DSLR owners are a special breed that will spend a lot of money for the right lens or accesory. They can be a really tough crowd to shop for.

Linksys WIP300 Wireless-G IP Phone Review
Buzz Me Baby :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“A new Wi-Fi VoIP phone, with not the same disappointing features as previous VoIP phones, is in the market for VoIP lovers. Linksys have launched its VoIP and Wi-Fi enabled phone – The WIP300. It allows you cheap high-quality voice over IP calls through a wireless network network attached to a high-speed Internet connection allowing you to escape your computer when using VoIP.”

Hiyatek CF-6159-1 Laptop Cooler with USB Hub Review
Big Bruin :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
There is a compartment on the bottom side of the Hiyatek CF-6159-1 cooler between the two fan openings. Opening a sliding door reveals a storage area for the included USB power cable which has two full size connectors on the end intended for your notebook computer, while the end intended for the cooler has a single mini USB connector. In some situations it may be necessary to have both connections plugged into the host computer to make sure that enough power is provided and that data can be transferred through the hub connections, but I found that using just one USB connection was more than adequate on my notebook computer.

Canon HV10 Review
Digital Trends :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“The HV10 uses the HDV format that records 1080I high-def signals on blank MiniDV tapes, similar to the Sony Handycam HDR-HC3 ($1,399 US)—and much more expensive Sony HDR-FX7 ($3,499 US) and Canon XH A1 ($3,999 US). Video quality is very good. Don’t take our word for it–you really need to see it on new flat panel TV to appreciate it—and some retailers have displays that do just that. Canon was a little late to the HDV game—as they are always laggards when it comes to new video technology. A very conservative company, they’d rather let pioneers take the arrows to determine if there is a market. Once it’s “real,” Canon jumps in. That’s why Canon’s first generation HDV model arrived late in 2006, almost 18 months after Sony’s HDR-HC1, the first really consumer-oriented HDV camcorder. But that’s ancient history. How does the Canon HV10 fare—and should you use it to record your New Year’s revelry?”

Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB USB U3 Flash Drive
Overclockers Club :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“This isn’t just any ordinary flash drive. In fact, it not only holds 2GBs of data, it also houses U3 software. What is ‘U3’, you might ask? Well, have you ever wanted to carry around all your personal programs and preferences, or even your wallpaper, to take to a work, or friend’s computer? Well this flash drive can do that, and so much more, all in a super heavy-duty case!

Sandisk is a very well known name, selling in countless stores worldwide. Established in 1988, Sandisk has grown into one of the world’s largest flash memory manufacturers. They have pioneered the flash memory front with 315 US patents, and rights to manufacture any flash format there is.”

Ken’s 10 Christmas Wishlist for 2006
Tech ARP :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“Ken Ng’s a geek in need of his toys this Christmas! Will you help him get them? Find out what he’s hot about this Christmas and if you are in a festive mood, get him (and the team too!) some of those uber-cool toys! ”

Gennum nXZEN VoIP Bluetooth Headset Review
Legit Reviews :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“We paired up this headset with our normal cadre of cell phones: Treo 650, Treo 700w, Motorola RAZR V3, and a T-mobile MDA Vario. They all paired well and easily. The Gennum nXZEN gave us pretty good range away from the handset. I was able to stay in contact with my caller when walking almost 20 feet away from the phone. The headset’s main action button has the ability to redial your last call, swap incoming/outgoing calls, as well as transferring calls from the headset to the handset – pretty standard stuff for headsets these days…”

Techware Labs :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“Considering the purchase of a laptop or in the market already? You should consult our guide to help clarify the confusing terminology you will find when looking for a laptop. We will help you make a better buying decision so you get a laptop you want and don’t overpay for something stuff you don’t want or need.”

Digital Trends :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“Be the envy of your friends with the Alienware Aurora M9700 laptop, with dual video cards in SLI mode.”

USB Combine Telephone for Skype from USBGeek
Dragonsteel Mods :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
” VoIP has become something that pretty much everyone uses for its convenience and the fact that most of the time it’s free. Many companies have come out with handsets that are made just for Skype or VoIP systems, and many just aren’t that good. Today for review I have one that is relatively cheap in price but is actually a decent phone and it’s from our friends at USBGeek.. It’s a basic handset without all the frills of others but it does the job and does it well. Read on to check it out… ”

Alienware Sentia m3450 14″ Widescreen Notebook
The Tech Lounge :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“The Alienware Sentia m3450 14″ widescreen notebook sports a 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of 667MHz DDR2, 100GB 7,200 RPM Hard Drive, and a Dual Layer DVD Writer. It looks promising as a notebook for students and businessmen who want something portable without sacrificing too much power. We knew it wasn’t going to be a gamer’s laptop from the onset, as it uses integrated video, but we put it through its paces for 30 days to find out whether it’s worth the Alienware price premium.”

Alienware Area-51 m5550 15.4-inch Laptop
Think Computers :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“Power and mobility are 2 very important factors when choosing a laptop. You want something that is powerful enough to suit your needs, but also portable enough so that it is not a hassle to travel with. We recently reviewed the Dell XPS M1210 laptop and it achieved both of those factors easily. Today we will be taking a look at Alienware’s Area-51 m5550 15.4-inch laptop and we will see how it stacks up to the M1210 and if it is portable enough for our needs. So let’s take a look.”

OCZ Technology Mega Kart 8GB Ultra Slim USB 2.0 Flash Drive Review
Futurelooks :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
The first thing someone will likely think when they lay eyes on the OCZ Technologies Mega Kart is that it looks like a credit card. Well very true indeed, the OCZ Mega Kart is designed to be similar in size to that of a credit card so you can carry it in your wallet. With 8 GB of storage bulging from your pocket, don’t be surprised if you get comments filled with innuendo.

Vantec Piano 101 Notebook Cooler
Bjorn 3d :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
Anyone who has worked with a laptop for a longer period of time knows that it gets very hot underneath. Not only can that produce some nasty effects on your lap but it also can both shorten the life span of the laptop as well as affect the performance when the computer clocks back the speed of the CPU and/or GPU due to the heat.

Notebook coolers have been available for a few years now so when Vantec released their Piano 101 they made sure to make it more than just another laptop cooler. In addition to the fan cooling the laptop they also put in a complete sound system and USB-hub.

Logitech G7 Laser Wireless Gaming Mouse Review
Tweaknews :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
“The G7 in my mind should be standard equipment for any computer user that wants to truly enjoy his/her computer with complete control, accuracy and problem free longevity you want for your money. Kudos to Logitech with their quick swap battery technology. Finally a wireless mouse that isn’t heavy to use.”

Netgear SC101 Network Drive Review
Tekbunker :: Wednesday, December 06, 2006
I’ll start off with the scenario. With all the websites I design, run and maintain, I need a lot of backups. With all the recent hacking and defacing of websites, I defiantly need backups. The frequency was increasing to a daily dump of information which is necessary to keep the sites alive. I also beta test for mainly Microsoft, Vista, MSN messenger and a few other programmes.

X-Micro X-VDO MP4 F610 – Portable Music Video Player
Tweak Town :: Monday, December 04, 2006
“As far as features are concerned, you would be hard pressed to find another player that does more for the money. Between the audio and video file playback, you also have an FM radio tuner, a photo viewer and a backup storage device to boot. With these devices coming in at 512MB, 1GB and 2GB sizes, you can choose the one that best handles your needs.”

AnyDrive 3 Multifunction MP3 Player FM Wireless Transmitter Review
Tweaknews :: Sunday, December 03, 2006
“Overall, the AnyDrive is a mixed bag. By itself, it’s a decent enough player, but very limited. Lack of file support, quirky backlighting, and all but useless instructions knock the Anydrive down a few notches.”

X-Gene Imperial Wireless Keyboard
Dragonsteel Mods :: Sunday, December 03, 2006
” Hey, check this out: For review today I have what I believe is the perfect keyboard for any HTPC system. The keyboard is from X-Gene and it is not only wireless but also features a trackball and ergonomic grips on the sides. It looked like a really cool keyboard on the X-Gene site, but it wasn’t until I got it into my hands that I found out just how great it really is. The X-Gene Imperial has your standard keyboard sans the keypad, with multimedia and internet hot keys lined across the top and an optical trackball built into the keyboard itself. It’s small size make it perfect for storing when not needed. The X-Gene Imperial isn’t just for HTPC systems by any means it would work for any computer, but I just found it to be the perfect compliment to my HTPC system. Well read on to check out this exciting and very cool product… ”
