IT168 exclusive article In April 2004, the PDA market seemed to have started another round of fierce competition. Following the ViewSonic V35, the ViewSonic V36 appeared before our eyes last year. Compared with the V35, the ViewSonic V36 is not only an upgrade in the system, but also has enhanced functions. V36 uses a 300 MHz XScale processor, runs on the Windows Mobile 2003 platform, has 64MB of SDRAM and 32MB of ROM, and has a 3.5-inch screen. In particular, it has a built-in camera that can shoot in 640×480 format and supports SD cards.
Open the package of Pocket PC V36, which contains a complete set of equipment: ViewSonic Pocket PC V36, stylus, lithium-ion battery, AC power adapter, USB synchronization cable, SD sample card, carrying case, ViewSonic Pocket PC V36 comes with CD and user manual.

The casing of the ViewSonic V36 is still made of plastic, but according to The data shows that a UV coating process is used on the front. The overall appearance seems to be strong and tough, but the weight is only 137 grams and the thickness is only 13.8 mm, which can be said to be ultra-light and ultra-thin. It is a relatively thin and light PDA with a digital camera, making it more convenient for white-collar workers who work in the office but often go out. ViewSonic V36 has a touch screen, navigation pad and selection buttons, program buttons, microphone, speakers, battery charging indicator light and reminder indicator light.

3.5 inch reflection , Color-screen touch screen with good color reproduction. Whether in bright or dim environment, the content displayed on the screen can be guaranteed to be clear and readable. And you can select menu commands or enter text more conveniently. Touch the Pocket PC logo and ViewSonic's 3-bird image trademark registration logo on the upper left and right sides of the screen, which are very eye-catching. This design further highlights the brand benefits of V36. The three-bird diagram is ViewSonic's image logo. But obviously, this is affixed, so it will fall off more easily. I hope this can be improved in future products. But users don’t have to worry too much, because there are grooves at the bottom that play a certain role in fixing it.
The battery charging indicator light and prompt indicator light on the top have relatively strong prompt functions. The battery charging indicator light will glow amber when charging and will turn green as a reminder when the battery is full. The reminder indicator light will promptly notify scheduled appointments, alarm clocks, or serve as a reminder during reminder and recording status. Such a setting, both in terms of location and color, enhances the practicality of V36.

The V36 keyboard area is designed to be relatively large, which makes it more convenient for users to operate the V36 keyboard. . Each key in the keyboard area is made of plastic-coated paint. Of course, the choice of this material does not affect the feel and effect of V36. In practical applications, the controllability and feel are good.
The design of the microphone and speaker at the bottom of the fuselage is relatively beautiful in appearance. The speaker is designed in an octagonal snowflake shape, which can better diffuse the sound in all directions.

The back of V36 The design of the original color plastic is maintained, which can better ensure its wear resistance. The back is mainly the camera lens, battery box and reset switch.
The most conspicuous part of the back of ViewSonic is its lens. ViewSonic V36 adds a 300,000-pixel (supporting 640×480 resolution) CMOS lens (integrated digital camera head). However, I don’t know why the V36 does not have a flash under the camera lens but only leaves its position and does not install a protective cover.

The lithium-ion battery box and the battery lock/unlock switch of the V36 test on the right cooperate with each other, making the battery box easier to open and more effectively protecting the battery. . It plays the role of double insurance. This is still worth promoting. But during use, you still have to be careful not to touch it easily. This prevents the battery from falling out and causing damage. The card slot is still designed with a spring, and it can pop out by pressing down. There is a battery switch inside the battery box, which can lock or open the battery.

V36 battery It adopts a separate design and is provided with a lithium-ion 900mAh battery. The "measurements" of the battery are (127.0×76.8×13.8) mm and the net weight is 137g. Of course, the power consumption of PDA is still relatively large. According to ViewSonic official Published data shows that the average usage time of V36 can reach 10 hours. In fact, in actual use, the usage time of V36 will be affected by the actual application process, but basically there is no problem if it reaches 6-8 hours. You can rest assured. V36 provides a small reset switch that can easily restart the PDA.
The overall color of the back of the V36 is black, and the words Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC are displayed in white fonts, clearly showing the operating system used by the ViewSonic V36.

The power button and recording button on the left side of V36 can be controlled by the thumb of the left hand. Of course, you can also set the recording button to a custom function. key. In order to avoid accidentally touching these two buttons, they are designed in the recessed part of the left side. The headphone jack of the V36 is designed at the lower left side of the V36, which is the same as the V35. However, this design is still inconvenient for some people who use their left hand to control the machine. The headphone jack is still a standard 3.5 mm and can be directly connected to a stereo machine, which is a very considerate design.

The one on the right The design is relatively simple and looks particularly clean in terms of visual effects. There is only a battery lock/unlock switch on the middle and lower part, which has been described in detail on the back of V36.

The stylus is an essential part for normal use of PDA. The V36 stylus can be extended, with a 2-section metal pen barrel and a reset pin at the end. Can be easily rotated out. It will be more comfortable to use. The stylus slot is set on the right side of the top, where the stylus is placed when not in use. The infrared port on the top can facilitate other mobile devices that use IR transmission to receive and send files or be used for infrared exchange with mobile phones or connection to the Internet. The compatible SD slot of ViewSonic V36 is also arranged on the top of the fuselage. I will introduce the memory card expansion function of V36 in more detail in the function chapter.

The settings at the bottom of the V36 are more practical. The base connector and power connector are both located at the bottom of the fuselage. . Connect V36 to a USB sync cable to connect to a PC for data exchange and synchronization. Through the power connector, users can connect the V36 to the AC adapter for charging when the USB base is not in use.
