Sure it’s another SiRF Star III receiver, but it hosts some convenient features like plugging into your car’s cigarette lighter power port, and transmitting information via Bluetooth or a wired USB connection. At $120 the convenience doesn’t come cheap, but think of all the savings if it stops you from smoking. Read the rest of this entry »

Samsung’s Next Gen Blu-ray BD-P1400 and BD-2400

January 22nd, 2007 by omer

Samsung‘s follow ups to the highly regarded BD-P1200 are here, and they are upgraded with audio format support for Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD. Everyone else looks pretty much the same, including this magic list: 24 frame support, HDMI 1.3, and ethernet. Except the 1400 doesn’t have that mind-blowing HQV video processor at $549 while the 2400 has it at $599 ($599 is the same price as the 1200, btw.) This slight improvement is ok, considering how great the previous model’s reviews and features were. Don’t mess with a good thing, just tweak it. Due in Sept/Oct respectively. Not necessarily worth waiting for over the current model, IMHO, if you have to buy now.
