Delivery of Odys Next:
Pleasant surprise. Very stable packaging, the lid is held by even two magnets.
The device itself: It makes a very high-quality impression, as creaks nothing, comfortable material and is very comfortable to hold. The here before mentioned 'sharp' edges at the top, however, fulfill its purpose: it is much stronger in the hand and does not slip. Since the 'round' edges of the Pearls were much more unpleasant and was not so firmly in hand. The next was even almost fully charged. Start No 30 seconds and was pleasantly surprised: A really sharp picture and the format 4: 3 is ideal in such small devices. The resolution of 800 x 600 is longer sufficient out. There's nothing pixelated or blurry (only for a short time, if, for. Instance is set up a new page) One should also be aware that the higher the resolution is, therefore, has a higher current consumption. In your browser, the internet connection is very fast, only marginally slower than the notebook or desktop PC. My netbook consumption since almost länger.Die wireless connection worked immediately after installation of the rock player I could without any problems on the hard disk connected to the Fritz box Zugriefen. It's almost uncanny how quick to the file list of the 2 TB hard drive is read. My Notebook consumption for almost 2 minutes. The Next no 15 seconds. Even HD videos are thereby rendered completely liquid. Because of course the 1.2 Gh processor and 1 GB of memory is noticeable. The Wi - Fi connection even folding without repeaters even in the garden perfectly.
So Cute 'toy'. Have also still the same Zattoo installed me, so I could sometimes follow the football matches continues from the TV off and still continues throughout the house. The battery life is increased after a few days to about 5 hours what more could you want. And: Some complain about here is that the device does not charge via USB: Thank God: The charger has 2.5 amps, a USB connection only 0.5 AH, ie the unit is charged almost 4 times as fast again and the counts.
The installation of my surf sticks was hassle. Anyone who wants to can even connect it to the USB hub and a mouse, keyboard and hard drive simultaneously connect.
Accessories:
What is a pity that not even a protective pouch, especially in this format. The neoprene bag from Amazon for 7,90 fits very well.
A USB adapter you need not, this is located next to the USB cable in.
Conclusion:
Despite extensive research, I had not seen a device, giving the Odys Next, not only in this price range, the water can reach. It's amazing well made and in conjunction with the Android 4.0 makes it a joy to use this pad. I never thought that there would sometimes be a device, which you can use as multifunctional. For example, no matter where you are in the house, to watch a video, or retrieves his mail looks via Zattoo telly. The selection of the app's is huge and partially really optimal eg ON AIR, online TV guide. More Pad custom 'you' is not.
But also some criticisms: No Cover. Also it is not clear why manufacturers always obstruct such small memory (many only having 4 GB) 8 GB range so precisely, can still a 32GB micro SD push, but a few GB of memory would at today's storage prices in the production cost maybe 2 '3 euros more, if at all. (Ie min. 32 G) The camera could be better, although for Skype easily enough but here was how at the store, saving at the wrong end. Better loud speaker; Sure you can from such a small device do not expect a miracle of sound, but other manufacturers are showing in smartphones, that things can be better. Logically, everything costs more and there again, the question arises: How much pad need man?
