Sony PlayStation 3 60GB Console

Product Description:
The PlayStation 3 was first officially announced May 16, 2005, at a press conference prior to the 11th annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.

The design of the machine incorporates many successful standards established by the original PlayStation and the PlayStation 2 both of which led the console markets throughout their respective generations but it also offers some new features that distinguish it from its predecessors as well as its competition.

Fittingly, the central feature of the PS3 is its CPU, the Cell processor, which was codeveloped by IBM, Toshiba, and Sony. The PS3's Cell processor uses seven "Synergistic Processing Elements" (SPEs) plus an eighth for "redundancy," and is designed to dynamically handle multiple operations. Graphics are produced through the RSX GPU, which was codeveloped with Nvidia. The console has 256MB of XDR RAM for use by the CPU, and another 256MB of GDDR3 VRAM for use by the graphics chip.

PlayStation 3 games can be written to DVD or Bluray discs (BDs), the higher density format codeveloped by Sony and Toshiba. Like the PS2, the PS3 is backwardscompatible, and can play both original PlayStation and PS2 games, as well as PS3 games. It can also read and play audio, video, and other files from a variety of contemporary media formats, including CDs, DVDs, and BDs.

The form of the PlayStation 3 console is similar in size but somewhat squatter than that of the PS2. It can be operated in either a horizontal or vertical position. When laid flat, the PS3 console case has a squareish footprint, and its top bows upwards, with a fronttoback arch. This case is a silvery gray plastic, and it has a sleek, Spartan aesthetic, with a only the disc drawer plainly visible along its front. Four USB ports are hidden behind a front panel.

More so than its predecessors, the PlayStation 3 was designed for communication and compatibility with other electronic devices. In addition to its Bluetooth functionalities, the console has Ethernet ports and capacity for a IEEE 802.11 b/g "WiFi" connection.

Internetconnected gamers can access the web, chat with online friends, and even download content, even while playing a game. The console also reads Memory Stick, SD, and Compact Flash memory, creating opportunities for crossplatform file sharing and other communications between the PS3 and the PlayStation Portable.

Cowon Q5W

Like a supermodel who's dressed to the nines but can't carry on an intelligent conversation to save her life, Cowon's Q5W will seduce you with its sexy looks but just as quickly disappoint you with a serious lack of substance.

Cowon's baffling new portable media player, available in 40GB or 60GB models, also costs a fortune ($550 to $800, depending on capacity and add ons), requires incredibly high maintenance (no battery recharging via PC), and weighs 13.4 ounces (light for a supermodel, but heavy for a portable media player). Sure, the device's 5 inch touch screen is large and sharp.

It's ideal for watching movies, browsing photos, or surfing the Web all of which the Q5W does, but none with grace or speed. Something as seemingly simple as finding the music menu is a challenge. Sadly, even the excellent EQ, FM radio, voice recorder, and the included games can't save this glamorous mess.

At close to a pound and measuring 3.5 by 5.5 by 0.8 inches (HWD), the Q5W is positively bulky, and far from pocket friendly. Cowon put two USB connections (one standard, one mini) on the device for loading media, as well as a built in speaker and a microphone.

An I/O port on the bottom panel connects to an A/V out cable (included, but, oddly, not the cable pictured in the manual). There's also a remote that controls many of the device's functions. These inclusions are thoughtful, but the real meat is in the player itself, and boy, is it a pain to use.

Part of the problem here is that, though it's marketed as a personal media player, the Q5W is also trying to be a PDA, and even a GPS device, all at the same time. And this approach isn't very successful.

When I saw that the device runs Windows CE 5.0 essentially a stripped down version of Windows Mobile for phones. It tracked down Sascha Segan, our lead analyst for cell phones and PDAs, and asked him to spend some time playing with the Q5W. His thoughts?

"Cowon probably used Windows CE for ease of development, not ease of use," he said. "Windows CE has a lot of off the shelf components available for developers, so by using this standardized OS, Cowon could bring a flexible media player to market more quickly and cheaply. But Cowon wasn't intending to make it a fully fledged PDA just to leverage the Windows CE marketplace for its own development advantage."

And with the continuous advances in technology, these laptops have become faster, lighter and better performing. But you can be

Gigabyte's second-generation UMPC

Though better known for making mainboards than consumer electronics, Gigabyte's first foray into the UMPC market the U60 was surprisingly competent and incorporated a few innovative features such as split keyboard and GPS or TV tuner expansion slots.

The changes in the new Gigabyte M704 are mostly cosmetic, though the VIA processor has been bumped up to 1.2GHz and its screen has grown from 6.5 to 7 inches, obviating the need to scroll sideways on some Web sites designed for viewing in 1,024-pixel resolution.

Despite the larger display and faster processor, the battery life remains similar to the U60 at around three hours that's rather mediocre considering models like the Everun and Kohjinsha SA1 can go on for a couple more hours.

Ultra Smart F700 phone coming to Asia

Currently available only on the German and U.K. markets, Samsung's Ultra Smart F700 is headed to Malaysia and possibly other Asian countries early next year, according to the company.

We had a brief hands-on with the HSDPA handset and found ourselves liking the touch screen's haptic feedback. Sliding out the QWERTY keyboard, which was aided by a spring-loaded mechanism, was also very smooth and solid.

Adding a dash of style were the square keys with rounded borders that resembled those on the Apple MacBooks. Our only gripe with the unit was with the glossy surface that tended to pick up fingerprints fairly easily.

SAT Genius

We would never cheat on the SAT or any other exam, of course, but if we were of that ilk we might consider taking along one these gadgets and claiming that it's just a standard calculator.

The "Pocket Prep" SAT and ACT tutors from the Princeton Review may not have all the answers one would need, but it should come close if it's doing its job right.

The hand held device, which has a black and white LCD, includes drills "to maximize grammar and essay scores anywhere, anytime."

It does have a calculator, by the way. Granted, 5 by 4 inches might seem a tad large for one, but maybe it's just a really old model that we couldn't afford to replace. But to be doubly safe, perhaps there's a way to smuggle in a "StealthSwitch" for the benefit of those pesky test administrators walking by to snoop at the screen over our shoulders.

Are new Canon SLRs coming in January?

A Swedish Web site, Camera and Bild, has quoted Canon Sweden executive Robert Westin as saying the camera maker plans to launch new products on January 24, a week before the Photo Marketing Association trade show begins. That prediction is about as hard to make as figuring out if General Motors will share news at the Detroit auto show, but it does give us an excuse to venture our suspicions.

My bet (and I'm not alone) is that we'll hear about successors to the entry level EOS Digital Rebel XTi and the full frame EOS 5D. They're the most elderly products in Canon's SLR line, but let me offer some other data, too.

Timing is one indicator. Canon has updated its entry level SLR line roughly once every year and a half. Canon announced in August 2006 the 10.1 mega pixels Rebel XTi, the third generation of Canon's entry level digital SLR line; the the 8.2 mega pixel Digital Rebel XT was in February 2005, and the 6.3-megapixel Digital Rebel announcement was in August 2002.

Marketing gives another clue. For the holiday season, I've been seeing a lot of price cuts on Rebel XTi deals "new low price" and the Rebel XT isn't heavily promoted as a less expensive alternative, indicating that Canon might be combining the usual holiday shopping incentives with some XTi inventory clearance.

Competitiveness is another. Nikon, Canon's top rival, is doing well with its entry level D40 and D40x, analysts have said, and Canon could use a better response. The dynamics of the SLR market, with its interchangeable lenses, means there's an extra value to winning over a first time SLR buyer.

Today's entry level customer might buy compatible lenses from the same company later, and once somebody has lenses there's a strong incentive to stick with the same company again when buying the next SLR body.

My CNET Reviews colleague Lori Grunin goes so far as to predict specifications, a 10 mega pixel sensor, 3 inch LCD, top sensitivity of ISO 1,600, the Digic III image processor, a shooting speed of 4 or 5 frames per second, and a price of $799 including the new image stabilized 18-55mm EF-S lens.

The image stabilized lens is a better response to Sony, Pentax, Panasonic, and Olympus, all of whom build sensor shift stabilization into their SLRs, though not necessarily the low end models, and SLR gear says the lens' updated optics shows "remarkable improvement" over its predecessor.

The 5D is in a more rarified segment of the market where the image sensor is the same size as a full frame of 35mm film entry level Canon cameras and most products from competitors use smaller and less expensive sensors. Until Nikon began selling its $5,000 D3 in recent weeks, nobody else had a full frame SLR on the market.

When Canon announced the 5D in August 2005, it had an initial price of about $3,300, but that's now dropped to about $2,100 today. A lot of people sensibly expect a second generation to join the family soon, and with possible follow ups that have bubbled up including the 5D Mark II and the 7D.

The 5D was lauded for its high image quality, but there's definitely room for improvement in a category that appeals to enthusiasts and professionals looking for a starter or backup camera. As with the Rebel XTi, the 5D uses the older Digic II image processor, but newer Canon SLR the 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III, and 40D use the faster Digic III.

And the 5D could benefit from attention to sturdiness ruggedness the $1,300 40D was the first in that family to get some protection from weather and dust, and the 5D category would benefit from that, too. Noise reduction also has advanced considerably since the introduction of the 5D.

Grunin thinks Canon will hold off until the higher-brow Photokina show in the fall to announce the 5D successor. On the other hand, another SLR honcho from CNET Reviews, Phil Ryan, suggests both the 5D Mark II and 7D names could be correct: "They could make a 5D Mark II and a 7D. In that case, the 7D would probably be the lower-end of the two, per Canon's typical naming conventions."

Mini Camera Concept

Targets of the paparazzi need not worry just yet. This little camera ring is only a concept model for now.

But the way things are going with cameras built into pens and phones packing 5 mega pixels sensors.

This "Canon Snap" proposed by designer David M�nscher could probably become a reality in the not too distant future, with its single button interface and other spycam like features.

And should that happen, stalkers everywhere will rejoice.

Phone makers target the safari set

Maybe they're just freaked out over the iPhone's success, but other handset makers seem to be getting even a little nuttier than usual lately with their designs.

The latest is Motorola, which not only applied the Midas touch to its Razr2 V8 Luxury Edition, but is now making it even more exotic with a faux snakeskin wrapper to complement its 18k and 24k accents, according to BornRich. We're holding out for ostrich.

It's Time for Prada

Here's how to ruin a thing of beauty. Find a Prada phone, one of the most gorgeous handsets we've seen, and attach a scruffy miniature teddy bear to it.

Worse yet, dress the little sap in some tiny Prada label too, then charge nearly $100 for it.

That pretty much sums up this line of phone straps marketed by the design house, as seen on Chip Chick.

And believe it or not, the teddy pictured here actually isn't nearly as hideous as some of the others in the "Mobile Trick Quirinos" line, such as those clad in pink, red, and white.

Why Prada chose to do this, especially after coming out with some lust worthy accessories immediately after launching its phone, is beyond us.

Then again, we've never understood high end designer labels the closest we've ever gotten to them is the new arrivals at Ross.

Samsung r410 QWERTY Phone

MetroPCS isn't exactly known nationwide as a carrier of stylish phones, but it looks like that may be about to change.

It just announced the Samsung r410, which appears to be quite an attractive phone with a full QWERTY keyboard.

Similar to the LG Rumor, it has a regular number keypad on the exterior and a hidden QWERTY keyboard that slides out for easier text messaging.

Other than that, there's not much to talk about in the features department aside from e-mail, instant messaging, a VGA camera, and Bluetooth. It's also not too pricey at $199 before any discounts.

LG Voyager Grabbed The Most Web

It appears the the LG Voyager had a very good November. According to a study conducted by Compete, a Boston based Internet analytics company, the Voyager was the most shopped cell phone during the last month.

While Competes definition of "most shopped" is a tad loose the number of unique visitors to a handset's detail page on a carrier Web site it's still noteworthy that a model only launched in November would beat out even the super hyped Apple iPhone, which won fourth place.

The Voyager also did better than the most shopped handset from November 2006. According to Compete's blog, it attracted 131 percent more visitors than the Samsung SGH-T609 had. (Compete didn't release raw numbers).

After the Voyager, the other Top 10 shopped phones from November were a diverse lot. The Sidekick Slide took the No. 2 spot, followed by (in order) the Samsung SGH-T629, the iPhone, the Sidekick LX, the Sidekick ID, the LG Venus, the Sony Ericsson Z310a, the Sony Ericsson W580i, and the Pantech C150. And in case you're counting carriers, that's four AT&T phones, four T-Mobile handsets, and two Verizon Wireless models. Poor Sprint.

Complete also compiled a list of the most shopped smartphones in November. The iPhone earned the top spot here, which makes much more sense than its number four position (though I'm not sure why Complete included it on both lists).

The remaining top 10 in order where AT&T's Pantech Duo, the RIM BlackBerry Pearl, Verizon's Samsung SCH-i760, AT&T's Motorola Q9h, a refurbished RIM BlackBerry Pearl, the T-Mobile Dash, AT&T's RIM Blackberry Curve 8310, T-Mobile's RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320, and the AT&T 8525.

Helio brightens its YouTube offering

To use the worst of bad plays on words, YouTube has thrown itself into the Ocean, Youth oriented mobile carrier Helio announced Wednesday that it has souped up the YouTube video offerings for its Ocean handset.

Owners of the double keyboard smart phone are now able to upload videos to the Google-owned service more easily, fill in various criteria for them (privacy settings, tags, descriptions, categories) and "geotag" them thanks to the handset's GPS capability.

Additionally, the Ocean YouTube application facilitates access to some of the social networking features previously unavailable to most mobile versions of YouTube rating, commenting, and access to personal videos through a full log in.

The enhanced mobile YouTube is available free of charge on the Ocean, which has a 3G mobile Web connection. It's not the first time that a handset manufacturer has touted YouTube integration Apple's iPhone prominently features a player for the wildly popular video-sharing service, and LG makes a "YouTube phone," the KU990 Viewty.

The new YouTube on the Helio Ocean
But Helio considers its YouTube interface to be a step above the fray, and apparently YouTube's honchos agree. "Helio has taken the mobile YouTube experience to the next level," Chad Hurley, YouTube co-founder and CEO, said in a statement from Helio. "This innovative application offers people even more customization and provides them with instant access to interact with the YouTube community whenever and wherever they go."

Helio, a joint venture between EarthLink and SK Telecom that offers a regularly changing lineup of handsets, apparently has a new phone on the way called the "Mysto." No details on the gadget are available aside from a $150 price tag and a screen shot that appeared in the December issue of hipster fashion magazine Nylon.

But even though Helio continually rolls out new gadgets and high-profile partnership deals like the YouTube application, the company's future is still up in the air. The company has yet to convince the public that its business model can succeed, especially as competitors like Amp'd Mobile have shuttered.

New iPhones, Apple TV for 2008

We had a pretty good idea that a new iPhone would be coming in 2008, but what will it look like?

A report from Goldman Sachs Wednesday spotted by AppleInsider doesn't exactly shed much more light on that subject, but says that Apple is gearing up to deliver two new iPhones next year. The first one sounds like it will be just a storage upgrade with more flash memory in the first half of the year, while the second half of the year should bring the long awaited 3G iPhone, according to the report.

Not one, but two iPhones could be released next year, according to Goldman Sachs.
(Credit: CNET Networks)

Both Apple CEO Steve Jobs and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson have indicated that 2008 is the year for the 3G iPhone, so that's not much of a surprise. An iPhone that could connect to 3G (third generation) data networks would allow for faster download speeds, but Apple has held off on introducing such a model to this point because of concerns over battery life, according to Jobs.

Goldman also thinks that Apple is getting ready to introduce a newer version of Apple TV, which had a disappointing first year. But the report doesn't make much sense it says Apple is going to attach an LCD screen to Apple TV.

Maybe I'm missing something very obvious, and feel free to point it out below, but I just can't fathom why Apple would want to do that. Apple TV's problems have nothing to do with the lack of a display.

Anyway, the report also says that Goldman can't find as much evidence of the long rumored ultraportable notebook that's supposedly on tap for Macworld, saying that "possible design issues" might have delayed that model. Just another day in the Apple rumor business.

HEWLETT PACKARD RELEASES PATCH TO STOP HACKERS

Hewlett Packard � one of the leading manufacturers for laptops � is warning everyone to watch their computers carefully to make sure that nothing is changing. Apparently hackers have gotten into different laptops that were created by HP and have done some serious damage to them.But don�t worry too much. HP is making sure that they take care of their consumers and has released an interim software

INTEL SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR LAPTOPS

Paul Otellini the Chief Executive at Intel stated that through their research they believe that by 2009 laptops will have surpassed desktops in sales.Laptops have much more features and better technology that allows people to get more accomplished and allows them to use it as their portable media system or as their

Chestnut Hill Sound George

The George, Chestnut Hill Sound's new, curiously named audio system for fourth generation Apple iPods and later, costs $549 (direct), and that's if you choose not to accessories it. Sure, it's expensive, but this iPod dock is super capable and puts out unbelievably good sound. If you want to get the best possible sound from your iPod and are willing to pay for it, this high end iPod dock delivers.

The George doesn't come cheap, especially when you factor in its optional upgrades. If you go for wood paneling, say, instead of the stock drab white design, you'll spend $600.

A charging stand for the wireless remote sets you back another $50. The question that remains is whether $650 is a ridiculous price to pay for an iPod sound system when roughly the same amount could buy a very nice stereo receiver and a set of great speakers.

Perhaps, especially when you consider that a receiver can act as a hub for your TV, games, CD, DVD, and your iPod. Yet, for the audiophile, George is worth every penny. It sounds amazing and is incredibly easy to use.

The George's design is its only real drawback. Its speakers are neither upward-angled nor detachable, which is bad news for folks who wish to listen to the system at their desks. That's because the speakers will shoot sound at your chest rather than your ears, unless you like to slouch really low when you listen. Another problem with this setup is that you won't have much separation between speakers for stereo imaging.

The left and right speakers are roughly 6 inches apart, so unless you stand with your nose an inch from the display, you can forget about the concept of a sonic "sweet spot." (The sweet spot is the invisible third point of the equilateral triangle that two symmetrically placed speakers would make with your head.)

In an ideal world, the tweeters should sit at ear level the ideal spot for balanced sound between the speakers and for optimal stereo separation. So, realistically, this is a bookshelf unit and should really be set at ear level.

One last flaw, it is very easy to mute or un-mute your music when removing the remote from the dock. The mute/snooze button is right where your fingers naturally land to grab the control. As far as complaints go, though, that's all it can come up with.

Apple iPod Hi-Fi

It may not be exactly what people were clamoring for at Steve Jobs' most recent media hyp event, but the Apple iPod Hi-Fi ($349 direct) is now part of Apple's steadily growing repertoire of iPod accessories. The one piece three ways combination speaker and iPod dock looks a lot like a center channel speaker from a home theater system, with horizontally set drivers.

Though it costs about $50 more, it can thump, sing, and squeal with a lot more power than the Bose SoundDock, plus it's portable. It's glad Apple included a combination analog and S/PDIF optical digital input, but a video pass through for outputting photos and video to a TV would be convenient.

The tech specs alone are pretty meaty two 80 mm midrange drivers and a 130 mm woofer with dual voice coils, sealed double walled enclosure, separate chambers and front panel isolation for the two midrange drivers, a rated maximum sound pressure level of 108dB (at 1 meter) when it's running on AC power, and a frequency response of 53Hz to 16kHz plus or minus 3dB.

It can run on AC power without a huge brick (thanks to the internal power supply) or on six D batteries, though both of these mean the speaker is pretty heavy, at 14.5 pounds without batteries and 16.7 pounds with alkaline. It measures 6.6 by 17 by 6.9 inches (HWD) perfect for a bookshelf or even a desk.

It has dual integrated handles on either side, so it's easy to move around, but it's definitely not the kind of thing you'd throw in a backpack and take to the beach. The enclosure is a sturdy white resin, and the black speaker grille is easily removable if you want a brighter sound.

The only controls on the speaker itself are two touch sensitive buttons for adjusting the volume. Aside from the power jack, the only port is an auxiliary audio input, which accommodates both 3.5 mm analog cables or S/PDIF optical digital cables (also known as Toslink). The digital input is excellent for getting sound from your computer to the speaker if your desktop PC or external USB sound card has an optical output.

You can also connect an Apple AirPort Express to the speaker using an optical cable, which will let you transmit your music tirelessly and maintain a digital signal until it hits the speaker's on board digital to analog converter. You can also hook up your iPod, dock connector less iPod, or none Apple audio player via a standard 3.5 mm audio cable (use a gold plated one for best conductance). Unfortunately, Apple doesn't include any audio cables with the iPod Hi-Fi, so you'll have to buy your own either from Apple or a third party.

Think Outside BoomTube H201

With a design that lies somewhere between a Thermos and a pipe bomb, the metal encased BoomTube is one of the most rugged portable speaker systems around.

The exterior hasn't changed and the volume knob still goes to 11 but the company modified the power button so that it has to be held down for a few seconds before the unit turns on.

(In the original BoomTube EX, it was too easy to turn the power on inadvertently while carrying the unit around.) The internal rechargeable battery still lasts for around 5 hours of continuous playback.

The company claims it improved the internal wiring of the BoomTube, but when we tested it side by side with the original, we didn't detect any audible differences. In fact, aside from the power button, the only significant enhancements we found had to do with the accessories.

The carrying case is now slightly bigger, so it's not such a tight fit anymore. This should be welcome news to those who tried in vain to squeeze the AC adapter into the old BoomTube case.

The speaker also comes with a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm adapter so you can hook up a music enabled cell phone. Think Outside also has a sense of humor The BoomTube comes with a pair of foam earplugs in a capsule labeled "for your neighbors."

Or use the True Care Silverware Basket Divider and protect your fine silver from scratching. So get out your recipe book, go wild and remember to invite as many friends as you want.

Friedrich ductless Air Conditioner

The M12YF Ductless Split System features a new level of system flexibility and control at your fingertips with the Advanced Inverter Technology. Inverter Technology lets you reach the desired temperature FASTER, maintain it MORE ACCURATELY, and REDUCE energy costs.
