How Bright Is a Dual LED Flash?

image For those of you who haven’t played around with the HD2 the flash is pretty crazy on it. There are two LED lights on the back next to the lens. There’s a flashlight app on the phone that lets you turn on the LEDs and use them as a flashlight and it toggles from low, medium and high. Even in the daytime, with bright light, if you point the flash on high at someone it’s obnoxiously bright. I’ve used the camera in the dark a number of times and was very impressed by it. So I decided to put it the test for you guys. Nighttime with all lights off and no substantial ambient light (just what makes it through the windows and into a kitchen). A regular camera (DSLR, pocket camera, etc) will not detect any light and the image is just black. So, how does the HD2 fare in this setting? Take a look for yourself.

Verbatim TUFF-‘N’-TINY 4GB USB Drive

Hello All! Mobility Digest is about all things mobile, and that includes their accessories as well like portable storage. There’s one product that has become the dominant form of portable storage and that’s the USB flash drive, they’re getting bigger and bigger in capacity but yet smaller and smaller in size. They’re pretty much the perfect way to take all of your stuff with you in a tiny package that’s very portable.

So today for review I’ve got one of the smallest USB drives you can get, the Tuff-‘n’-Tiny 4gb USB drive from Verbatim. It’s not only tiny, a little over 1 inch in length but it’s also tough in that it’s resistant to dust, water and even static. Physical size and capacity don’t mean much though if it’s not a good performer so I’ve put it up against a few other 4gb flash drives I’ve got on hand for comparison, so read on to learn more about a great little USB drive…
