Treo 600 – Using a rechargeable lithium ion battery, external battery packs are necessary in order to extend battery life, since original is built into device and, therefore, not removable. Upgrades of internal battery are available – for about $50 – replacing 1800 mAh battery with a 2000, although warranty will be voided as a result of such an action. The standard battery offers between five and six hours of talk time, but you can extend normal life by avoiding wireless activities and playing audio or video features.

Treo 650 – While 650 model offers a 32 MB memory, only 23 of it is available to user, and this model is not upgradeable. An SD/MMC expansion slot is available, however, which may allow you to add more memory or content. An advantage of this model, however, is that it will be available in multiple languages, including English, German, Italian, Spanish and French. The Treo 650 CDMA model is only available in English. This fully operational communications center and handheld computer is among top of line in portable communications devices.

Whichever model you prefer, you won’t go wrong with purchase of a Treo. Its compact, lightweight design and comprehensive package is designed to meet needs of virtually every user, without inconvenience of bulk or exorbitant cost.

Although there are many different types of DV camcorders, all of them should share some features in common in order to be of good quality. First of all, it is important that a DV camcorder has easy to use controls; otherwise this could become a constant problem and an obstacle for its user.

DV camcorders usually come with a high quality screen through which their users can view what camcorder would shoot as well as can play back what has already been shot. It is very important that this screen is of good quality as well as easy to be used while shooting a movie and handling camcorder.

Nowadays, most DV camcorders store video on special memory cards, although some of them still use videotape in a special format known as mini DV. Many DV camcorders come with both these video store capabilities, allowing its users to chose most convenient one for them.
