Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Review: Weak CPU, Awesome Keyboard
Dell’s latest netbook, the Inspiron Mini 10, is a definite step up from their previous two releases, the Mini 9 and the Mini 12, which received much criticism despite posting decent sales. For once, Dell seems to have hit the ideal netbook size, while packing just enough goods at an affordable price.
As with all netbooks, [...]
Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena Review
You’ve probably been exposed to Riddick in some form, either with the classic Xbox game or the series of movies starring Vin Diesel. This new 360 release, Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena, looks to revive the franchise back to life. How well does it fare?
To put it succinctly, not so well.
Dark Athena is [...]
Is Verizon Going To Get An iPhone “Lite”?
After failing in its very vocal bid to woo the iPhone out of AT&T, not all seems finished for Verizon. If BusinessWeek’s two sources has it right, the mobile carrier will be getting a couple of Apple hardware after all.
According to the magazine, Verizon could be carrying both an iPhone “lite” and a (4G???) connected [...]
HTC Touch Diamond 2 Review
HTC continually puts out some of the best smartphones in the market today. The HTC Touch Diamond 2 is no different and, in my opinion, puts up the best fight against the iPhone’s market dominance in terms of pure phone features.
It’s undeniably HTC’s best handset to date and, despite coming out just a year after [...]
Jog Game Controller For The Wii Review
There’s an increasing number of exercise peripherals being released for the Wii and the Jog is easily one of my favorites. I’ve taken note of this device since it was first announced, mostly because it wasn’t tied to a specific exercise game, the way most of the other fitness-geared peripherals for the console are. Instead, [...]
Sansa SlotRadio: Good Player, Great Price
Sansa’s SlotRadio is one of the current competitors in the miniature music player field. I’m not sure where the aesthetics of these types of players started but I’ve been seeing more and more of them now. Do note that first ones I saw sporting this square, sub-2-inch frames with small screen were Chinese-brand music [...]
The Pre Is Not Saving Palm, Dead By 2010, Analysts Claim
The online media has been abuzz about the Palm Pre since it first showed at CES back in January. Some pundits, in fact, are touting it to be Palm’s saving grace, the device that will bring them back from the ashes.
It may not be too far off a prediction too. Even though Palm [...]
We Are Hunted Offers A More Realistic Music Chart
Traditional music charts, such as Billboard’s and Rolling Stone’s, depend mainly on two things to put together their rankings: sales and radio airplay. Truth is, people are consuming music in more ways than those two mediums, especially with the internet in tow.
A new music aggregator called We Are Hunted is hoping to change this, providing [...]
Blackberry App World Review
RIM’s Blackberry App World opened its doors early this week and eager Blackberry owners began their onslaught (including curious onlookers like me). I have an older Blackberry (which I don’t really use anymore) and, as it turns out, only devices with trackballs plus the Storm are supported by App World. I borrowed a Blackberry Curve, [...]
Black Hat Europe: Cell Phone Data Not So Secure
At the Black Hat Europe conference this week, a group of researchers are claiming to have found a way to hijack data transmissions going to and from mobile phones. With ever-increasing web-based functions now performed on handsets, such an assertion can mean huge implications on personal data security.
The new vulnerability relies on a protocol used [...]
