Transcend Digital Album

Posted: November 24th, 2004 | Author: Vitor | Filed under: Hardware | No Comments »

For those who have a digital camera and are looking for a portable storage device this Transcend Digital Album is a good choice.

You can quickly copy your digital camera’s flash card or Microdrive to the Digital Album and then go shoot more pictures. You can view JPEG still images or motion-JPEG movies Transcendon its high-resolution color LCD or a TV set using the supplied A-V cable and remote control. The DA can be used as a portable MP3 music player and comes with a set of earbud type headphones. It can record brief 10-second audio memos with its builtin microphone. And it’s also a plug-n-play 20GB portable hard drive for transferring data between PC or Mac computers.

$350 or €266 on Amazon. If you have a camera with Compact Flash cards you should pick the Archos Gmini 400 that has a built in slot for it, otherwise the best gadget on the market seems to be this Transcend because iRivier’s H320 does not support Sony/Canon machines.

Factory Outlet

Went to Factory Outlet in Vila do Conde (portuguese city near Oporto) this saturday - after my 3 hours Corporate Finance Exam - to relax a little and do some shopping but the the trip was totally wasted by the mess and confusion of hundreds of people that had the same idea.. Nothing special about the mall. The 30% off is not a convincing argument for me to go there again.

Seems that one of my life´s problems is solved:

ALLERCA is working to produce the world’s first hypoallergenic cats. These cats will allow some of the millions of people allergic to cats to enjoy the love and companionship of a household pet without suffering from allergy symptoms.via Photomatt

No, i´m not allergic to cats. But my fiancé is.. All that i need now is to raise $3,500.
