Gadgetell video review: Casio EX-Z150 8.1mp camera

Sweet. That is how I’d describe this camera. I am not sure if it is me getting used to their “Best Shot” system or what, but dialing this camera in for use seems super simple. Really, my only complaint is with extreme close up focusing (I love artsy pics) since I was unable to get anything but a blur.

Small, inexpensive at $179 in fashion colors. It is a winner in my book. Check out the video review and some sample images after the break.

Memeo: Share photos with your grandma

Updated: 9/25/2008. Memeo has announced the launch of Memeo Share 1.0, MemeoPhoto and a public preview of Memeo Share for the Mac. The services allow families and friends to share photos and video directly via PC, Mac, or the iPhone. It works by allowing users to set up “Sharing Circles” with the people they want to share with. Once completed Memeo Share runs in the background, automatically sending and receiving media and posting them to a private web gallery. This eliminates the hassles that come with emailing large image and video files.

The media is shared buy simply dragging and dropping from the desktop to the desired Sharing Circle. The photos and videos can be rated and commented on, and the application provides notification of all sharing activities. Members can choose what types of media they want to share or receive through filters based on media type, size, or rating. Memeo Share remembers users preferences once they are set.

Navigon intro’s the 2200T GPS, affordably priced with free traffic updates for life

Navigon has added yet another GPS model to their current lineup, and this time its certainly one for everyone to consider. The new model is the Navigon 2200T and it not only comes in at an affordable $229, but its also packed full of features. I have been a fan of Navigon since I got the chance to review the 2100 Max this past June, and the 2200T with its nice price and good feature set may be the model I begin to recommend.

Moving on, the 2200T features a 3.5-inch display and is “ultra-thin and portable” measuring in at less then 3/4 of an inch thick. The 2200T comes with free real-time traffic updates for life, Reality View Pro, Lane Assistant Pro, DirectHelp, text to speech as well as a fast destination entry thanks to Navigon’s SmartSpeller feature.

In addition users can also opt to get the FreshMaps updates which offers up to 12 maps over a three year period for $79.99. Currently, the Navigon 2200T availability date has not yet been announced. Keep reading for the full release;

Gadgetell Review: Jabra Sp700 – stop looking like a jerk

Product: Jabra SP700.Price and Availability: $99 out nowPros: Doesn’t make you look like a tool. Easily answer calls in your car. Makes not upgrading to the expensive new cars “tech package” a lot easier to live with. Sound is great, surround sound through speakers is even better.Cons: no air of superiority that comes with a headset (wait, maybe that should be in the Pros?)Overall: I’ve already ordered two for my cars. I give it 10/10

If you are like me, you’ll go to almost any length no to wear your bluetooth headset. An incoming call when I am in the car sends me fumbling around my front seats for the tiny headset, the awkward install into my ear and then my eyes are back on the road. Surely that is safer than just answer the phone?
