Palm TX Handheld PDA

December 7, 2007

What? These things are still around? Yes. Apparently even with all of phones out there with the same capabilities as a PDA, Palm still thinks there is a market for the TX. And you know what, there is!

Palm has always had great PDA’s in my opinion. I have always liked their OS over the rest. It’s easier for me to navigate probably because Palm was the first PDA I ever owned.

Now, having a PDA is almost like having a fanny pack. People laugh at you. No, just kidding, but they are becoming very rare.

Think about it. With all of the phones with PDA’s built in, it’s less clunky and more economical to buy something like a Treo.

Now this Palm does have wireless, video playing capability and such but it does not have a hard drive. It only supports SD cards. This just stinks! It would be so much better if a hard drive was included.

Conclusion

If you are a die hard fan of Palm and just have to have a PDA then by all means, this is a great PDA. But, if you are looking for a cool video player/MP3 player then I would go with something like the iPod Touch. It’s a lot better for playing media. It’s not clunky. It’s not slow. The Palm TX is nice for an organizer but that would be where it’s usefulness starts to fade.

Xbox 360 Elite High-Definition Gaming and Entertainment System Review

November 1, 2007

The Xbox 360 Elite is more of an all in one entertainment center than just a gaming console. Although not as feature packed as the Playstation 3, it has some very nice qualities.

The current selection of games are top notch though some would still say there are not enough choices. My thoughts are at $49 - $59 bucks per game, I’ll take quality over quantity any day.

This new model features a HDMI port whereas the older models did not. It can also serve as a Windows Media extender. The online marketplace gives you easy access to purchase mini-games, add-on content, TV shows and High Definition movies.

All of these things are great but, the Xbox 360 Elite still has some issues. They didn’t seem to fix any of the previous complaints of the original Xbox 360. For instance, the Xbox 360 Elite still has the enormous external power supply, Noisy fans, A cheap, crappy DVD player - you still have to buy a bulky external player for HD movies, No Wi-Fi, and only 3 USB ports. It would have really been nice to at least see this model come with an internal HD DVD player.

Conclusion

Even though some issues still exist, this console is the gaming platform of choice for many gamers. Mainly because of the awesome games and the media features. Overall, this console will make a great addition to your world of entertainment.

Apple 16GB iPod Touch Screen Review - MA627LLA

October 31, 2007

The revolutionary technology that made the iPhone a success now hits the iPod! Available in either an 8GB or a 16GB model, the Apple iPod Touch lets you control everything using only flick, tap and pinch gestures with your fingers.

The 3.5 inch widescreen display automatically adjusts whenever the screen is rotated from portrait or landscape and is crystal clear. Perfect for watching movies!

With built in Wi-Fi, you can browse the internet with the pre-installed Safari internet browser, watch YouTube movies, or download music right to your iPod Touch!

It shows music cover art in a 3-D display, has a battery of up to 22hours for music and 5 for video, and it’s only 8mm thin! So, for those on the go, it will fit perfectly in your pocket. Also, it even has a little clear plastic stand that lets you watch videos without having to hold it in your hand.

The only downside we see with this is that old iPod accessories wont work with it but, it’s a new iPod, new form factor. Plus, I’m sure Apple makes a killing on the accessories so why would they want them to be compatible? Also, there is no disk mode just like with the iPhone. Other than that it’s a very cool little piece of hardware.

Conclusion

This is the future of iPod technology. It makes you wonder how you ever used the old iPod’s before. Truly amazing technology with no drawbacks from what I can tell. An awesome product from those guys at Apple. What will they think of next?

Mitsubishi WD-73734 73″ 1080p DLP HDTV Review

October 28, 2007

Overview

6 colors? What? Did we hear that correctly? Yes we did. No more Red, Green, Blue color standard for TV’s, now we have 6! Mitsubishi’s new 6-Color Light Engine. It gives us 80% more color than standard HDTV.

So Whats Under the Hood?

Mitsubishi’s 6-Color Light Engine generates yellow, cyan, and magenta directly, instead of mixing combinations of the current standard of red, green, and blue (RGB) to create them. This allows the 734 Series televisions to display a wider range of brighter colors and whiter whites.

Color 4D Video Noise Reduction, PerfectColor and PerfecTint are also included technology and allow for additional advanced color adjustment. PerfectColor is an exclusive Mitsubishi feature that enables you to adjust the intensity of six independently of each other and separately on each input.

And don’t worry, there are no lack of inputs with 4 HDMI v1.3 inputs. This TV is amazing in every aspect and of course comes with Mitsubishi’s track record of dependable TV’s which should last for many, many years to come.

Buying a Playstation 3 Online - Shopping Guide

October 25, 2007

Overview

With all of the sites that show up in a simple Google search, you can easily become overwhelmed with information quickly. Thats why we wrote this article. You may not know the difference between the different models of Playstation 3’s and thats okay. We are going to take the different models and break it down for you. Then we will show you the best places to buy a Playstation 3 online and even give you price comparison!

The Basics

You have 4 models to choose from. The 20GB model, the 40GB model, the 60GB model and the 80GB model.

Feature List

Features 20 GB 40 GB 60 GB 80 GB
USB 2.0 Ports 4 2 4 4
IEEE 802.11b/g Wi-Fi NO NO YES YES
Flash Card Readers NO NO YES YES
SACD Playback YES NO YES YES
PS2 Compatible Hardware NO Hardware Software
Chrome Trim NO YES YES YES


So, Which one is right for me?

Thats a tough question and one you will have to answer. My personal choice is the 60GB model because I can have WiFi, Flash card readers and I can still play my old Playstation 2 games without having to use software. But, 60GB may not be enough for you, especially if you are going to be downloading games from the Sony network. You may want to go with the 80GB model. It’s totally a choice of how much you are going to use it and what your needs are. Remember, these models are not upgradeable so it’s better to go above what you need than to not have what you need.

Where to Buy - Price Comparison

It’s hard to find the 20GB model now. We have found two places to get them. They are listed below.
