Seagate 4TB GoFlex Review

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 07:11:00 +0000

Seagate made the first 7200 rpm hard drive, the first hard drive with the Fibre Channel interface, the first 15,000 rpm hard drive; and the list goes on and on. Along with the amount of innovation they’ve brought to the table, they’ve also had some of the highest quality drives as well – consistently ranking higher than comparative drives, and constantly winning various awards from different sources. One feature of this GoFlex drive, is that straight out of the box it can be used on either a PC or a Mac. No messing around with different drivers and what not – it’s truly plug and play on both systems.

The 4TB GoFlex is USB 3.0, which means the transfer rates are wonderfully fast – however there are a number of adapters out there that will allow you to hook it up to FireWire, eSATA, or even USB 2.0. The included USB 3.0 adapter is pretty cool, as it has four white LEDs on it – each light represents 25% of the storage space on the drive, so you instantly have a rough idea of how much you’ve used. Memo Backup is pre-installed on the drive in order for you to backup your system. Honestly, Memo is pretty much junk – there’s a LOT of better options out there. Memo Backup lets you do basic things for free, but then wants to charge you for any advanced features. In any case, no matter if you use backup software or not, the drive really is quite zippy. When testing it’s write speed, it ran at an average of 88 MBps, and it’s reading speed is a nice 100 MBps.

Samsung MV800 Dual View Camera

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:41:00 +0000

It builds upon the dual-view line of cameras, but removes the front facing LCD and replaces it with a 3-inch wide flip-out touchscreen display that can be literally be flipped up and shown to those looking into the camera’s lens. There's a 26-130mm, f.3.3-5.9 5x optical zoom lens, a super-thin built-in flash, and one of those little orange light things that's supposed to help the camera focus in low-light. A 16 megapixel sensor ensures high res photos and HD video capture, all of which is complemented by a 5x optical zoom and dual image stabilization.

There is also Picture-in-Picture function that lets users place a pic within a pic, a Magic Frame feature that includes 12 background templates, a Smart Filter that lets you add 14 artistic effects, including the newly added Water Paint for a stylish watercolor finish or the Cartoon capability. There's also a power button, shutter release, and zoom slider up top. The display is a capacitive touchscreen. A photo manipulation tool called Funny Face is also part of this point and shoot’s arsenal, allowing you to bend, stretch and manipulate portraits just by tapping or dragging the image with your fingertip. There is one more feature: you can tap and hold a top-level menu icon and drag it around, reordering main menu options to your liking.

GE Power Pro X500 Review

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 08:05:00 +0000

One of the standouts is the X500 bridge camera, which packs 16 megapixels, a 15x optical zoom, an electronic viewfinder, and a lot of manual controls to go along with the usual point and shoot features. It has 2.7 inch LCD. Most bridge cameras fall into the category of “super zoom” though, so that’s a fairly average zoom length. This camera uses four AA batteries instead of a rechargeable battery. The panorama mode works really great. The lens works great for zooms, wide angles, and even macro images.

LG Optimus Pad tablet, 3D mobile smartphone

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 11:34:00 +0000

The 8.9-inch Optimus Pad is an Android Honeycomb-based tablet running an Nvidia dual-core processor.

In creating the Optimus Pad, LG said it wanted a device that provided maximum playability and minimum portability. The company took a swipe at the Apple iPad, saying its 9.7-inch frame was too bulky, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which LG said was a bit too small.
LG said it conducted research and found that 8.9 inches is apparently just right. It is small enough that the user can use it with one hand, but large enough to enable an easy typing experience, the company said.

The Optimus Pad includes a full HD camera in the back to allow for a 1080p experience. The tablet has two 5-megapixel cameras in the rear to allow for 3D video capture. It also has support for HDMI, which allows users to connect the Optimus Tab to other devices, like 3D TVs so users can watch the 3D video they recorded.

Sony Ericsson Anzu Known as Xperia X12

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 13:34:00 +0000

Well, multi-touch input has been promised by Q1 2011 by Sony Ericsson, it’s obvious the company is now going to be putting most of its hopes into its latest Xperia phone, the Xperia X12, thought to be the phone codenamed Anzu. While current images of the Sony Ericsson Anzu device show Android 2.1 onscreen, the latest news is the phone will come with Gingerbread Android 2.3 out of the box when it releases in Q1 2011.

What is also possible is that Sony Ericsson will release the Anzu / X12 with Froyo Android 2.2 out of the box, and offer a Gingerbread Android 2.3 update over the air at a later date. In case you were wondering, the Anzu’s screen is supposedly a 4.3-inch AMOLED LCD that supports 16M colours. The X12 is reputedly a very slim device between 8.7mm and 10.9mm thick , and will feature 720p HD video recording with its rumoured 12MP camera (with Exmor R sensor), HDMI-out, and multi-touch support.

Smallest and lightest digital cameras

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 01:21:00 +0000

Sony has recently launched the new model -the alpha NEX-5 and alpha NEX-3. The authorised dealer for Sony in Nepal, Nepa Hima Trade Link has brought the new models that feature the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens digital camera body.
In terms of specifications, both cameras are essentially identical -the NEX-5 gets a slightly smaller magnesium alloy body, an infrared remote receiver and 1080i AVCHD movie recording, but in every other respect, they are the same. The thing that is immediately apparent about both NEX cameras is how small they are. There is very little to the NEX-5's body beyond the handgrip and the flip-out screen but, despite its small size, it is easy to hold and encourages a stable twohanded grip. One of the only distinctions between the NEX-5 and its less expensive sibling, the NEX-3, is its magnesium alloy construction, which gives a really solid feel. The metalbodied lenses further enhance this sense of quality.

Sony Ericsson released 16.4MP cameraphone, Cyber-shot S006

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 12:20:00 +0000

Sony Ericsson has released a Cyber-shot phone with a 16.4MP CMOS sensor on the popular Japanese carrier KDDI. Called the Cyber-shot S006, the latest Sony Ericsson phone is definitely attempting to wrest the crown from Nokia N8 – the reigning cameraphone. In the world of digital cameras, it is a long accepted fact that megapixels don’t always mean everything in image quality. The N8’s extra large sensor pixels do help, as well as the 28mm wide angle lens.

The Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot S006 has an ISO sensitivity of 12800, a 3.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, FM radio, and inbuilt-GPS. The S006 would be sporting SE’s proprietary OS.

Let the games begin - Maingear F131

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 03:01:00 +0000

Maingear F131 is a high end gaming desktop with a overclocked Core i7 950 chip (overclocked to 4.2GHz), and two Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 graphics cards. The cost of this system is $2,499 and it is lower than what other manufacturers are asking for such components. The gaming performance is nothing out-of-the-box but still very competitive. There are not a lot of games out there that the Maingear F131 will struggle with. There are a few that might challenge the machine but you can always tone down the settings for a good looking and smooth gaming experience. Because of the Intel X58 motherboard and the 3 PCI Express graphics card slots, you can put in another gaming card for getting more gaming eye candy.

There are a few surprises for connectivity as well. You get all standard ports like S/PDIF and analog audio, USB 2.0 and FireWire ports on the back and front of the cabinet. The Asus motherboard gives you two eSATA jacks, out of which one is powered and there is also a pair of USB 3.0 ports. A lot of PC vendors out there are less enthusiastic about USB 3.0 ports because there is not a lot of compatible hardware in the market yet but Maingear has been promoting the new technology very aggressively. This gives you 4 different types of ports for external data inputs. This is really impressive for the given price of the desktop.

Maingear F131 come with one year warranty for the hardware and lifetime warranty for phone coverage and labor. There is also discretionalry third party onsite service and two way free shipping for the first thirty days.

Firefox 4 beta now available for Android and Maemo

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:41:00 +0000

Firefox for mobiles was called Firefox Mobile and was Mozilla was working on version 2. However recently Mozilla decided to synchronize their desktop and mobile offerings with the same name and version number, since they are based on the same technology. Now Mozilla has made the first beta version of this upcoming browser available.
Firefox 4 for mobile will feature Firefox Sync in built. While Firefox 4 for mobile will support extension just as before, the Sync feature is now baked in instead of being separately available as an addon. If you also use Firefox on the desktop, and have tons of bookmarks, and saved passwords this will come in very handy as those will automatically sync with your mobile. Not only that Firefox Sync also synchronizes open tabs, so as you leave your computer and go out with your mobile, you will be able to open the same tabs on your mobile. This feature is made even more useful with the new AwesomeScreen, a screen visible when you tap on the AwesomeBar in the browser. This is similar to what Opera offers with its Link service.

Fierfox 4 also comes with multi-touch goodness, with support for gestures such as pinch-to-zoom. Firefox 4 beta for mobile also includes some architecture changes for the mobile browser. It now works even more closely to the desktop version. A new feature called electrolysis is now available which makes for a much more responsive browser by running the browser chrome and the content in different threads. Layers, another new feature in Firefox 4, will improve the graphics performance of the browser. Firefox 4 beta for mobile certainly sounds amazing, however apparently it is currently too slow to be a usable browser. The browser is very much in its beta stage right now, so performance should get better with time.

Samsung to challenge Apple's iPad

noreply@blogger.com (Prajanya Paudel) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:06:00 +0000

Samsung Electronics’ first tablet computer, the Galaxy Tab, will go on sale in two weeks, it said on Thursday, turning up the heat on Apple Inc’s iPad.

Global handset vendors and PC makers including Nokia, LG Electronics and Hewlett-Packard Co are moving into the new category of devices, between traditional PCs and smartphones, taking a cue from Apple.

The Galaxy Tab, with a seveninch screen, will go on sale in Eu ropean markets in mid-September. The device, which uses Google’s Android software, offers access to books, films and music.

“Samsung is betting big on the tablet category with this device,” said Ben Wood, research director at CCS Insight, adding the success of Galaxy Tab with a 9.7 inch screen, which is clearly smaller than iPad, will depend on pricing.

Samsung’s portfolio management director Thomas Richter said prices would depend on operator packages in different countries, but the device would cost more than high-end smartphones. In Finland, the suggested retail price for Galaxy Tab, without subsidies, would be 949 Euros (USD 1,214), well above the iPad’s price. Apple’s 32 GB iPad sells for 864 Euros on average in Finland.
