Review: Nokia N93
Digital Trends :: Thursday, December 28, 2006
“Nokia’s N93 is the Swiss Army knife of cell phones, a teeming tenement of technologies. A 3.2 MP digital camera and a 30 frame per second (fps) camcorder are a combination available on no other phone besides the N93 (at least, not as this is being written). This phone also has camcorder-like ergonomics with a swivel-up-and-around 2.4-inch LCD screen, WiFi connectivity, an MP3 player with stereo Bluetooth, and lots of included multimedia software that turns the phone into a pocket PC. And as a tri-band EDGE/GSM 900/1800/1900 phone, the N93 is compatible with high-speed EDGE networks all over the world. ”

Think Computers :: Wednesday, December 27, 2006
“VIZO is a relative newcomer to the computer products market, at least in the Pittsburgh gaming scene. I’ve not seen their products before, save at a recent Pittco event where VIZO had donated some 80 mm fans for prizes. This review is for VIZO’s NINJA Notebook Cooler, an aluminum, graded, and air-blowing unit for laptops. VIZO gives this somewhat-Engrish description for the NINJA Notebook Cooler. VIZO decided to take advantage of the news of the recent laptop fires in summing up their product: For many notebook PC users, the overheating unit is an ongoing point of frustration and worry. Oftentimes, they are hard at work while their notebook is literally on fire. VIZO notebook cooler, NINJA, is designed to draw a continual flow of cool air across the computer’s hottest surface, plus, it’s aluminum housing offers the best heat conduction. NINJA can kill the unit’s temperature in a flash. Moreover, NINJA works at low dBA level as cat walking. NOISELESS HEAT KILLER, NINJA, is the best guard for your notebook PC.”

Lenovo Thinkpad X60 Tablet Review
XYZ Computing :: Monday, December 25, 2006
In case you are not overly familiar with the Thinkpad lineup, it is worth spending a few minutes to get a basic understanding of what is going on. The ultraportable “X” line is composed of laptops with a 12″ display, Intel mobile processor (a low voltage model in some cases), and very low weight. To make a long story short, the X60 Tablet is long overdue successor to the X41 Tablet but if it is anything like the X60s, it will be worth the wait. It should be noted that the X60t is actually based on the X60s, not the X60, a fact that can be quickly be discerned by a quick look at the specs.

USB El Wire Mod How-To
GruntvillE :: Monday, December 25, 2006
“I looked at it, and realized it was an A-B type connector: like for printers. What good is that, what are these companies thinking? Can’t use it for mice, or keyboards, or cameras, or anything but a printer without an adapter. Unless…
Unless I could match up the USB wires and patch it directly onto my favorite Peripheral.”

Raptor Gaming M3 Mouse review 
Driver Heaven :: Thursday, December 21, 2006
“A few months ago we reviewed the Raptor K2 keyboard , the cheap and less than cheerful followup to the excellent (and rather expensive) original K1. Unlike many companies, our less than positive review didn’t deter Raptor Gaming from supplying us with their newest gaming mouse the “M3”. The M3 is the highest specification mouse in their newest series.”

Anydrive 3 MP3 Player Review
RB Mods :: Wednesday, December 20, 2006
Nowadays, mp3 and other digital audio players are everywhere, each offering mostly the same basic functions in different shapes and sizes. With big-named companies like Apple and Microsoft in the mp3 player business, products have to come up with creative features to make a name for themselves. Merconnet, popular online retailer, sent us one such “unique” mp3 player, the Anydrive 3. Let’s just say that totally different than your iPOD or most other players on the market. Read on to find out about this unique product.
Samsung/Cingular BlackJack
Digital Trends :: Wednesday, December 20, 2006
At some point cell phone designers will stop screwing around with the keypad layout. To help differentiate its otherwise slammin’ Blackjack (aka SGH-1607), available from Cingular for $499.99 (or $199.99 with the usual contract commitment stipulations), Samsung’s industrial designers could not resist screwing with the numeric keypad. Instead of integrating the standard three-by-three plus 0 arrangement into the QWERTY layout like every other Smartphone extant, they’ve instead bizarrely alternated the grey number keys with black alpha keys. In other words, the 1/E key is next to the @/R button instead of the 2. What in the Sam Hill were they thinking? Different sure, but Samsung also has vastly increased the level of difficulty for this device’s primary function — making a phone call. Talk about your fatal flaws. ”

LG UP3Flat Shuffle Killer
Cool Tech Zone :: Wednesday, December 20, 2006
“I’m speechless. Usually, I’m quick to blast off iPod gimmicks, but honestly, I don’t know whether I should like or dislike the UP3Flat. Really, it looks better than the Shuffle, some might argue. But on the other hand, couldn’t LG have been just a tad bit unique and maybe added a display to separate from the millions of Apple copycats?”

Nova Raider Mouse Mat Review
XS Reviews :: Wednesday, December 20, 2006

Project PDA :: Wednesday, December 20, 2006

Basically, when one of your programs crashes, and error is sent out to Microsoft so they can fix the bug. Turn this feature off, and get better performance out of your PDA or Smartphone…”
