DVD Video Capture in a Mobile Phone? Awesome idea!

Nokia and Adobe have teamed up for a beautiful beautiful piece of mobile technology.

Combining the mobile brilliance of Nokia, and the software genius of Adobe, the newest Nokia mobile device, the N93, will be packaged with Adobe® Premiere® Elements 2.0. This set up will allow you to transfer captured video to your computer for a number of different functions including editing, formatting, and DVD burning. It is expected to be released in July 2006.

Quality isn't an issue either. This baby features 30 frames a second capture, 3.2 megapixels, and 3x optical zoom. Definately some impressive stats for a mobile phone, for sure. Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition 3.0 is also included in the N93 package. This allows for on the fly editing of your video captures, allowing you to fix up everything while it is fresh in your mind.

"The rapid proliferation of mobile devices like the Nokia N93 have altered the way consumers capture life events. Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 addresses the need to be nimble and gives people fun options to share high-quality video output just as quickly as they shot it, preserving the spontaneity of the experience." - Deborah Whitman, vice president of product management for Digital Imaging at Adobe.

Saphire Radeon X1800GTO Review

New indepth 89 page review for the new Radeon X1800GTO up at Hexus.net.

"For just under £170 where you can find it in stock in the UK the Radeon X1800 GTO is an interesting proposition. On the one hand it's a hot, noisy board that's matched by 7600 GT performance wise, dulling its appeal, while on the other hand it's able to offer higher overall IQ if that's what you covet. Depends how much you crave the best looking pixels since that's where ATI beat NVIDIA these days."

I think this wins the award for the most boring review ever

. Where are all the hot babes guys.

Have a Want for Wifi

Linksys is ramping up their production of 802.11n offerings. Find out what they will have in stores starting next week, as well as what 802.11n even gives to the wireless world.

Linksys is all set to introduce faster Wifi products, basing much of their new line on the IEEE 802.11n standard draft. What this allows is for much higher bandwidth, as well as improved range. The first few offerings from Linksys include the WRT300N Wireless-N Broadband Router and WPC300N Wireless-N Notebook Adapter. The price range is somewhat steep, at $120-$150, but the bandwidth increase is set to be almost double that of the products currently on the market – 100 megabits per second compared to the 802.11 g, clocking in at 54 megabits per second.

The 802.11n standard is backwards compatible with both 802.11b and 802.11g, and there should be quite a few more products coming out from the various vendors throughout the rest of the year. One big feature with this standard is support for home wireless video.

TomTom GO 910 portable GPS system reviewed

You might wish you had sprung for a GPS device before this weekend's little trip to the in-laws, which may or may not have involved two hours of being lost in a pair of cul-de-sacs, but we figured you'd still like to know what you're missing out on. The TomTom GO 910 heads the GO series, and sports a 4-inch widescreen touchscreen, Bluetooth, MP3 playback off of the 20GB hard drive, and extensive iPod integration. Sounds like most of the features function well and as advertised. There's quick and easy rerouting, clear directions which even include street names read aloud via text-to-speech, and an easy to use remote for those backstreet drivers.

The only problem the reviewer had with navigation was an outdated POI database that guided him to a stadium which had been torn down five years prior. The Bluetooth connection offers up traffic and other information over your phone's wireless Internet connection, though, while the phone does have maps for Europe, the US, and Canada, there's no live traffic info for the US yet. The other main caveat with the player is the price.

At $799 you probably afford to pay a man to dress up as a princess and drive you to wherever you need to be, but we're not sure if he would take as kindly to an iPod connector cable.
