Sony PRS-500 Portable Reader System

Sony PRS-500 Portable Reader System with 6" screen with a sharp 800x600 pixel resolution. Like some other electronic paper products, the Reader uses "E Ink" technology, which serves to make the letters and words on the screen look more print-like in their appearance.




With the Size button, you can choose among three font settings, but even at the smallest setting, you're still getting fewer lines per page than you would with a printed book.

LOC8TOR

The Loc8tor system is an example of active RFID, radio frequency identification. RFID is a technology that employs tags (e.g. wireless radio transponders), attached to an object. The tag sends information stored on the tag in response to a radio signal from a reader. The reader receives identification or other information on the signal from the tag. The transponders used in active systems have batteries that power transmitters in the tags. Active RFID systems generally use either the signal strength or the delay time of the signal returned by the tag at three or more reception points in order to locate a tag. Such systems cost many thousands of dollars.



The Loc8tor system uses a single receiver, the handheld Loc8tor Homing Device, to locate a tag. Since the Homing Device is very directional, a user can identify the direction of the signal from the tag and get an idea of the tag's distance from the strength of the returned signal. This is a very sophisticated but low-cost system.

Camera Gadget Bag

Canon 200DG Digital Camera Gadget Bag

The Canon 200DG camera bag is perfect for my needs. You had this at the best price I have seen and it was shipped very promptly. Good timing, I have the Eos 40D camera and two telephoto lenses.



This bag has room to grow - I could easily add a couple more lenses and still have plenty of room. I would recomend this item to anyone wanting a durable case for their SLR (digital or otherwise) and attachments (spare battery, charger, etc.) when taking to the road or for convenient all in one storage.
