Jobo's Giga Vu PRO:evolution

It's certainly been a while since we've heard from Jobo since the Giga Vue Pro, but it looks like they've got a new device out by the name of the Giga Vue Pro:evolution, which seems like a pretty apropos name. Besides a slightly revamped aesthetic, it's been blessed with a 3.8-inch VGA display in place of its old QVGA screen, drive options up to 120GB, and a replaceable battery (in addition to its CF slot, optional media adapter / WiFi kit, RAW / JPG playback, etc.). You'll pay between $500 and $900 depending on your preference of drive size though; only serious digital photographers need apply for an accessory like this guy.

One of the rare times I post off topic, but it's about time to see a proper link to www.DAPreview.net

[Ryan Block @ Mar 23rd 2006 1:13PM]

We link to them once or more a month, actually. They've been known to publish some good stuff from time to time, we're just not regular readers of their site.

Best, Ryan

Huh, that's an interesting comment, because it says "Via DAPreview."

Were you hoping for a Gold-plated plaque?

What??!! Only for serious digital photographers??!! This is everything I have hoped for from a media center pc. The DVI port, on-board MPEG-4 decoding, Linux, all these things give it a flexibility and (according to the robgalbraith.com review) a quality level beyond any portable media device I've seen. In many environments (travel, presentations, family gatherings) this will replace my laptop in a way that the UMPC can not hope to. This is far from being a specialist device.

If I could check my email with it, I could throw
out both my ipod and my travel laptop.

Actually, the image looks a lot like some type of fractal. I'm not sure what the equation is, but if you look at one of the lobes, it looks a bit like a stretched out Mandelbrot set. If someone knows where the imnage came from, let us know.

1G analog system for mobile communications saw two key improvements during the 1970s: the invention of the microprocessor and the digitization of the control link between the mobilephone and the cell site. AMPS ( Advance mobile phone system ) was first launched by US which is 1G mobile system. It is best on FDMA technology which allows users to make voice calls within one country.

3G systems promise faster communications services, including voice, fax and Internet, anytime and anywhere with seamless global roaming. ITU’s IMT-2000 global standard for 3G has opened the way to enabling innovative applications and services (e.g. multimedia entertainment, infotainment and location-based services, among others). The first 3G network was deployed in Japan in 2001. 2.5G networks, such as GPRS (Global Packet Radio Service) are already available in some parts of Europe.
3G technology supports 144 Kbps bandwidth, with high speed movement (e.g. vehicles), 384 Kbps (e.g. on campus) & 2 Mbps for stationary (e.g.inbuilding )
