hey guys it's brandon minuman from pocketnow.com and see the unboxing video for the celia red fly see a 10 now the Seelie already fly has been around for a long time and we're going to take a different approach to this video series the Red fly is essentially a companion for your windows mobile device so you're plugging your device to the red fly or you use bluetooth and you get a very large screen you get a full keyboard and a mouse trackpad whether you're running on a Windows when will not in touch screen device or touch screen device and when the red flow has first came out a lot of people were kind of excited but a little bit sketchy because the price was about four hundred dollars which seemed kind of crazy having to buy this terminal in addition to buying a a mobile device and the idea was that you would buy the red fly instead of a laptop but then netbooks came around and see Leo lowered the price of the red fly they are now between 200 and 300 dollars but now you can get a netbook for between 200 and 400 dollars and so the question is has become why would you buy a red fly we can just get a netbook run the full version of Windows you know XP or Windows 7 or or Linux and have an even better experience so in this three part video series we're going to do first unboxing then we're going to talk about the red fly experience using a few different devices and finally we're gonna have a bit of a conversation about the utility of getting a red fly versus getting a netbook and whether there is even a benefit to getting red fly and not getting a netbook so that's the approach we're going to take let's get through the unboxing alright and there are two models as I mentioned there's the CA n and then the c7 the CA n is the higher end version which has a larger screen a larger battery and we're going to talk about why it has a battery so basically with the red Phi you get this full keyboard you get a screen and you can actually upscale the resolution of your phone to 1024 x I believe 768 or some variation of that which if you think about it is kind of kind of cool right so you have a windows mobile device like an HTC snap and you can suddenly expand the resolution to this q vga device to something that's much much greater so let's take a look at the back and see what we've got here now this shows you kind of how both versions compare we have a see a 10 on the right here and the c7 on the left the CA 10 has an 8 inch screen the 7 has a 7 obviously there is a 4500 milliamp hour battery in the CA 10 and there's a 2000 milliamp hour battery in the c7 now what that allows you to do is actually charge your device while it's hooked up to the red flies so the battery is being used to power the red fly and it's being used to recharge your device which is actually pretty cool and here are the resolutions that we can export to on the seven we can go to 800 x 480 which is pretty standard a lot of windows mobile phones does that we're 800 x 600 then on the premium model you can get all the way up to 1024 x 768 which is kind of wild as you'll see we're going to go through that and then we have video import on the CA 10 and the color is black obviously so let's take a look at the at the red fly so put the device to the side for a sec and we have some accessories here this looks like a media cable which will allow you to connect the red fly to an external video source such as projector or monitor or TV or something like that which is kind of cool and wondering if it it scales out in the full resolution the 1024 x 768 or only to the maximum resolution of the device will have to check for that let's see what we get over here on the side probably going to be a power adapter yep just to charge the battery and that looks like that's it's in the box some other documentation and a quick start guide which shows you how to use the thing all right alright so let's look at the red fly the red fly is not surprisingly about the size of a netbook it's got a rubbery coating on the outside and let's take a look inside it looks just like an that except the keyboards actually a little bit smaller so let's compare this to the HP mini netbook which it actually goes for about three hundred dollars now pretty much the same price as the the red fly running out of room here on the table so basically we have a 10 inch screen here and an 8 inch screen here in terms of size the the red fly is actually smaller than the nuttin the netbook in terms of surface area but if we look at depth the other about the same in terms of heaviness the actually feel very similar we have to check back with exactly which device is a lighter but the keyboard is definitely smaller this is ooh Matt a little bit but the keyboard is definitely smaller and the trackpad is about the same size in terms of surface area a little bit wider here a little bit taller here with buttons on the left and the right and that sort of thing so next coming up we are going to actually talk about using the red fly with a mobile device and as I said in the last video we're going to talk about the utility of getting a red fly versus paying about the same price for the netbook we're also going to talk a little bit about what the company is doing to bring down the price of the of the red flash so you don't have to make this decision decision should I get a red fly or should I get a netbook we'll be back soon with more on the Celia red fly that's it for now
