Native Union Moshi Moshi 02 Review

This is a new handset designed like a landline phone for you to use with VoIP or a cell phone to place calls. It has excellent quality and the design is great, even though this new sleek white design does tend to pick up a little more dirt than your usual black rubber phone. The hand set is impeccably smooth and it only includes a single button just to connect your call. The audio quality is also a great perk and the usage and comfort are excellent.

This phone can only work with certain cell phones like the 3G or 3GS iPhones because it has a specific three-ring 3.5mm connection port. To use this device with your VoIP clients on your PC you will have to purchase a separate USB adaptor and cell phone users that don’t have iPhones will also have to invest in an adaptor.

The down side is that while this device is £45 plus you will have to spend extra on the adaptor so you can actually use this device. The device has a very nice and sleek design but it does lack extra features that are usually available with other USB handsets.

It supports for cell phones is quite impressive and versatile, it’s just that the use of adaptors all the time does get quite tiring. This is a must have gadget for a business person with an iPhone otherwise it is hard to imagine what other consumers would want to buy it for.

Ergo4u ergoCloud Review

One of the many problems of sitting at your computer all day is that not every desk is designed to give your arms the support they need. Narrow desks, especially, don’t support your forearms at all, which causes pain and numbness in your arms, hands and wrists.

Ergo4u has been working on solving that problem by creating the ergoCloud. This is basically a padded board that will clip to the front of your desk and support your arms. The curved interior is designed to fit to your body comfortably, at the same time supporting your arms.

It has U-shaped arms designed to fit on most desks, while the ergoCloud sits on top of your desk. Make sure, before you buy the ergoCloud, you measure the position and depth of the bar on your desk, incase it has to be custom built for the same amount of money.

The comfort is very impressive, with the padded top you get all the support you need and it doesn’t get uncomfortable as the day goes on. Not only does it support your forearms but it will also help improve your posture.

A minor set back is that the material it is made of collects dust that doesn’t come off too easily, and eating at your desk is definitely a no unless you are super careful because the product will get quite dirty over time.

This product is perfect for people with big comfortable desks, that let you have enough room on them to push your keyboard and mouse back far enough for the product to be attached.

Lenovo Idea Pad Review

Lenovo is trying to combine the notebook and the stand alone tablet devices. This may look like your standard, and old, 10-inch notebook but once you swivel around its multi touch display it turns into a slate device that you have only dreamed about. A bonus to all of this, the Lenovo is the first to have 1.83 GHz Atom N470 processor.

The design isn’t anything mind blowing. The notebook is noticeably narrower than the standard 10-inch ones, and a little thicker than the standard reading tablets. The tablet, when equipped with the battery, weighs about 2.7 pounds. One of the biggest benefits that is offered with this gadget is its unique convertible form factor that gives you the option to use a full keyboard or a very nice multi touch display.

The 10.1-inch display offers 1024x600 resolution and it is quite simple to navigate around Windows 7 Home Premium with the touch screen. The desktop items are designed big enough so that you can simply use your finger to tap them. A downside is that the gadget doesn’t come with a stylus and so if you want to take advantage of Windows 7 handwriting system one must be purchased separately.

It has pretty typical notebook performances despite its Atom N470 processor and 2GB of RAM. Cell battery was tested and ran up to 3 hours and 12 minutes, but when actually using the system you can get up to about 4 and a half hours of battery life.

HMK 561 Electric Bike

Most electronic bikes are nothing out of the ordinary they look like ordinary bikes but with motorized hubs, a strap-on battery pack, and regenerative breaking capabilities. This bike on the other hand is quite unique, taking home an iF Design Award for its very forward thinking. This bike is not just stylish and totally juiced out, the frame is what adds to its creativity it is composed completely of a conductive carbon fiber weave along the sides of the bike’s body that not only allow the body to pass the motors electrically but they actually are the things that store it, like a jumbo capacitor. You literally have the bike of your dreams when you factor in all the other perks; integrated lights, a hint of the aforesaid regenerative braking at each axle.

The designers at HMK really had their thinking caps on for this one, the carbon fiber frame is highly conductive so the designer uses it as a network for power distribution instead of wires. The power drives the lights and motors in between the rims, but the most unique aspect is its braking. The energy is used to drive a system that actually turns the wheels of the bike using a counter-turning axle instead of the ordinary gears and chains.

This idea may seem far-fetched, yes, but there already is a prototype being built. This bike concept will sit you on a battery and make you look far more attractive than any of the other electronic bikes out there.

HTC Incredible Review

Review for HTC Incredible

Every android fan is anxiously waiting for this phone. This gadget has a half gig of RAM with around 320 MB available and it is equipped with an 8 megapixels camera with dual LED flash, perfect to capture all of your moments, and an interesting feature is the phone’s 1 GHz Snapdragon processing core, which from HTC’s perspective helps save battery life. This gadget is not to be underestimated it is reported to be “blazing fast”.

Measurements are 117.5x58.5x11.9 mm. Unlike the Droid the Incredible does not come with a hardware keyboard, instead its WVGA touch screen display makes it simple to use, along with its optical mouse incorporated at the bottom of the 3.5-inch screen. HTC, with this design, uses soft black and very interesting contours incorporated in a glossy shell. Inside though is where the surprise lies, everything inside the phone including the battery is a fiery shade of red, first seen in the HTC mini. This phone is very hot for the summer and it should be out in April or May.

                      

2010 seems to be the year of the smart phones, and it looks like this one will more than live up to all expectations. This is the newest release of smart phone is a 2.1 software version, so it has many abilities like playing videos super fast. HTC did not announce this phone with its Android so it may have a few more surprises left in store by the time it reaches market.

Motorola Devour Review

Motorola Devour - This well mechanized device may look a bit frumpy at first with its 3.1-inch LCD screen and some overwrought aluminum, but once you get it in your hand it is quite robust. Its assembly consists of extruded aluminum and doesn’t bend or budge in any place. The buttons are nothing too special and the simple power on/off button is located at the top. It does have a voice commander and volume rocker on the right hand side along with a camera button. It has an extremely sensitive optical track pad.

The phone is assembled quite uniquely and the battery charging is one interesting part. The battery is recharged and still provides a way to get to the 8GB bundled microSD card without turning off your phone. The keyboard is average and with fairly well separated keys, even though they are a little too flat.

The new and improved processor is quite fast Qualcomm MSM7627. The phone lets you display all of your Facebook and Twitter updates that can appear on your home screen. It is also equipped with rubber end caps enabling you to drop your phone with not so much panic. The camera is nothing to get too excited about either its 3-megapixel camera doesn’t produce the world’s greatest pictures, they are actually quite grainy. The battery was a plus on this phone and it is able to keep up with all the other smart phones of its generation. The bottom line is that there really is nothing to this phone outside its keyboard and quality build.

AmbienTec’s SolarFold and SolarFan Review

These environmentally friendly devices charge your gadgets and are actually quite interesting. A bonus is you can buy them right now, if you live in Japan! Its called the SolarFold and SolarFan because are actually two different designs both of which incorporate four panels of spherical-based solar cells, that are made up of 1,900 globes each that collect light for charging, which in turn makes them much more flexible, unlike ordinary silicon crystals that cannot be bent, and a lot more durable than the average photovoltaic.

This device is actually quite efficient also it delivers about 2W over USB and in 10 minutes it can charge an Iphone up to make a three minute phone call. You will need more than a few days if you want a full battery! Both of these models are available for around $250, the downside is that the SolarFan is the only one that comes with a tripod so choosing which one you want doesn’t seem so hard!

Both products feature a new folding design making them portable so you can take them anywhere, when folded they can easily fit into your pocket. SolarFold opens like a folding screen and SolarFan, hence the names, opens up like a fan. These devices are the worlds first mobile solar charging systems that utilize light gathering spherical solar cells. The devices are sold as packages that include a carrying case and a USB charger. The devices were displayed at PV Expo 2010 and were released on March 4, 2010.

Courier Digital Journal Review

This “digital journal” is just under an inch thick, weighing just over a pound, and only about as big as a 5x7 picture when it’s closed really reflects the aspect of mobility. Instead of being using Windows 7 this handy device uses Tegra 2 and it runs on the same OS as the Zune HD, Pink, and Windows 7 Mobile Series.

                                        

It has built in handwriting recognition and the interface seems to be constructed around drawing and writing, you can draw with the stylus or use your fingertips. The corresponding web site gives you access to everything you write, all of your blogs can be updated complete with comments. Rumors have it that it has a built in camera, and head phone jack for all of your media playback. E-books, no problem, the Courier will serve as Microsoft’s e-book device letting you download all of your favorite literature.

Its easy enough to use statuses like battery life and wireless signal are displayed across the rim of one of the screens, and it includes an Iphone-like home button. Charging might be done through an inductive pad, similar to the Palm Touchstone charger for Pre.

It has two screens and it lets you interact with the pen or several multi touch finger motions. It also includes some pretty complex graphic themes and various modes and applications. One of the coolest features is that the hinge actually doubles as a pocket to let you hold you would like to move from one page to another.

Averatec’s N1200 Review

This is a new super thin, and extra light 10-inch notebook, it is less than an inch thick and weighs only 2.2 pounds, is available in black or silver. It comes with 1.66 GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU which makes it quicker than older notebooks, a 160 GB hard drive, which includes 1 GB RAM, and a built in 1.3 megapixel webcam and 802.11 Wi-Fi. The system can be programmed with either XP or Windows 7 Starter. Battery life is excellent, the tiny battery can get you up to 3 hours battery life, and you can upgrade for better battery life, 6 hours.

This is the thinnest and lightest notebook that is available on the market today. The N1200 comes in various models to meet the customers specific demands. Engineers at TriGem achieved this design by incorporating various materials and compounds found in pricier slim notebooks. It has cutting edge technology like the ultra-thin backlit LED LCDs screen along with the extra-slim 7mm hard drive, these features enable the notebook to be super slim. Its magnesium-alloy casing and lithium polymer battery cells also help keep the weight down to 2.2 pounds.

It sports a 10.1 inch display with 1,024 x 600 resolution, includes a pair of stereo speakers, two USB ports, an Ethernet port, a VGA out multi-memory card reader, and microphone and headset connections. When launched the note book will run from around $329 to $379 depending on the extra add-ons you would like to add to your notebook.

Samsung Wave Review

Samsung’s newest member to the family is the Wave, and yes the talked up 3.3-inch AMOLED screen is quite something. It has a crystal clear display with details letting you see the individual veins on a leaf and the colors are startling. The phone is slender and very attractive, with sleek swish-shaped buttons and diamond cut out opens for the camera located on the back of the phone. The camera is 5 megapixel and the video camera shoots in HD, and its integrated social network “social hub” lets you connect to everything from Facebook to Twitter in full detail. It’s powered with a 1ghz processor, which allows you to multitask at full speed.

This phone feels great in your hands it has a smooth aluminum body with soft edges and a seamless design. It is also very slim 10mm, making it super light. The color display is phenomenal and animations jump through the screen, the phone is designed to reflect less light making it great for outdoor use.

It also includes a unified inbox, integrated contacts from all of your social networks, and a synchronized calendar. The TouchWiz 3.0 is very clean, unclouded and far less confusing than the previous versions. It comes with and apps store and the UI supports Flash.

Samsung really has made it out to make these Badda phones for everyone, nothing new is really incorporated into this phone but that really isn’t the company’s main focus. Hopefully this phone can keep up with all the other Android phones on the market today.

Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset

The sleek VFrame design is not the only impressive feature on this amazing Bluetooth headset, it is also accompanied by a carrying with a battery for charging on the go. There will be no charging mistake, the headset is firmly held in its case where charging can be done. While not in use the headset can be placed into the case where recharging can be done in between meetings or traveling.
