    MAINGEAR Quantum Shift workstation eats Adobe CS5 for breakfast

    Posted on April 12, 2010 | No Comments
    Maingear announced their latest today, the Quantum Shift workstation. Designed more for the content developer then the gamer, the Quantum Shift definitely brings the heat. Of course, you customize exactly how much power the Quantum Shift is packing, but it's designed around Nvidia's Quadro FX GPU technology.

    BR-800 digital recorder from BOSS

    Posted on March 24, 2010 | No Comments
    Field recording sessions are fun, but there’s a pretty large gap between the low and high ends of the gear. You either get a handheld stereo recorder, or have to haul a mess of interfaces and preamps with your laptop. But this multi-track recorder from BOSS fills in that gap nicely with a very versatile [...]

    The HD JVC Everio GZ-HM550 lets smartphones control functions via Bluetooth

    Posted on March 19, 2010 | No Comments
    The JVC GZ-HM550 brings a new set of standards to the table. It isn't the 1920 x 1080 recording or 9 MP stills. Nor is it the 32GB internal flash memory with an SD/SDHC card slot playing backup or even the Konica Minolta HD lens. Nope, it's the novel Bluetooth function that might make a full size camcorder relevant again in a smartphone world.

    Don’t get too excited. You just can’t run out and buy one of these Sony Blu-ray players and expect to watch 3D content tonight. Oh no. Not only do the players require a firmware update that’s not expected to later this year to even playback 3D content, but the units do not include the 3D [...]

    Isn't it grand that Blu-ray players keep dropping in price. Like this Samsung BD-P1590. First off, it's a refurb, but you still get a 3-month warrenty on a player that offers so much for the money. I would buy it.

    Apple job posting hints at video option for iPads

    Posted on February 9, 2010 | No Comments
    It's crazy how the slightest little hint of something starts all the rampant speculation about Apple's product development. This is the third clue that the next generation of iPad will have a camera, if not video capability. It certainly explains the stuff that was found in the SDK.

    Posted on December 30, 2009 | No Comments
    E-readers don't always have to be stark slate's of modern art and the Owen E1 E-Book is anything but. You just know by looking at it that it's comfy to use and should fit into more pockets thanks to its rounded edges and smallish 5-inch screen. But it doesn't matter, you probably won't be able to buy it anytime soon.

    Oh boy, here’s the perfect digital photo frame for grandma, grandpa, or anyone else who’s deathly afraid of technology. Aside from the $200 price tag, it’s actually not a bad idea. It’s a digital photo frame with an integrated 4x6 photo scanner.

    Remember when using z's on the end of plural words instead of s's was edgy and revolutionary? Well, apparently no one told Beat Kangz Electronics that that time has passed. Misguided syntax choices aside, Beat Kangz has just announced the release of their new Beat Thang music production system. Not only does it look like something the Covenant would use, it comes in either software form or with its own dedicated hardware.

    Motorola’s shiny XT800 shows off its Android

    Posted on December 15, 2009 | No Comments
    Could this end up being the prettiest Android device to date? We don't want to call it before we have it in our own two hands, but China Telecom's likely entrant from Motorola -- the XT800 -- is looking better than ever in these live action shots unearthed by Chinese site tgbus. What's interesting here is that Moto's reusing the font first seen on the Droid's dock standby screen for a new home screen date / time widget, but the old-school Power Control widget below it has us believing that we're looking at an older Android 2.0 build (or heck, who knows, 1.5 or 1.6). It'll apparently have a 3.7-inch WVGA display with 720p playback and, as we've mentioned before, an HDMI-out for some serious multimedia street cred. It's still unclear whether this is being thrown around internally as the Titanium, Zeppelin, or something else entirely, but whatever -- Verizon, Sprint, bring it on over, alright?

    Just about each and every time we review an Android phone, one of the first questions that shows up in the comments is, “So – how is it at syncing?” The answer to that is a bit complex. If you’re just looking to sync with Google services (like Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.), it’s great. Anything [...]

    Does there need to be an app for that? Pet Acoustics, the music app for pets

    Posted on November 24, 2009 | No Comments
    It stands to reason that a general purpose mobile computing platform, like the iPhone or iPod Touch, will engender a host of special purpose niche applications. Pet Acoustics is one such application: "Pet Acoustics music has been specifically designed for the hearing sensitivities of your pet, both in frequency, volume and rhythm to calm and soothe your pet anytime, anywhere." This $1.99 app includes music for dogs, cats, and horses, and includes a timer feature for scheduled playback.
