Its design and proper build quality are not just equally great, but even improved on. The handset comes boxed with a leather case that makes carrying around the device safer, because it does protect it from getting scratched. Aside from it, the box contains a charger, headset, USB cable, hand strap and user guide. One of the qualities of the Nokia E72 that we like best is its dainty design. This is truly appealing business-oriented cell phone that comes with compact size, but emanates reliability.Its display measures 2.4-inches, has QVGA resolution and remains totally useable in direct sunlight, even though the image quality gets rather bad in this case. One of the minor design differences to the Nokia E71 is the integrated optical pad. It features great sensitivity (can be set) and is a fully functional replacement of the standard D-Pad. Still, if you don’t like this particular way of controlling the handset, you can easily turn it off.
The Nokia E72 retains the excellent keyboard of the E71 and we even think the buttons are actually easier to press. They have pronounced, pleasing travel, but unfortunately, their rather small size means you will have to use your fingertips, which in turn disallows faster text entry. The manufacturer has added shortcuts to activate the Bluetooth, silent mode and use the camera flash as flashlight. We do like the altered design of the functional keys and the send and end keys, it makes them easier to use and they look as if made of polished metal.
Around the back of the E72 you`ll find a 5-megapixel camera, supported by an LED flash. There is no dedicated camera key, relying instead on a shortcut button from the homescreen. Thereafter you get pretty average performance, the lack of a real lens soon showing itself. Once you`ve grabbed a photo you can quickly share it using Ovi, Flickr or Vox. Video capture gives you 640 x 480 at 15fps that is not an exceptional quality for sure. Battery life is good however, offering an advantage over its touchscreen contemporaries by giving a couple of days between charges with average use. However, after an intensive day of call, GPS use and browsing, you`ll still need to charge it overnight. If you do plan to abuse the navigation features, you`ll want a charger in your car too.

Delivering 1080p 24fps Full HD images, with support for 7.1 lossless formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, the player has all the trappings of a high-end machine but it comes with pricing that`s more than affordable. The BDP7500 is an impressive-looking machine. It`s made from aluminium, mixes a blue hue in with the black and the buttons are touch-sensitive and illuminated. And when it comes to playback most digital formats are catered for, including DivX Ultra, H.264, VC-1, JPEG and MP3. There`s also a USB hub on the front which is more than handy. As it`s BD-Live, the player has 1GB of internal storage so you can access all the Profile 2.0 content you want without worrying about the need for external storage. The front USB slot, which is nicely hidden behind a sliding flap, is unusually skilled. Choose USB from the deck`s home menu and it presents a comprehensive file system. For not only does the BDP7500 show the native folder structure on the USB stick, but it also intelligently inspects all content and places it under its own music, video and picture headings. MP3 and WMA music files are playable, and video is particularly skilfully dealt with. AVI and DivX files are handled well, with MP4, MPEG, WMV and DivX HD .mkv files all supported. The latter is useful for high-def movie trailers, though most of these can also be found on the various BD Live online portal sites.

After looking at this gadget for the first time you will not be able to resist saying that it is the most stylish HD Media Player on the stands selling like hot cakes. The Beautifully carved shape on the Glossy black body is the key to its featured stylish looks for sure. Features like Power and network access LEDs, connectivity at the rear includes Composite, Component, S-video, HDMI and coaxial S/PDIF audio, along with an Ethernet 10/100/1000 port gives the technical edge also. As a user you will have no problems hooking the device up and it`s nice to see that all the necessary cables are provided in the box, but one area that has been sadly overlooked is the presence of built-in wireless. While you can pick up a compatible USB dongle but this will make you really think this should be supplied as standard, considering the capabilities of modern wireless in successfully streaming HD media over the air. If you have a collection of ripped media formats then this gadget has MKV and WMV9 along with ISO, VOB and IFO support. other than these formats you can have many other less known formats getting played on this right at the first time without any issues which will please you for sure. Some of the few other technical beauty touches include the ability to control music playing in the background while browsing other features via a mini “background music” tool that can be activated at any time. It`s also possible to set up NFS shares over a network, share files using P2P via a Bittorrent client and the supplied remote control, despite having a typically cheap feel, is well laid out and easy to interpret.

The EasyShare S730, which lets users “unplug and share”. The battery powered digital picture frame allows for new ways to enjoy and share digital images. It also features the capacity to store up to 8000 pictures with 1 GB internal memory, Quick Touch Border with touch-sensitive controls, Dynamic collage mode, Picture Finder feature, Plug-and-play operation by just inserting a memory card or USB flash drive, and a 7 inch digital photo display. This provided number of images are much more than the usual frames. This can be seen as an album for long time as Clicking and storing 8000 pictures is not a short term affair. The display has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, which given the size isn`t the highest resolution, but in practise it looks good enough, even at close range and helps keep the price realistic. The finish of the frame is rather good too, the bezel is edged in metal and the front is a single sheet, so it looks like a premium product, rather than a cheap digital gimmick. The options on offer are rather comprehensive, allowing you to customise your slideshow to your liking, bring in the normal calendar options and so on. One feature we like is the dynamic collage, which gives you four images, so there is a variety rather than one picture sliding in and out in a regimental fashion. The frame auto rotates too with the swivel stand on the back making it easy to display your images in landscape or portrait aspects. This also applies to all the display modes, so you can have your collage any way round you like. The battery option brings a new range of possibilities to the frame, giving you a freedom to share that other frames don`t offer. It won`t let it be a standalone frame, but it will help you show off your photos when people come round.

The EH-DM3 is a bit of a bruiser in the looks department. A boxy, glossy black affair, it`s plastered with logos, buttons and air vents on all sides. It`s by no means ugly, and its top-mounted buttons are actually rather welcome considering the likelihood of this portable kit regularly becoming separated from its backlit remote, but it certainly won`t win any style awards. It does however offer ample room for connectivity options. Keeping in mind this could easily stand up as a one-stop DVD projection solution thanks to the built-in DVD drive and speakers, Epson generously include a HDMI port, component, composite, D-Sub PC input, USB for Jpegs and MP3s, digital coaxial audio output, and even mic input for any karaoke fiends out there.
There are some other issues with the EH-DM3`s picture quality. Though the contrast ratio has been beefed-up from 1,200:1 to 3,000:1 since the EH-DM2 model, black levels remain washed out and lacking in clarity. Watching the opening space battle from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, I was hard pressed to pick up any detail at all on even the largest of craft on screen. Unusually enough, this becomes most apparent when using the projector at night time. The 10W stereo speakers are also surprisingly powerful. Though at times harsh, they are loud enough to even negate the jarring distraction of having the audio source come from a different direction than the picture you are viewing. Throw in DivX support and you`ve got a fairly robust portable player here.
The EH-DM3 is packaged nicely, with a foldaway carry handle on one side, as well as a foam-lined bag.

Dark Void delivers a ground breaking combination of fast paced vertical combat mixed with mid-air and on-foot action. Something is consuming our universe, a vast and ancient force almost beyond our comprehension. Millions of years ago, the minions of that power found their way to the 3rd planet of an unremarkable yellow star. Ours. The race they created came to call their masters “The Watchers.” For millennia we knew them as gods and served their dark purposes, but a few humans developed extraordinary powers. They were known as the Adepts and they rose up, banishing The Watchers into a parallel universe, where they`ve manipulated and schemed from afar.
One problem with Dark Void is that it doesn`t quite know what it is. For the first hour or so it`s an uninspired riff on Gears of War with a touch of Uncharted, the main twist being the introduction of a vertical cover system based around ledges and platforms rather than walls and doorways. This actually works well, and it`s easy to pull off high-speed leaps and drops from platform to platform and ledge to ledge. However, with the opening section over, Dark Void goes beyond the conventional third-person shooter by throwing in elements of an old-fashioned arcade combat flight sim, with our hero swooping around with his jetpack battling flying saucers and crawling mobile tanks. You may not find your missions engaging enough to keep you stick the playing screen as they are not very much different from one another. Fast moving alien craft make for some frantic dogfighting, but your foes don`t show much grasp of tactics, and there`s too much of an emphasis on cheap Quick Time Event sequences to finish the invaders off. Dull, dull, dull.

Uncompromised gaming power requires powerful components, and while that`s fine in the roomy environs of a desktop tower, it`s more of a challenge in a notebook chassis. Asus` G60Vx adopts the usual solution to the problem: make the laptop twice as bulky as usual. To be fair, though, it`s nowhere near as big as some of the monsters we`ve seen recently: at just 3.42kg, it`s feather-light in comparison to the 6.1kg Asus W90, and Alienware`s 5.5kg gaming goliath, the M17x.
And where many of Asus`s previous gaming laptops resembled souped-up Golf GTIs – all UV lights and hulking exhausts – the G60Vx ushers in an altogether more understated charm. The glossy white lid shimmers attractively, and stands in stark contrast to the minimalist interior. Matte-black pools around the metallic trackpad, with gloss black engulfing the keyboard surround and screen bezel. It might not be a world-beating partnership, but Asus pairs a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 with an Nvidia GTX 260M graphics chipset to good effect. The kind of person interested in a gaming laptop probably isn`t too concerned with how fast Microsoft Office will run, but the Asus is pretty nippy, as a score of 1.30 in our real-world benchmarks ably demonstrates. Turn your attention to more entertaining pursuits and that Nvidia chip comes into its own. We pitted it against our Crysis benchmarks and it wasn`t until we cranked the resolution to 1,600 x 1,200 with high detail settings that the Asus finally admitted defeat; even then an average of 24fps is close to playable.

The long awaited Apple version of the “tablet” has arrived with the announcement today of the new Apple iPad, set to hit stores in April of this year. Much like a glorified iPod Touch, the Apple iPad sets a bar above and beyond the typical new tablets. Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the new gadget today, explaining that this new launch is an enhanced combination of a smartphone and laptop. Experience this and more on its large Multi-Touch screen, measuring 9.7 inches. With a high resolution, LED-backlit screen, the crisp display allows for an impressive 178 degree viewing angle, with perfect colour and contrast in any light. The touch response has been re-engineered, and the large surface makes it easy to do exactly what you set out to. The bonus of tablet computers is their portability, and the iPad is no exception. At just 1.5 pounds and 0.5 inches thick, it’s easy to take everywhere you go – and we’re sure there are a bevy of slick cases on the way. For those who are always on the go, they’ll appreciate the ten hour battery life and built in 802.11n wireless network, as well as an optional 3G model when Wi-Fi isn’t available. Inside, there is also an enhanced, custom designed A4 chip allowing for extreme productivity – this is combined with your choice of a 16, 32 or 64GB flash storage, for your collection of files, photos, movies, apps and more. Although it seems to be lacking specific connectors (such as a USB), it does include a 30-pin dock connector. And the built-in speakers allows for movie watching and music listening with ease (headphone jack is included). The new iPad can easily run about 140,000 apps available at the app store. It also comes with many of the applications that you already know and love.
Safari: You can make your way around the Internet using your finger. Clicking, pointing, scrolling and zooming has never been easier on the enhanced touch screen.
Mail: Compose, read, delete and send your emails in all of your favourite mail programs. Use two orientations – portrait or landscape – to view and organize your inbox to your liking. Photos: The high resolution, LED-backlit screen lets you see photos in a whole new light. Zoom, edit, email and organize with a new software that makes your iPad into personalized, portable album.
Video: Any kind of movies will make the cut, including television shows and podcasts. The picture completely fills the screen, keeping distractions at bay and letting you enjoy. It also includes a YouTube app, so videos are easy to find and watch.
Your music awaits, organizing your songs by their information. Simply tap to play a song, and listen through the speakers or headset – letting you take your music anywhere. You can also buy your music (or videos) from iTunes right from your iPad.

App Store and iBooks: Keep boredom at bay with about 140,000 apps and loads of new books. The LED-backlit screen display allows for reading in dim lighting, and the loads of choices will keep you busy during long flights, nights in or boring meetings. Five of North America’s largest trade book publishers, including Penguin, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan and Hachette, have signed as head suppliers of the new iBook store.
Calendar and Contacts
Just like on your Mac, Calender and Contacts are easily organized, keeping all your information at the touch of your fingertips. One thing we’re not sure of – but would be ideal – would be easy syncing with your Macbook.
The Environment
We also love the eco-ness of the upcoming iPad, designed with specific features to be earth-friendly. This includes a mercury-free LCD display with arsenic-free display glass, as well as being completely BRF0free and PVC-free. It is also made of a recyclable aluminum and glass enclosure.

The Alienware M11x is a thin and light notebook with an 11.6 inch display, an Intel CULV processor, and some seriously powerful graphics capabilities which make the M11x the first budget 11.6 inch laptop that gamers can truly love. And the folks at Hardware Heaven are apparently in love. They’ve published the first review of the M11x that I’ve seen, and they conclude that it’s one of the best products they’ve ever reviewed. This laptop is a bit heavy for an ultraportable, weighing in at 4.5 pounds. And it has the same angular shape as other Alienware laptops, which might be a turnoff for those looking for a sleek machine for use on the go. But here’s where the Alienware M11x stands apart: It can handle 720p and 1080p HD video playback, and it can handle 3D video games at 720p resolutions.It also has a backlit keyboard, which is rare on a budget ultraportable. The laptop has two graphics processors. For day to day tasks such as web browsing, Intel’s integrated graphics will probably do the trick. But when you want to play games, you can hit Fn+F6 to fire up the NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M GPU without rebooting. It features 1GB of dedicated video memory, DirectX 10.1 support, and Blu-Ray acceleration, among other features.It can handle recent games including Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Dirt 2 without breaking a sweat. With the provided option you’ll sacrifice some battery life if you switch from integrated to dedicated graphics. While you can surf the web for about 5.75 hours with integrated graphics, you’ll get less than 4 hours of HD video playback with the GeForce graphics, and just over 2 hours of gaming time.

The Samsung PS50B550 is one awesome slice of AV joy. The 50-inch screen is perfect for those with rooms dedicated to the art of watching Blu-ray movies and HD telly and nothing else. Picture quality is stunning, but you will need to make sure you’re sitting the correct distance back in order to enjoy the super–detailed pics in all their glory. If you were planning on slapping it above the fireplace in your bedsit, might we suggest plumping for a smaller model. Unsurprisingly, blacks on the Samsung PS50B550 are deep and colours look picture perfect, even in gloomy movies like Doubt. But let’s face it, a depressing trawl through a sinister priest’s life is not what this is about. Stick Die Hard on and you’ll see what this TV was built for. The Samsung PS50B550’s biggest drawer, though, is its extras. Sure the picture is stunning, but that’s expected from a plasma TV. Yes the 18-bit processing makes even the ugliest rugby players look great in hi–def. But the SRS audio and dual 10W speakers mean that if you’re short of cash for a full–on surround system, you needn’t worry.

There are a plentiful four HDMI ports shoved onto the back, which means the Samsung PS50B550 is more than equipped for a couple of consoles and your Sky HD box. The only issue you’ll have is finding another HD source.

Dante’s Inferno is based on the medieval epic poem The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. The dark fiction gave birth to the Tuscan Italian dialect and is widely considered the work that has defined the western world’s contemporary conception of hell and purgatory. The poem tells the tale of Dante who journeys through the twisted, menacing nine circles of hell in pursuit of his beloved Beatrice. Dante’s tortured and tormented world is an ideal setting for this 3rd person action and adventure of a video game, Dante’s Inferno. Written in the 14th Century, The Divine Comedy was published and read aloud in Italian (unlike the Bible), thereby making the poem accessible to the mass public. The poem delivers a striking and allegorical vision of the Christian afterlife and the punishments of hell. In part one, known as Dante’s Inferno, Dante traverses all nine circles of hell; limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. After a fantastic opening with some rip-roaring anime-style cutscenes, Hell grows more and more repetitive, the monsters become less interesting, you lose interest in the upgrades, and it`s only the thought of what new bizarre monstrosity Visceral`s nutjobs will hit you with next that keeps you interested. The visuals have their bad patches, too, and much of the platforming is borderline awful, with rotten camera angles and ridiculous precision jumps from swinging rope to swinging rope that will aggravate you beyond belief. Here`s hoping there`s a special place in Hell for whichever rotten devil put them in there.

Mass Effect 2 is such a big game that, it’s hard to know where to begin. There’s so much new content and so many new features that it can all be a bit overwhelming at times, especially if you’re trying to pitch a review and can’t be sure how much of the first game people have played or still remember. Be warned then that, if you haven`t already done so, you might want to play Mass Effect 1 before venturing into the second game.Mass Effect 2 starts almost immediately after the close of the first game, cutting straight to the action and zooming in on Commander Shepherd as his ship dodges enemy fire.
Saviour of the Galaxy and the first human to be inducted as a secret agent for the Galactic Council, Shepherd is an iconic hero in the Mass Effect universe thanks to his defeat of the Reapers and the Geth in the first game. Intelligent machines that sit beyond the edges of the galaxy and which cull all organic life once every few million years, it took all the might of the military to defeat just one Reaper last time and now Shepherd is searching for a way to defeat the rest of the race before they return in force.Not that Shepherd knew he was chasing the Reapers at the start of the game – he thought he was chasing a rogue Council spy who had some ambiguously evil plan up his sleeve. It wasn`t too long before Shepherd and Co. uncovered the truth of the matter though; that the rogue Saren had been brainwashed by a Reaper which was manipulating him in an attempt to summon the rest of his race. Shepherd`s search for a weapon to use against the Reapers is tragically cut short though when he finds himself spiralling through space and slowly dying. Mass Effect 2 has barely begun – literally the intro cutscene is barely over – and already the adventure seems to be at a close. Shepherd’s death is little more than a chance for Bioware to accelerate the plot forward a little and the action hasn’t really even started yet. Instead of succumbing to the elements, Shepherd is rescued at the last minute by the most unlikely of heroes; Cerberus. A militant and pro-human terrorist group on the absolute fringes of morality, players might have traded lasers with Cerberus in the first game and yet in Mass Effect 2 you end up in their employ. Waking up two years after his supposed death, Shepherd finds that a lot has changed while he’s been asleep (and in near-constant surgery). The Galactic Council has become lost and disillusioned without his constant pestering and even the Alliance has apparently forgotten that the rest of the Reapers are still out there, plotting the annihilation of all. Instead, the events of the first game have been pinned solely on the Geth – who were nought but pawns in the whole thing – and the wider picture is being ignored. Cerberus, eager that all it’s manipulations and plans should not come to waste and that the dominance of humanity should be assured, have coaxed Shepherd back to life with the sole goal of letting him resume his mission. Cerberus’ leader, the mysterious Illusive Man, recognises that Shepherd is the only one who can lead the assault and so asks him to assemble a crack team and start investigating. It seems entire human colonies have been slowly disappearing on the edges of civilisation and, not believing the PR spiel, Shepherd thinks it’s a good place to start. So begins the new adventure, which gives players the dual goal of setting up a team of warriors for you to lead into the final act in the Mass Effect trilogy and of squaring off against the more immediate threat. Those colonies aren’t disappearing on their own, after all. You can infer that from the lack of a forwarding address.

Much like Forza 2, Forza 3 offers a large number of options for the player to let the game cater to their tastes. Traction control, anti-lock brakes, racing/braking lines, and transmissions are all adjustable, and give racing sim greenhorns a chance to learn the basics without instantly hurling their Ferrari into a wall. Experienced racers, though, will probably want to turn all these options off immediately and go straight to Advanced mode, as all the electronic safety nets and traction nannying can be maddening to a player familiar with real racing physics. Forza 3 also adjusts your experience and prize money according to your difficulty level — turn off traction control and racing lines, and your driver level and bank account will grow more quickly. Forza 3 keeps its predecessor`s system of individual car experience, encouraging the player to stick with a single vehicle by upgrading and tuning it to keep it competitive. The player earns discounts on tuning parts and accessories the longer they stick with a single vehicle, and being able to swap out engines, drivetrains and engine aspiration systems goes a long way in keeping even the most pathetic passenger cars competitive. A clever tuner has a lot of tools to work with in Forza 3, and unlike other racing sims, very rarely will they find themselves totally outclassed. Engine upgrades cover gamut from intakes and exhausts, to displacement increases and fuel system re-mappings. But once again, for players not quite as familiar with tuning, the game offers a Quick Tune option that automatically optimizes your car for a race. With the number of racing sims currently available, it takes more than just car and track selection and good physics to stand out. Forza`s online features and its historically large community are its trump card, easily the best in the racing sim genre. The game puts as big a focus on tuning and customizing as it does racing, and there`s an abundance of tools and options for the creative player. Forza 3 actually puts effort into stressing its extra features, and gamers might be surprised to find themselves spending as much time fiddling with vinyl designs, taking photos, making videos and tuning their cars as they are actually racing.

The Pogoplug is the size of large AC adapter. It has Ethernet and USB ports; and instead of using built-in hard drives for storage, you provide your own USB-based drive, such as an external USB hard drive or USB thumb drive. The Pogoplug should be accessible over a network connection by any device with a built-in Web browser; but CloudEngines also offers free client apps for accessing the Pogoplug directly from within Windows XP and Vista (32 and 64-bit), the Mac OS, and Linux (32 and 64-bit–albeit, the Linux versions are presently in beta), where the Pogoplug simply appears as connected drive. CloudEngines even has a free iPhone app for accessing the Pogoplug on your iPhone or iPod touch. Best of all, the Pogoplug sells for only 99–which is a great price for a NAS device–assuming, of course, that you already have a USB drive to attach to it (and don`t also have to purchase a new USB drive).
One feature that you will surely fal for is the ability for it to automatically copy photos, videos, music and other files from your computer to your Pogoplug. The software then automatically syncs those folders when you are connected so you`ve always got a backup copy to share. You can search all the drives at once to find the file you are looking for and the fact that any movie files are automatically dumped in the movie section is a great time saver.With the iPhone and Desktop apps more for accessing content, settings and other options are managed through the simple to use website. Logging in gets you to you`re my.pogoplug.com interface allowing you to manage sharing options and the drives you have got connected.

Carl Fredrickson, a little boy and a dreamer who idolizes the adventurer Charles Munts. When he meets Ellie, who also worships Munts, they become close friends. However Charles Munts falls into disgrace, accused of forging the skeleton of the monster of Paradise Falls. He travels in his blimp to South America to bring the monster back alive but is never seen again. Eventually he Carl grows up and marries Ellie. They promise each other that they would travel together to Paradise Falls and build a house there. Many years later, Ellie dies and Carl, who`s lonely, refuses to move from their house despite the offers of the owner of a construction company. When Carl accidentally hits a worker that damaged his mailbox, he is sentenced to move to a retirement home. However, he uses many balloons to float his house in order to travel to Paradise Falls. Adventure ensues.
The characterisation is admirable too. In other films the urge to go all Al Gore would have made the developers into monstrous bad guys, but here they’re just here to push the plot on. Carl and Russell themselves manage to be human and cartoons at the same time, part caricature, but equally identifiable. It’s the fine balancing of the elements that keeps it on solid ground even when it takes flight.

The Sony Ericsson MW600 is a bluetooth “headset” that streams audiophile-grade audio from your phone or A2DP device. This small AA-battery-sized device incorporates a microphone for voice-activated commands, an AM/FM radio, and a small OLED display. There is no other Bluetooth device on the market quite like the MW600. Essentially, it will turn any pair of standard 3.5mm headphones into Bluetooth headphones, which can make calls and stream music without touching your phone. It can also turn any pair of speakers into Bluetooth speakers, allowing you to control the music. Pairing is simple and quick – when you turn the device on it`ll automatically start searching. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone – or any other A2DP device, and you should spot MW600 in the list of things to connect to. Select it, and you should be paired – it`s that easy. Once you`re paired, plug in your favourite pair of headphones and you`re good to go. A microphone on the device itself will allow you to chat away to anyone on the phone, and you`ll look like you`re an insane person, talking to yourself, when you`re walking down the street. If you`ve got a Sony Ericsson phone, you`ll be able to send song info to the screen of the device, but most smartphones should also allow you to skip tracks and do voice commands too, albeit with a little bit of delay between you pressing the button and it actually carrying out the action. Holding down the play button brings you to a menu where you can also select to listen to AM or FM radio through the device. We found the navigation to be exceptionally fiddly, but it`s something you`ll get used to in time. Just don`t expect to be able to hand it to your mother and expect her to use it off the bat.

The LaCie LaCinema Mini HD is a multimedia hard drive with Wi-Fi connectivity and numerous features. The high definition media center allows owners to watch and store media in full HD with a 500 GB internal hard drive. In order to enhance the experience, the Wi-Fi connectivity allows individuals to stream media from computers and mobile devices, letting them enjoy their personal collection of music and movies. By using Wuala technology, users can also backup their backups without any difficulties. The compact multimedia hard drive also has a HDMI output, a USB socket and has the ability to play DivX, MKV and AVC files. The Mini HD sports the latest standards in HDMI 1.3 and 802.11 b/g/n wireless, and complements this with standard Composite connections, an Ethernet port for wired networking and digital optical out. Een after array of technology into such a small enclosure, the Mini HD isn’t without its faults. Large collections of files, particularly video, can be difficult to browse due to the fact that the “folder” view is simply an amalgamation of all folders that are shared over a network. This isn’t really an issue with audio as the presence of artist/album/genre categories is far more straightforward to manage, but digital photos are similarly tricky to browse when collections reach into the hundreds. The presence of a text search option does make this more manageable, though the supplied remote control is rather basic and omits a numeric keypad, making navigating the on-screen keyboard a laborious task. It is a commendable entry into the streamer market and is extremely well specked for a device of this size.

One For All has launched a powerful new Full HD indoor aerial. The SV9380 aerial is targeted at the owners of the 12 million TV sets that still receive analogue terrestrial broadcasts, as well as offering crystal clear pictures to those who can receive HDTV via Freeview. The first technical transmissions of Freeview HD began in early December and 50% of the country should be covered by the 2010 World Cup.TV reception in the UK is gradually being replaced by a digital signal and by 2012 the analogue signal will be switched off. It will receive terrestrial broadcast high-definition signals, if you happen to live in an area that has them. For UK readers that means you`d need to live within range of a transmitter putting out an HD signal (DVB-T2 or Freeview HD as it will be known) and you have to have a receiver box capable of decoding that HD signal, which are only just starting to appear. Rooftop aerials over ten years old may have corroded, especially in seaside locations, or they may be pointing in the wrong direction. The SV9380 isn`t your typical coat hanger on a pole style of aerial. Instead it is flat, black and plastic and stands on an aluminium base which keeps it vertical . Around the back are the two connections – the coax socket to connect it to your tuner and a power socket. The SV9380 can be powered either by your set top box or the powerpack supplied, depending on your setup. It boasts both signal amplification and interference reduction, aiming to provide a clean clear signal to your TV. With a weak analogue signal you just get progressively worse reception, whereas with digital it may mean you simply can’t watch TV at all – there’s no halfway house of poor digital frequency. The One For All amplified indoor antenna gives perfect reception of Full HD television, DVB-T television and DAB radio.

The Optio I-10 offers a wide range of advanced features, including a high-performance wide-to-telephoto 5X optical zoom lens, approximately 12.1 effective megapixel CCD, high-quality HD movie recording, and upgraded Face Detection function that can detect even the faces of dogs and cats, in a compact body that has the look of a mini-SLR camera. The Optio I-10 features a new-generation Face Detection AF & AE function, which instantly and accurately detects up to 32 faces in the image field, then catches them in sharp focus and in optimum exposure in just 0.03 seconds. In addition to popular features such as the innovative Small Face filter, this upgraded version is programmed to detect not only human faces, but also the faces of dogs and cats. When the user selects pre-registered dog or cat faces (up to three choices), the camera automatically recognizes them and optimizes focus and exposure. The user can even program the camera to automatically release the shutter the moment the subject’s face turns straight toward the camera. These features make it simple and effortless to capture delightful faces of active pets. Despite its compact dimensions, the Optio I-10 features a 5X optical zoom lens, covering focal lengths from 5.1mm to 25.5mm (equivalent to approximately 28mm wide angle to 140mm telephoto in 35mm format). This wide zoom range can easily handle a wide variety of subjects and scenes, from breathtaking landscapes, majestic architecture and group shots in a confined space, to tightly cropped photos shot from a distance. When coupled with the Intelligent and Digital Zoom functions, which allow even tighter zooming in on the subject, the zoom range can be extended to approximately 31.3 times. Above the lens is the flash (rather than to the side) and whether it`s down to the handgrip or the mottled pattern layered over the camera, Pentax has successfully carried off the look they were after. Old meets new has been finely balanced. As for connections, there isn`t HDMI or a dedicated TV out, although a USB cable in the box will allow you to output to a TV via NTSC or PAL. The battery and SD card slot can be found on the bottom. It`s a slide and lock mechanism that won`t give you any problems and should hold up to the test of time.

At first glance the headphones may seems to be smaller than you have imagined, and this may be an issue for some as they are far more likely to simply perch on top of the ear rather than fit snugly over them. Despite this they are quite comfortable due to the soft padded cups and adjustable headband, though they are still prone to slipping during quick head movements. Audio quality is very good however, and though it can occasionally struggle with deep, reverberating bass, it generally does a good job of lighter, punchier notes. Mid-range and high-end tones are handled very well with a variety of music and some modern games, you will also be pleased with their performance and ability to eliminate background noise. Unfortunately they do get quite warm in quite a short time, and you may feel the need to give your ears a break (and a chance to cool down) after just 30 minutes of use.
