Here’s an interesting test I’ve never seen done and had to have explained before I got it.

The video is called “HTC HD2 Vs Acer neoTouch – Coreplayer BENCHMARK” and reading the comments, it appears that “Both the devices are extremely fast in rendering videos. Acer is a little bit faster.”

So now you know…

OK guys, trust me.

This is the phone you’ve been waiting for. For those of you disappointed with the neoTouch, Acer is about to launch the perfect solution.

We went through dozens of names before senior management gave us the OK for Liquid which we all really like. If any of you are curious as to why it’s called Liquid well the idea is that the Android Donut operating system is so smooth to use, it’s like running your finger across a liquid surface…

Anyway, I’ll be writing much more for you guys about this product once I’ve got the marketing material approved for Acer.

Here’s what StuffTV thinks:

OK I’m going to start the ball rolling here.

As many of you know, tomorrow 22nd October, Windows 7 goes on sale in its final public release version.

In one of the most recent product presentations (AIO), I remember the product manager saying that one of the biggest complaints about Vista was that it was so damned power hungry.

And that is supposed to be one of the biggest improvements of Windows 7 – the fact that it needs a fraction of the resources to run. I’m looking forward to seeing whether that’s true or not in the real world.

Acer, along with all the other PC vendors, has a Windows® 7 Upgrade Offer for customers who purchased a qualifying Windows Vista®-based PC from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.

But extolling the virtues of this latest edition is not what I want to do here – what I want to hear is your opinions and stories.

I’m sure Morris and the other Experts will have something fascinating to write and things will eventually turn up in the forum but I wanted to give it a little more exposure, as it’s something that’s going to affect us all.

Let us know how you get on with the upgrade, whether you can see an improvement and, most important of all, whether you would recommend others take the plunge.

Hello everyone, it’s been a while since I reviewed or wrote an article for you guys, but I’ve been asked to introduce the future of easy LAN connection – Bravura Easy Computer Sync™.

This product allows you to transfer files directly from one PC to another using USB specification, in other words, you can now easily and quickly sync the files of 2 PCs.

The kit contains a specially designed USB cable that allows direct connection between 2 PCs made by Bravura, simple to use, fast and best of all, it is so easy!

When this cable was connected, my Windows 7 directly installed the driver without a glitch, as on the cable, it states: “for Vista” tells us that it will work for the “beloved” Vista (not!).

With the lightweight software (installation just 8.62MB) quickly installed, it guided me straight to the synchronization settings page in almost in a heartbeat.

The software instantly listed the common locations that most users use on their computer, but there is still an “Add Folder” option for advanced users to transfer files not just from that location!

This is a very simple tool for many netbook users, I do have some features I’d like to see such as a background service which will transfer the files automatically without the prompts and have a feature that lets the CD-ROM (DVD…etc) appear to the subcomputer as a typical USB CD-ROM so that you could use it to install operating systems without the hassle of getting a pricey CD-ROM enclosure or figuring out how to install them from a bigger flash drive. I’d also like to see the possibility of detecting the device as a simply USB Removable disk so I can drag and drop the files from Windows Explorer.

All in all a pretty good product. Recommended!

My rating for the product: 7/10

Pros:
• Fast USB transfer speed (appears to be Full USB 2.0)
• Easy to use
• Light HDD space requirement
Cons:
• No Windows Explorer drag and drop
• No support for emulating the CD-ROM as a typical USB CD-ROM

Manufacturer: Bravura Software.

Here’s another quick post to announce a fundamental shift in the way I’m going to handle reviews on this site.

As many of you already know, I openly welcome users who write their own reviews of their Acer products and have published nearly ten so far. Name one other PC manufacturer with the balls to do that…

Now I’ve managed to convince the girls in Acer PR (thanks Cristina!) to recognize The Acer Guy as a key information website which means we can now do battle with the likes of CNET and ShinyShiny. Expect to see notebooks, netbooks, AIO PCs and smartphones on these pages real soon…

But who does the reviews? Not me, you’ll be happy to hear. No, again, I’m going to stick my neck out and have contributors to the site do the reviews. This then is the community feeding itself and a dream come true for me.

Now all I have to do is get the menu adjusted so that the products are easy to find…

So ladies and gentlemen, would you give a warm round of applause and your long lasting support to the next generation of community journalists:

Before I sign off, I’d like to add that I also invited Ferry Meidianto to take part in this project but as he lives in Indonesia, I couldn’t get the products delivered to him. I’m really sorry about this Ferry.

And one more thing: I have spaces for another two reviewers and I actually know who they are. But as I haven’t seen them on the blog for a while I’m hoping they reply to this post before I invite them. FWIW, both are from The Netherlands

OK, just a quick update on the Reviews section.

I’m really happy to announce that we’ve been given the green light to have AcerGuy readers review new Acer products.

This is fantastic news as a) it leverages the real voices and opinions of the community we’ve built up over the past three years, b) it shows we count and c) means you won’t have endure my ugly face on the sneak peak videos any more!

Over the next few days I’ll start contacting those people who’ve been the most active on the blog so far and we’ll get this new chapter off the ground.

Watch this space….

Just found this very nice review of the Aspire Timeline 4810T by Geekanoids. It should answer a lot of your questions.

This is great, but I’m still wondering when one of The Acer Guy readers will send me their own review though…

Enjoy!

Here’s a great overview of the Acer Timeline 5810T from Stuff.tv.

OK, this is much more relevant than the unwrapping video. Pocketnow.com gives a thorough view of the software of the Acer Tempo M900 smartphone.

Enjoy!
