the opened package.


i ordered on the 1st of july (saturday)
the order was shipped on the 3rd of july
i received the bubble wrapped envelope on the 12th of july.

read previous post pls.

i got a question...again... how would it be when i play wide-screen movie in vision m? coz d screen is only 2.5", if with d black top n bottom bar then it will be smaller!! then no fun watching movie in vision m, rite? n dun thnk pan d view by croping d side n lose some of d pictures would help?

In ZVM, there are three modes when playing videos.

1. Original Size = dun really get what this mean, as it does not have any effect. You though use this options as "Original Ratio"

2. Fit to Screen = same as below...

3. Stretch to Full = for widescreen stuff, it simply stretches the video upwards and downwards, making Fox Mulder looking like an elongated alien himself

But for me, since the ZVM screen is hi-res enough, I don't really have issues watching widescreens with the black bar...

supazta:

Thanks for the pic review! But if it would be a bomb if you can share some of your "application" experiences

ure welcome!

ok..here are the steps:

1. cleaned up my zvm..make sure its free of dust and microfibres

2. peel off the shield and then sprayed both sides of the shield using the given spray.

3. slowly alligned it and then i used the 'squeegee' to remove bubbles trapped underneath the shield (pressing the squeegee/credit card from the middle and outwards)

4. waited for 24 hours for the shield to settle itself.

5. after a few days, the microbubbles dissapears. (magic? heheh)

did encounter some probs like..i misalligned the shield and i had to peel it off and re-applied it and there were some microfibres(must have came from my shirt) glued inside it..

overall, im quite satisfied of the end result.



the scroll area is also being protected by the shield and i found it to be quite nice as my fingers a bit sakit when i scrolled on the sandpaper surface..and the back side also protected, so nomore sandpaper surface..all become plasticky..like the front side.

i dont have to worry about it anymore if i accidentally put my zvm together with my keys inside the bag.

can anybody tell me what these files are and where do they come from?
found them in my zvm under MY PICTURES.

so much hassle to view one by one before deleting them one by one.

john, do u know how can i add pics or mp3s to the zvm manually?
like i pick only the folders that i intend to transfer?
seems like whenever i plugged it for synchronisation, it transfers every possible media files in my lappy..
i even found folders for my saved webpages..containing images of toolbars and buttons etc.

easier way to make my life simpler?

supazta:

Assuming your are using WMP 9, for pictures, I recommend that you turn off the auto-sync.

I actually copied the pictures by folder, by using Windows Explorer.

For MP3, this method does not work, because if you noticed, ZVM organizes the music not by folders that we create, but uses the MP3 Tag and sorted by Artist. What this means that irregardless how u organize your music on your computer, it will end up as Artists in ZVM. I guess that is why you need WMP to sync music.

For pictures, it's not a problem, because there is no "Tag" for pictures, therefore you can safely copy the pictures by folder directly into ZVM.

supazta:

Great review! That should ease the thought of many who are considering InvisibleShield... Interesting fact about the MicroBubbles disappearing...

Wow, 100RM for shield !!!!!

in your opinion is it worth it??

Dudes i've got some questions on this gadget..
when you all watch movie on it, is it a little too small?
Can see subtitles if watching foreign movie?
If use it to read ebooks, is it alright or too small?

Not sure whether to get Zen Vision or Zen Vision M........

It ultimately depends whether you can live with a scratched ZVM or not I spend quite a bit on my silicon skin also (pls refer previous posts)... I love my babies to be healthy as much as possible...

1. Is the screen too small? - Really pref based... If you are used to PSP screen, then it might be to small. If you are used to staring at your phone screen whole day, then ZVM is a pleasure to watch...

2. Subtitles - If you are talking about .SUB files, then unfortunately ZVM does not support. If the subtitles are embedded into the movie file itself, then no problem... You'll understand what I mean if you are an Anime fan...

3. Ebooks - erm...no support yet. No PDF/ebook support available yet.

4. Zen Vision or ZVM? Ask supazta.. If you ask me, for the $$$, get ZVM...

its a long term investment.
if i were to sell it off...a 100% scratchless gadget would attract higher offer..wouldnt it?

and to answer ur question...its a YES...i do not prefer silicon case as used by john as i dunt like the rubbery feel..the price is almost the same right john? minus shock protection and belt clip right?
i dont use belts anyways...even if i do..would be those really fancy ones..wouldnt wana ruin it by attaching zvm to it...

yea..its a shame that zvm doesnt support pdf files or else i could read my lecture notes from it...


one question:
which one is more preferable method to take care of the battery...(this is when i use my zvm in my room and plug it into the speakers)

1. use it thru ACDC power and only unplug it when i take out

2. fully charge it and use it until the battery goes flat?

which one is more recommendable?
oh..btw..is it the same thing with laptops too?
