Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 Review
Digital Trends :: Tuesday, March 27, 2007
“Sony revolutionized the world of ultra-thin digicams with its very popular T series. Although Casio, Nikon, Kodak, Pentax and others try to match them, they always seem to fall a bit short. I’ve always loved the sliding front door that powers-up the camera. And although this design has been around for a few years, it’s still as fresh as ever. The DSC-T100 is the latest edition and it has a number of new features we wanted to try out including higher 8.2MP resolution, a more powerful zoom, a better processor and Face Detection–the new setting almost all camera makers are touting in 2007. Now does all this add up to something special or just more of the same? Let’s find out. “

Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 Review
XYZ Computing :: Monday, March 26, 2007
The Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 is a high performance keyboard and mouse combination that is currently Microsoft’s flagship hardware product, at least until the Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 arrives (later this year). This kit pairs Microsoft’s brand new keyboard design with their top-shelf mouse, the Wireless Laser Mouse 8000. Throw in some very cool design, a lot of innovative features, and Bluetooth connectivity and Microsoft is betting they have a product that can’t miss.
Foot Pedal Mod for Rotary Tools
Metku Mods :: Monday, March 26, 2007
“For time to time, one comes up with a killer idea for modding that doesn’t cost much and improves the original product in ways such as looks, usability, functionalty or all these combined. I believe this following mod fits at least one of those categories. For me, this has been a true life saver even though I came up with the idea just only couple of days ago. I hope that you will find this little project worth doing for and get all the benefits out from it like I did.”

Ideazon Merc Gaming Keyboard Review
Overclockers Club :: Sunday, March 25, 2007
“You may be able to remember the days when computerized gaming was very simplistic. Most games consisted of a two dimensional maze, a simple character, and a very finite mission objective. Game play was quite elementary. The only interface equipment you needed was a four-way directional joystick and a fire button. Since the development of the 3 dimensional graphics engine and hardware to support it, the game environment has taken on an unprecedented realism. This interface has had to incorporate much more complex functionality and allow the user lightning fast reaction. Your interface equipment now spells the difference between being on the top of the points standing with bragging rights or ending up in the mediocre middle of the road. To this end there are a number of manufacturers that continue to try to develop the ultimate gaming controller. Ideazon is one of those companies.”
A4Tech KIP(S)-800 IP-Talky VoIP Keyboard/Phone
Review Desk :: Sunday, March 25, 2007
“I’m wondering why A4Tech decided to use a discreet sound solution rather than just passing things through to an external solution. Considering that just about any motherboard you could ever get your hands on has sound on-board, and many people buy discreet sound cards, having another sound solution on a keyboard shouldn’t be on anyone’s ‘must-have’ list. All it does is add potential complications — if you want to use the IP-Talky with a program that doesn’t allow you to select your audio device (unlikely, but possible) you could be stuck having to enable/disable your sound solutions in the device manager on a much-too-frequent basis.”

Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 Review
XYZ Computing :: Saturday, March 24, 2007
While Microsoft currently offers a full range of mice (gaming, ergonomic, portable, etc.) their specialty has always been general use equipment. These are items that work well under almost any circumstances but are not designed with a specific purpose. Most often these are found used in the home or office environment, but some are able gamers or have other strengths. The WLM 8000 is a high-end version of the general use mouse and is not much different from a few of Microsoft’s other mice. It has upgrades- like a laser sensor, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rechargeable base- but is fundamentally the same.

Palm Treo 750 Review
Digital Trends :: Thursday, March 22, 2007
“The 750 is saddled with a bloated price: $399.99 with a two-year contract and including a $100 rebate, but $649.99 if you’re not buying or extending your Cingular plan. Considering the $499/$599 pricing on the 4GB and 8GB iPhones due in June or the similarly-spec’d Samsung Blackjack at $199.99 w/contract or $499.99 w/o contract, it’s hard to justify opting for the 750.”
Five things Microsoft needs to do to fix the Zune
Xbox-Scene :: Thursday, March 22, 2007
From engadget.com (http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/20/five-things-microsoft-needs-to-do-to-fix-the-zune/ ): [QUOTE] We’re not trying to hate, but we think it’s about time Microsoft acknowledged that the ball’s been dropped — and then pick it back up. Stop promising bug fixes and vaporous new features, and stop talking about future Zune products when the current product is ailing. Here are five simple things Microsoft should do to fix the Zune right now, and even make it into a somewhat aggressive contender in one of the most cutthroat gadget categories. In order:
1. Fix the DRM, syncing, and system bugs, and get firmware v1.3 out the door! 2. Add useful WiFi features: wireless streaming to friends, Zune Pass (subscription) song transfer to friends’ Zunes (? la MusicGremlin), computer-free downloads content downloads. 3. Add podcast and vidcast support. It doesn’t even have to be as comprehensive as the iTMS, just a basic RSS reader / enclosure scraper or something. 4. Increase codec support. Go out on a limb and add open (read: free) codecs like FLAC, APE, OGG, XviD; if you really want to make your customers happy, belly up to the bar and license DivX. 5. Drop the price. For most consumers, there is still a huge mental barrier in paying $250 for a Zune when you can pay the same $250 for an iPod. One isn’t necessarily better than the other, but people really love the iPod. Make it $230 MSRP, and let that sink down to like $210 for online retailers. People will freak out that this player, that does all these things it does, is barely more than two bills. [/QUOTE]

Top Tip: Smart U3 drive to non-U3 drive?
Extremetech :: Wednesday, March 21, 2007
So my questions are : If I uninstall the U3 software is it really impossible to re-install it? is this just the company trying to scare me (such as windows warning messages when you stop a background process through the Task Manager?) or is there a way to uninstall the software now and then re-install it when ( if ) the software gains compatibility with OSX?
Logitech MX Revolution Review
Extreme OC Tech :: Wednesday, March 21, 2007
“We really wanted to get our hands on the MX Revolution and after testing and playing with it using it during normal use and gaming we have come to a conclusion that this is one of the best, most comfortable PC mice we have ever used. It is a great mouse for HTPC, Office Work or Web Browsing. We did use the MX Revolution for gaming and it was decent!”
FireWire vs USB
Tech Nibble :: Wednesday, March 21, 2007
“Life would have been easier without choices, wouldn’t it? Sure it might be dull, but at least we wouldn’t have to choose, occasionally make mistakes, and suffer the consequences. It happens all the same in the IT world, where we occasionally have to choose between one and another, be it between Intel and AMD, NVIDIA and ATI, or in the case of this article; FireWire and USB.”
nMedia 2.4GHz RF Wireless Keyboard for the Digital Lounge
Tweak Town :: Wednesday, March 21, 2007
“We’ve been covering some newer products lately that are aiming at a new niche market, the HTPC. Today’s offering also falls into that category, but may also be desirable to a wider market segment. Specifically, we will be taking a look at a wireless keyboard. While created for the home entertainment arena, I can see many who would find this type of product more than just a little interesting.
nMedia is a company created in 2004 with the firm desire to address the entertainment center market group. We have recently taken a look at one of their HTPC enclosures and it fared well. Of course, past accolades won’t have any bearing on today’s article.”
Logitech MX Revolution Wireless Laser Mouse Review
Overclockers Club :: Wednesday, March 21, 2007
“The MX Revolution is the third Logitech mouse that I have had the opportunity to review, the others being the G5 and the G7. While this mouse shares many characteristics with those two, there are some impressive improvements with this one, including some new technology. On the other hand, there are some areas that, in my opinion, could be tweaked a little in order for this mouse to be almost perfect.”
