For 2013, Ball watches are updating the Engineer Hydrocarbon Ceramic XV (aBlogtoWatch review here) that was released about two cheap watches years ago with the new Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne. At launch it was called the “Spacemaster Airborne,” but Ball has since removed the Spacemaster part of the name. Much is the same but the differences are android tablet important and likely enough to encourage happy Ceramic XV owners to pick one of these up. Let’s take a close hands-on look at the upcoming Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne.The first thing we noticed about the watch is the major branding change in the name. The Ceramic XV was a sort of a Ainol NOVO7 Legend fancy looking climber’s watch, and now Ball has recast the concept to being something in the Airborne collection designed for paratroopers. So it went from a climbing watch to a falling watch… Of course the relief art on the case back represents this fact with the logo of the USAF Pararescue team. Another unique thing that I am noticing ainol tablet PC for the first time is the name of MB-Microtec H3, that produces the world’s tritium gas tubes. For whatever reason they now have some branding on the watch. Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne Watch Hands On ballOf course all Ball cheap watches have and will continue to use MB Microtec tritium gas tubes for darkness illumination. We love the tubes that are placed in the hands and hour indicators because they illuminate for about 25 years without needing to be charged by light. Compared to the dial of the Ceramic XV, the Airborne’s has been redesigned a bit. Gone is the track around the periphery where the numerals are placed, and added is a window for the day of the week, which Digital Photo Frame makes full use of the modified Swiss ETA 2836-2 automatic movement inside.Speaking of movement modification, the Engineer Hydrocarbon Airbone contains Ball’s new SpringLock system over the balance wheel that dramatically reduces the effect of shock on accuracy. We recently discussed the 2013 SpringLock system as it is also included in the new Ball Annual Calendar watch (hands-on here). The embedded video in this post explains more on the SpringLock system. It is a very clever system which increases the durability and performance of an already great watch. Ball also has each of the movements in the Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne watches COSC Chronometer certified for accuracy.Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Airborne Watch Hands On ballIn our wholesale watches opinion neither the Airborne or Ceramic XV have “nicer” dials, but are rather two equally nice flavors. Having said that, in our experience more people will be drawn to the design of the Airborne because of its more uniform textured dial, hint of red, and increased functionality with the day of the week window (in addition to the date). Both are very legible with those fantastic sword-style hands.Ball also changes the rotating bezel insert for this new model. Both the Ceramic XV and Airborne have black ceramic bezel inserts, but the design is slightly different. 745TDBanty 130723

If you're hoping to beef up your storage space, know that you'll be limited to a 32GB card. The Slate 7 doesn't pack a whole bunch of bells and android tablet whistles -- there's no GPS or Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0. Out of the box, it comes with Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, 802.11b/g/n and an accelerometer. The latter proved to be reasonably responsive, though we did notice the occasional stutter as the display shifted orientation.Using the Slate 7 is an intensely vertical experience. The tablet is built according to a slightly narrower-than-normal form factor, and due to an unusual aspect ratio, everything is just... off enough to be noticeable. The 1,024 x 600 screen isn't great to begin with, especially when compared to the Nexus 7's 1,280 x 800 IPS display (currently $30 more, but a much better buy). At 169 pixels per inch, that resolution LED watch would have worked on a slightly less rectangular form-factor (a 5.86-inch display would have worked with the tablet's 4.44-inch width). Considering that the Slate 7 comes with stock Android 4.1.1, the flatness of the UI makes the stretch especially obvious. Even round icons are more oval than circle.Again, for a budget tablet, we weren't anticipating much from the display, but the Slate failed to live up to even our modest expectations. The colors aren't particularly vibrant to begin with, but any viewing angle other than straight-on caused them to be significantly washed out. The technology HP used for oblique viewing angles -- "Fringe Field Switching" as opposed to IPS -- does little for the LCD display when the device is angled even a little bit away from the viewer.When it Mini Speaker comes to sound quality, HP is putting all its eggs in one Beats Audio-branded basket -- as it's done with many of its products. From the Beats logo on the back of the tablet, to the Beats-specific tab on the settings menu, HP is aggressively pushing the relationship at consumers.The dual speakers located on the bottom of the tablet are adequate in the truest sense of the word, which is to say: they work. Because they're so close together, there's no real stereo sound despite there being two of them. Do they sound like $170 speakers? Not really. Played at reasonably loud volumes, the audio is strained and tinny, as is the case with many a mobile device. With the Beats sport watches Audio feature toggled on, vocals on most songs had a noticeable echo not present when it was turned off.When it comes to headset use, we must admit there's a certain level of cognitive dissonance required to use -- or even worse, acquire -- a pair of headphones more expensive than the device you intend to couple them with. But if you're a Beats fanatic (we know you're out there), then perhaps the Slate 7 will tickle your fancy. For those of you who aren't immediately charmed by the promise of Beats Audio's potential (and so far, we see no reason why you should be), the actual feature is pretty lackluster.Beats Audio can be toggled on or off, but it's basically nothing more than a jazzed-up EQ setting. 745TDBanty 130709
