Creative Zen Micro Photo 8 GB MP3 Player review

Maxit

If you want to stand out from the crowd, the iPod crowd of course, or you fancy an mp3 player of superior in quality, you should check out the latest Creative Zen Micro Photo 8 GB mp3 player.

It might not be as compact or sleek as an iPod, but regarding price and performance, it might be better. The Zen Micro can hold twice as much data as the iPod Nano, and is still cheaper.

"iPod's are so hip, so sleek, so brilliantly white or ebony black, that Apple has a virtual Mp3 player monopoly. Because of their sexy marketing campaigns and the fact that even your grandparents own one, the iPod has take attention away from some of the smaller, but easily just as good (if not better) Mp3 players that are also out on the market."

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.
