Palm Pre threat pushes Apple into an underwhelming iPhone 3. by Kermit on 2009/6/24 15:12:09 (1684) |
 co-written with Mike Prost
I like the iPhone. I really like it. With all the phones thrown our way I still went out and bought the original iPhone. It has been a game changing device. It has made other cellphone companies work on improving their interfaces and phones - or at the least they outright copy the iPhone.
Unfortunately the 3.0 OS update has all the feel of a rush job. That however is not Apple's biggest sin with this release. Apple has unprecedentedly, and arbitrarily, withheld the best of the new features from iPhone 2G and 3G model owners. The features that are exclusive to the 3GS have been proven to work just fine on all iPhones. In short, evidence strongly suggests that Apple is forcing users to buy an entire new phone in order to get software features that have been proven to run very functionally on existing iPhones. Suggesting that not even Apple thinks the new iPhone 3GS is that big of an upgrade. |

Iomega® eGo™ Portable Hard Drive by Cecilia on 2009/6/17 14:06:03 (600) |
Way back in the early 90's I used an 88MB (5.25" cartridge) SyQuest for transferring large files to an editor I worked with. That was alright for a while but when I needed something larger I went for a one GB Jazz disk. What appealed to me was the smaller size drive and disk but larger capacity .In those days I used my Amiga for all my main graphics work. So I used several Jazz disks as backup. Meaning they were formated for Amiga. Plus, I used another PC formated Jazz disk for transferring files from a Windows system to my Amiga. It all worked quite wonderfully. |

Syabas' Popcorn Hour, the all-in-one media center by Michael on 2009/5/20 13:59:01 (727) |
 Downloading video from the Internet is certainly nothing new, but the abundance and ease of access to high-quality video content has exploded over the past few years. While downloaded video is easily watched on a computer screen, many of us would much rather watch movies and television shows on actual televisions. This has led to the development of any number devices that are able to send video from a computer's hard drive to a television across one's house. The Popcorn Hour A-110 is definitely one of these devices, but it's also quite a bit more. The A-110 can do things that much of its competition cannot, and at a fraction of the price of a full home theater PC. |

Ultimate portable speaker part 1: Soundcast OutCast review by Devin on 2009/4/24 2:25:08 (950) |
 Ever since their introduction in the late 90’s, MP3-player are still alive and kicking. The demand for MP3-player’s and let’s not forget the iPod culture has also created a blooming “ecosystem” of accessories to go along with all those Digital Audio Players (DAP). When it comes down to actually producing the music, there are plenty of impressive earphones/headphones to choose from, like the Shure SE530PTH we recently reviewed. At the other end of the spectrum we have portable speakers, where the less than stellar performance actually seems to be the norm rather than the exception. In the middle of the portable audio scene, come the people at Soundcast with their latest offering: the OutCast! Their solution is done a bit different when compared to your typical portable speaker. They not only use a larger-than-normal unit, housing a an equally large 8” woofer, but they also use four 3” high frequency drivers placed in an uncommon (for portable speakers) omni-directional array. Add the fact that the unit is rechargeable, all-weather and includes a wireless transmitter, there’s no denying that the OutCast is not your typical portable speaker. But the question is, do these features add up to a great portable system? And does it sound equally good? |

Flip Mino HD and Creative Vado HD - HD Video in Your Pocket by Haydn on 2009/3/20 14:54:30 (1494) |
 Many small, pocket-sized video recorders are coming out now since Flip's original (non-HD) Mino became a highly popular item. Many (including Flip's latest model) are starting to include high definition video as well. Traditional home video has been to record with cameras that were about the size of a toaster, recorded to tape or DVD, and measured their weight in pounds - these new contenders measure their weight in ounces, record to internal solid-state flash memory and are about the size of a small cell phone.
The big question about these tiny cameras is - can they really do the job their predecessors did?

The ups and downs of Mac OS X on a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 by Wayne on 2009/3/16 2:17:06 (1526) |
|  I've spent almost a week with my new Dell Mini 9 netbook computer loaded up with Mac OS X 10.5.6. I’m not here to give pictures, and promote how to do it. There are plenty of articles out there for that (see below).
Also, before everyone — and hopefully Apple execs — get upset, somewhere between my youth and today, I’ve become pretty much a staunch supporter of buying and using legitimate software, rather than pirating it like I did rampantly in the 80’s.
For the record, I’m not here to promote doing this, as I agree that the legality of following the articles on the Web for doing so is questionable.
The reason for this article isn’t promotion of “hacking your Dell Mini” but — while admitting it’s certainly possible – unlike most of hackintosh crowd out there, I wanted to share, as well as address some of my great positives, along with my sincere concerns over putting Mac OS X on this thing to make it usable (which I don’t consider Windows to be). |
