New arrival: Holux GPSlim 236 bluetooth GPS receiver 27 January 2006, 09:09
Posted by Orhan in : General , 1 comment so farI just received my new GPS receiver from www.gps4evyone.com’s eBay store. Having given my older GPS (Holux 210 usb) to my father, I needed another one and just heard too many good things about the GPSlim 236. I will now be experimenting with it along with MS Streets & Trips 2006. My first impression is; I am really amazed by the size of this thing. It is really small and lightweight, and bluetooth mode requires no driver installation given that you have active bluetooth capability. Here is the picture of GPSlim 236 with two quarters for size comparison:

The GPSlim 236 also impressed me with its reception sensitivity. It picked right up in my living room. The first very short trip in town also went seamlessly. The first impression score: 9.5 out of 10!
Does your 700m lose microphone input after hibernation? Here is a possible fix: 27 January 2006, 08:34
Posted by Orhan in : Geeky Techy Stuff , add a commentMy 700m’s microphone goes dead after almost every hibernation. I decided to do a search and found out that I was not the only one. Apparently the oldest version driver does the trick.. Read the following posts at Dell forums:

Here is the Dell Support older version driver download link for 700m audio:
I installed the oldest available version. So far so good.. Knock on wood! 
Edit: I checked the driver version and “SIGMATEL STAC 9750 AC97, v.6.14.01.3901, A11” is what I installed.
