I am going to make this really quick, because I am heading to the lake to be with some friends.
I recently started a cam page over at camstreams.com to show my last days at work. It has a chat window so you can chat with me while I am at work. Check it out.
There is also a story that I tell there, so give it a visit and check it out, its gonna be awesome.
I recently purchased an Insignia 8GB pilot. It is a Video MP3 Player with Bluetooth.
Pros: affordable, clear screen, small, lightweight, sounds great, great video quality, plays avi, drag and drop Cons: wish I could connect to cellphones with the bluetooth to transfer files, wish it had wifi :)
"PROS: It has bluetooth built in. Unlike apple with their add ons , this has it built right in so you can use those motorokr headphones or any bluetooth headphones for that matter.
It has expandable storage. I just ordered a 8gig sdhc card for it for only $40, so that makes my total investment come to $211 and I have the same storage as an itouch.
Great sound quality. I have had ipods and others and this is on par. It even has a eq I can custom set to my liking. Great sound, for all you out there that want to write a review and complain about the sound, comes from good hear phones. The ones that come with it are ok, but not the greatest.
The video quality rocks. I have several episodes of my favorite shows and its soo quick to play them.
Simply encode them and drag and drop them and its good to go
I love being able to record radio with the touch of a button. The menu is though out great and being able to customize it is great too.
I made my m3u playlists using winamp and it works perfectly.
The tv-out is awesome and easier to navigate to than on the video ipod.
Can the itouch even do video out? I know the video ipod could but have not heard about it on the itouch, I know the iphone cant. Anyways its nice to know this device can. They thought of it all. and packaged it nice and kept it affordable which is key.
Now if it had wifi, and a way to browse, and stream internet stations, that would be champ.
CONS: Software is terrible , you dont need it other than the video software.
I only use the arcsoft to encode the videos that I want on it.
Cant bluetooth transfer a picture or mp3 to a friends cellphone.
Cant add my own backgrounds to the main screen.
It froze one time trying to look at a image that was rather large. I just held the power for tens seconds and it was cool. No need in struggling with getting the battery out as most have done. This is noted in the manual.
By the way, a reset didnt reset all my stuff. It simply turned it off when it was hung."
Ok so I am writing this very simple webpage to describe to everyone how I built, and put to use, a car computer aka "carpc" or "carputer" as some call it.
First let me tell you briefly how I got motivated to do such a thing.
There was a time back in 2005 I beleive it was, when I traveled from Mississippi to Louisianna quite a bit, and sometimes I would see some really awful accidents
