| Texters' Mobile Phone: LG enV VX9900 |
| 2008-03-31 14:24:23 |
The LG enV VX9900 looks like a regular candy bar phone with a standard keypad, d-pad and display on the front face. But this LG mobile phone opens like a laptop to reveal a spacious QWERTY keyboard and a large inner display that's flanked by gutsy stereo speakers. For those who want a mobile phone with a keyboard for texting but don't need all the features of a smartphone or PDA phone, let alone the more expensive data plans associated with them, the LG VX9900 enV bridges the gap.Specifications:QWERTY Keyboard for Easy MessagingProduct Line enVCell Phone Type Camera, Digital Player, MP3, VideoCarrier Verizon WirelessCell Network Technology CDMAWireless Technology BluetoothSupported Memory MicroSDMegapixels 2.0 ...

| 2008-03-25 01:09:41 |
The Olympus E-420, an entry level digital SLR camera is now within reach of budget-conscious enthusiasts. It's extremely portable while having the power of a DSLR and a point and shoot camera at the same time. The lightweight 10-megapixel E420 DSLR offers heavyweight technologies. Weighing a mere 380 grams (13.4 ounces), the Olympus E-420 is 20 to 40 percent lighter than competing DSLRs. Good things come in this small package, including Live View, which enables users to hold the camera away from their faces and interact with their subjects - ideal when capturing photos of children, for example.The Olympus E-420 Digital SLR will be available in May 2008, so we have really yet to hear feedback from real users. The pack will include: E-420 Body, USB Cable, Video Cable, Li-Ion Battery Pack (BL...

| Ultraportable Convertible Laptop: Fujitsu LifeBook U810 |
| 2008-03-22 11:18:08 |
The all-new Fujitsu LifeBook U810 has the functionality of a traditional notebook, but only half the size. It is one of the world's smallest convertible notebooks. It fits in your palm, yet it is rich with features that let you work, access e-mail, watch video, listen to MP3s, browse the Internet, take pictures, or stay connected with friends and family. It's a higher-end alternative to the Asus EEE.

| Cowon iAudio6 - Not Worth its Price? |
| 2008-03-22 11:17:46 |
The Cowon iAudio 6 can play and record a lot of media types but its small screen is discouraging. This mp3 player has a neat style but you have to hold it horizontally to get a good view of the small screen. It can play MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV and Ogg Vorbis. It comes with a USB cable to synchrnize and transfer files as well as charge the battery when connected to a PC. At $230, almost the same prize as an iPod Nano, I don't think this player is worth it, but may be perfect for those who doesn't mind the small screen.Specifications:Supports MP3, OGG, WMA, ASF, FLAC, WAV, Moving Picture Playback, FM Radio Receiver and Recording, Voice Recording, Line-In Recording TXT (Text), JPEG (Image) File Viewer (Image Enlargement, Background Screen Designation)built-in 0.85 inch HDD (4GB)USB Host I...

| Diamond-Studded iPhone |
| 2008-03-18 15:00:51 |
This iPhone is obviously the world's most expensive iPhone. It's named "Princess Plus" and it truly showcases Peter Aloisson's craze for phones and diamonds. The 17.75 carats of diamond are set in 18 carat white gold that outlines the edge of the iPhone. Half of its 318 diamonds are square-cut instead of the common round stones which makes this phone a whopping $176,400 worth. Well, there is a lesser expensive version (but still expensive nonetheless) which is a round-cut diamond only version, sold at bloody $66,150.Here are the images, I found at Luxurylanches....

| Haier ibiza Rhapsody |
| 2008-03-03 14:37:53 |
The 30GB Ibiza Rhapsody will allow you to download your favorite music, videos, pictures, and more, with no PC connection! It is another attempt at direct wireless downloads. It was one of the sexiest designs we have seen on an MP3 player. However, to cut production costs the Ibiza lost its slick solid aluminum feel and just became just a pretty good looking player. Even though some of the design was lost, the many features and user interface remained intact.To get the full benefit of the Ibiza Rhapsody you must subscribe to Rhapsody. If you do not, it is just another player with the inability to use half of the features. The bottom line is if you are an all-you-can- download subscription music junkie or are a Rhapsody fan, the ibiza is definitely a player ...

| LG Chocolate VX8500 Hypes but Disappoints |
| 2008-03-02 13:44:57 |
The LG Chocolate VX8500 is awesome looking and has a nice screen. It has a smooth and silky look, like a bar of fine dark chocolate. Its touch pad is superb. It is being dubbed as a music phone and its cool exterior slightly resembles the U2-inspired iPod. However, the phone has poor streaming video quality and low talk-time battery life. It doesn't have a speakerphone, which I don't mind--how often do we use the speakerphone anyway? This LG phone's stunning design, Bluetooth, digital music player, and megapixel camera is enough to make this gadget worth buying, although it doesn't quite live up to the hype when it's being advertised.Specifications:Cell Network Technology: GSMBand:Tri BandWireless Technology: Bluetooth1.3 Megapixels3.5 hrs Talk Time S...

| HP Compaq 2710p: Stylish Ultraportable Laptop |
| 2008-03-02 13:07:47 |
The HP Compaq 2710p has an attractive design; available with Windows Vista or XP Tablet PC edition. It has excellent screen/keyboard light. The HP Compaq 2710p stands out by virtue of its stylish design. It's not the lightest ultraportable, though, and many mobile professionals will want to specify the 3G option. The lack of an optical drive and a touchpad may also bother some potential buyers.The first impression of this laptop is one of stylishness. Even when it's closed, this laptop has a certain elegance thanks to its rounded corners. The lid is a dark silver/gray color, while the main system unit is black and has a rubberized finish that helps to stop it sliding around on a desk or lap.The lid and system unit are held...

The DLO TransDock Deluxe is one of the most full-featured iPod FM transmitters on the market. Beyond charging and broadcasting your iPod, the TransDock Deluxe includes an AV output, an auxiliary input, a remote control, and a USB charging outlet.The DLO TransDock Deluxe is large and not very portable.

| The Logitech Pure-Fi Elite iPod Speaker Dock |
| 2008-03-02 13:03:54 |
The Logitech Pure-Fi Elite stands above the iPod speaker competition with a can't-miss combination of excellent design, great sound, and a low price. The Logitech Pure-Fi Elite is a sleekly designed iPod speaker system with AM/FM radio. It has composite and S-Video output for displaying photos and videos from compatible iPods. It boasts an excellent LCD display plus the good sound quality, with decent bass and clarity for a speaker system this compact. And most especially, it's affordable.Unfortunately, it has no alarm to go with the clock. The S-Video slot is recessed, making it difficult to plug in some S-Video cables. Also, the video output doesn't work with sixth-generation video iPods....

| The Ultrathin Laptop: Sony VAIO TZ150N |
| 2008-03-02 13:01:24 |
The Sony VAIO TZ150N is extremely slim and light yet manages to squeeze in DVD burner. This Sony VAIO has a head-turning design, excellent battery life and includes integrated WWAN.Almost impossibly slim, the body of the Sony VAIO TZ measures just less than an inch thick. Adding the standard battery raises the rear of the laptop slightly, to 1.17 inches thick, but this is still one of the smallest systems you'll find outside of a UMPC. Because it weighs less than three pounds, the VAIO TZ feels a little fragile, especially around the hinges, but the carbon-fiber casing should offer adequate protection.The keyboard uses evenly spaced flat keys, much like an Apple MacBook. The tiny keys and touch pad felt usable, but it takes ...

| Mini Laptop for Students: Intel Classmate PC |
| 2008-03-02 12:59:42 |
With a 7-inch display and solid-state hard drive, the Intel Classmate PC is clearly designed to withstand greater wear and tear, with a thick ruggedized plastic shell. While the Classmate isn't currently available to individual consumers, the technologies reflected here will likely filter down to consumer systems, leading to cheaper, smaller laptops for everyone, although likely not directly from Intel, which wants to stay out of the system-selling business.This mini laptop shares many physical traits with the $399 Linux-based Asus Eee PC. The Classmate starts at $225, and for around $350, you can get one set up like our review unit, preloaded with Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003--both software packages specially confi...

| The Most Affordable Sony Vaio Laptop: Sony VAIO CR120 |
| 2008-03-02 12:59:11 |
Its shiny finish, with touches of chrome and decorative LEDs, the Sony VAIO CR120 certainly looks more expensive than its actual price. It has a sleek design and glossy finish with LEDs that you can program to glow even when the laptop is switched off. It measures 13.1 x 10 x 1.3 inches, weighs just 6.1 pounds and sells for $1000. The laptop comes in four colors with silver interiors.The keyboard is well designed with spacious keys that are concave and make typing easy. The touch pad is wide enough and facilitates easy navigation. The media control keys for playback, pause, stop, forward and rewind are at the base of the touch pad and you can use them even when the lid is closed. There is a set of buttons above the keyboard ...

| Best Ultraportable Laptop: Toshiba Portege R500-S5002 |
| 2008-03-02 12:58:18 |
Incredibly thin and light, the Toshiba Portege R500-S5002 manages to squeeze a 12-inch display into a package even lighter than Sony's 11-inch VAIO TZ150. The laptop has excellent battery life and includes an optical drive. Cast in a matte silver, with an ultrathin LED backlit display, the R500 is impressively small, especially for a system with a built-in optical drive.The R500 manages to fit in a decent-sized keyboard which made for comfortable typing, and even avoids the annoying ultraportable trap of eliminating important keys, squeezing in separate page-up and page-down keys (always important for laptop Web surfing). A fingerprint reader sits between the two mouse buttons, but there's no Webcam.The 12.1-inch display ...

| A Powerful Smartphone Packed with Memory: Nokia N95 8GB |
| 2008-03-02 12:56:15 |
The Nokia N95 8GB is an updated version of the best-selling original N95 and while it's still rather chunky, there are a few serious changes to it that make it a significantly better mobile phone than its predecessor. The 8GB Nokia N95 brings a plethora of on board memory to an already powerful smartphone.Packing a larger screen than the original N95, we really enjoyed viewing content on the N95 8GB, particularly watching videos and browsing the Web. The navigation keys at the bottom of the screen, although smaller, seemed easier to press too. Overall, the interface felt snappier to use and the N95 8GB's boot-up time was far quicker.At the back of the N95 8GB, the fiddly camera cover is...

| Lowest Priced Lenovo 3000 N200 Laptop |
| 2008-03-02 12:55:08 |
Small businesses on a budget--as well as home users in search of a straightforward productivity machine--will love the rich features, decent performance, and rock-bottom price of the 14.1-inch Lenovo 3000 N200.The small-business-focused Lenovo 3000 line has long been one of the best deals going if you want to buy a laptop built on the latest Intel processors and platforms. Its primary competition, performance-wise, came from a Sony VAIO CR120 built on many of the same components, which kept pace with the Lenovo on all but one of our tests. But the slickly designed Sony incorporates a number of media-friendly features destined to appeal to entertainment-minded home users.The Lenovo 3000 N200 doesn't feel quite as tank-like as its ThinkPad cousins, but its c...

| One Laptop Per Child (OLPC XO-1) - Is it Achievable? |
| 2008-03-02 12:53:30 |
The OLPC XO-1 is a cyber-hippy's dream come true: a simple, practical wireless laptop packed with cool new technologies and stuffed with open-source software. It's currently not available for sale to consumers, although Negroponte has said that the UK is in line for a 'Give 1, Get 1' donation program during 2008.The XO-1's primary audience is children, who'll love the bash-it-about ruggedness, textured plastic housing and comfortable built-in grip -- no need for a poncy laptop sleeve here. There are dozens of smart design touches, from the show-off -- flip-up Wi-Fi rabbit ears that also lock the keyboard in place -- to the simply sensible -- the three USB ports are in different orientations to suit different devices and cab...

| Sexiest Laptop Ever: Lenovo IdeaPad U110 |
| 2008-03-02 12:48:05 |
The Lenovo IdeaPad U110 has a colored, textured lid that sports an intricate floral pattern that's rough to the touch, and beautiful to the eye. This sort of thing could have gone horribly wrong, but Lenovo's designers have pulled it off in a way that should appeal to men and women alike. Thus, it is seen as the sexiest laptop ever made so far.Another good news with the U110 is that it's incredibly easy to carry around at only 2.4lbs of weight. It was simple to hold and palm in the hand for the purpose of taking pictures for instance.Inside, there's one of the prettiest keyboards in the known universe. It's piano black, so it'll pick up more fingerprints than an entire series of CSI, but you can't help but love the look. Above it, there's a row of touch-se...

| Sneak Preview of the Thinnest Laptop Ever: Apple Macbook Air |
| 2008-03-02 12:46:38 |
The Apple MacBook Air is the thinnest laptop ever made. At its fattest end it's still thinner than the nearest competitor's thinnest.The Apple MacBook Air is sturdy and doesn't feel like it's going to snap or bend. Also bear in mind that the 4mm-thick part is right at the edge. The rest of the system gets gradually thicker towards the 19mm edge at the rear. At its thickest edge (towards the rear) it's a mere 19.3mm, while at its thinnest its just 4mm. It's got a 13.3-inch glossy screen, a full-size backlit keyboard, built-in iSight Web camera, microphone and stereo speakers, and -- oh yes -- a multi-touch trackpad.The most fun element is this multi-touch track pad. Zooming in and out of im...

| Tiny, Super Affordable Laptop: Asus EEE PC 701 |
| 2008-03-02 12:44:26 |
Meet the Asus Eee PC 701 -- an ultraportable laptop that's very affordable. The three 'e's represent Asus' vision of it being "easy to learn, easy to work, easy to play". The Eee PC is one of the smallest laptops on the market. At 225 by 35 by 165mm, it's about the size of a hardback book, and weighs 920g. Its petite dimensions give it a toy-like appearance, but this is countervailed by the pearl-white finish, which gives it a touch of sophistication. Ultimately, the Eee PC looks equally at home on the catwalk or in a child's playpen -- it is what you make of it.Because it's so small, some sacrifices have been made. The keyboard is exceptionally tiny and the keys are very closely grouped. Whereas keys on a standard desktop k...

| Luxury Flash-Based MP3 and Video Player: iRiver B20 |
| 2008-03-02 12:43:35 |
iRiver's new DAB-sporting B20 pulls into shore with a high price. With only 4GB of memory makes it one of the most expensive flash-based players we've ever seen, and £80 more costly than a video-playing 8GB iPod nano. Slightly cheaper 1GB and 2GB version are available as well.The big question is: Does the inclusion of DAB radio make this player worth such a premium over iRiver's 2nd-gen Clix?Well, if you liked the look of iRiver's new Clix -- the Clix 2 to some people -- then there's a good chance you'll like the B20. It's basically a fatter version of the Clix. The innovative four-way Direct Click control lets you browse the player by physically clicking the screen. It's a nice feature, but a rough hand could pull the scre...

| Affordable Desktop-Replacement Laptop: Acer TravelMate 6592 |
| 2008-03-02 12:39:40 |
The Acer TravelMate 6592 is an affordable laptop that should suit anyone looking for a capable, mostly desk-bound, system. Although it's fairly basic, the webcam is a handy extra, while fingerprint recognition is fast becoming a 'must-have' feature for business users.The TravelMate 6592 is a desktop replacement model. The TravelMate 6592 is nominally a 'thin-and-light' laptop, but its relative bulk means it's functionally a desktop replacement. At 2.9kg you're unlikely to want to carry it very far or very often, and if you do make it a travel companion you'll need a pretty capacious bag. It plants a footprint 360mm wide by 275mm deep. At its maximum, the TM 6592 is 37mm thick.This laptop's ...

| Sleekest Lenovo ThinkPad Laptop: X300 |
| 2008-03-02 12:38:00 |
The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 breaks new ground by packing a broad display, full-size keyboard, and nearly every feature a mobile user needs into a sleek, lightweight case. Its solid-state drive comes at a high premium and its touch pad's location makes it easy to accidentally graze while typing. However, it's extremely thin and light--has almost the same weight as the MacBook Air. It has a removable battery, a built-in optical drive, integrated WWAN, and multiple USB ports which makes this little ultra portable much more desirable from a business standpoint. It's the sleekest ThinkPad yet.Specifications:Type: Ultraportable, Business, Small BusinessOperating System: MS Windows XP ProfessionalProcessor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo L7100Processor Speed: 1.2 GHzRAM: 2 GBWeight: 3.3 lbScreen Size: 13.3 i...

| Stylish iPod Dock, CD Player and FM Radio in ONE! |
| 2008-03-02 12:07:28 |
The Philips DCM230 is a stylish CD player and iPod dock station. The DCM230 isn't about streaming media, however, it's all about iPods. It's a bit pricey, but a couple of stand-out features could justify the cost.There's nothing questionable about the DCM230's design. It has an exceptionally modern image, complimented by a solid build. A self-loading CD drive sits within a highly reflective front panel beneath an LCD display. The display itself is quite pleasant and functional.A bunch of buttons sit on top and provide only some of the functionality you'll need -- you'll need the remote for the rest. And while it's fairly understandable to place a USB port on the top, sticking the auxiliary input there is not. We're not fond of...
