This is probably love at first sight. You will fall for this beauty, which incorporates a still camera, a video camera, a voice recorder, a Web camera, a movie viewer and MP3 support, the moment you lay your eyes on the packaging—with the glitzy model holding up the device in all its shining glory! Your love will grow stronger when you hold it for the first time. But alas, love is blind. No sooner than you’ve held the device and had a first close-up look, will you want to look away! Starting with the design, which is pretty compact for a device that packs in so much, the Orite will flatter to deceive. It has a small screen that has to be flipped open, and is roughly as big (or small) as that of a Nokia 3310! The device should come with 16 MB of on-board memory, but the unit we received had only 4MB on-board and no flash cards, tying it down to the PC for good. To load MP3s onto it, you need to manually go to the device in ‘My Computer’ and create a directory called ‘MP3’. Hereafter, it’s drag-and-drop. Photos taken with the “3.2 mp” camera were grainy despite us using the flash, and even worse with the 8x digital zoom! Video at 640 x 480, though, was all right. The package includes a carry case, a USB charger, cable, driver disk and Ulead PhotoStudio, and is priced at around Rs 9,000. Expensive considering the feature set..
