Samsung YP-T8Z Digital Audio Player
Overclockers Online :: Monday, February 27, 2006
Quote: In today’s highly competitive digital media player market dominated by Apple’s iPod Samsung’s YP-T8Z does an excellent job holding its ground. Though not the ‘iPod slayer’, this feature- filled digital audio player lives up to it’s title as the all-in-one digital audio player with text, pictures, videos, games, FM radio, and USB host support. Although Samsung’s YP-T8Z is priced relatively high in comparison to other flash storage based media players the large 1.8″ vibrant TFT screen and long battery life justify it’s price, after all features, usability and convenience add up separating good products from superb products.
Linksys WRT54GC Wireless Router Review
Digital Grabber :: Monday, February 27, 2006
When connected directly to the router using the Ethernet ports, both LAN to WAN and WAN to LAN speed were measured at about 47Mbits per second. Not quite the 100Mbit/sec but a good performance neither the less. Wireless performance without the optional high gain antenna was superb for such a small router. I measured wireless speed at 24.5Mbits/sec with my notebook right next to the router, dropping to 23.5Mbit/sec when I moved 15 feet away. Speed dropped to 20.5Mbit/sec when I went into the next room and there was a wall for the signal to go though. Basically this means you’ll be able to enjoy very fast wireless speed in your hotel room and your friends in the next room will enjoy very good performance as well.

Microsoft XPOD: Apple and Sony’s Worst Nightmare?
CoolTechZone :: Saturday, February 18, 2006
“Here’s another ghost device that may or may not even be in the works. It could simply be PR speak to scramble the CE industry, but heres what made the headlines recently: Microsoft is expected to launch a portable media device that will compete against Apple and dethrone the world’s most popular MP3 player, the iPod. To add to the chaos, Microsoft will gun for Sony’s PSP as well. Talk about a bold move on Microsoft’s part.”
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S600 Review
Designtechnica :: Thursday, February 16, 2006
“Available since late last year, the Sony DSC-S600 is a great indicator of 2006 consumer price trends. For $199, you get a 6-megapixel compact point-and-shoot camera with a 3x optical zoom from a well-known brand. No, we’re not talking about Concord, DXG or Vivitar but a top-tier company. Depending on the survey du jour, Sony is considered among the top three worldwide. Another indication pricing is going your way is the recent announcement of the Olympus FE-140, a 6MP digicam with a 3x optical zoom and a 2.5-inch LCD screen for $249 list (due March). Like some competitors, Sony used manufacturers in China to cut cost rather than making them in Japan like the recently reviewed DSC-T9. Now did Sony cut back the build quality of the S600? Of course but the key question is the camera worth the money? We’ll snap the shutter and let you know.”
Panasonic TH-42PX50U 42″ Plasma HDTV
Designtechnica :: Wednesday, February 15, 2006
“The TH-42PX50U is a pleasure to watch, easy to operate and packed with the essential connectors and features. It could use another HDMI input and front or side inputs for external sources, but overall it’s a great TV at a great price. Panasonic doesn’t list a lifetime rating for this TV in the specs, but if it did, those hours would be at the normal picture mode versus the vivid setting most people will opt for. The brighter setting will impact the life of the phosphors so buyers should keep that in mind. ”

Laptop Travel Tips
Laptop Lifestyle :: Wednesday, February 15, 2006
Travel laptops require more consideration on top of the usual factors involved in buying a laptop, such as performance, price and warranty. Getting a system that is light is critical. With widescreen models becoming more popular, whilst great for viewing, it just adds weight to the system. If you are not into watching movies or complex graphics, a smaller screen should be fine.

Palm Treo 650
Designtechnica :: Monday, February 13, 2006
“If you’re tired of lugging around your cell phone, PDA, and digital camera every time you leave home, the Treo 650 is worth a gander. While the operating system is aged, the phone is prone to crashing, and you will need to buy an additional SD memory card to get a respectable amount of storage, the undeniable convenience of this hybrid phone should not scare you away.”
Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Review
CoolTechZone :: Monday, February 13, 2006
“A while back, we had some issues with surface tracking in Logitech’s G5 and G7 laser mice. Frankly, that left a bad taste in our mouth, but the world’s largest peripherals maker turned things around after acknowledging the issue and issuing a firmware upgrade for the G5. Besides, you can’t hold a grudge against a company that has a consistency of releasing successful products over and again.”

Bona Fide Reviews :: Friday, February 10, 2006
Back in November of 2005 we reviewed the then top-of-the-line wireless keyboard and mouse set available from Logitech.

Motorola L7 SLVR Cell Phone Review
CoolTechZone :: Sunday, February 05, 2006
“There is the RAZR V3, there is the RAZR V3x and then there is the L6, which we reviewed a while back. With the L7, Motorola attempts to up the ante in the candy bar phone market once again, and just like the superb (in terms of price/performance) L6, the L7 is a work of art, looks sexier and definitely has the features to brag about. We take an in-depth look at Motorolas L7 SLVR and see if Motorola has another winner in its product line.”
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9 Review
Designtechnica :: Friday, February 03, 2006
“Two years ago Sony shook up the digital camera world with the introduction of the DSC-T1, the first 5-megapixel model with a huge 2.5-inch LCD screen and an ultra thin form factor thanks to a non-extending 3x optical zoom lens. Even at $550, it was a smash hit and was followed by many competitors and various iterations by Sony itself. The recently introduced Sony DSC-T9 is the latest edition and it adds some significant improvements including a 6MP imager, higher sensitivity (ISO 640) and Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization, a very important feature for a camera that’s held by your fingertips. Even better the camera is cheaper than the original by a 100 clams. Now is this the pocketable camera of your dreams? Let’s fire it up and see, shall we?”
