OQO model e2 is a new comer in the UMPC market. Its powered by a VIA 1.6 GHz processor, 1GB DDR2 memory and comes with Wi-Fi. The 5 inch Screen is capable of a resolution of 800×480, and if this doesn’t suffice, you are free to connect to a display using the VGA, DVI, or HDMI outputs for a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200. Did I mentioned that it runs Windows Vista?
There is an option of a 120 GB hard drive, or a 32 GB solid state drive. A QWERTY keyboard (with a number pad) are designed into it, all in the size of a small notebook. At 450g, it’s heavy only to the weakest of geeks. Price is another matter, and the rumored figure is between £846 and £1,359 - making it heavy on your pocket. Pun not intended.
Media Player Classic might look like the old Microsoft Windows Media Player 6, but is in fact one of the most used media players around.
At around a megabyte in size, the player is much more compact than VLC or any of the others.
Lets look at some of the most important and useful features that also make Media Player Classic the player of choice for many.
Make it a default player:
View > Options. Click on Formats and then chose the formats you want the MPC to be the default player.
Fixing Audio Delay:
View > Options Click on Internal Filters > Audio Switchers. Enter a value Audio Shift in milliseconds.
Boosting Audio:
View > Options Click on Internal Filters > Audio Switchers. Now drag the slider to desired position. This may cause drastic audio if you slide it way too high.
Saving Screenshots:
Pause at your desired frame and then File > Save Image. If you want thumbnails from entire video clip, click on File > Save Thumbnails. Enter a file name and the number of rows and columns you want, click Save. An Image Sheet with the thumbnails and information on the video file will be saved.
Subtitles:
Media Player Classic has supported subtitles for quite a while now. However, there are a few changes to the renderer that need to be done before you can actually view them. Click on View > Options. Choose DirectShow VMR7 or VMR9 (renderless). Click OK and restart Media Player Classic. Now open the movie you want to watch, click on File > Load Subtitle and point to the subtitle file you have. You can customize the way of subtitles are rendered. Go to View > Options > Subtitles > Default Style. Here you can set the subtitles settings such as position, font, color, transparency etc.

Print, Scan, Fax, Copy and get photo prints all at a great price - seem impossible? Well, the Brother MFC-5460CN seems to be what you are looking for, at least at the first look. Like all brother MFDs, this one sports a no-nonsense, office look, with rugged built. It is quite small. At the front is a two line, backlit LCD indicator that reports a lot of data and also lets you access the control panel menu. The input paper tray can accommodate 100 pages, just enough for a small to medium office, and the 35 page ADF tray is foldable.

Connectivity is via USB and a network interface, but you will need to weave the wires through the provided channel into the heart of the device. The advantage: no accidental disconnections; disadvantages: it’s irritating, and wires may not last long due to all the twisting.
The inbuilt 33.6Kb/s fax can store up to 400 pages and its capable of broadcasting to up to 150 locations. The phonebook memory is 100 numbers.
Printing is slow; the printer took half a minute to print a simple text document in normal mode, and took over a minute to print the same in best mode. Print quality is decent and sharp. There is some amount of graininess in photo prints, but its good enough for the average home users. The copier does an excellent job. The software bundle consists of the MFL-Pro Suite (a short of control center), PaperPort SE with OCR (a definite plus), and even a Presto! PageManager OCR for Mac users.
At its price of $340, I can say, its a good buy, if you don’t mind waiting a bit for the print.
