5 This is a phone. The matt case backing seems like it can take a beating and the front is a full screen. It was tossed into my bag and rumbled around without any issues. The test device I had also came in a bundle with a case!

PORTABILITY
|
4 I think this is a very portable device given that it can be used to play video on your TV, via HDMI cable bundled into the package, but some had issues with the size!

EASE OF USE
|
4 This is an android 2.2 device that can be upgraded to a 2.3 operating system. It was easy to set up and there were items that could be bought from the Android Market. There are limitations to the YouTube 3D channel and games BUT it was possible to switch back and forth between the 2D and 3D mode. Basic device use was pretty obvious. I found a few of the functions in the systems folder counter intuitive at first but learned fast.There is still a cartoon feel to these devices.

Design and Form Factor
| 3 Black is good in the phone industry. 3D on a phone? Not sure that the gimmic is really necessary. There was an issue with using the 3D for extended periods, and the phone warns not to. The display was great but not excellent and there was noticable lag when playing the 3D games. As a game console it would have been nice to be more chunky, I know this is against what we usually ask with phones. Pretty standard LG look and feel if you like your LG you will like this phone! |

DSLR Camera – Sony SLTA35K)
Alpha 35
3,248 dirhams
Sony DSLR SLTA35K with 18-55mm + 75-300mm Lens Kit – Dhs.3499 + 4GB SD Card + Case + Branded Perfume Set OR Targus Pilot Case ( Valid for DSF promo until 5th Feb Only)
42 minutes of film on a 4GB card
-16.2megapixels
-full-time continuous auto focus
-7 frames per second
-full HD video
-quick AF movie
-15 point Auto focus
-3 inch fine LCD
Alpha lens is the key here!
Alpha lens and the A35 becomes a hybrid: it has the speed and image quality of a semi-pro shooter, and the body of a long zoom digicam
Movie capture. Sony's Translucent Mirror camera design brings its greatest benefit during movie capture, and so it's not surprising that the company's A35 continues to offer Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixel) video capture, Dolby Digital AC-3 audio, with the video feed derived from 29.97 frames per second sensor data. At lower resolutions, the Sony A35 stores its video in MP4 format with MPEG-4 AAC-LC audio, with a frame rate of 29.97 frames per second.
-USB2 and HDMI

3 Lovely camera but unlike some of the more common Canon, Nikon and other products, while weighty, left me worried about its ability to withstand the wear and tear of a vacation. Nice lenses that weren’t too bulky but again they made me feel, and this is only me, that they might not take well to a good rugged run

5 this is an easy camera to throw into a manbag and forget about

EASE OF USE

4 This is a camera that pretty much walks you through what you need to know. There are a good series of menus that in some cases were full of information and options that were really not necessary. Try to de complexify even more. Camera options are abundant and the movie option is also pretty easy to activate. The operation of the camera is new world but the buttons and such to adjust things are old school which I would like to see modified, maybe a touch screen and wifi!

| 5 Everyone who touched this camera loved the way it felt in their hand. From King Kong to Yoda, people with those size hands, seemed to feel at home with the camera and I have to give them credit for putting the buttons where they would be expected to be. |

DURABILITY

3 There is a whole lot of plastic here. I was surprised by the actual base at how cheap it was I was expecting something a bit more durable than a plastic ring that had to lock into the bottom of the unit. Generally this fan is made to last but at that I was also concerned by the number of electronic push buttons, bubble buttons. While this is a well engineered fan I wonder how long these pieces will last and about the electronic heat and fan component. there is nothing old school here.
