Sony F800 - Better Music Player Than iPod Touch

Sony has announced the new Sony F800 music player to challenge iPod Touch running on Android 4.0.

If you’re a music fan then iPod Touch really isn’t your ideal choice. We know that iPod Touch has the amazing touch screen which you can navigate with your finger. But now the new Sony F800 music player also adopted the touch screen.

The reason why I prefer Sony F800, a new model from the once legend Walkman series, is its perfect sound effect, with the help of S-Master MX Digital amplifier, Clear Audio technology and X-Loud speaker system.

The Sony F800 will be running on Android 4.0 system, with a 3.5-inch touch screen, but the resolution is unknown yet. It’s available in either an 8GB, 16GB or 32GB flavors and the battery should return 20 hours of music playback and just over 4 hours for video.

Besides, Sony F800 is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus direct access to the Google Play store, which means you can install Office apps to view PowerPoint presentations. A maps app comes pre-installed along with a gallery and email app.

With the ability to view MP4 videos, you can also view PowerPoint on Sony F800 by saving PowerPoint as video format.

No word on pricing and release date for new yet, but it won’t be long to wait.

How to Convert ODP to Video

Question:

In OpenOffice.org Impress I made an odp slideshow of pictures of my kids, including music and transition tricks. I'd like to send it to some family members, including grannies who wouldn't find the on/off button on a computer if I hadn't pointed it out 50 times before. So what I need is a simple file format. One double click on the file and it opens, on both WIN and Ubuntu. I thought I could convert it to .avi or something.

Answer:

If you have used OpenOffice before, you should know that the odp is the default file format for OpenOffice Impress, which is the same as ppt to Microsoft PowerPoint. Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 added the function to save PowerPoint as WMV video directly, but OpenOffice has no such function until now. Even though OpenOffice is the most popular free PowerPoint program, the first choice beside Microsoft PowerPoint, there is no converter to convert odf directly to video.

Fortunately, you can export the OpenOffice odf file as ppt file. Then you can convert the output PowerPoint file to video using common PowerPoint converters.

Things you need:

• 1. Windows PC
• 2. PowerPoint Viewer (free)
• 3. Moyea PPT to Video Converter ($49.95)

Guide:

Step 1: First install PowerPoint Viewer and Moyea PPT to Video Converter on your computer. Run the converter and click Add to import PowerPoint files.

Step 2: Click on the Profileframe and select AVI as the output video format. Click the Output frame and choose a location on your computer to save the output video.

Step 3: Adjust advanced settings for video profiles. Click the Settings button next to Profile, and you can make advanced settings like codec, bit rate, frame rate, aspect ratio, channel and so on.

Step 4: After all the settings are ready, click Start to start converting the presentation to AVI video file. You can preview the output video in real time during conversion. The conversion may take some time depending on your computer performance and the amount of PowerPoint files you imported.
