" Totally here but that let's start off by telling you lies about an amazing free forum and options."

" Wow wow world."

" I tried to dial 411 lately because if you had you know it's costing you a ring -- amount of money once it needs I think three bucks a pop. After a -- you can just jump online and find out the number on that thing called the Internet. -- here on the go Europe -- off creek. But then last night that is a free -- 11 -- has giving you a ton of new services and here yeah. Everybody who serves no Google as a search engine and now they've entered the free 411 market. Just dial 1800. GO OG four on one and follow the voice prompts to find and businesses by name or category."

" People want what did this. Our category."

" Starbucks. Concerns can dialed for you or text message the details including address your phone. Good for what one has a tough -- business -- but it pretty much found everything that I threw at it but it wants to dial for you so he got speak fast. -- Text message to the oldest service out there is something called free for a 11 and also known as 1800 free four and one and it distinguishes itself by letting you look at people as well as businesses. There's a little copy yet to Freeport when one adds that's how to can provide you the consumer free service. And sometimes that includes this."

" Call it object panic -- yeah."

" I'm okay you're okay -- and now."

" not interest and it takes at tab -- to get through -- 411 because it's constantly reading about what you said -- confirmed. But it does have a text messaging or direct dial option. So free for -- and one evidently is so good that even if tyrant kings is given her not a referral hundred FR eat all of want sleep for a lot of wine. But for some the ads are -- bus for me I'll put up with the ads save a buck yeah. So let's the actual service that there's gonna -- tell me dot com and they provide three services call text. Org and download their application to a variety of self I'll tell me so called service offers a variety of features including driving directions sports and weather news stock quotes movie times and horoscopes along with the 411 service -- these text option really does work great all you do is play again. The category are business. Along with the city in stated. And just send -- not Ted how neat is GE LL and this. But the only problem this is. It doesn't support all local carriers so yeah check that out the download service works with only some phones from sprint and eighteen T. It is still in beta and it. My pearl however is supported so this tell -- stirs is my favorite out of the bunch I was able to -- application on my -- desktop. And can get info I need quicker than I had a yellow pages and with me. That's mentioning is neat option a look at the map get directions replace a direct call. So personally I've found -- downloadable application to be the most convenient and endless options it was the most reliable. All of these have voice recognition software and it's still a little shadow so I like going through actual phone. Bottom line though people this is free information and they should definitely check that."

" Are right so sounds interesting not but I'm skeptical of pressure so let's see that it could -- tell me -- ethics and give me a city and state of Billings Montana. Okay."

" This is actually did tell me service is pretty cool if you can't like I like -- text messaging option. Yeah text message what you want but I did in Los Angeles I looked up a restaurant called -- which is. Like the hot dogs and I -- you should just call me it's already -- between Santa Monica and sons I want to test the service and around and couldn't find it. Ladies and couldn't find any other option to get the key precincts we finishing -- business -- gunshot. So -- I like the service of the better then Google in the car I don't like calling me can't you just text messaging and getting. But what if you're driving. You should not --"

" I -- you might have been okay yeah there's -- there's some there's a voice activation. Oh that's cool but I wouldn't I but it's not as. Petition -- let's see the gunshot. Is. But looking at all let's go -- that's."

" Yeah that's right yeah yeah yeah everybody knows about every list that the the actual jingle is when you wanna go in those seen butts and so when you ladies you -- well it's got and you've got your bugs me now and it lets you look so bad gun sales that it gives you the address on you can call you can map and can get directions from it from. And are very vocation hang out in Los Angeles does -- based nine GPS data. From your phone or -- to actually -- set -- a location -- where -- while this is cool it's pretty it's pretty it's pretty well."

" And I don't like that calling for -- 11 can even -- driving I'm not -- any for a loan service that might be you know I like to write the number down or something yeah it's the phone. Race is not to work."

" And I didn't realize I mean I knew that they charged you for four when service but I had no idea that it was like it's lately and it's like. Buying gasoline at so Britain now lets me get this music I don't know how they're making money yet offer this coming option now. Because they're not giving any ads that dozens and adds -- I don't know how they're doing it gets -- up there know how they're doing this and actually making a -- Here's the only. Thing is set my phone actually has been. Kind of a little buggy ever since I download this application. -- the only thing. Incidentally my phone that worked great hole is small probably not I put an application on and suddenly it's not my problem is you can maybe you could bury got a little more principle I'm not gonna get that dramatic -- they don't know that this application or maybe like one another one that I. Every thousand emails you haven't read figured I know I have -- I -- I don't know exactly -- but there's absolutely you have this service and you noticed -- on your phone you should probably let us know about so we like confirm it yet."

" Yes absolutely. Okay coming up next I took -- gadget for the people on the go except it's not a self. Wow wow."

" It's not TV it's not a smart phone it's not a tablet PC either. Nokia calls in 800 Internet tablet it connects to the Internet through Wi-Fi or your cell phone with a Bluetooth connection. The opera nine constantly -- you post website exactly the way you would on your desktop there's flash support -- can visit sites like YouTube. It's streaming video works -- are still a tad choppy. It's under about 480 resolution display looks up the amazing with the website but is -- make it tough to beat after all that it's played only four inches. Thank believe there's this new feature. Any hackers also media player for music video pictures and even streaming Internet radio. Media distorted 256. Megabytes of flash memory or in either of tools as -- or and then -- expansion slots. A 120 megabyte -- included. -- it tunes it supports various formats like AT&T. VW. Made even real audio. The 800 has its share of problems it all starts with a video. There's a BI mpeg four H 263 and real video support to surprisingly there's no doubt be in the -- that would support W unpaid. And none of the -- like formats like its big war I was hard pressed to find anything to plan the N 800. But it's only part of what it does if there's an email client and I am from Google Talk and Jabber quite limited if he asked me. There's a little webcam for video calling -- never found the way to use it even -- Nokia's own software that's in beta calls never came through. And the content matters really limit to the messaging capabilities of the -- 800 there's -- appeal for addresses. Plus there's no syncing with the PC and finally there's not even a calendar function. The best features a home screen with its RSS feed reader it's a one stop shop for the day's news and my favorite application. There's no question -- and hundreds of pretty cool device has atomic capability. And we know what it what's it for you to just for the obsessively connected."

" So here's the thing about this originally was assigned to me to review and I spent about a week put it --"

" And just couldn't figure out. What it's for. So I gave it a hot and I said unload you know like meaning I gotta take on this that that that's more. Insightful on mine and an on."

" It's really for people is where we're cancer people who want next week's sexy phone. Without the phone can -- They want they want Smartphone capabilities but not that smart but like on this side of Smartphones they want if -- aren't they don't want a phone it won't -- it's not."

" They want it's not the small I mean that's like not the little acidity limits that we heard about diseases like okay so for instance you use this -- browse yet you know webpages that on my Smartphone. You still wouldn't yes I would never try to bring a powerful web page so for people that kind of do you just want Internet on the go comes -- the device against war hundred -- too expensive but I'm gonna -- that yeah it's the there's always sensory."

" For yourself yeah yeah. But these might you know on -- you're not the you'll know well it's it's inconvenient is more convenient to Kerry and that's -- if you like small let them raise or something you'd you don't have the capability to do what this -- right but you may want that feature every now gets in the morning commute and this I can see it being useful. But there's some problems."

" That's what a lot of people a lot of the people at Slashdot there was a thread about this on Slashdot about three weeks ago I -- so I went and read it to -- you like it there was something I was missing and that was the general consensus if you -- you're trained -- and you don't want to carry your laptop with you for whatever reason it is a fairly portable way to go clear RSS feeds in and -- You know you're you're not mail in the morning in those sorts of things but he just can't compose an email comment."

" It's what the big big problem where that. Is that it does not --"

" Take anything ever at all I could."

" Not that there's the content up front pages the contact section and -- you can't get down get the important I'll -- about it the instructions when you can you actually look through the manual. And it didn't mention it. There's no mention how you actually get. Anything to say they -- nothing uh huh that's why you're get page ending nothing comments you will get edit documents. And edit that. It's not all yeah ours and slots and things yeah I think 128 megs inside secret -- we help all those music that it does. A lot of songs and Europe. Why would you carry it would get this area."

" So it seems like it's a cool idea it's neat technology it's way too expensive."

" And I'm we're not exactly sure what the killer app for it is so individual audience if you that I have one of these or know somebody who does and there's something that we're missing on this -- it seems really cool I'd like I'd just like -- just like to know like what's gonna close up last mile of should I get -- should I not get it and -- while you go look at that stuff."

" Check out this package about a it digital media center that runs Linux."

" are wild world."

" We've seen a lot of big bulky loud immediacy --"

" But here's a slim and quiet alternative. And don't -- small size fool you this little guy packs quite a punch. If you love movies and music as much as I do you probably have a lot of dvds and -- cluttering up every horizontal -- in your house. -- producers -- in your CDs and most Whitney Houston and George Michael. Let that sink -- for. Anyway want to clean up all of your horizontal surfaces a great thing to do is take your media and put it on a server for storage and streaming. The end X 760 HD and is a Linux based. Wireless capable solution."

" First off the end it does not include a hard drive so you'll need to get why this is a great way to save money. It's slotted for IBE not sodom which might be an issue for you speed freaks and and hard drive doesn't necessarily it's not please leave -- need to use -- One of the greatest features on the indexes in support for pretty much every music video and photo file format in the history of the universe. This thing will play he's -- at the moment. Now on the back past dvi component or composite. S video an optical connections there's no HDMI. This is a problem here and future. In -- HDP and -- can handle resolutions up to 1920 by 1080 I right no of the peace."

" The navigation is simple and intuitive it's a lot easier to use remote control. But the GY is not the prettiest thing in the world that's gonna bother some people but let's face it not everything is gonna be as -- Apple TV. There's -- US."

" B port on the back so theoretically you should be able to play files directly from the US easier US. The hard drive. Unfortunately no one from the digital team -- US -- commandos was able to make that work we're spending time -- support -- trying to figure out right now. This is a film called the living C and -- streaming off the hard drive and 1080 guy. Problem real close you see a tiny little bit of artifact that -- sitting back into normal distance the picture quality out of this you really can't -- The video quality when running out of the hard drive is very -- No streaming media over wireless networking it's hit or miss being a better quality he's wired connection letting him. You really wanted to crystal clear images you're gonna need to put it straight into our hands."

" I really like the convicts but it is absolutely not a consumer level product. There's a really good testing you can take right now the comfort of your home to determine if this is something that's right for you. If you know how to set a jumper on a hard drive and install a new machine and sure all the settings in configurations are correct and it's readable by the motherboard. You're gonna have any trouble at all candidates and it's probably something you have a good time configuration setting up if what I just said -- you wanna run the other way screaming and wrap yourself from Microsoft blanket. Then you're probably not gonna have a good time with the -- makes it should look elsewhere there's one final thing. It's a Linux based product. And like all Linux based products it has tremendous. Community support. The support forums or informative constantly updated in heavily participated in by people from all over the world. There's extensive documentation at home very very easy to understand. Well if you're tinkering kinda guy and you want to be a media server I think it's a great place to start."

" So there's a very important disclaimer that goes along with this product this actually belongs to me was given to me by some friends of mine network I think -- because they thought I would think it was cool long before I was associated with a digital. And I thought it was such cool product that I wanted to bring it in. And share it with the audience normally we have an incredibly hard editorial line and like a gigantic. The great wall of China firewall between. Stuff that we -- give in and things that we review. And it's really important to me that the audience knows that this is something that belongs to me it was given to me is a -- and we do not engage ever on and digital enterprise of Michael give me this thing and I'll review it. Because I would do this so long and I thought it was cool I thought I would share it with with you guys feel free to complain in uniforms if you disagree with my choice. But only."

" Saying that I will complain about it's. Is the fact that I actually want to take up Microsoft -- blanket and wrap her up myself. And and like -- rock back and forth because this product is clearly. Overt not over my conceptual head but never mind practical -- like it will not. I would not he's not yet the fact that you say you lost me -- implicated. I mean in the -- I got my that I get an -- jumper cables but yeah yeah yeah about a what did you think."

" My biggest problem is the interface is cool. My -- Circa 1990s AD SLE -- just read -- windows 311 whenever you I mean yeah I gave like it look wasn't very clean and then -- other thing when I tried to set up and down my head I -- Couldn't connect."

" My wireless network that no let's face it -- the society has the space yet that's super lame and also the they did and it's built in wireless. Like connection wizard will only let you do WEP key you won't let you do a Adobe MI a.s WPH t at home -- there's so many computers it's elect a lot easier than -- and got the numbers stuff."

" So that's really really good."

" Arlington. Microsoft is gonna be sending Jessica her very own look. -- I'm sorry I know I can't I'm not -- it please file format which is pretty cool yeah. Yeah that the pretty young quite a lot of formats it's pretty cool and and obviously -- open source I guess in the ways that anyone can actually type and packet. Yeah like -- in the way that Apple."

" Like I said in the package the documentation. And and the user community is really great and it's not not a product that has a huge user base right now it's kind of like just filtering through you know it kind of does what I hoped the -- HD would do yeah and I mean it's it's it -- does a lot of the media things. And I just thought that it did it with with with much more possibility."

" I do what they acted like it's packets and you put your own hard drive and you can put. As these you want you yeah you're willing to put that 500 -- you can do which he says my biggest problem I have a hard drives back. On top like not in my computers back because I just went on is actually sitting on a giant stag -- yeah there's no. So I'm gonna. Uh huh -- cut back home again so that's something else that he expended something like something that Apple TV when people would do you know that well. Normally -- boxes yeah. Okay now."

" So now back because I'm -- I understand a little bit more here's a camera for active types. Whoa. Yeah."

" It here into outdoor sports and when it's legal action shots let me -- to the goat pro digital hero three camera designed to go and heard your adventures take you. Extracts immediately to your wrists and -- supper ready to shoot. Or you can find other creative ways to mount it like to -- handlebars of your fight. Two large shutter button -- Issue even with gloves on. And it's house in a waterproof case seeking it out there -- to a hundred feet deep."

" Hero three is a three megapixel still camera that shoots up to three frames per second and it also shoots video at 640 X 480 -- Certain frames per second image in video quality is better than I expected and it's something that almost looks like a toy. They're sixteen megabytes of memory built an and it SD card slot for adding more it's hard right to AAA batteries and hasn't -- off function. All right yeah so there. There are some limitations -- today it. There's no way if frames -- your shots it's all there is is this tiny LL CD -- here it's gonna hit the numbers that's taken and other real basic information. There's no flash. Or zone so this is gonna be strictly for outdoor use. Fell as low set at CES they hero three definitely is gonna be the camera for everybody. But now I have it on I forming getting. For the sports enthusiast. That is on the go that lets you get those action shots. There's no more digging in the bag you get the -- have to get the perfect shot it's all right."

" Jessica really enjoyed."

" Watching that package. -- while she laughs or fell into a coma and this is one of those products and I look that will -- CSX and I thought. This is lame until I put it on and I thought oh this is actually kinda cool. So in practice and practice it is it is overall a really cool they're couple -- I have about it. One is it do look at your handlebars you really yeah the only can't keep straight away. And it also a year and compromising your safety because. You're writing in taking pictures and these two actions. Can kind of contradict each other -- kid. An accident you're gonna have to be careful what gas and going right in photograph at the same time people like you say we'll be your own right. He knew. If you wearing under your wrist and you're just not it's same thing applies here. Doing anything you're not -- reach over night tentative okay I think that that's part about it is that. In that you can be -- and then had a camera on the ready for that when you stop. And you can might take pictures I envisioned initially was like I'm on the -- and each. -- an inch and like it just isn't an option that it's not like that for wire sports -- wholly recommend it or like. Aired in an air combat air cleaning their sports here's parts yet they were a big fan -- kind of digital editing I think that they that would be ideal as well so all I -- to cool -- for adventure sports yeah and the price for what you get seems really really fair it was very very good value. Which is something we have not been seen recently with a lot of the products we -- reviewing the price has been very high on -- right so this is one of those things to finally break that trend right I think actually snowboarders key would be get through. It jumps -- mind saying yeah give a poll. Yet -- yet polls and then it's like you got a -- Probably all it can picture. -- I just asked if he got the skills you don't -- any kind of -- did it matter I have multitask. The we can we also as say they think you right now to our sponsors. That -- yes yeah. And it and godaddy godaddy and not good at -- once again."

" I have to www. Netflix.com classes visually yet to meet greet them and we actually discovered this feature you can actually watch it now which is streaming. Movie thank you it's."

" It's called watch that now and it's -- should he have like a limited package which I have a site three dvds at a time for that. Fifteen to seventeen bucks. That you get eighteen hours of this downloadable streaming. Movies and TV that we could triple -- it's the eight actor actresses if we article as it isn't in that you know actually could use the only -- It's going for PCs so acts day."

" It's if -- buy it but if but if I can just be a naysayer on this for for just a minute this is so if this is so infected with DRM. That it's I think it's it's it's a useless service you have to have Internet Explorer installed. You have to run in the windows media center and you cannot put it are like view it on any other machine doesn't work I natively on the Mac and you know clearly doesn't run on links -- The one -- that's it that's just a nonstarter for me -- That's right -- I hadn't."

" Don't parallels has tried out."

" Mike you know my Mac to run windows like and try it and we've got -- the last outing an Avis are gonna actually try it -- like yeah I. It all those things applied it will I can try it again it is up forms --"

" But two weeks because he's that's. Yet to be they always look at. Okay and the other want to mention is that system has a new episode -- so he should be out after prime about the same this is trivia today you'd. Clogging. -- sure what with the RR RUN system like dating now are you still his friends booted. It's it's weird I casual relationship outlets that I'm happy for you guys. Yeah it's not. Began -- eventually what will happen it will we're hoping for is that when we look at something they'll take it in money. There's something now offered it to something else thought of a transformer -- experience. Would you I don't look left right and what we're really gonna -- and don't forget the cut off. Take care see you next time --"

" We'll talk you down."

Buying gasoline at so Britain now lets me get this music I don't know how they're making money yet offer this coming option now. Because they're not giving any ads that dozens and adds -- I don't know how they're doing it gets -- up there know how they're doing this and actually making a -- Here's the only. Thing is set my phone actually has been. Kind of a little buggy ever since I download this application. -- the only thing. Incidentally my phone that worked great hole is small probably not I put an application on and suddenly it's not my problem is you can maybe you could bury got a little more principle I'm not gonna get that dramatic -- they don't know that this application or maybe like one another one that I. Every thousand emails you haven't read figured I know I have -- I -- I don't know exactly -- but there's absolutely you have this service and you noticed -- on your phone you should probably let us know about so we like confirm it yet."

" Yes absolutely. Okay coming up next I took -- gadget for the people on the go except it's not a self. Wow wow."

" It's not TV it's not a smart phone it's not a tablet PC either. Nokia calls in 800 Internet tablet it connects to the Internet through Wi-Fi or your cell phone with a Bluetooth connection. The opera nine constantly -- you post website exactly the way you would on your desktop there's flash support -- can visit sites like YouTube. It's streaming video works -- are still a tad choppy. It's under about 480 resolution display looks up the amazing with the website but is -- make it tough to beat after all that it's played only four inches. Thank believe there's this new feature. Any hackers also media player for music video pictures and even streaming Internet radio. Media distorted 256. Megabytes of flash memory or in either of tools as -- or and then -- expansion slots. A 120 megabyte -- included. -- it tunes it supports various formats like AT&T. VW. Made even real audio. The 800 has its share of problems it all starts with a video. There's a BI mpeg four H 263 and real video support to surprisingly there's no doubt be in the -- that would support W unpaid. And none of the -- like formats like its big war I was hard pressed to find anything to plan the N 800. But it's only part of what it does if there's an email client and I am from Google Talk and Jabber quite limited if he asked me. There's a little webcam for video calling -- never found the way to use it even -- Nokia's own software that's in beta calls never came through. And the content matters really limit to the messaging capabilities of the -- 800 there's -- appeal for addresses. Plus there's no syncing with the PC and finally there's not even a calendar function. The best features a home screen with its RSS feed reader it's a one stop shop for the day's news and my favorite application. There's no question -- and hundreds of pretty cool device has atomic capability. And we know what it what's it for you to just for the obsessively connected."

" So here's the thing about this originally was assigned to me to review and I spent about a week put it --"

" And just couldn't figure out. What it's for. So I gave it a hot and I said unload you know like meaning I gotta take on this that that that's more. Insightful on mine and an on."

" It's really for people is where we're cancer people who want next week's sexy phone. Without the phone can -- They want they want Smartphone capabilities but not that smart but like on this side of Smartphones they want if -- aren't they don't want a phone it won't -- it's not."

" They want it's not the small I mean that's like not the little acidity limits that we heard about diseases like okay so for instance you use this -- browse yet you know webpages that on my Smartphone. You still wouldn't yes I would never try to bring a powerful web page so for people that kind of do you just want Internet on the go comes -- the device against war hundred -- too expensive but I'm gonna -- that yeah it's the there's always sensory."

" For yourself yeah yeah. But these might you know on -- you're not the you'll know well it's it's inconvenient is more convenient to Kerry and that's -- if you like small let them raise or something you'd you don't have the capability to do what this -- right but you may want that feature every now gets in the morning commute and this I can see it being useful. But there's some problems."

" That's what a lot of people a lot of the people at Slashdot there was a thread about this on Slashdot about three weeks ago I -- so I went and read it to -- you like it there was something I was missing and that was the general consensus if you -- you're trained -- and you don't want to carry your laptop with you for whatever reason it is a fairly portable way to go clear RSS feeds in and -- You know you're you're not mail in the morning in those sorts of things but he just can't compose an email comment."

" It's what the big big problem where that. Is that it does not --"

" Take anything ever at all I could."

" Not that there's the content up front pages the contact section and -- you can't get down get the important I'll -- about it the instructions when you can you actually look through the manual. And it didn't mention it. There's no mention how you actually get. Anything to say they -- nothing uh huh that's why you're get page ending nothing comments you will get edit documents. And edit that. It's not all yeah ours and slots and things yeah I think 128 megs inside secret -- we help all those music that it does. A lot of songs and Europe. Why would you carry it would get this area."

" So it seems like it's a cool idea it's neat technology it's way too expensive."

" And I'm we're not exactly sure what the killer app for it is so individual audience if you that I have one of these or know somebody who does and there's something that we're missing on this -- it seems really cool I'd like I'd just like -- just like to know like what's gonna close up last mile of should I get -- should I not get it and -- while you go look at that stuff."

" Check out this package about a it digital media center that runs Linux."

" are wild world."

" We've seen a lot of big bulky loud immediacy --"

" But here's a slim and quiet alternative. And don't -- small size fool you this little guy packs quite a punch. If you love movies and music as much as I do you probably have a lot of dvds and -- cluttering up every horizontal -- in your house. -- producers -- in your CDs and most Whitney Houston and George Michael. Let that sink -- for. Anyway want to clean up all of your horizontal surfaces a great thing to do is take your media and put it on a server for storage and streaming. The end X 760 HD and is a Linux based. Wireless capable solution."

" First off the end it does not include a hard drive so you'll need to get why this is a great way to save money. It's slotted for IBE not sodom which might be an issue for you speed freaks and and hard drive doesn't necessarily it's not please leave -- need to use -- One of the greatest features on the indexes in support for pretty much every music video and photo file format in the history of the universe. This thing will play he's -- at the moment. Now on the back past dvi component or composite. S video an optical connections there's no HDMI. This is a problem here and future. In -- HDP and -- can handle resolutions up to 1920 by 1080 I right no of the peace."

" The navigation is simple and intuitive it's a lot easier to use remote control. But the GY is not the prettiest thing in the world that's gonna bother some people but let's face it not everything is gonna be as -- Apple TV. There's -- US."

" B port on the back so theoretically you should be able to play files directly from the US easier US. The hard drive. Unfortunately no one from the digital team -- US -- commandos was able to make that work we're spending time -- support -- trying to figure out right now. This is a film called the living C and -- streaming off the hard drive and 1080 guy. Problem real close you see a tiny little bit of artifact that -- sitting back into normal distance the picture quality out of this you really can't -- The video quality when running out of the hard drive is very -- No streaming media over wireless networking it's hit or miss being a better quality he's wired connection letting him. You really wanted to crystal clear images you're gonna need to put it straight into our hands."

" I really like the convicts but it is absolutely not a consumer level product. There's a really good testing you can take right now the comfort of your home to determine if this is something that's right for you. If you know how to set a jumper on a hard drive and install a new machine and sure all the settings in configurations are correct and it's readable by the motherboard. You're gonna have any trouble at all candidates and it's probably something you have a good time configuration setting up if what I just said -- you wanna run the other way screaming and wrap yourself from Microsoft blanket. Then you're probably not gonna have a good time with the -- makes it should look elsewhere there's one final thing. It's a Linux based product. And like all Linux based products it has tremendous. Community support. The support forums or informative constantly updated in heavily participated in by people from all over the world. There's extensive documentation at home very very easy to understand. Well if you're tinkering kinda guy and you want to be a media server I think it's a great place to start."

" So there's a very important disclaimer that goes along with this product this actually belongs to me was given to me by some friends of mine network I think -- because they thought I would think it was cool long before I was associated with a digital. And I thought it was such cool product that I wanted to bring it in. And share it with the audience normally we have an incredibly hard editorial line and like a gigantic. The great wall of China firewall between. Stuff that we -- give in and things that we review. And it's really important to me that the audience knows that this is something that belongs to me it was given to me is a -- and we do not engage ever on and digital enterprise of Michael give me this thing and I'll review it. Because I would do this so long and I thought it was cool I thought I would share it with with you guys feel free to complain in uniforms if you disagree with my choice. But only."

" Saying that I will complain about it's. Is the fact that I actually want to take up Microsoft -- blanket and wrap her up myself. And and like -- rock back and forth because this product is clearly. Overt not over my conceptual head but never mind practical -- like it will not. I would not he's not yet the fact that you say you lost me -- implicated. I mean in the -- I got my that I get an -- jumper cables but yeah yeah yeah about a what did you think."

" My biggest problem is the interface is cool. My -- Circa 1990s AD SLE -- just read -- windows 311 whenever you I mean yeah I gave like it look wasn't very clean and then -- other thing when I tried to set up and down my head I -- Couldn't connect."

" My wireless network that no let's face it -- the society has the space yet that's super lame and also the they did and it's built in wireless. Like connection wizard will only let you do WEP key you won't let you do a Adobe MI a.s WPH t at home -- there's so many computers it's elect a lot easier than -- and got the numbers stuff."

" So that's really really good."

" Arlington. Microsoft is gonna be sending Jessica her very own look. -- I'm sorry I know I can't I'm not -- it please file format which is pretty cool yeah. Yeah that the pretty young quite a lot of formats it's pretty cool and and obviously -- open source I guess in the ways that anyone can actually type and packet. Yeah like -- in the way that Apple."

" Like I said in the package the documentation. And and the user community is really great and it's not not a product that has a huge user base right now it's kind of like just filtering through you know it kind of does what I hoped the -- HD would do yeah and I mean it's it's it -- does a lot of the media things. And I just thought that it did it with with with much more possibility."

" I do what they acted like it's packets and you put your own hard drive and you can put. As these you want you yeah you're willing to put that 500 -- you can do which he says my biggest problem I have a hard drives back. On top like not in my computers back because I just went on is actually sitting on a giant stag -- yeah there's no. So I'm gonna. Uh huh -- cut back home again so that's something else that he expended something like something that Apple TV when people would do you know that well. Normally -- boxes yeah. Okay now."

" So now back because I'm -- I understand a little bit more here's a camera for active types. Whoa. Yeah."

" It here into outdoor sports and when it's legal action shots let me -- to the goat pro digital hero three camera designed to go and heard your adventures take you. Extracts immediately to your wrists and -- supper ready to shoot. Or you can find other creative ways to mount it like to -- handlebars of your fight. Two large shutter button -- Issue even with gloves on. And it's house in a waterproof case seeking it out there -- to a hundred feet deep."

" Hero three is a three megapixel still camera that shoots up to three frames per second and it also shoots video at 640 X 480 -- Certain frames per second image in video quality is better than I expected and it's something that almost looks like a toy. They're sixteen megabytes of memory built an and it SD card slot for adding more it's hard right to AAA batteries and hasn't -- off function. All right yeah so there. There are some limitations -- today it. There's no way if frames -- your shots it's all there is is this tiny LL CD -- here it's gonna hit the numbers that's taken and other real basic information. There's no flash. Or zone so this is gonna be strictly for outdoor use. Fell as low set at CES they hero three definitely is gonna be the camera for everybody. But now I have it on I forming getting. For the sports enthusiast. That is on the go that lets you get those action shots. There's no more digging in the bag you get the -- have to get the perfect shot it's all right."

" Jessica really enjoyed."

" Watching that package. -- while she laughs or fell into a coma and this is one of those products and I look that will -- CSX and I thought. This is lame until I put it on and I thought oh this is actually kinda cool. So in practice and practice it is it is overall a really cool they're couple -- I have about it. One is it do look at your handlebars you really yeah the only can't keep straight away. And it also a year and compromising your safety because. You're writing in taking pictures and these two actions. Can kind of contradict each other -- kid. An accident you're gonna have to be careful what gas and going right in photograph at the same time people like you say we'll be your own right. He knew. If you wearing under your wrist and you're just not it's same thing applies here. Doing anything you're not -- reach over night tentative okay I think that that's part about it is that. In that you can be -- and then had a camera on the ready for that when you stop. And you can might take pictures I envisioned initially was like I'm on the -- and each. -- an inch and like it just isn't an option that it's not like that for wire sports -- wholly recommend it or like. Aired in an air combat air cleaning their sports here's parts yet they were a big fan -- kind of digital editing I think that they that would be ideal as well so all I -- to cool -- for adventure sports yeah and the price for what you get seems really really fair it was very very good value. Which is something we have not been seen recently with a lot of the products we -- reviewing the price has been very high on -- right so this is one of those things to finally break that trend right I think actually snowboarders key would be get through. It jumps -- mind saying yeah give a poll. Yet -- yet polls and then it's like you got a -- Probably all it can picture. -- I just asked if he got the skills you don't -- any kind of -- did it matter I have multitask. The we can we also as say they think you right now to our sponsors. That -- yes yeah. And it and godaddy godaddy and not good at -- once again."

" I have to www. Netflix.com classes visually yet to meet greet them and we actually discovered this feature you can actually watch it now which is streaming. Movie thank you it's."

" It's called watch that now and it's -- should he have like a limited package which I have a site three dvds at a time for that. Fifteen to seventeen bucks. That you get eighteen hours of this downloadable streaming. Movies and TV that we could triple -- it's the eight actor actresses if we article as it isn't in that you know actually could use the only -- It's going for PCs so acts day."

" It's if -- buy it but if but if I can just be a naysayer on this for for just a minute this is so if this is so infected with DRM. That it's I think it's it's it's a useless service you have to have Internet Explorer installed. You have to run in the windows media center and you cannot put it are like view it on any other machine doesn't work I natively on the Mac and you know clearly doesn't run on links -- The one -- that's it that's just a nonstarter for me -- That's right -- I hadn't."

" Don't parallels has tried out."

" Mike you know my Mac to run windows like and try it and we've got -- the last outing an Avis are gonna actually try it -- like yeah I. It all those things applied it will I can try it again it is up forms --"

" But two weeks because he's that's. Yet to be they always look at. Okay and the other want to mention is that system has a new episode -- so he should be out after prime about the same this is trivia today you'd. Clogging. -- sure what with the RR RUN system like dating now are you still his friends booted. It's it's weird I casual relationship outlets that I'm happy for you guys. Yeah it's not. Began -- eventually what will happen it will we're hoping for is that when we look at something they'll take it in money. There's something now offered it to something else thought of a transformer -- experience. Would you I don't look left right and what we're really gonna -- and don't forget the cut off. Take care see you next time --"

" We'll talk you down."
