Seagate 4TB GoFlex Review

Seagate made the first 7200 rpm hard drive, the first hard drive with the Fibre Channel interface, the first 15,000 rpm hard drive; and the list goes on and on.  Along with the amount of innovation they’ve brought to the table, they’ve also had some of the highest quality drives as well – consistently ranking higher than comparative drives, and constantly winning various awards from different sources. One feature of this GoFlex drive, is that straight out of the box it can be used on either a PC or a Mac.  No messing around with different drivers and what not – it’s truly plug and play on both systems.

Samsung MV800 Dual View Camera

It builds upon the dual-view line of cameras, but removes the front facing LCD and replaces it with a 3-inch wide flip-out touchscreen display that can be literally be flipped up and shown to those looking into the camera’s lens.  There's a 26-130mm, f.3.3-5.9 5x optical zoom lens, a super-thin built-in flash, and one of those little orange light things that's supposed to help the camera focus in low-light. A 16 megapixel sensor ensures high res photos and HD video capture, all of which is complemented by a 5x optical zoom and dual image stabilization.

GE Power Pro X500 Review

One of the standouts is the X500 bridge camera, which packs 16 megapixels, a 15x optical zoom, an electronic viewfinder, and a lot of manual controls to go along with the usual point and shoot features. It has 2.7 inch LCD. Most bridge cameras fall into the category of “super zoom” though, so that’s a fairly average zoom length. This camera uses four AA batteries instead of a rechargeable battery. The panorama mode works really great. The lens works great for zooms, wide angles, and even macro images.

Sony Ericsson released 16.4MP cameraphone, Cyber-shot S006

Sony Ericsson has released a Cyber-shot phone with a 16.4MP CMOS sensor on the popular Japanese carrier KDDI. Called the Cyber-shot S006, the latest Sony Ericsson phone is definitely attempting to wrest the crown from Nokia N8 – the reigning cameraphone. In the world of digital cameras, it is a long accepted fact that megapixels don’t always mean everything in image quality. The N8’s extra large sensor pixels do help, as well as the 28mm wide angle lens.

10 reasons why the iPad fails to impress

For a device which claims to provide the best internet browsing experience, support for Flash is essential, and yet the iPad shuns Flash. This does more to hurt the iPad than it does Flash. For an internet centric device which boasts of 3G and WiFi connectivity, the lack of suppot for the full and rich interent experience is a blunder. A large sumber of cloud applications rely on Flash, and it is not just restricted to web-video. While shunning Flash from the iPhone might have worked out fine since no one expects a full interent experience on a phone, however when you are buying a device which is supposed to bring the "best web experience" you expect more.

4th Generation iPhone coming this may?

Apple has decided to launch the 4th generation iPhone in May this year. This is a deviation from their standard practice of launching a new iPhone model late June/early July.

D-Link DIR 685 At Rs. 21,000

The D-Link DIR 685 Router is a high-end feature-rich router. It has a smooth finish and a 3.2-inch LCD screen, making it one of the better looking routers in the market.

The D-Link DIR 685 comes with two USB ports for external storage devices and it also has a slot to attach a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive (up to 500 GB) on its rear side. It can also be used as a photo frame although we would have liked a larger screen to better suit that purpose, like the one on the Transcend PF810 Digital Photo Frame. The D-Link DIR 685 is easy to set up, although it takes a long time to start up. The touch screen buttons have a definite delay in the response time. The LCD is crisp and it displays information such as internet speeds. The router provides unique features such as FTP server and file sharing on the network. It even offers Bittorrent downloading capabilities. 

Transcend PF810 Digital Photo Frame

The Transcend PF810 Digital photo frame is one of their largest digital photo frames with an 8-inch screen, however with a rather medioce resolution of 800x600. It offers an internal storage capacity of 2GB, which is plenty for images, and supports a number of storage expansion via SD / SDHC / MMC / MS / CF cards. It can even read images from a pen drive.

The Transcend PF810 Digital Photo Frame has quite a few high end features which add to its price but not as much to the value. For instance, the PF810 features an orientation sensor which will automatically displays the images in their correct orientation based on how the device itself is oriented. While this feature is certainly welcome, it is of doubtful utility in a device which is expected to be kept at a single place for extended periods of time. A manual control for the same might have sufficed for those who do change the orientation only once in a while.
