HWZ review: Seagate Momentus 40GB (5400RPM)

"The Seagate Momentus 2.5-inch hard disk drive has not made it to the retail stores although Seagate told us that they have already started shipping to notebook manufacturers and OEMs. Thus, we´re unable to provide an accurate pricing but we guess that it´ll probably be priced competitively against other 5400RPM models with the same cache size. Sadly, unlike Hitachi´s Travelstar series which is warranted against defects for three years, the Momentus comes with only a one-year warranty period."

"Gateway´s latest entry into the digital imaging marketplace is theirDV-S20, a 2.1 megapixel digital still and video camera. Gateway callsthe camera "pocket sized" and for good reason. At 4.3 oz it measures 3.5x 2.5 x 1.2 inches and truly does fit in a pocket. The camera recordsstill images in the JPEG format and movies in the MPEG-4 format.
The DV-S20 Pocket Multi-Cam is not intended for super high qualityphotos, prints or videos. If you´re in the market for the best imaging,this is not the device for you. However, this device is quite useful forsomeone who wants to have a still and video camera handy at all times.It´s small, light, and under the right conditions, takes good images andvideos.
