Not much really – other than they are all in the same photo!
Despite the quite random title, in simple terms I am doing an O2 Joggler usage review – I’ve had the device just a few days, and am seeing how it is fitting in to my digital life, as it were.
The O2 Joggler, for those of you that don’t know, is O2’s stab at getting something together for the family, and shockingly enough, forms part of their O2 Family offering. It’s digital picture frame, calendar, music and video player, news renderer – oh, and clock!
Actually, the clock is one of the best parts, bizarrely enough – crystal clear, and a good size. But Mobile-wise, I am sure you’d be more interested in the convergence or tech-features it has on board.
The hardware is built on what is basically a netbook with a touchscreen – the device is much deeper than your average digital picture frame, and is toting a USB port on the side (that is basically how most of your media is going to get on there). It connects to ‘the’ network via WiFi, so you aren’t going to run up a massive cellular data bill. The touchscreen is a nice capacitance affair, and is responsive and well-presented, when considered with the UI.
The News feeds (general news and sports) are both driven from Sky, so there’s decent quality there – and a fairly decent selection too – updated on regular basis.
Overall, and so far, I’m liking the device – but I’ve had it just a couple of days – so wait for the more in-depth review once I’ve found out what the ‘killer app’ and foibles are for this cheeky little ‘family-centric’ device….
In the meanwhile you can go here to buy a Joggler for £149. Bargain.
