Helio Ocean: Not a Cat Remote
The Helio Ocean arrived today. My first impressions:
- nice and small
- the slide is kind of cool
- nice 2mp camera
- downloadable video, meh. but the episode of Ask a Ninja was totally watchable.
- wow fast speeds
- GPS is pretty good
- Google Maps looks gorgeous and is fast
- buttons are very non-intuitive
- space bar is tiny
- keyboard not too bad, but not too great
- definitely some buggy software

So far my thoughts are “I wish they could combine the Sidekick OS with the Helio hardware”. I’ll have a more in depth review coming eventually, with a side by side comparison to the Sidekick 3. Some quick pictures are up over on Flickr.
