GPS Tacking is giving more benefits to this new Garmin NUVI 765T.

An antiglare coating keeps the LCD screen viewable when sunlit and prevents excessive fingerprinting.

E-Book Reader-Sony PRS-500

The electronic book reader has been coming for a while, but the one impediment reason for books to really come into the digital world has been the absence of an affordable e-book reader that was any good. The good news is that Sony’s gotten a right with its PRS-500 Portable Reader System with reasonable price $300 and the most people know as the Sony Reader.

Sony PRS-500 coming with 6.9 inches tall by 4.9 inches wide by 0.5 inch deep and it’s heavier around 8.8 ounces  than a paperback because it is having a thin screen display with a metallic blue border. There are some touch buttons on the front along with an external memory card expansion slot on the side. In Sony PRS-500 the 600×800-pixel, four-gray scale screen measures approximately 4.9×3.6 inches. Technically, it’s having an electro-phoretic display, which Wikipedia describes as “an information shows that forms different visible images by rearranging charged pigment particles using an applied electric field.”

Overall, in Sony PRS-500 we liked the way of text is displayed on the screen. It was a little bit bothersome that when you turn a page, the screen takes one second to refresh. In Sony PRS-500 This is referred to as a “ghosting” effect and it appears to be an inherent downside to E Ink technology. We can also switch pages between landscape and portrait mode, though chances are we’ll naturally hold the device vertically like a book and stick to portrait mode most of the time.

For starters, we can import a variety of content, much of it free, from our Windows system to the device, though you have to use Sony’s Connect desktop software to move content to the device’s 64MB of internal memory. In Sony PRS-500 Another way to access content is to transfer it to an SD or Memory Stick card and slip it in the Reader’s expansion slot. However, we can download encrypted Sony eBooks from the internet Connect store using the Connect desktop software.

The Connect software is just like the Sony’s hardware. A little quirky and not easy to use, but once we get used to it, we can deal with it. The Reader is capable of displaying Text, RTF, Word, and e- Book files, as well as PDF files, though they won’t necessarily display properly because the PDF is scaled to fit the screen.

The Sony PRS-500 providing features for image viewer, so that we can view JPEG, GIF, and PNG files. As for audio, the Reader supports MP3 and AAC files but there’s no built-in speaker, however, so we can use headphones into the headphone jack to hear anything. The good advantage is we can read a book and listen to MP3 songs at the same time. Sony PRS-900 providing fully charged battery, we can turn 7,500 pages. And this eBook-reader is giving around 15-20 hours of battery life, and possibly more.
