When traveling with a digital camera you can snap away and it isn't long before you have captured hundreds of pictures. It can be quite a drag, however, when you find that you are running out of memory.
As a result, digital camera fanatics have been racking their brains to find out what can be done to shake off the hassle of changing memory sticks when they are on a photo-snapping spree.
To satisfy an increasingly demanding public, innovative manufacturers of electronic products have recently come up with a novel idea to store, view and share digital photos, movies and music -- all in a hassle-free way.
What they have come up with has been temporarily termed by some a "portable photo storage viewer."
Though an official name for the device has yet to be settled, some manufacturers are calling this sleek gadget with huge storage space a Portable Media Player (PMP), while yet others have named it a Personal Video Player (PVP).
Whatever it's called, it turns the tables on the notion of a portable music player, also known as an MP3 player, by supplying images in addition to sound.
The PMP (or PVP) offers far more than what a simple photo player can provide. It displays not only photographs, but also plays your favorite videos. Music can also be accessed and enjoyed at the press of a few buttons -- wherever you are and without worrying about when you will run out of memory. The various models launched by different manufacturers all feature a built-in 20GB hard drive for storage.
In addition to the huge storage space, a PMP likely sports a crystal-clear 3.5-inch TFT-LCD screen with 320 by 240 pixel resolution and 262,000 colors.
You can also download audio content directly into the player from other home or portable devices and it supports video playback in a number of formats such as AVI, MOV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI video files, and even MPEG-4, which is why it has also been called an "MP4 Player"
The PC savvy and early movers in the tech scene may also be concerned about the price, size, and battery life of this killer toy, but there is little to worry about in this department.
This all-encompassing device can be seen as your personal entertainment center and it also has great potential for commercial use.
Hypermarkets, outlets, convenience stores and so forth can use it as an electronic catalogue to advertise their goods, and salespeople can flaunt their products via this eye-catching gadget.
If you are in the market for a better way to store, carry around and share your photos, music and movies, you will definitely dig this hand held portable digital media player.
The Portuguese never established a presence on Taiwan, but they must have traded with the indigenous people because later traders reported that the locals referred to parts of deer using Portuguese words. What goods might the Portuguese have offered their indigenous trade partners? Among them must have been slaves, for the Portuguese dealt slaves across Asia. Though we often speak of “Portuguese” ships, imagining them as picturesque vessels manned by pointy-bearded Iberians, in Asia Portuguese shipping between local destinations was crewed by Asian seamen, with a handful of white or Eurasian officers. “Even the great carracks of 1,000-2,000 tons which plied
It’s only half the size of its more famous counterpart in Taipei, but the Botanical Garden of the National Museum of Nature Science (NMNS, 國立自然科學博物館植物園) is surely one of urban Taiwan’s most inviting green spaces. Covering 4.5 hectares immediately northeast of the government-run museum in Taichung’s North District (北區), the garden features more than 700 plant species, many of which are labeled in Chinese but not in English. Since its establishment in 1999, the site’s managers have done their best to replicate a number of native ecosystems, dividing the site into eight areas. The name of the Coral Atoll Zone might
On Monday morning, in quick succession, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) released statements announcing “that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and General Secretary Xi Jinping (習近平) have invited KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文) to lead a delegation on a visit to the mainland” as the KMT’s press release worded it. The KMT’s press release added “Chairwoman Cheng expressed her gratitude for the invitation and has gladly accepted it.” Beijing’s official Xinhua news release described Song Tao (宋濤), head of the Taiwan Work Office of the CCP Central Committee, as
Nuclear power is getting a second look in Southeast Asia as countries prepare to meet surging energy demand as they vie for artificial intelligence-focused data centers. Several Southeast Asian nations are reviving mothballed nuclear plans and setting ambitious targets and nearly half of the region could, if they pursue those goals, have nuclear energy in the 2030s. Even countries without current plans have signaled their interest. Southeast Asia has never produced a single watt of nuclear energy, despite long-held atomic ambitions. But that may soon change as pressure mounts to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change, while meeting growing power needs. The
