Foxit Reader vs. PDF-XChange Viewer

Image
Last edited 2 Oct 2011.  Tried: Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, PDF-XChange Viewer, SumatraPDF Portable. As mentioned in my previous post , I discovered some problems with Foxit Reader and PDF-XChange Viewer. More precisely, Foxit Reader had been criticized heavily because it forces installation of a browser toolbar . However, this was changed in the latest version. On the other hand, the rendering in PDF-XChange is not as good as I previously thought. In summary, you can look at the table below.

Xiaomi MI 2 review

Left: Phone image from Xiaomi website. Right: Box contents. Finally, I got my hand on the highly sought-after Xiaomi MI 2 phone. Besides reading my personal experience with this phone, I would suggest you to also read the article from Engadget and, if you understand Chinese, the in-depth review from Zealer . The package comes with the phone itself, a battery, a back cover (white), USB data cable, and USB power adapter (standard China 2-pin). A few notable missing specifications are no 4G, no NFC, and no card slot (and the total available storage for user is only about 10 GB out of 16GB). I have nothing to complain considering the price of about RM 1000 / SGD 400. MI 2 has very similar pricing and  specifications ( official page ) to another highly demanded phone, the Google Nexus 4 (quad-core, 2GB RAM, same chipsets, etc.) This phone is currently available only in China but there are plans to extend the market to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore .

Boogie Board Rip

SOURCE Engadget With Galaxy Note just announced, we welcome another writing gadget, the Boogie Board Rip . Boogie Boards by Improv Electronics have been around for a while, what makes this version special is the ability to save your scribbles. The images are saved as PDF files, which could either stored in the internal memory or transfer to PC via a micro USB port. This writing board is expected to come this November and with a price tag of a little over $100. I would say this is a great start for a digital notepad.
