Boogie Board is so responsive it can even conjure uplines of different thickness according to the pressure applied – just like paper and pen. Think of it as a pimped-up Etch-a-Sketch with an incredibly practical twist.

A user does not need to worry about cables and chargers because thanks to ingenious ‘reflex’ LCDs this wafer-thin gizmo requires only a small watch battery to power the erasing process. Take it wherever you may roam and get doodling, digital style.  Speaking of erasing, the Boogie Board lasts forapproximately 50,000 erasures –that’s a whole load of scribbling, not to mention a whole load of trees breathing a sigh of relief. Of course you could always continue scrawling your musings via quaint old paper and pen, but as a Firebox-perusing gadgeteer we expect so much more from a user.  Here is an optional extra accessories currently available for the Boogie Board.

Google Builds Artificial Brain Which Can Recognize A Cat

The Google X laboratory has invented some pretty cool stuff: refrigerators that can order groceries when food runs low, elevators that can perhaps reach outer space, self-driving cars. So it’s no surprise that their most recent design is the most advanced, highest functioning, most awesome invention ever… a computer that likes watching YouTube cats?

Okay, it’s a bit more advanced than that. Several years ago, Google scientists began creating a neural network for machine learning. The technique Google X employed for this project is called the “deep learning,” a method defined by its massive scale. In layman’s terms, they connected 16,000 computer processors and let the network they created roam free on the Internet so as to simulate a human brain learning.  Stanford University computer scientist Andrew Y. Ng, led the Google team in feeding the neural network 10 million random digital images from YouTube videos. The machine was not “supervised,” i.e. it was not told what a cat is or what features a cat has; it simply looked at the data randomly fed to it. Ng found that there was a small part of the computer’s “brain” that taught itself to recognize felines. “It basically invented the concept of a cat,” Google fellow Jeff Dean told the New York Times.

So Google may have created a machine that can teach itself. But what Ng and his team have done is not as new as a user may think. Over the years, as the scale of software simulations has grown, machine learning systems have advanced; last year, Microsoft scientists suggested that the “deep learning” technique could be used to build computer systems to understand human speech. This Google X machine is the cream of the crop—twice as accurate as any other machine before it. However, “it is worth noting that our network is still tiny compared to the human visual cortex,” the researchers wrote, “which is a million times larger in terms of the number of neurons and synapses.”

After “viewing” random pictures from random YouTube videos, the neural network created a digital image of a cat based on its “memory” of the shapes it saw in the images. The cat the computer created is not any specific cat, but what the computer imagines to be a cat. Plato had his Forms, and now Google has its computer-generated cat image.

iOS 6

iOS 6, the latest generation of Apple’s mobile software foriPod touch, iPhone and iPad, has finally been unveiled- and from what we’ve seen so far, it will delight an awful lot of iOS users.

iOS 6 introduces Passbook
Passbook is Apple’s new e-tickets app, enabling a user to carry electronic tickets for anything from sports events to plane travel, or to have a digital loyalty card. The tickets update, too, so for example a users airline ticket would send him a notification once his departure gate was announced or changed. Hopefully enough firms will support this one to make it work for all our everyday bits and bobs.
iOS 6 has an improved Phone application. The revised Phone app offers smart reminders, so for example a user can reject a call with a message saying a user is busy, on his way or lost in a forest… A user can also be reminded to call someone back when a user has to leave his current location.  The new Do Not Disturb mode is particularly nifty: when new messages arrive, they do so silently and without the screen lighting up. If a user wishes, then he can also tell his iPhone not to silence calls from a list of favourite callers, or to automatically silent repeat calls from the same person.

iOS 6 has Facetime over 3G
iOS 6 has a brand new Safari application.  There are lots of useful improvements here: Instapaper-style offline reading, iCloud tab syncing and photo sharing website integration to make uploading less hassle. Less wonderfully, Smart App Banners enable websites to tell a user about their sodding iOS apps more easily, which is just brilliant.

iOS 6 photo sharing is more selective
Instead of sharing everything with everyone, a user can choose which photos should be shared with which people.

iOS 6 makes Siri more serious, and puts it in cars
Siri is able to understand a wider range of questions than before – the demo showed it understanding questions about sports scores, statistics and trivia, booking restaurants and finding out what’s worth seeing at the cinema – but as yet it’s unclear which, if any, of these features will make it to the UK. Local search is being rolled out worldwide, however, and there’s support for more languages.

iOS 6 has Facebook integration
Apple promises “the best Facebook integration ever in a mobile device”, and to our eyes it looks pretty much the same as iOS 5′s Twitter integration: a user can post photos, locations, URLs and so on to annoy his friends. The API is public, so non-Apple apps can share to Facebook too, and a user will be able to see his Facebook friends’ App Store recommendations.

iOS 6 has guided access for children
The new Guided Access feature enables a user to disable certain parts of the screen so that children can’t accidentally hit the wrong buttons. We’re going to use it on the in-app purchase icons in every kid-targeted iOS game. Hahah!
iOS 6 has a new Maps application.

iOS 6 supports larger phone screens

Rumors of the iPhone 5 coming with a larger 4-inch screen have come a bit closer to reality, thanks to a discovery made with the iOS development tool kit. Using the beta version of iOS 6, TechRadar was able to stretch the screen to fit a 640 x 1136 resolution version, and everything scaled perfectly.

iOS 6 dedicated Podcast application
A report from AllThingsD suggest that Apple may be about to givePodcasts their own application within the forthcoming iOS 6 software.
iOS 6 doesn’t require password for free applications.  With iOS 6, a user won’t be asked to enter his password every time a user wants to download a free application.  Once a user has linked the iTunes account to his iOS 6-toting iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, a user won’t need his login details again – unless a user wants to make a purchase, with actual money. A user will be not asked for the password if the user is re-downloading a previously purchased application.

iOS 6 has in-app purchase protection
In iOS 5.1 some naughty hackers found a loophole that enabled them to steal in-app purchases, which may have cost some developers millions in lost revenue.  Apple has said that there will be no such problem in iOS 6 though, releasing a statement saying: “iOS 6 will address this vulnerability. If his application follows the best practices described below then it is not affected by this attack.”

iOS 6 could sport Bluetooth 4.0 bridge
It’s claimed Apple is working on a new feature in iOS 6 that uses Bluetooth 4.0 to act as a bridge between compatible devices, which could enable a future iPod to do a variety of tasks, such as making calls via an iPhone running iOS 6.

iOS 6 beta is revealing
Apple has removed its YouTube app from iOS 6, leaving Google to pick up the pieces and build its own version for the App Store.

iOS 6 should be adopted very quickly
Unlike other mobile operating systems, iOS isn’t dependent on mobile operators approving updates: as a result 80% of Apple’s 365 million iOS customers are using the latest operating system, compared to 7% ofAndroid users. Once iOS ships, expect a similarly speedy take-up.
iOS 6 doesn’t work on everything.
