Advance One or 880? Does both offer the same/similar features?

I own the 880 and from what I can tell so far, the only difference is the touch screen. However, I am not sold on the touch screen yet. It appears that the LCD display on the 880 is just as big, but it has buttons along the side of the screen that allows you to select the option on the screen instead of actually pressing the screen. The advantage to that is that you can have more options on one screen. There are 8 buttons (4 on each side) for the 880. When I look at pictures of the Advance One, it looks like you are limited to 4 options on a single screen due to the fact that you need room to actually press the option on the screen with your finger. Some may like that, but it could be a slight disadvantage. The 880 does not have RF capability, but the 890 does. In case you don't know, the 890 is the same as the 880 except for the added RF capability to communicate with devices that are not in your line of sight. I would be interested to know if the Advance Once does have RF. If it does, then that is also an advantage over the 880. Other than that, the 880 is very easy to use and comes with the same software. It is also very ergonomic and easy to hold.

You can manually increase by .1 or push the button for a whole 1 point increment. Same with the speed...

The 880 has awful sync (unusable) and poor SSB. The AM seems to be improved from the 660 as is the user interface. The 880 has far better sound. For AM and FM it's the 880. For SW it's the 660. If I could only have 1??? The 660 for sure. 880 not ready for prime time at all on SW.

The 800 series are much thinner than the 600s. On the 860 you can manually engage/disengage 24p processing while on the 850 it's automatic. Seems pointless if you ask me.

I don't know what the advanced setting is. I do know the unit does not work. Don't waste your money.

Three big disadvantage the 880 has compared to the 676; needs a cradle to recharge proprietary lithium battery(which doesn't always make good contact leaving you with a dead remote, buttons are too close together and not raised, and BIG price difference.

You may also want to check on www.Berger-bros.com. I spoke to their Rep. and 880IS is expected to be available by end of this week. They are quoting 880IS for $299.

This is not the 901. It is a 900 that was not announced anywhere. Amazon's description of it having an atom is probably incorrect. If you can, wait for others to buy it and see what they say it has.

I am looking at the V500 compared to the 4490. Any suggestions? The reviews all rave about the V500 for slides and negatives, which I too plan to scan, but I also have many old photos.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.

Not certain - I only have one, and I was so disappointed in teh performance and the associated app that it went into mothballs. The first answer from Patrick Morton is probably more authoritative.

The machine I received shipped with 8 and you then run the upgrade to 8.1 locally. Its a significant improvement. I can't say if the later released machines will ship with 8 or 8.1, but if you have a decent broadband connection you're fine.

I have actually found that the 905 does not work (very choppy) in my basement and the 860 no problem using and 8866 so if range is a concern then I would pay up for the more expensive 860.

The biggest difference I have noticed between the A1 and the A2 is that the A1 included 5.1 Analog Audio outputs and the A2 doesn't. If you have 5.1 analog audio inputs on your receiver this is a big deal, if you don't have 5.1 analog audio inputs on your receiver it isn't.

Just like USB incarnations, or pci-e versions, they all work but any advanced technology device will still only run at the level of the interface it is connected to. So not the best, but it is nice that you can still use a better piece of equipment even at a slower speed. I am using it also at a slower speed too. But have plans to build another new one soon.

I have the 800, but my guess is that any of the 800 series will work... worth the try...

The One is a newer better design in my opinion, but other than design differences the only true functional difference is that the 890 has RF.
