Here is the Samsung Galaxy S review. This phone was first released in 2010 and is a direct competitor of the iPhone. In fact, it looks very much like an iPhone 3GS. This phone is also known as the Captivate (AT&T), Vibrant (T-Mobile USA) or Fascinate (Verizon).

Olympus Pen E-P1 12.3MP DSLR

Category: Digital Cameras - Date: May 20, 2011 - Discussion: No comments

Back in 1959 the Olympus Pen was first released and sold a whopping 17 million units. Now some 50 years later Olympus is releasing a modern version of this legendary camera.

I wanted to review the Pen E-P1 because it was the perfect blend between an SLR and a point and shoot camera. If you’re used to the size and simplicity of a point and shoot camera you can still use the Olympus Pen E-P1. It comes with an auto mode that automatically evaluates the scene so you can get the best shot possible.

HP Touchsmart tm2 Laptop / Tablet

Category: Laptops - Date: May 11, 2011 - Discussion: No comments

I’ve got my hands on a lovely HP Touchsmart tm2t laptop. After the success of the HP Touchsmart desktop series HP decided to take a big leap and try a touchscreen laptop. Their first attempt, the t2z model was a failure, so I wasn’t expecting this one to be that much better. But I was pleasantly surprised with both the ease of use and the performance after I sampled this unit.

Visually the tm2 is stunning with its brushed aluminum finish and riptide design etched in. The screen is 12.1 inches, which makes it much bigger than an iPad but considerably smaller than your standard powerhouse laptop. It’s a good size since it’s small enough to use as a tablet and yet large enough to still be used as your everyday laptop. The screen rotates 180 degrees and lies flat so it converts into a tablet with Windows 7. I’m a big fan of the iPad but could never make it a laptop replacement because of the lack of a keyboard and the lack of the windows operating system.

Dropbox Online Storage Review

Category: Other Gadgets - Date: May 7, 2011 - Discussion: No comments

Dropbox is an online storage system which allows you to keep the same files on multiple computers. As long as you have Dropbox installed on your different computers you will have access to whatever files are in your Dropbox folder. This can be useful if you have a work computer and a laptop at home and wish to keep your files in sync. I’m sure you can imagine storing files to a flash drive and taking that back and forth from work back home can become quite a hassle.

Nokia N8

Category: Cell Phones - Date: April 21, 2011 - Discussion: No comments

Nokia has not had the greatest last couple of years. Their smart phones have consistently failed in a market dominated by companies such as Apple and HTC and their sales have taken a hit because of this. Remarkably though, the Finnish electronics firm are still the world’s biggest selling mobile phone company and outsold their nearest rivals Samsung in the last half of 2010 by 10% of the world market share. This is frightening stuff for Nokia’s rivals as it just means that the company has more time to create the ultimate smart phone as their entry level phones continue to sell in the millions.

This will not last forever though and Nokia has put in place plans for a change in their reputation when it comes to smart phones and the first sign that this plan is being put into place was the release last year of Nokia’s latest high end smart phone the Nokia N8.

Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750

Category: Desktops,Other Gadgets - Date: April 14, 2011 - Discussion: 1 comment

Like many, I’ve got a laptop, a desktop, a tablet and a smartphone. The one I use the least is the desktop. Reason being that it’s not portable. Another reason is all the wires. I mean who wants a monitor, the computer, the keyboard and the mouse, all with wires and power cords everywhere. But wireless products have been available for quite a number of  years already. Now we advance to the next generation in keyboards. Not only wireless, but solar powered as well. Let me introduce you to the Logitech K750 keyboard.
