Handheld Computing and Pocket PC Magazine, by Tim Hillenbrand
I tested the Magifico Plus on a variety of devices including Pocket PCs, Pocket PC Phones of various dimensions, Smartphones, and GPS units. I found that the magnifier did enhance the viewing experience while enlarging the screen image about 2.5 times. I question, if that would be enough for a seriously vision impaired person, but it certainly does help. I even tried it out with a wireless Bluetooth keyboard. I must admit that when I reviewed its predecessor [the Magnifico Clip On], I thought it was a cumbersome, bulky device that was more trouble than it was worth. But, I have to say that the new Magnifico Plus, the result of some heavy duty re-engineering, is a vast improvement and worth your consideration. It may make the difference in deciding to use a PDA or not.

I can see clearly now! Nothing works in quite the same was as it ages---that goes for people too. You can eat carrots all you want but the odds are your eyesight will start failing a bit by the time there are enough candles on the birthday cake to start a four alarm file. There is nothing wrong with getting a little help, however, especially since it seems as though the wave of technology is designed and sized for kids. If you’re tired of squinting at your PDA, BlackBerry, iPod, cell phone or even your handy GPS unit, consider fitting it with a Magnifico Plus. This compact screen magnifier (collapsed, it measures 2 7/8"x4 3/4"x1 1/4") is claimed to provide near universal fitment to most palm-sized electronic devices---and courtesy of its optical-grade acrylic lens, provides a 2.5 magnification rate to more easily view miniscule LCD screens. The clamshell design of the Plus provides for immediate use, and virtually no set-up time is said to be needed. The base of the unit is covered with hook-and-loop material, and the packages includes requisite hooking material to be affixed to the back of the PDA or other device. The screen tucks down against the device when not in use, and quickly pivots up when needed; a friction screw in the hinge maintains the lens at the proper adjustment point.

The small size of personal organizers, Global Positioning System receivers, and digital music players means plenty of screens to squint at, but the Magnifico Plus, a magnifier from Officeonthegogo.com, quickly brings things into focus. The redesigned version of the company's (earlier) Clip On magnifying glass for hand-held devices folds down neatly for travel and storage when attached to an organizer or a GPS unit. When it is time to provide the big picture, the large lens on the Magnifico Plus swivels up to enlarge the image on the screen, and can be adjusted to the correct angle. The magnifier fits just about any personal organizer or palm-size GPS unit…The magnifier can be attached to the device with Velcro strips to keep it firmly in place for use on boats, recreational vehicles and dashboards.

Having trouble seeing the fine print on your Palm screen as you call up weather, a flight plan, or an airport diagram? Officeonthegogo.com has developed a solution: the Magnifico PDA magnifier. You snap the (acrylic) lens in position over the PDA screen and adjust the height so that the screen comes into focus. You can tilt the Magnifico to read text on various parts of the screen.

iPAQ for Dummies, by Bruce Underdahl
If you haven't already noticed the following fact, I really hate to be the one who has to tell you this: The screen on an iPAQ is pretty small. This may seem exceptionally harsh to you if you are the sort of person whose arms don't seem to be able to hold the newspaper quite far enough away. If this phenomenon is happening to you, it may be time to check out the Magnifico, a Portable PDA Screen Magnifier…The Magnifico has a 2x power magnifying lens that sits in front of your iPAQ to make the screen easier to read. It's especially useful when combined with a folding keyboard.
