11/25/2006,   Ahh – Mario Kart. Who could forget one of the most memorable karting games that was ever produced on a home console with the introduction of Super Mario Kart back in the heydays of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System? Everyone was enthralled by a new gaming genre that captured the imagination, offering more thrills and spills than were available at Nurburgring. Being in the lead is often a short […]

11/21/2006, A bunch of Windows Mobile 5 devices are coming out for Christmas and it’s a good time to have Jean-Baptiste Su from The French News Agency ask Palm’s CEO, Ed Colligan, about how Palm intends to differentiate Treo devices from other Windows Mobile smart phones such as the Motorola Q, the Samsung Blackjack or the T-mobile Dash. Answer: The plan is to build a better interface and to support the […]

11/06/2006, Brando of Hong Kong is well known for its attractive range of gadgets and gizmos, and their USB Flash Drive is certainly one of the more practical offerings of recent times. This 1GB USB Flash Card comes in a simple, clear plastic package with no instructions in particular. That is a non-issue as computers and gizmos won’t be your cup of tea if you actually require specific instructions in plugging in […]

09/08/2006, We just got back from San Francisco where we attended the official U.S launch of the Mio H610. After a first wave hype in March of this year, customers will finally be able to get their hands on the H610 in October. The product is designed to be totally different from previous Mio units like the C310 (review here) because it turns a commodity like a GPS into a more personal device -designed […]

02/14/2006, The Dell 3007WFP 30” wide screen LCD display is one of the most, if not the most awesome, computer monitor on the market. Its native resolution is 2560×1600 which is about 4 Million pixels (4 Megapixel). In monitor real estate, that’s the equivalent to three 1280×1024 pixels 17” displays. The 3007WFP competes directly with Apple’s 30” Cinema Display and has several advantages over it: It has better brightness and contrast, […]

02/02/2006, We’ve received the stylish IPEVO Skype USB Phone that we’ve mentioned previously on Ubergizmo. The unit is juts as we thought it would be: very light (65g) and well designed. T is very easy to configure. Basically, just install the software, then plug the phone. In our case, we tried it on a Power Mac G5 and we conveniently plugged phone to the keyboard USB plug. We quickly tried to […]

02/02/2006, If you want to protect your iPod video without hiding it, this case Rhino-Skin might be what you’re looking for. This case made of aluminum (back) and clear plastic (front), a combination that keeps the overall look of the iPod, but makes it a bit bulkier and heavier. The iPod slides into the case and stays solidly secured in. Note that sometimes it is hard to extract a device from […]

01/24/2006, It is known that snowboarders have been targeted by the consumer electronics industry. We’ve seen helmets with integrated speakers but Kenpo has something much more practical: a Jacket with iPod controls that will let one send commands to the MP3 player without having to remove your gloves or open your jacket. We’ve tried one for a few weeks and here are our thoughts: The jacket by itself is a high […]

01/24/2006, I’ve heard about MSN TV years ago and back then I did not really pay attention because I already had a PC. However, we’ve recently had the opportunity to test MSN TV 2, so we went for it. In a nutshell, MSN TV 2 is a paid online service that is accessible via a simple to use box. It is in fact a simple computer that closer to a cable […]

11/28/2005, As Sony starts to roll the Giga Pack, more people will get the Ceramic White Sony PSP console ans will want to protect it. This case is especially good looking on a white PSP. It will protect the console from scratches and mild shocks which are the main threats in my opinion. However, be careful: if you drop it, the PSP will likely fall on its side where there is little […]

11/22/2005, CNET has done up a review on the latest 1GB Sony Walkman Bean NW-E307. It boasts superior playback time of nearly 47 hours! Other than crystal clear FM reception, no other positives were noted. You can only transfer files via SonicStage which makes things cumbersome. File transfer is slow and sound quality borders on the mediocre. Navigation is made difficult with the single line LCD, while the buttons are not […]

10/19/2005, The recently released Nokia N70 makes for a decent smartphone at the moment, unless you are willing to hold out for the Nokia E70. The screen is crisp, displaying pictures taken with the 2 megapixel camera nicely. Bluetooth 2.0 and a FM radio are included, all for 599 Euro. Unfortunately, the LED flash is rather lame – but hey, nothing’s perfect. [Via Symplification]

09/16/2005, This thin & light from Fujitsu is a good alternative to Sony’s “S” Series. It offers comparable form factor and performance. I think that the Xbrite display from Sony is better however. “The Fujitsu LifeBook S2020 is a basic thin-and-light notebook made for business users looking to take their office on the road at a moment’s notice. This 4.3-pound system isn’t very fast, but it is fine for everyday applications […]
