First Look: Tom Bihn Ristretto bag for iPad

I blame Steve Sande for my newest iPad-related purchase. Well, there’s a lot of things to blame Steve for, but it was his reviews of the Tom Bihn Western Flyer and Checkpoint Flyer that had me checking out the company he bought the bags from last year. Tom Bihn is based in Seattle and has the distinction of being among those rare companies that still makes its products in the U.S. using mostly U.S.-produced materials. Only a few components are sourced from overseas, but those parts are fully disclosed. Tom Bihn was also had gear designed specifically iPad right off the bat, announcing its offerings — The Ristretto and the Cache for iPad — just hours after the original iPad announcement. The US$110 Ristretto, which also comes in a larger size designed to hold a MacBook, is a vertical messenger bag with a padded area that is large enough to hold a netbook or an iPad.

Samsung A777 Cell Phone Review–Hardly A Jackpot

Submitted by admin on April 22, 2010 – 1:19 pmNo Comment

samsung_a777I’ve come to enjoy Samsung phones–it seems like the mobile tech for Samsung is usually top notch or with only small difficulties. The Samsung A777, despite the implications of its name, however, is hardly a jackpot.

The Samsung A777 is a slider-style phone that offers voice dialing, call timer, voice recorder, speakerphone, Bluetooth connectivity, a phone book with capacity for a thousand name and number entries, mobile web, mobile email, text and instant messenger capability, MP3 player, 1.3 megapixel digital camera with 3x digital zoom, alarm clock, calendar, calculator, and a battery that will yield three hours of talk time on a single charge.

There are, as I said, small difficulties in the Samsung A777–the battery life is unconscionably short, and frankly, the monitor looks sadly low-resolution for a recent cell phone. But there are plenty of good features here, and most of the basics seem accounted for except for things like an FM radio. Though the MP3 player is close enough. After trying so many truly mindblowing cell phones, I’m somewhat disappointed by the sheer basicness of the A777.

Thus, the Samsung A777 is a solid enough buy, if somewhat lacking compared to the other possibilities available on the market.

The Good

Solid basic features

The Bad

Short battery life

Low resolution monitor

Score 6 / 10
