Multimedia
The camera has a resolution of 3.2 megapixels, it has autofocus and a LED flash. The highest available resolution for photos is 2048 x 1536 pixels, while videos can be recorded at 640 x 480 pixels. The camera’s software takes about three seconds to launch, focusing isn’t really fast either, but we have all the usual settings like white balance, JPEG compression and the others.
Image quality is average for a PDA. The dynamics range is very low, if we’re taking a photo of a sunny and a dark surface at the same time, we’ll have a burnt in and burnt out picture – the bright parts will be white, the dark parts will be black. X960 isn’t a good friend of colors either, the photos have quite a high level of noise, and there is some detail loss as well, thanks to the noise filter.
Acer has thought of music fans as well, they have developed their own music player, which looks good, but it’s not really good. It displays album art in a cover-flow-like view, which looks really cool if we have the covers, but it’s useless if we don’t, as there is no text list. Another lame thing is that it won’t filter by ID3 tags, so if we have more albums in the same folder, it will randomly display one of the covers – this is probably a software bug, as we should be able to filter by album/artist/genre, it just doesn’t work as it should. During playback we have a unique button layout, which is easy to use, and it’s a good thing that we have some equalizer presets to choose from – the list is quite long, we even have heavy metal. Sound quality is medium on handsfree, but I received no headset with the PDA, so I just had a short test at SpeedShop: it wasn’t very convincing, I’d say it’s also medium quality, which means that it’s good for those who don’t have huge expectations of sound quality.
