USB Flash Drive Roundup – October 2006
Hardware Secrets :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“USB flash memory drives are now part of our lives. Smaller and with a capacity higher than floppy disks, these devices are the perfect replacement for the old floppies. This time we brought four new models from Patriot (Xporter XT), ATP (ToughDrive), Corsair (Flash Readout) and OCZ (Roadster) and added them to our previous roundup, so we are comparing 13 different USB flash drives. Who is the winner?”

Super Talent 2GB MEGA Screen MP3/FM/Recorder Player Review
Virtual Hideout :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“The MEGA Screen looks to be available in both a 1GB and 2B versions with the latter selling for around $90 USD. That’s a good bit of savings compared to the iPod Nano, which doesn’t include the built-in FM tuner! If you’re looking for a simple portable MP3/FM player, I can solidly recommend the Super Talent 2GB MEGA Screen.”
Corepad Victory Mousepad
Monster Hardware :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“The front of the Victory is a plastic surface. I played with all kinds of mice and noticed no difference when switching between a laser, optical or old fashioned ball mouse. Each one of the mice I used worked great and seemed to glide over the Victory with ease. Cleaning the Victory was very easy. I contacted the company support and they suggest using a glass cleaner to clean it up. The text on the pad is protected by the plastic surface and does not rub off while cleaning.”

Apple MacBook 13-inch 1.83GHz Follow-Up
Techgage :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“In my MacBook review almost two months ago, my final recommendation was a bit open-ended. My first technical support experience with Apple was very positive. My AC adapter broke and the folks at the Apple Store were creative in finding an adequate solution before I left for a vacation. However, my second experience didn’t go so well.”
OCZ Roadster USB2 Flash Drive
3d Game Man :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“While there are countless USB2 flash drives on the market, few are as compact as the OCZ Roadster USB2 Flash Drive though. One impressive feature is it’s foldable, which protects the drive and looks cool. If you don’t have a USB2 flash drive, you are one of the very few. With flash drives so inexpensive it’s almost inexcusable not to have one for backing up or transporting data…”
Smarthumb My.Backup Software 
Dragonsteel Mods :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
” Backing up your data is something that should be done often, you never know what can happen, and when that something might happen. I myself have had two hard drives fail in the last two years, the first time I lost pretty much everything, but the second time I only lost a few emails, because I did backups. There is a lot of software out there for doing backups, but most of it is fairly expensive and complicated to use, today for review I have a program called my.backup and it is from a company called Smarthumb, the software is very easy to use and is very inexpensive, very much worth the money. Read on to learn a bit more about my.backup… ”

Vizo UFO 4 Port USB Hub 
Think Computers :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“As we look at computer accessories so many of them are USB devices. Keyboards, mice, card readers, hard drives, they all use USB now. With so many USB devices you may not have enough USB ports to support them all. That is where a USB hub comes in, you can use the hub to connect many more USB devices to your computer. Today we are taking a look at the Vizo UFO 4 port USB hub.”

“USB drives are probably one of the most popular storage devices people use today, mainly because of their portability and increasing storage capacity. With so many people using such devices each day it would be nice to have a backup program that can easily backup files to your USB drive.

A-DATA FP1 Biometric Thumb Drive – Fingerprint Data Security
Tweak Town :: Tuesday, October 10, 2006
“Thumb drives come and thumb drives go. They have become a part of our normal daily routine for many, so having one in a pocket, briefcase or purse is quite common. If you spend just a minute or two searching, you will also come up with almost as many manufacturers with their own thumb drive that they want to sell you. But what if the data you store on that drive is important; or special; or even, shall I say it, secret?”

We’ve got a list here today that should be right up your alley.”
Apple iPod nano 4GB (2nd Generation)
The Tech Lounge :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“Every once in a while in the tech review biz you just have to use your press credentials for something frivolous, something outlandish, something cushy. While most of the products we review here at TheTechLounge.com are bleeding-edge electronics it doesn’t mean that we aren’t sensitive to the softer side of things, and we don’t mean Windows Vista.”
iPod and Zune Side-by-Side Comparison Shocks
Daily CE :: Monday, October 09, 2006
“Finally, it’s about time someone compared the two rivals side-by-side. We are delighted to report that Apple iPod is relatively slimmer than the upcoming iPod Killer Microsoft Zune and is effectively not a killer by stretch of the means. While Microsoft decided not to comment, we believe they are having a panic attack right now. Hopefully, the company isn’t surprised to see this, or it’s in for a shocker.”

Wires: Fear the Nueva Wraptor
Daily CE :: Friday, October 06, 2006
“I understand wires tend to get a little out of control with CE devices these days, and getting a wire management tool is always a good idea to keep yourself sane and untangled. Keeping that in mind, welcome the Nueva Wraptor; if you are a wire reading this, you better start getting worried.”

PC Mech :: Sunday, October 01, 2006
For this week’s Freeware Frenzy, I’m going to take a look at TigoTago, a music tagging program. TigoTago may have an interesting name, but with easy ID3 tag editing for mp3, wma, wav, asf, wmv and avi, it could be the answer to any perpetually unorganized music collection.
Motorola V3i review
Driver Heaven :: Tuesday, October 03, 2006
“I’m pretty sure that the inventor of mobile phones would never have imagined that one day his creation would actually become a fashion accessory. However, that is exactly what happened when Motorola launched the famous V3 flip phone, becoming the new “it” thing to have and selling millions in the process. I owned the older V3 and I must say, today I can finally admit that it was a horrible mobile phone, even for its days. The camera was underwhelming, the features were lacking and the software was slightly clunky, leaving a hollow feel to the phone. You were paying for the styling only, which is alright when it looks absolutely outstanding compared to other handsets, but nowadays, the competition has caught up and Motorola phones aren’t the only fashion accessories around (for example, LG Chocolate is the new “it” phone). So finally, Motorola decided to give some substance to the V3 and thus, the V3i was born, hoping to remedy all the problems of its older brother.”
MP4 Watch for Videos
Cool Tech Zone :: Monday, October 02, 2006
“To be honest, PMPs are getting pretty stale these days. There’s nothing exciting about a device that can play music and video from a single device, right? If you feel the same way, check out this watch that can play MP4 videos on a screen that’s tinier than your cell phone display.”

Nokia recently announced 3 new phones that have a huge focus on music. They include the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic, 5200, and 5300 XpressMusic.
