Introducing the New Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid Finally, the new Wacom has released its newest tablets a few months ago. Unlike the Cintiq Companion which runs the Windows system, the new Cintiq Companion Hybrid is a crossover between the previous Cintiq 13 and an Android tablet. It features a Tegra 4 processor, one of the world's fastest processor offering both stability, efficiency and power. It is designed to be a portable tablet offering you the maximal efficiency when you are on the move. It also offers a special pen display similar to the previous Cintiq tablets but in addition you can now use multitouch gestures, predefined motions that helps you interact with your device. Comparing the Wacom Cintiq 13HD with the new Cintiq Companion Hybrid For established users of the Cintiq13HD, the two tablets have a very similar appearance initially. However, there are additional connection ports and camera. The dimensions are pretty similar as well, with only a very slight difference to the thickness between the two tablets. It is 14.8 inches wide by 9.8 inches tall. There are also rubber pads on the back to prevent the device from moving on the workstation. It does weigh much heavier than the original Android device but bear in mind this includes a pen display. Plus it also runs the Windows system adding compatibility with most modern programs and Office features. Previous productivity features such as ExpressKeys and Rocker Ring are translated to the newer hybrid. In addition, there are additional ports for plugging in USB sticks, a microSD reader, jack for headphones and a cable network port to connect with your home PC. There is also a camera on the front surface with a light sensor. There is a HDMI port to transfer your video or audio data to your digital audio device or the projector. The Rocker Ring has pretty much replaced the volume control. There is also a LED battery button to indicate whether the device is charging. You get the choice to connect to the internet wirelessly via Bluetooth or normal WiFi. Introducing the New Meizu M6 Miniplayer The Meizu M6 Miniplayer is one of the newer model MP3 Players recently introduced to the American market. Like other flash players such as Nano and e200, the Meizu M6 Miniplayer boasts of multiple functions including the ability to play different audio formats and having good capacity (3 different sizes up to 4 GB). Common codecs including WMV, MP3 and OGG are all supported by the device, as well as able to play video in the Xvid format. A Closer Look at the Features of the Meizu M6 The Meizu M6 Miniplayer comes with multiple accessories provided, including earbuds, a portable pouch and cloth to clean the surface if it gets dirty. There is also a USB cable and software to convert video to the supported format if desired. There is a manual but I don't find it necessary as it is pretty straight forward to operate. In particular, the four buttons are self explanatory with forward, backward, menu and play buttons. It has a pretty reliable design with scratch resistant surfaces on the front and back sides. On that aspect, it borrows heavily from other Apple iDevices such as the iPod in both design and function. Even the opening procedure is similar, with the slide and then tap to start the interface. The screen has a reasonable resolution (320 x 240) and gives you a good color display but not when looking from the side. Previous users have complained about the user interface but with the most recent update to the the device's firmware, the interface is running without a single hitch. With a full battery, the Meizu M6 Miniplayer should be able to run continuously for up to twenty hours. All in total, the M6 MiniPlayer is a worthy MP3 player and should be a serious contender for the MP3 market. The Nintendo DS Lite The Nintendo DS Lite has been recently introduced to the American market as a successor to the Nintendo DS, which is a portable gaming station. The difference is that the Nintendo DS Lite offers a dual screen system, with the touchscreen allowing the user to input commands with a pen device or just simply using your finger. It is a brilliant gaming device just like its predecessor and gives you additional control as well a enhanced graphics. The screen is bigger, better and offers sharper resolution compared to the older device. There are different brightness levels that you can adjust to your heart's delight. The downside with having a bright screen is that the battery doesn't last as long, especially if you are planning on playing your games outdoors. If you choose to conserve your battery it can last up to 20 hours. The Nintendo DS Lite, as the name suggests, is also a slimmer and slightly smaller version compared to the Nintendo DS. This increases its portability and means you can carry it around more easily. Some of the buttons have been rearranged to accommodate the changes. It has a backward compatibility with Game Boy Advance titles and just like its predecessor, you can connect with your fellow gamers via WiFi. If you have young kids, then the Nintendo DS Lite is a perfect buy as there are many more games designed for this age range for the Nintendo system. A Review of the Barnes and Noble Nook Glowlight With the arrival of the new Nook Glowlight, the featured front lighting is very innovative and has been copied by other companies such as Amazon. It is a well designed and lightweight device, allowing it to be carried around and improving on its front light feature. It is a major advance compared to its predecessor, the Nook Simple Touch. In particular, the new reader has a sleek design, with rounded corners and weighs much less and even compared to the new Kindle. The functionality is not compromised either - the buttons at the top allow you to maneuver your way forwards and backwards in the text. The GlowLight also allows you to adjust the brightness of the front light as well as having a battery indicator and allows you to connect via wireless. The page layout is similar to other readers, with the title at the top and page number at the bottom of the page. You can do a search or flick through to a different page with the controls at the bottom. In conclusion, the GlowLight has made some good advances and is a worthy competitor in the eReader market.
