Airis T930
The Airis arrived a bit later than the others, but it also remained a bit more, so I can’t say I didn’t have time to deal with it. The PNA with an attractive price was a positive experience. First I was afraid of the cover reminding me of COMECON plastics, but seeing it day by the day I realized that the situation is not at all that bad. Of course it’s not even close to the competitors covered with soft plastic, the comforting feeling can be, that those are not even close to the Airis in price. The guys at Airis succeeded in doing this by avoiding a bazaar-like design, which is promising. Regarding its shape we can acknowledge it with a yawn. Probably the designer team had only a ruler at their disposal, as the shape of this gadget is one we could describe with words: carved with an axe. In spite of this the shape is not bad and size isn’t huge either.
The overall impression is much improved by the passive holder, which (however not being of the stiff kind) has the flexible goose-neck design, but it’s short, so it won’t shake and the insertion of the device is probably the world’s most simple and best solution: it has to be slid in its holder from upwards, just like a bank card to an ATM, and that’s it. No snaps or small buttons and in turn the effect of treeing is omitted. Nice. The Airis won’t win the title for the navi with the most buttons, as it has only one, the power button. Anything else can be accessed trough the 3.5" size touchscreen which has a really good readability.
The Airis received – as a great surprise – a Samsung processor, from the 400 Mhz type and runs the Windows CE 5.0 operating system with iGO. The SirfStar III antenna was very quick and the signal was stable. There can be no charges against the speed of the device, I didn’t experience any slowdowns. Considering extra functions, the Airis has the usual picture viewing and music playbavk features. I congratulate, it is a decent job. Pros: price, passive holder, stable functioning. Cons: cover made of lower quality material.
