Teclast T50+ with TV Out - First Impressions Review

I got my hands on the OEM Teclast T50+ with TV out. First impression it's almost identical to the Teclast T50 with two differences.



First the Teclast T50+ features TV out. Something the original T50 did not have. The latest firmware includes support for US NTSC format. I haven't tried this feature out yet so stay tuned...

Second the Teclast T50+(also known as the Teclast T50 Second Edition, S:flo lite, Cyc-V49TV, among other re branding names) has a single point capacitive screen compared to the multi-point capacitive screen found on the T50. Basically the T50+ can only register one finger at a time. While the T50 can register two or more fingers at one time. This is the reason you can pinch and zoom in and out of a picture on the T50. There has been much debate about whether the T50+ has a resistive or capacitive screen. Well from using it myself it definitely has a capacitive screen.


Reason why I come to this conclusion with the help of David at Planet-Metropolis is that the screen only registers a finger. I've tried several various things like stylus, pens, other objects and none of the register on the touchscreen. It also has a hard plastic screen unlike resistive screens which have the spongy soft touchscreen similar to the ones found on PDA's. It also doesn't have a raised bezel like the Onda VX858 or VX747 have. Resistive screen work best with a fingernail or stylus. While the capacitive screen works best with the soft skin of the fingertip. And finally the clarity of the screen of the T50+ is very close if not the same to the T50. While resistive screens only have 75% clarity.

De Vere’s unveil's Angels Tears Diamond Encrusted iPhone 3G

Diamond jewellers, De Vere’s of London have unveiled their beautiful diamond encrusted iPhone 3G, the ‘Angels Tears’. This stunning Art Deco inspired Apple iPhone has been created by De Vere’s founder Philip De Vere in memory of his mother who died of ovarian cancer. A number of examples are being sold to raise money for the research and treatment of women’s cancers. They are available for a limited time at £2499 (USD$3981.73).

I wanted to create a damned sexy and desirable iPhone, capable of giving anyone’s thumbs an orgasm”. Philip De Vere said.

The unlocked (by Apple) 16GB black backed 3G iPhones have 400 small brilliant cut diamonds set into the steel bezel surrounding the front screen. The majority of these diamonds are F colour, VS clarity whites, apart from one corner, which has pink diamonds that gradually fade to whites as they extend along the edges of the iPhone.

At a later date, if the owner wishes, the diamonds can be removed from the iPhone and set into custom made jewellery. A plain bezel can then be refitted to the original iPhone. De Vere’s of London can inset any number of diamonds, from 25 to 425 to create either a diamond accented (detailed) or diamond encrusted iPhone 3G. The Angels Tears diamond iPhone is available from De Vere’s for £2499 (USD$3981.73) for a limited time.

Prices for other ‘De Vere Diamond iPhones’ start from £281.75 (USD$448.92) for the 25 diamond ’25 Wishes’ bezel, fitted to an existing iPhone.
