Your Ears Instead Will Be Welcomed By Your Favourite Ringtone, An MP3 File Of Your Preference, Or For The Connected Model, How About An Internet Radio Station With Your Favourite Shock Jock Digitally Playing Tunes In Your Bedroom?
The standard alarm clock has definitely come a long way from being your average waking up tool these days, the irritating din of metal clanging against one another is a thing of the past. Your ears instead will be welcomed by your fave ringtone, an MP3 file of your preference, or for the connected model, what about an Internet list of radio stations with your favorite shock jock digitally playing tunes in your bedroom?
That's what the Altaz Internet Clock Radio offers, and I managed to spend a while with it. One thing I will say though if you're ever going to get to work on time, it's best not to switch alarm clocks overnite like me, probabilities are, you will not even wake up to be on time for work, as your ears have yet to be conditioned to the new sounds. Read on about the Altaz Internet Clock Radio hands-on after the jump.
But I digress. Just how did I this new gizmo in the bedroom? Well, it is hard to commend it as a "must buy", while it would make for a fascinating knick-knack to own. I'd imagine if you know of any modern day luddites, getting this might be a way to warm up their toes to the consumer electronics revolution.
Seriously, your smartphone should be well placed to do what Altaz's offering does with the right app, and masses more, but if you are the type who would rather leave particular functions for dedicated devices, then it may be worth your while.
With a 3.5" touchscreen display at 320 x 240 resolution, it is not about to win any awards for being the best looking screen around, while it does its job rather well. Other hardware specs include MP3 playback capacity, an SD memory card slot, 128MB of built in memory, a mini USB input, a 1-watt speaker, a JPEG viewer and Wi-Fi connectivity to get you connected.
Audio quality is decent although it isn't suggested to sleep with this alarm clock too far from your bed, otherwise a pillow covering your head may drown the sound out during those drowsy mornings, resulting in you missing a very important appointment or perhaps worse, getting the sack for being late for the umpteenth time.
You'll be able to use the touchscreen display to manipulate all the settings within, and occasionally the clock seems to hang but if you wait long enough (more than 5 minutes for me), the software did not freeze, it just took a, really long time to sort things out, particularly when you are looking for particular radio stations.
Setting up a list of radio station presets is painless, and you can also choose to do it when the Altaz Web Clock Radio is hooked up to a P. C. through USB if you find the touchscreen a tiny bit tough to use.
In fact inputting characters thru the touchscreen display was an extremely annoying experience for me no thanks to the virtual keyboard that seemed to be less than provoking. You'd be better off hooking it up to a PC and getting the job finished thru a genuine keyboard as an alternative.
Setting up the Wi-Fi connection can also be quite the frustrating experience entering your WPA key wrongly would need you to delete the entire string rather than the offending personality, which should not occur in this present time.
Apart from that, there is not any option for you to view your password in simple text as you are entering it so as to prevent mistakes, so practice is essential here. Hopefully a future firmware update will fix these issues. On the brighter side, firmware updates give the clock a longer shelf life in your home, do you not think so?
Aside from the touchscreen display, there is the play / pause button, volume control and power button at the side which are just about self-explanatory. A big sleep button at the top does its job well,
The alarm clock has 2 default audio files to get you out of bed a crowing rooster, and that of chirping birds. Of course, you can always upload your own MP3 files to replace those, and for folks who wish to awaken to a morning Web radio station talk show, you are able to do that also.
I actually let the Altaz Web Clock Radio run for almost four hours straight, being hooked up to my fave Web radio station, and playing it back at 50% volume loudness. This is a fair return, but I would like to recommend you just leave it plugged into a power outlet.
The requested price of $99.99 makes it tough for me to commend it to anyone, but if your wish to dip your toes into the sector of Internet alarm clocks and digital photograph frames, there might be better ways to begin. A little bit too late to the game, I've got to say. Hopefully a future version (if ever) from Altaz will be well placed to address all of its issues and make good then, writes tagza.com.
