Swissbit SWISSMEMORY s.beat preview @ TrustedReviews

"The s.beat combines a truly tiny MP3 player with a slightly larger Swiss Army knife, but the whole package still only measures 74 x 22 x 24mm. Like the previous knife models, you get a blade, a pair of scissors and a nail file/screwdriver as well as the MP3 player/memory key."

HEXUS.reviews :: Shuttle XPC SD11G5 Celeron/Pentium-M SFF

"One stumbling block Shuttle faces in marketing the SD11G5 is price. A search of online retailers shows it to retail at around the ?340 mark. That's a lot of wedge to pay for a motherboard, case (albeit a stylish one), and cooler. There's also the lack of relative gaming performance from the onboard graphics. Playing any modern game is an absolute no-no, as far as we're concerned. Shuttle, though, is aiming the SD11G5 at style gurus and those interested in an ultra-quiet, powerful machine. In that respect and if you can put up with the price, it succeeds well."

HIS Crossfire cards hit our labs but no motherboards? @ TweakTown

"Given these details and the lack of forthcoming Crossfire board samples from companies like ASUS, ECS, Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire and Shuttle who we work closely with, some of them have said we most likely won’t see Crossfire board products from them available for sale until the end of the year (best case). Until then we have to wait to see a good and wide choice of Crossfire boards available to buy – right now we are limited and we pay for it literally in exurbanite asking prices (try almost $300 AUD for a Crossfire motherboard) since there is hardly any competition to drive pricing down."

Powercolor X800GT graphics card review @ Xtreme Resources

"ATi has a new trump card for the midstream market. After the X700 line, which came out a little bit too expensive and had trouble to easily compete with the nVidia 6600GT, a new release comes from ATi, the X800GT. Based on the X800 series but featuring a very competitive price, it certainly makes all competition sweat. Powercolor released a very impressive line-up of X800 based mid-stream cards recently and they were nice enough to let us have a sample of the X800GT card for review, so let us take a look at it."

Logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse Review @ Everything USB

"A wireless mouse and gaming? The two terms never went well together, a paradox constantly laughed at by the gaming community at large. Between problems with latency, accuracy, interference, and that pesky sleep mode, the two could never get along. Things have changed significantly over time however, and now Logitech is the first company to release a wireless mouse actually intended for gaming. Could this really be the one mouse to change it all? Read on to see."

palm T|X @ TrustedReviews.com

"Palm has decided to throw a lot at this device, both in terms of software and specifications. So we have both WiFi and Bluetooth - yes, apparently it is possible to get Wi-Fi into a traditional, non-hard drive based palm - something that seemed to be impossible when Riyad reviewed the Tungsten T5. 100MB of memory is available to the user, all of it non-volatile (i.e. you won’t lose any of your installed software or data if the battery runs down completely), the screen can be used in both landscape and portrait modes, and there is plenty of built in software designed to cater for the needs of both professionals and consumers."

Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 (GeForce 6100/nForce 430) @ HWZ

"One of the first few motherboards based on NVIDIA's new IGP chipset is here. The Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 is packed with high-end features you'd usually find in a regular nForce4 Ultra motherboard plus HD audio support as well, but does it perform? Find out here."

The Future Of Cell Phones Article @ Designtechnica

"So your cell phone can take and send pictures, even video. You can text message and download ringtones and games. Maybe you can even watch a little television and do some limited web browsing. But if you're a person who's been using mobile phones for a number of years, you can appreciate just how far they've come since the early days when we carried around bricks in dubiously bright neoprene covers, and simply trying to get a phone and service required the kind of stringent credit checks associated with entry to Fort Knox - or being able to rent a video in the early days."

Radeon X800XL and GeForce 6800GT compared @ Tech-Hounds.com

"The GeForce 6800GT and Radeon X800XL are effectively mainstream cards with the availability of GeForce 7800 and Radeon X1800 series. Thankfully, their prices are moving downward or they're replaced by a much cheaper card. We take a hard, long look at these cards and what they have to offer gamers."

DH Review: Wolfclan FPS Gaming Keyboard V2

"We turn away many companies who offer keyboards for review primarily because most of them are rubbish,I have a nice collection right now mainly from eastern makers which have ended up as bookends.However many of you reading this will already have heard of the Wolf Claw Keyboard as it provesto be a little better thought out than most. Today I'm going to be looking at V2 of this boardand putting it through its paces with a selection of First person shooter games."

Legion Hardware - (Gigabyte 3D Aurora & 3D Galaxy)

"They did this by developing the "Galaxy Liquid Cooling Kit" designed for use with high-end systems. However, developing a high-performance water cooling kit just would not have the same impact without a high-end case to go with it. Therefore, Gigabyte has also designed a new standalone ATX case designed to house their water-cooling kit. This case is known as the 3D Aurora and purely from an appearance point of view, there is nothing else quite like it."
