The final story about the "network" of Apple accessories to be very simple. In fact AirPort Extreme can not be called a thing of the category of "Run to buy". It is rather about the Express, after the article I started on a continuous basis to recommend it to many people, and so far seem to be offended is not found. Moreover, thanks to an interesting chip associated with the transfer of audio signals, it becomes even more attractive. Well, Extreme ... Well, that Extreme? Let's talk.
Long time no material caused a number of indignant responses. Australia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Germany, Belarus, Ukraine, Scandinavia ... It is noteworthy that many of the dozens of letters of only two or three came from the people of Russia. In this article I tried to experience not one of the country to talk about some problematic aspects of free incoming calls - apparently to avoid confusion, I should at the very beginning of the article state this in bold. Most wrote to "try" the material to their situation and commented on my "inaccuracies", "complete nonsense", "nonsense" and even "chauvinism" ... In general, try to fix in the future clearly indicate geographic location (or lack thereof).
Frankly, test with a smart face and buzz words in the review of simple column with a small per-thousand rubles no sense, it's like a mind to talk about the structure of toothpicks, so I move on to a brief description and impressions, and which deserve primary attention.
Test (non-commercial) exploitation of Internet-GPRS subscribers B + - probably the first case of such large-scale testing of a packet data network in the Russian GSM. Fairly long periods of free GPRS-access subscribers are already familiar and Beeline and MTS, however, in those times of potential consumers of services was much less, and phones with GPRS support was only a few models. Controversial, often polar opinions about the quality / availability of services under the current testing and ongoing discussions in various forums, show significantly increased popularity of mobile internet access. Theme was of interest to many readers Mobile Review, that caused us to ask questions directly to the "original source" - the leadership of the corporation Archive.
Jeans 0.07 "- OPTIMAsticheskaya tragedy for contract customers?
Unremarkable semi-winter's day on November 19 was rich in tariff news. "The new motif denim fashion" from MTS - $ 0.07 per minute outgoing call intranet. Without taxes and tariffs from 61 th second. Tariff Plan - "Jeans 0.07" - according to MTS, is a tariff from the category "Never Say" Call ". First impression - a frank step family contract tariff plans, "Optima". Indeed, the previous "hit of the season" from MTS ("super-Jeans") to some extent, competed with the "Optima", but had a very significant drawback - a high price on-net calls. The new "Agency" tariff plan, this "defect" is eliminated - 7 cents ($ 0.12, while charging for the first second) per minute on-net calls is more than a tempting offer. However, the thoughtful study of a new tariff plan, there are ... no, not the issues - rather, an understanding of global policy of the federal operator. At the same time - peaceful calm over contract MTS. No, "super-Jeans and performed by famous kinogeroya clearly does not reach the" optimistic "of tariffs. The reason is simple as jeans: simultaneously with the sharp decrease in the intra-minute MTS raised the cost of outgoing / incoming call on a landline phone to an impressive level of $ 0.45 (per second billing from the beginning of the conversation, with tax). Nearly half a dollar per minute from federal facilities - a major innovation that really worthy "superspy" with enough "super" salary. The other parameters Jeans 0.07 practically does not differ from its popular Super predecessor. But let's not rush to sympathize with a girl protagonist of the new infomercial MTS led to his room to connect to the "zero-zero-seventh" tariff. The appearance of this TA is an absolutely logical way, closing the gap in the line of "denim" tariff plans. By the way, free to move to a new TA MTS can be up to 28 February 2004 inclusive.
I've already talked about some accessories for the Playstation 3, I was especially interested in branded supplement. The impression is that in different divisions of Sony are different people are willing to stay up all night and spend a lot of money just to create something really interesting and original. Since my company's products are very interested in searching for such things going on with admirable tenacity. True, earlier it was easier to do. What would I now choose for themselves among the phones and smartphones Sony Ericsson? I do not know, from a purely "sonevskih" pieces interested Aino, at least Satio. Cameras - here's curiosity is A900, I was lucky a couple of days to use this device, an excellent thing. Also interested in Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3, «soapbox" with Wi-Fi and a browser. We have not sold it, you can buy in Japan or the USA, strange as to why this thing was not brought to our latitude. Of course, there's VAIO, here and beloved series of P, and AW, and Z, and an intriguing X - here the developers have come off. But, unfortunately, about the Walkman I have nothing good would not say there is only changing the design, add some of the typical player for other companies' functions, outstanding for something special. Breakthrough with the advent of Sony Walkman X did not work, rather, this unit has shown to be ineffective in the current market conditions. The fans gasped and approved. All the others frowned and forgotten. More can be viewed on TVs and other big equipment, but when it comes to gadgets that are used every day, for me now is the Playstation 3. In my opinion, this "firm in the firm" very properly developed, the recent updating of consoles, coupled with a decrease in prices increased the army "soniboev, attracted new users. Accordingly, if we talk about Russia, the love of technology from Sony here, many in the blood - the brand has appeared here in ancient times and was not available to mere mortals. To some extent a symbol of wealth and prosperity in the eighties and early nineties. But enough of sweet nostalgia, the fact is that now the PS3 are buying not only for gaming but also for other problems, for example, it is the most inexpensive CD player Blu-ray, and a device for browsing, listening to music, watching videos, etc. . Versatility for PS3 - the only way to survive in the market. And at the expense of this device is interesting to me personally.
