![]() ![]() This would not be so much of a problem if the cursor keys can be used, but they do not work like you expect them to. Furthermore, it is tiring to keep your hands in the air and waving about. The main problem here is that, like its predecessor, the motion sensor remote control, which acts like an air mouse, is not the most intuitive to use and takes a lot of getting used to. However, the redesigned remote control, called the VEO Navigator, continues to be clumsy and difficult to use, which makes even the simplest of operations - such as skipping to a point in the video or even finding a video to play - a complete chore. Overall, the user interface is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. The main menu which greets users displays six main options - Media, Games, FAV, File Manager, Browser and Google Play Store - which lets users navigate quickly to the function of their choice. Running Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), the interface is now less cluttered and much more direct to use. The previous Veolo took an excruciating long time to startup - 56 seconds to be exact - but the Veolo 2 improves on that and took just half the time. Users of the original Veolo have complained about the lack of onboard storage, so AC Ryan has doubled storage to 8GB as well. This means a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor that runs at 1.6GHz and 1GB of DDR3 memory. Inside, the Veolo 2 is upgraded with a faster, beefier processor and has double the memory. We understand that the reason for doing so is to, presumably, ensure better Wi-Fi performance, but it is not in keeping with the Veolo 2's overall look. Instead, it sticks out from the back like a sore thumb and spoils the overall aesthetics. ![]() Hence, we find it strange that they have decided not to integrate the Veolo 2’s Wi-Fi antennae into its chassis. AC Ryan has obviously paid some thought to the Veolo 2’s aesthetics. While the original Veolo had an odd hump in the middle, the Veolo 2 has a much more sleek and streamlined in design. It can also be attached to the back of your TV or monitor display. The Veolo 2 is less than half the thickness of its predecessor and also has a smaller footprint, which means it will easily fit into any available space in your TV cabinet or on your desk. Owners of the earlier Veolo will immediately appreciate the Veolo 2’s much more compact dimensions. So, has the Veolo 2 improved on its predecessor? Let’s find out. ![]() Perhaps most crucially, it has a redesigned remote control that will hopefully make navigating the Veolo 2 easier - the original Veolo’s motion control remote control was frustrating to use. As its successor, the Veolo 2 runs on a newer version of the Android OS - Android 4.2.2 to be exact, otherwise known as Jelly Bean - and has a more powerful processor, more memory and a new slimmer, more compact design. The Veolo 2 is the successor to AC Ryan’s first "Smart Android Hub", the Veolo. First Looks: AC Ryan Veolo 2 Smart Android Hub Second Time Lucky? ![]()
