Mondo Mint Digital Music Station

Here's how the system works. Two traditional stereo shelf speakers connect to an amplifier or iPod dock, which communicates with a second wireless iPod dock that uses 2.4 GHz range RF and proprietary technology to deliver music to the speakers within a range of 100 feet.

Since the wireless dock can't connect to the speakers independently, and since the remote doesn't navigate the content of your iPod (it handles only power, source, and volume controls), the usefulness of the Mint's wireless transmission is questionable.

The wireless dock could be on your desk and the speakers on nearby shelves, but you'd still need to use your iPod to move through tracks, and the wireless listening experience is limited to the distance at which the speakers can be heard, regardless of the 100 foot range.

The 70 watt speakers are wood enclosed, with 4 inch aluminum cone woofers and 1 inch neodymium textile tweeters. They measure 5.6 by 7.0 by 8.9 inches and weigh 5.5 pounds each. An 8 foot speaker cable terminates in banana type connectors to the amplifier, which measures 8.3 by 5.3 by 2.1 inches.

The top of the amp houses an iPod dock in front of that is a control panel. Controls include Power, Mute, iPod, USB, Wireless Audio, Line In, and Volume. The silver design makes the amp look a lot like an Apple TV.

Connectivity options on the rear panel include USB, 3.5mm line in (cable included), antenna (for wireless communication with the dock), left and right speaker connectors, and the power cable connector.

Griffin Evolve Wireless

The unit consists of three pieces the base, which measures 15.7 by 5.1 by 4.7 inches, and the two 5.1 inch square removable speakers. Controls on the base are minimal power and volume, plus a mono or stereo switch.

With a range of up to 100 feet, the cubes can sit in separate rooms playing the same song, but keep in mind that music with a lot of stereo separation (like most pop tunes) can sound strange because you'll be hearing only half the song.

In that case, the mono setting is probably a better option. When both speakers are in the same room, or if the music doesn't have much stereo panning (most folk music, for instance, will have a pretty balanced, centralized mix), keeping the speakers in stereo mode is preferable.

Connectivity on the rear panel allows for aux stereo audio in (analog), composite video out, and S-Video out the latter two both work perfectly to show your iPod's video on a television (remember to turn on the TV-out function in the iPod's Video Settings menu.)

The included remote is as snazzy as the black and chrome clad base and cubes and, unlike many iPod dock controllers, doesn't feel cheap. As with most other iPod docks, though, the remote lacks a screen, so there's no real menu navigation here just play or pause, and skip forward or backward.

There are some nice inclusions on the remote, however the shuffle and repeat buttons, for instance. The EQ button switches to the next internal iPod EQ setting every time you press it fine if you've committed the order of the menu list to memory.

Of course, you can always just choose the setting that sounds best, regardless of what it's called. (In my experience, that setting is "Off".)

Bose SoundDock Portable

The SoundDock Portable produces big sound from a relatively small frame it measures 6.8 by 12.1 by 6.1 inches (HWD) when the docking tray is closed. (When an iPod is docked, the depth expands to 6.94 inches.)

At 5.2 pounds it's no featherweight, and is actually a little heavier than its 4.6 pound, not meant to be portable predecessor. It's not too heavy to carry around the house but on your next vacation? I wouldn't advise it.

While both models are aesthetically pleasing, a flatter, more compact shape would make the SoundDock Portable much easier to pack. Bose added a built in hand grip on the rear panel and a spring loaded, retractable iPod docking tray to make this SoundDock qualify as portable.

The face is all speakers, which are hidden behind a metallic grille. Two touch sensitive flat buttons on the right hand panel control volume they work quickly and smoothly. The rear of the device has a power input, an aux input for listening to tunes from your laptop or none Apple PMP, plus a hand grip that doubles as a port for the bass frequencies.

The silver and white dock (it also comes in silver and black) ships with a rather large and heavy power adapter, the usual array of plastic iPod connection adapters, and a sturdy remote control. The remote is approximately 4 by 1.5 by 0.3 inches, with eight rubber buttons that feel durable a great improvement over the cheap feeling membrane buttons that grace most iPod-dock remotes.

The two vertical rows of buttons consist of power, play or pause, volume up, volume down, playlist backward, playlist forward, skip backward, and skip forward. Its range is satisfying I had little trouble operating the dock from various angles as long as I was pointing the remote in its general direction.

Boston Acoustics TVee Model 2

From this simple setup, Boston Acoustics unleashes a lot of rumble and power. It lacks, however, the wide stereo field (because the left and right channels cannot be moved further from each other) that some music snobs, like me, would want.

Boston Acoustics uses acoustic algorithms in an attempt to widen the stereo field, and the effects are pretty obvious. The aforementioned music snobs probably won't enjoy it, and folks looking for more room filling sound for their movies will likely be pleased.

Because I love my dad's 5.1 channel setup, I'm glad the TVee Model 2 wasn't on the market back then but it's hard to argue with good quality, practically cable free sound. Serious listeners should look elsewhere, but for those who just want to upgrade their TV's integrated sound system without cluttering up the room, this is a smart choice.

The TVee Model 2 comes in a variety of colors (among them Glacier, Rosebud, Pearl Gray, Caramel, Chocolat, and Chili Pepper), as well as the Onyx (all black) of my review unit. The nondescript, oblong sound bar is made to blend in with your flat panel TV it measures 3.8 by 31 by 4 inches, and the subwoofer is 11.5 inches cubed.

The joy of the subwoofer, which has a bass level control knob on the rear panel, is that you simply plug in its power cable and it's ready to work wirelessly. The lack of connected cables means you can place the subwoofer anywhere in the room (and since your ears cannot detect the directional nature of very low frequencies, this works out just fine).

The sound bar's top panel has power, volume, and mute buttons, and the rear features a three-position trim switch for adjusting input levels and the audio input. Both the subwoofer and the bar require power, and the appropriate adapters and cables are provided.

The most disappointing aspect of the TVee Model 2's design is its lack of inputs. There's only one left or right RCA-in. That means you can't, say, have your iPod or laptop plugged into your speakers at the same time your TV or DVD player is, unless you choose to get creative.

Even without trying to connect multiple sources simultaneously, you'd still need to buy a special (3.5mm to RCA) cable out for your iPod. (The TVee Model 2 comes only with an RCA-to-RCA cable). This is a disappointing oversight that requires more work to get the most use from these $400 speakers.

Audioengine 2

The Audioengine 2 is about one third the size of the Audioengine 5 system and is an excellent computer audio upgrade or small room speaker.

Audioengine used the same custom tweeters as the Audioengine 5, matched with newly designed compact Kevlar woofers and then added high performance amplifiers with gold plated speaker connectors.

All this great engineering is wrapped in wood cabinets with a hand polished finish to create a premium quality desktop multimedia speaker system that puts those plastic computer speakers to shame

Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player - Perfect for Campers

Here's the camper's and globe-trekker's dream: The Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player. It is a wind-up MP3 player that features video playback, a photo viewer, an FM radio, a voice recorder, a line input recorder, a text reader, expandable memory, and a flashlight. You can even use it to charge your mobile phone. The Eco Media Player may be overkill for recreational camping, but it's a perfect boredom-buster for globe trekkers or the extreme outdoorsman.

The Eco Media Player has a high-grip, rubberized surface and the trademark winding handle on the back. Winding it steadily for 60 seconds gave over 30 minutes of music, and the battery can also be charged from a USB socket for up to 20 hours' playing time. A selection of connection cables are provided so that you can charge a mobile phone from the device and it has a small, bright torch built into the top.

The media player has a 4.6cm screen, but it's not as bright and clear as some of its rivals. It plays a range of formats including MP3 and WMA as well as MP4 video. A software converter is provided for videos. An SD card slot in the side can be used to boost the player's 2GB of memory.

Audio can be recorded using the Eco Media Player's internal microphone or by connecting the supplied line-in cable to an audio source. There's also an FM radio, which uses the headphone cable as an aerial. The headphones themselves have an unusual design, but are both comfortable and produce better-than-average sound.

Sound quality in general is good with noticeable bass. If you could use a source of portable power and need a well-configured media player, this is the ideal combination gadget.

The Eco Media Player is designed to be used under circumstances where computers and power sources are few and far between. While its fun to think of all kinds of uses for a wind-up MP3 player, more than likely you'll be using the Eco Media Player outdoors.

For the price, the Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player definitely delivers on accessories. Beyond the usual USB cables and earbuds, you also get a handful of cell phone charger adapters.

Basic Specifications:

• Capacity: 1 GB
• Audio formats: MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV
• Storage Type: Flash Memory Cards Supported
• Battery life: 20

HP Pavilion HDX - The Luxury Laptop

This gigantic laptop/desktop hybrid weighs a whopping 15.5 pounds and comes equipped with a 20-inch LCD screen. The lowest-end HP Pavilion HDX configuration goes for $3,000, but you'll definitely want to load it up with an HD DVD drive and an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor for an extra $1,700 or so.

The real stand out design feature on the HP Pavilion HDX is the dual-hinge display. Rather than opening with a single large hinge at the back of the notebook, the 20.1" display swings open with a center-mounted rear hinge and is further adjustable with a second hinge at the back of the display allowing you to position the screen for the perfect viewing angle. The built-in web cam has a high-resolution of 1.3-megapixel but produces excellent video quality.

The 20.1" WSXGA+ display on the HDX is quite impressive to say the least. Both horizontal and vertical viewing angles are excellent, back lighting is even across the entire surface, there is virtually zero light leakage around the edges, and high definition video simply looks stunning on this display.

The full-size keyboard with separate number pad is as roomy as anything you'd connect to a desktop, and it still leaves plenty of space on the keyboard tray to allow for comfortable typing. Above the keyboard sits a row of touch-sensitive buttons, including quick-launch buttons for HP's QuickPlay media software, a toggle for the Wi-Fi antenna, and volume and EQ controls. A remote control, not quite full-size, but larger than the credit-card-size ones found in some laptops, sits in a special cutout to the left of the keyboard. You can use it right there, or pop it out to control Windows Media Center and other media apps.

A basic Webcam, fingerprint reader, and single-tuner TV tuner round out the built-in features. Fingerprint readers are usually found only in business systems, but they can be useful on a consumer system for simply remembering your various log-ins and passwords--more convenience than security.

Some of the disappointments include: it's so big that it's a laptop in name only; overly expensive; HD DVD only--no Blu-ray; Core 2 Extreme CPU offers only slight performance boost; screen can't do 1080p; no DVI port.

In conclusion, HP's massive 20-inch Pavilion HDX is a glorious example of conspicuous consumption--overpriced, overpowered, and overwhelmingly cool.

The Logitech Pure-Fi Elite iPod Speaker Dock

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 Pure-Fi Elite is an all-black affair that caters to owners of like-colored iPods, but white and other rainbow-hued iPods don't clash too badly with the system; they'll just stand out against the black background rather than meld into it.

It includes an easy-to-read LCD-screen backlit control buttons located just below the display. One of the changes Logitech made was to those buttons--in the AudioStation they were touch sensitive, in this model they're standard, pressure-sensitive buttons. the 8-pound system measures 16 inches wide (at the front), 7.25 inches high, and 4.25 inches deep, which makes it shelf-friendly.

Logitech has redesigned the remote for the Pure-Fi and we found the new remote, which has raised, rubberized buttons designed to be easier to use, though it's not intuitive how to get to the bass and treble controls.

We were easily able to connect a standard composite cable (you know, the yellow video cable), but S-Video offers better quality, so you may have to shave down the plug on an S-Video cable to make it fit the connection. It's important to note that while the Pure-Fi Elite's video output works fine with older video iPods, it isn't compatible with the latest generation of video-enabled iPods, including the iPod Touch, the Classic, the new Nano, and the iPhone.

The included power adapter is pretty bulky. We suspect this has something to do with having to power an 80-watt system (that's the number listed in the specs anyway), but just be aware that it isn't all that easy to hide.

Best Ultraportable Laptop: Toshiba Portege R500-S5002

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 has a native resolution of 1,280x800. The R500 had a matte screen, which we generally prefer, but the antiglare coating made for terrible off-angle viewing. There is only an SD card slot, instead of the multifunction card readers found in most laptops. But the main complaint of most users was the lack of a mobile broadband antenna, or even the option for adding one.

While we love the idea of solid state hard drives--less heat, no moving parts, low failure rate--they are still too expensive to be taken seriously, adding $550 for swapping in a 64GB SSD drive. But next to LED backlit displays, the move to solid state hard drives is clearly the next big thing in laptop development.

The Portege R500's battery was especially impressive.

Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.

DELL XPS M1330 � FRESH IN DELL

Dell is always seen as the backward player in terms of design. Dell is never a creator of consumer product design in the main play field of laptop designs and innovations. But there is always an exception that comes as a surprise. Dell, which used to carry the blame of losses in the market due to the design, has revolutionized with the novel creation of Dell XPS M1330 such a pleasant surprise.

DVD Protector

Those people who have Xbox 360 have probably noticed that the DVD's can be scratched by the DVD-ROM of their Xbox. This is a not nice fact but this is what can happen if you move your Xbox when it has the DVD in it. Well there are special protectors made by Zoozen Company and they are very effective in preventing your DVD's from being scratched. This gadget is very small and it will help your DVD's live longer.

Now you can rotate your Xbox in both gaming positions and you will be sure that you will not harm your DVD. The other important feature is that the installation of this gadget does not require taking apart your Xbox so you will have your insurance. Now about the installation. The Zoozen protector gadget includes 3 rubber like pins.

Pins should be placed in the inner side of the optical drive. The installation will take you only 5 minutes even if you are not an expert. This is really easy to install and it helps you save money. Xbox DVD's are not like the computer ones you always need them to run the game you like so it is very important that the DVD can be read any time.

Well, the price of this gadget is very small. You pay only $ 7.5 for the secure use of your DVD's. This is a very good price because you can loose much more if you have bought a $ 40 game and in a few weeks your Xbox cannot read the DVD. So it will help you.

A wooden MP3 player

Almost everybody likes listening to music. At present the variety of MP3 players is so huge that everybody can find exactly what he/she wants. Nevertheless, producers continue to design new devices in order to offer even bigger amount of MP3 players and, consequently, help consumers to choose the ones that perfectly suit their taste.

Gresso company also decided to design something special. Its gadget represents a stylish MP3 player that is made of ebony and gold. According to the information given on Gresso company's site this ebony is 200 years old. Yet, it may be just a "small" exaggeration. But the most important fact is that the price of this device is 6000 USD. The characteristics of this gadget are as simple as possible: equalizer, FM-radio, 1GB of memory and that's it. Thus, the only distinctive feature is its unique excellent design.

Despite the fact that this player looks really great, I don't think that many people will intend to buy it at such a high price. However, some like buying exclusive things in order to emphasize their prosperity and individuality. Most likely this gadget was designed just for that sort of people.

Apple New iPod Touch

If you were expecting anything new from the Apple I must fill you with joy. Finally, the iPhone's family collection was joined by the new iTouch device. So what if your iPhone is filled with all sorts of great stuff? The iPod touch has more.

The iTouch doesn't include a phone, that's why its main feature is the text messaging. The iTouch can be connected to internet via Wi-Fi and that is why Apple added some other 5 applications. The main are Mail, Maps and Stock which start working when connected to internet. The coolest of those is Maps which now integrates with your contacts.

You just have to chose a contact, tap on maps and you will be given travel directions in a few seconds. No, it is not the GPS that helps finding directions. It is the Wi-Fi positioning technology � an interesting way to find the location and chart out the map.

Apple has also made some improvements in the touch screen programs so you could take a better advantage from the Wi-Fi. So don't worry, you will be able to e-mail a picture of you lying under Florida sun to your family and friends.

Iwavecube Personal Mini Microwave

Sometimes people are so busy that they don't manage to have meal, even coffee break. The reason is that they haven't enough time to go to restaurant or to go home and have a dinner. It is not a problem now, because new Iwavecube Personal Mini Microwave appeared.

Its features are not usual. The gadget is very small, so it can be placed anywhere, not occupying a lot of space. It is proved by its measures (10? x 10.5? x 12?) and its weight (12 lbs). The microwave has built-in carry handle, making the device portable. The most important thing is that the gadget still has all the electronic controls and safety features that are needed. It can be plugged into any standard outlet.

More than that this device will help a person to reheat coffee or heat up his or her brown-bag lunch without any energies and downtime. A person can have a meal and return to work quickly without spending a lot of time.

But there is the reversal of the medal, I mean, the gadget's disadvantages. First of all, the Iwavecube Personal Mini Microwave is very small and might not fit in some things. But it is also very expensive for such measures. The microwave costs 129.95 USD. Now it remains only to decide whether the Iwavecube Personal Mini Microwave is the invention you need or not.

In today�s busy world we are rushed daylight to dark. In all the hustle and bustle it is very easy to drop ones laptop, breaking the screen. If this happens there will be a serious decision which will need to be made, replace the screen or purchase a new laptop.A few things to take into consideration are the age of your laptop and whether the warranty is expired.

WHY AREN'T ALL LAPTOPS EQUIPPED WITH STANDARD GPS

As I was standing in line at the local Police Department with my friend while she was waiting to get a traffic accident report, I couldn't help but eavesdrop on the conversation between a police officer and a robbery victim.The victim, a man in his twenties, had been robbed and was talking about his laptop notebook computer that had been lifted from his home during a break and enter crime.

Yet another notebook exposed by Lenovo ThinkPad is R61i, let me give you a brief about the features.� Intel X3100 graphics integrated� Processor features Intel Pentium Dual Core T2330� Intel Chipset of GM965 Express� Widows XP

Palm Treo 755p (Verizon)

Despite its aged design, the 755p still looks good. The 2.3 by 4.4 by 0.8 inch (HWD) rubberized body is comfortable to hold in your hand and against your ear. The new Azure Green color flatters the design, though in most indoor lighting it appears grayish.

At 5.6 ounces, it could stand to lose about an ounce and a half of dead weight. But like the Treo 680, the 755p is still a bit slimmer than 2006 era Treos and lacks the hard plastic external antenna.

It includes a hardware ringer switch and a convenient, automatic keyboard lock two features that belong on every slab smart phone and it's simple to use one handed for basic tasks.

The handset's QWERTY keys are a little cramped compared with those of the Motorola Q9M and the Blackberry 8830.

But it heve always liked Treo keyboards, and found this one just as comfortable as the others. The Treo 755p's standard issue (for Palm OS) 320 by 320 screen is sharp and bright, and it's easy to navigate the OS with the stylus.

In fact, that's an understatement: RIM, Symbian, and Microsoft should all take another look at how well designed Palm OS is, because each one still misses the mark. Like all Treos, the 755p is a good voice phone. Test calls over Verizon's network were clear, loud, and distinct, with some minor reception issues outside.

It landed a particularly windy day for testing and the 755p held up well, although the other party could tell readily that it was outside and heard prominent wind noise. The 755p also sounded bright and punchy in both directions through a Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset albeit with some intermittent dropouts in the connection. The speaker phone is tinny but loud enough to use outdoors.

The latest 755p is equipped with a 312-MHz Marvell processor, 128MB of RAM, and 60MB of free memory for user programs all good enough for fast performance. It runs the now four year old Palm OS 5.4.9 and has all the usual goodies, such as a robust built in organizer with a calendar, an address book, tasks, and memos.

Like all Palm OS Treos, the 755p is a good choice for Mac as well as Windows based PC users thanks to the Palm Desktop native OS X and Windows versions. For e-mail, the 755p hooks into POP and IMAP e-mail accounts using Versa Mail, which needs an update because it still can't display HTML messages or connect to some common Web-based e-mail services.

At least it connects to Exchange for Direct Push e-mail. For document editing, Palm builds in DataViz Documents To Go version 8, a killer office suite. But it's two ticks below the current release and lacks key features such as Office 2007 compatibility and support for tracked changes in Word.

Verizone's LG VX10000 Voyager

Though images have leaked here and there, not much was known about the LG VX10000 from Verizon Wireless. Sure, when open, it looks like the QWERTY-obsessed LG enV, but when closed, it's got way more of a Prada�or dare I say iPhone?�vibe. More details and full gallery after the jump.

I'm excited about this phone, which will probably land in the $250-$300 range when it hits in mid November. It's much more of an engaging piece of technology than the enV ever was (in part thanks to a bigger WQVGA screen). Also, as a touchscreen device, it's closer to iPhone than Chocolate, though it does incorporate some snazzy force feedback. Using flicks and drags, you can scroll through long lists of contacts with your thumb, tap on selected parts of HTML webpages using a thumbnail view and swipe through menus and media playlists easily. OK, it's not Apple�not yet near�but it's a good start.

Since it's a Verizon media powerhouse, it has V Cast Music and Video, plus the new MediaFLO streaming TV (where available). On the sideloading front, it will take MP3s, WMAs and non-DRM AACs. And it supports microSDHC cards up to 8GB.

The Voyager� by LG from Verizon Wireless
The LG Voyager* is the first phone from Verizon Wireless that features a large external touch screen. Packaged in a lateral-clamshell design that hides a full QWERTY keypad, The LG Voyager is exclusive to Verizon Wireless and comes packed with a number of cool features, including a HTML browser for enhanced Internet browsing, full V CAST-capabilities - including V CAST Mobile TV, V CAST Music and the ability to play .mp3, .wma and unprotected .aac files, and V CAST Video. These capabilities, coupled with Verizon Wireless' high-speed wireless broadband network, make downloading music or surfing the Web while on-the-go quick and easy.

Other features mobile multimedia addicts will love include:

SAMSUNG BP - U5500 DVD

SAMSUNG INVITES NEWCOMERS INTO THE WORLD OF HD HOME ENTERTAINMENT WITH NEW DUO HD PLAYER Samsung's BD-UP5500 Offers the Convenience and High Performance of Blu-ray and HD DVD Playback for First-time HD Consumers LAS VEGAS, January 6, 2008. Samsung Electronics, a market leader and award winning innovator in consumer electronics, introduces a new Duo HD disc player offering the ideal solution for those consumers new to the world of HD home entertainment.

In addition to the Blu-ray and HD DVD playback capability found in the CES 2008 Innovation Award Honoree BD-UP5000, the next-generation BD-UP5500 is a fully functioning Blu-ray Bonus View player packaged in a slim and sleek cabinet design. Opening access to both HD formats for a wider consumer audience with this new Duo HD player, Samsung continues its commitment to developing products that make life simpler through its breadth of innovative technologies.

Both the Samsung BD-UP5000 and BD-UP5500 Duo HD Players will be on display at booth 11033 during the International Consumer Electronics Show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, January 7 through 10. "With the excitement surrounding the launch of the BD-UP5000 in 2007, Samsung is equally excited to offer a next generation Duo HD player that gives consumers the convenience of enjoying both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats in one single HD player," said Reid Sullivan, vice president of Digital AV marketing at Samsung Electronics America.

"By supporting the latest interactivity in both formats, both Samsung Duo HD players enhance the experience of watching home movies with access to bonus content, alternative camera angles and behind the scenes footage." Page 2 of 3 BD-UP5500 Duo HD Player Designed to invite both novices and aficionados into a world of vivid HD picture quality, Samsung's BD-UP5500 next generation Duo HD player brings together the streamlined playback of both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats in one easy to navigate device.

The HDMI 1.3 connection allows for expanded color and surround sound through one cable and CEC functionality enables users to effortlessly manage an entire home theater with only one remote. For added convenience, the BD-UP5500 features an easy to read display and direct touch controls. With the latest BD-Java and HD DVD interactivity available, the BD-UP5500 takes movies to new heights with interactive menus, innovative picture in picture settings, and in line bonus content such as alternate camera angles, behind the scenes footage, director commentary and actor interviews.

Additionally, using the BD-UP5500's ethernet connection, users can experience a broad array of immersive viewing options with numerous movies as well as download new firmware to easily upgrade the player's capabilities. For a true, cinema quality experience at home, the BD-UP5500 supports the latest audio decoding. With 7.1-Ch PCM, DTS-HD High Resolution and Master audio, and Dolby TrueHD Bistream output via HDMI 1.3, the BD-UP5500 accurately reproduces every delicate nuance with lifelike precision, just as the directors intended.

For those consumers who still want to enjoy their existing collection of DVDs and CDs, Samsung's BD-UP5500 is also a fully functioning DVD and CD player. The BD-UP5500's minimalist 2.3-inch slim design and simple piano black finish makes it the perfect complement to most HDTVs and will serve as the centerpiece to any media or living room. The BD-UP5500 will be available in the second-half of 2008.

Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS: Entry-Level Elph Gets Image Stabilizer and Five Color Choices

Last year, Canon's entry-level Digital Elph was the 7-megapixel PowerShot SD1000. Priced at $250, it was thin and pretty but not quite a powerhouse. This year, the SD1100 IS adds image stabilization without growing more than a millimeter in thickness, and bumps the sensor up to 8 megapixels.

There are behind-the-scenes improvements too, including motion detection for better low-light handling and spot white balance enhanced by face recognition. But the real selling point here is fashion: the SD1100 IS will come in brown, silver, gold, blue and pink. We're told many dealers will be carrying the full lineup, too, so you won't have to go on a wild goose chase to track down the pink one�hate for you to get stuck with the blue one, but hey, maybe she likes blue

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A LAPTOP

When purchasing a laptop there are so many options for insurance and extended warranty. Selecting the right warranty can seem over whelming, however it doesn�t have to be like this if you have a few tips.First you would want to know exactly what the warranty covers. For instance, does it cover the screen and the entire keyboard, or is it a limited warranty that wont replace the laptop until it

Sony DSC-T300: Sony's Top Line Slim Cam

The T300 is Sony's newest high-end slim camera, with a 10.1MP sensor, a 16:9 3.5 inch screen and a 5x Carl Zeiss 5x zoom (33-165mm). The camera can dynamically switch between five scene modes, trigger the shutter when it detects a smile, face detect with priority for adults and children, search through photos by face, improved focusing at close distance, image stabilization and a high ISO or 3200 for light sensitivity rare on a camera this small. It can output 1080p slideshows to an HDTV. $400. Unfortunately, it does use a Memory StickDuo, and that 3200 ISO rating can't be anything but grainy.

SONY'S CYBER-SHOT DSC-T300 CAMERA COMBINES FUNCTION WITH STYLE SAN DIEGO.Sony is taking the wraps off a new 10.1-megapixel Cyber-shot� DSC-T300 digital camera, featuring a stylish, ultra-compact design and intelligent functionality to help reduce the risk of taking a bad photo.

The new model incorporates Sony's new intelligent scene recognition (iSCN), a technology that allows the camera to analyze shooting conditions and automatically select the optimal settings for the best photo results. In iSCN mode, the camera can automatically detect up to five scenes, and choose the best setting for the situation.

In advanced iSCN mode, the camera will shoot using the user's settings and then will automatically step in and take a second shot with optimized settings. If the camera determines that the user's settings are best, then a second photo is not taken.

"We're aiming to make cameras smarter," said Phil Lubell, director of marketing for digital cameras at Sony Electronics. "The T300 camera shows goes beyond face detection to other functions that help customers capture their best photos automatically."
The unit integrates a wide (16:9), 3.5-inch touch screen Clear Photo LCD PlusTM LCD screen for easy navigation and framing; a Carl Zeiss� 5x optical zoom lens; Super SteadyShot� image stabilization and high sensitivity settings up to ISO3200 to help combat blurry photos; and a powerful Bionz� processing engine.

More Intelligent Features
The camera's updated face detection technology can differentiate between the faces of children and adults. Simply select "child priority" or "adult priority," and the camera will automatically detect up to eight faces in the camera frame, adjusting focus, exposure, white balance and flash for the subjects that matter most.

Lubell said Sony has applied a similar advancement to its "smile shutter" technology, an intelligent camera function that captures smiles automatically by searching for facial movements related to smiles and laughs. Capable of detecting multiple smiles instead of only one, users can apply "child priority" or "adult priority" in smile shutter mode to capture photos only when the intended subjects smile.

New controls on this model include: semi-manual focus, which lets the user set the focus range; improved auto focusing system to cover macro ranges in auto mode; and the addition of Sony's D-Range Optimizer Plus mode that uses a higher image correction algorithm to retrieve more picture detail in bright highlights and dark shadows caused by high-contrast shooting.
Organize and Playback Images in Style

As storage capacities on Memory StickDuo� and Memory Stick PRO Duo media cards increase, Lubell said, options for easily organizing, accessing and playing back photos is more of a priority. The new camera's internal database allows for advanced filtering to later search for photos by date and smile. Images can be viewed in chronological order or displayed in a helpful calendar view, and organized in the camera's "favorites" folder.

To view your images in stunning 1080 HD resolution slide shows, just connect the DSC-T300 camera to a compatible HDTV set. Slide show includes your choice of background music, including up to eight tracks (a total of five minutes in length) you can upload via USB, and use multiple tracks to create longer slideshows set to music.

The DSC-T300 camera replaces the DSC-T200 model. It will be available in red, black and silver in March for about $400. The camera, as well as a range of accessories, can be purchased online at sonystyle.com, at Sony Style� retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), at military base exchanges, and at authorized dealers nationwide.

Fujifilm's Z20fd Slim Cam In Fresh Colors, With Dual Blog Mode

Its face recognition tech catches 10 faces in a scene, and sets exposure. "Beam it" referrers to Fujifilm's IrSimple technology that allows users to share the image wirelessly to friends with an IrSimple compatible device.

RIM BlackBerry 8703e

The BlackBerry 8703e is a great solution for business users who need a powerful messaging hand held that doubles as their primary cell phone. The 8703e, like the 8700g and 8700c that preceded it, is missing some important features, namely multimedia playback, which we'll get to below.

Nonetheless, it's one of the best choices out there for a dedicated e-mail, phone, and Web-browsing smart device.

The 8703e is the last of its breed, it will probably be the last BlackBerry with a track wheel. While we wait for the QWERTY equipped version of the BlackBerry Pearl sometime this year, the 8703e is bargain priced, at just $199 after rebates from Sprint and $249 from Verizon (each with a two years contract).

With a pleasing size and weight, and a quality feel arguably superior to that of the Treo 700p, the 8703e nails the slab form factor. It's thinner, wider, and at 4.7 ounces, a bit lighter than the much loved Palm hand held.

It's also all black, further emphasizing the corporate look. The 8703e gets kudos for its bright, sharp screen and easy to use track wheel. It particularly appreciated the track wheel's positive engagement and accurate feel.

The keyboard is a joy, as much as one of this size could ever hope fo. And it needs to be, e-mail being the primary reason most people get a BlackBerry in the first place.

The 8703e's user interface (UI) might feel strange if you're coming from a Windows Mobile or Palm based hand held. But there are lots of neat touches to guide you. For example, the unit prominently displays your phone number, which is helpful if you're using the BlackBerry for business e-mail and don't have the number memorized.

The UI conveniently shows you a graphic of which key you need to press next in order to complete a task. It also feels fast compared with that of Microsoft Windows Mobile and Palm-based smart phones.

Microsoft Xbox 360 "Falcon"

Is the new Halo 3 Xbox 360 with HDMI the new "Falcon" we've all been waiting for? This would mean a 65nm CPU and no red ring of death after being left on for a few days.

The Best Bluetooth Headset Ever

I've owned more Bluetooth headsets than I can count. First there was the Jabra-200, then the Jabra BT-800, then a couple of Motorolas, then a Nokia HS-11W...anyway, each one had nice features and a few things here and there that kept it from being the "killer" Bluetooth headset.

The Jawbone was designed by Yves Behar (we never heard of him before either) and curves to fit the outline of your face. It can be worn on either ear, and charges via USB and comes with multiple earloops and an AC adapter. So what makes it the best Bluetooth headset ever?

The Jawbone measures ambient noise around you, enhances your voice and adjusts the volume to make every call sound crystal clear. The Jawbone has two microphones and a voice activity sensor and when placed against the cheek it detects and enhances vibrations instead of picking up the sound from your mouth. Not only does the Jawbone eliminate background noise from your call, but as ambient noise changes it also seamlessly adjusts the speaker output so you can hear your caller�s voice better.

It's the best Bluetooth headset I've ever owned and has excellent battery life. I can drive with the windows down and the radio on and still hear everything the person on the other end is saying, and they can hear me just fine. The Jawbone comes in red for the extroverted, black for the introverted, and gray for the undecided.

Nokia N810

The N810, like its predecessors the N800 and N770, isn't a phone. It's a Linux based hand held computer that connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi or with a Bluetooth connection through a mobile phone.

Nokia has finally gotten the form factor right, the N810 is a pleasure to hold and to use. The 2.8 by 5 by 0.55 inches (HWD), 7.9 ounce metallic body feels solid, and the richly colorful 4.1 inch 800 by 480 pixels touch screen slides up to reveal a thumb keypad.

There's a VGA camera built into the side for video calling, and a little stand pops out of the back if you want to prop the N810 up on your desk.

On the top, a lock switch lets you use it as an MP3 player in a coat pocket without worrying about bumping the screen. Overall, it's an attractive, thoughtfully built piece of hardware.

The N810's home screen consists of "widgets," including a Google search box, RSS reader, clock, and Internet radio application that you can move around on the screen, showing the Debian Linux based operating system's attractive transparency effects.

Big icons on the left hand side of the screen let you launch other applications with your fingers. It's a well designed interface, though it isn't quite as simple to navigate as its direct rival, Apple iPod touch.

IntroductionThis is a older generation from Toshiba. The machine features a 12-inch screen and a swappable optical drive. This machine is ultra portable and very cheap. Let�s take a closer look what this laptop has to offer us.DesignThe 4.8-pound Portege M400 measures 11.6 inches wide, 9.8 inches deep, and 1.6 inches thick. Even though the machine goes under the category �utltraportable� I still

O2 XDA Zinc

The highly awaited O2 XDA Zinc recently hit the Indian market. A lot is expected from this smart phone, so let�s take a look at how it fared in the tests.

Features
The O2 XDA Zinc is a triband phone, and works with GSM 900, 1800, and 1900 networks. It also supports 3G and the WCDMA 2100 standard however this feature is still not of any use in India For further connectivity there is GPRS class 10, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, and Bluetooth v1.2.

The 2 mega pixels CMOS based camera on the rear of the phone is complemented by a second VGA camera on the front for video conferencing. The main camera has a fixed focus, and thus when you hit the shutter button there is no pre-focus lag. However this also means that all objects that fall in or out of the focal plane will appear blurred.

Since this handset is a smart phone, there is a powerful 520 MHz Intel PXA270 Xscale processor in it. This compares well with all other smart phones up against it in the market. The phone ships with Windows Mobile 5.0, but is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0 via the O2 website.

There is 64 MB of RAM to feed the processor, and 128 MB ROM to store data on the phone itself. The bundled version of Windows Media Player can play MIDI, MP3, WMA, WAV, AMR-NB and AAC files. You can add support for more formats by installing compatible applications. These standard formats can even be used as ring tones on this smart phone.

The phone�s 2.8 inch screen looks nice and has a pretty wide viewing angle. The touch sensitivity is comfortable, and is usable even without the stylus. Web browsing is fun, however Internet Explorer seemed a bit slow when compared to browsers on other phones.

The phone came with a mobile version of MS Office. It was tested by copying Word and Excel files to the phone. The Word files were fully editable and the Excel files worked with all their formulas, calculating cell values in real time.

Build Quality
The XDA Zinc has two speakers to play stereophonic sound, but they are placed next to each other so there is no real benefit while playing a stereo file. The orientation of the display seamlessly changes to landscape as soon as you pull out the keyboard.

The back light QWERTY keyboard feels good for the fingers and the key placement is pretty comfortable, except for the two soft keys on the topmost row that somewhat squash the W, E, U, and I keys.

The main camera on the rear of the phone does not have a lens cover, but is well protected. There is also a self portrait mirror just above the camera, and a strobe flash on the side.

Verdict
Even though the phone has a powerful processor and adequate RAM, it gets bogged down with some applications, for example Web surfing. The phone�s battery gave a standby time of around 100 hrs with heavy usage with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled, and around 180 hrs with normal usage.

This phone has all the components of a powerful communication device but for this price, something close to perfection is expected.

Asus G1 S

If you re a gizmo freak and don�t mind coming across as an attention hogger then you�re going to love the Asus G1S. If you can ignore its bulky form factor while flashing this bling thing, then look no further. This is also your chance to get your hands on the first DirectX 10 gaming laptop.

Features
The G1S has a feature set of such caliber that this baby might fall prey to envious eyes. The Asus G1S is based on the Santa Rosa platform, with an Intel PM965 chipset and it is powered by a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo processor.

This machine also boasts a next generation DX 10 capable Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT GPU. And there�s 2 GB of RAM along with 256 MB of dedicated graphics memory to blast your games on its 1440x900 pixels LCD screen. It also has a sporty looking 1.3 mega pixels web cam.

The storage capacity is pretty decent at 160 GB and for external storage it has a LightScribe capable DVD writer. A PCMCIA slot, a multi card reader, jacks for TV out, FireWire and audio add to its relentless feature set. And that�s not it. In a first for laptops, you�ll also find an eSATA port and an HDMI output on the rear panel.

Build Quality
The loud, polished exterior and the flashy green lights on either side of the lid make it look G. I. Joe. It�s too loud for our taste, but some people will love showing it off. The lights are painfully irritating to look at, but they can be disabled using the in built software.

The keyboard is comfortable to use, and the colored W, A, S, and D keys for FPS gamers compliment the laptop. The glossy finish of the body is impressive, but is susceptible to fingerprints and scratches, which are quite unpleasant to look at.

Unfortunately, the screen tends to shake like a leaf, so basically the hinges aren�t a strong point of the G1S. If you�re in a job that involves field work, then you might want to consider something much lighter.

Performance
As a platform, this one is sufficient for a reasonable level of gaming. Looking at the scores one would realize that 36 fps in FEAR at 1440x900 with 2x AA turned on is commendable, but not enough to wow a hardcore gamer.

Thanks to the generous amount of main memory and the dedicated graphics, this notebook is able to handle the resource hungry Windows Vista along with its Aero visual effects. To top it off, being able to play games in this environment is pretty neat. The overall performance of the Asus G1S is excellent. The G1S scored 4788 in the PCMark test which is commendable for a laptop.

Verdict
If you want a desktop replacement that doubles up as a gaming machine as well, then go for this mean machine. But if you�re a hardcore gamer, you might want something more powerful.
