O2 recently unveiled its latest product called Joggler which is a home organizer that features screen display that supports multimedia functions that will serve as a “kitchen” calendar for managing all the house works and tasks, making it easier for people to have more control over their lives.
One of the main highlights of this device is the 7-inch screen display equipped with Touch Sensitive Technology for easy navigation, so easy and convenient that even children and older people can use this. Meanwhile, the screen has also been designed to support photo displaying capability (much like the traditional digital photo frame) and can play video recordings in various formats such as Divx, H.264, MPEG-4, and FLV.
Another notable media function is the music player which can support multiple audio formats including WMA, WAV, and MP3. This feature can be applied while playing the photo slideshow for a more dramatic effect in displaying the images. Meanwhile, the music player also includes pre-set Internet radio stations.
One major disadvantage of Joggler is the lack of web browsing capability. When asked for comments, the O2 said that it deliberately excluded this feature for safety reasons, adding that this communal device will be used by all members of the family including children who may access adult sites.
This electronic home organizer also has calendar application which can be accessed online. With this feature, users can simply write appointments for each date so they will not forget their everyday engagements.
Joggler can also serve as a source of weather forecasts and up-to-date news via Skype service. Fortunately, this comes for free. Meanwhile, users can also receive traffic updates with this device.
This device can be connected through Ethernet cable of Wi-FI connectivity to work. It also has USB port to support flash drive and 1GB internal memory.
According to O2, SMS capability will be included immediately before the official launching of Joggler in April. Meanwhile, the company did not say when it will be available in US market and its exact pricing detail.
