PS3 Slim Review: A Mixed Bag, But Everyone I Know’s Buying One
The Playstation 3 was a shining example of Sony’s somewhat questionable excesses. Years after the current generation of consoles hit store shelves, the company has finally scaled back, offering a revamped machine at a consumer-friendly price point. At the $300 price point for the 120GB version, the PS3 Slim puts the franchise on equal playing [...]
Guitar Hero 5 Review: Better Than Ever, Eclectic Song Choices
I have to admit. Guitar Hero has long lost its place as a staple on my gaming shelf ever since Rock Band 2 came out. However, the franchise’s latest iteration, Guitar Hero 5, offers exactly what the title needs to win itself back in my favor. Guitar Hero 5, for all intents and purposes, seems [...]
Soundcast Outcast Junior: Terrific-Sounding, Rugged Outdoor Speakers
If you have a large area in your backyard and wish to outfit it with music, the Soundcast Outcast Junior may be worth looking into. Smaller than the full-sized Outcast model, the Junior stands 19.5 inches tall, so it should prove a bit easier to carry around, in case you want to take it along [...]
3D PS3 Shown Off At IFA, Apparently Works
You have, no doubt, heard about Sony’s 3D plans for the Playstation 3. Today, they have the whole thing showing off at a booth at the IFA in Berlin. Being nowhere near Germany, all we can do is live vicariously through other’s accounts – it’s reportedly awesome. The whole thing works, as has been Sony’s [...]
Olympus FE-3010: Great Looks, Super Compact, Torturous Shutter Lag
The Olympus FE-3010 belongs in that ultra-compact class of point-and-shoot cameras. I’ve always been a bit wary of that specific category, largely because a good camera module rarely fits in the smallest package. Everyone who’s ever used a high-megapixel cell phone should know that. A device like the FE-3010 makes sense if you want a [...]
Autograph Makes The Pogo Stylus Useful
Hahaha! Did you laugh at the unfortunate Pogo Stylus accessory for the iPhone too? Well, Ten One, the guys behind the ridiculous peripheral probably heard it. Instead of ditching the product, though, they actually made it useful. Wow. If you don’t remember it, the Pogo is a small stick with conductive foam on the writing [...]
Samsung Jet: Great Multimedia Performance, Awesome Price
The Samsung Jet is arguably one of the best feature phones around. Yep, this high-profile handset isn’t a smartphone, yet packs a hardware suite that can put most handsets in that category to shame. Speed was Samsung’s main battle call for the Jet, as it packs a hefty 800Mhz CPU in the guts. Despite the [...]
Nokia Booklet 3G Specs Are Out, Just A Connected Netbook After All
After last week’s hype about the Nokia Booklet 3G, the “mini-laptop” finally had its specs detailed in an official way. The verdict: it’s just a netbook, alright (and an under-powered one, at that). Touting slim lines and a MacBook-like aluminum unibody, it’s one good-looking piece of hardware. Regardless, hot looks getting priced to the hilt [...]
LG LHB953 Blu-ray HTIB Review: Great Value For Money
Looking for an HTIB system that brings a lot of value for your money. Take a gander at the LG LHB953, which bundles a Blu-ray player with streaming media capabilities and a 5.1-channel surround sound system. While Blu-ray HTIBs didn’t seem to make sense at the start, it sure sounds mighty appealing now. The LHB953 [...]
