Nokia 5300 Xpress Music
Almost everyone who has a good mobile phone enjoys listening to music on their one. Nokia took a bit of a chance by getting involved in the slider craze, but they seem to have done ok.
Design isn’t revolutionary, it’s even a bit bulky, measuring 3.6 by 1.9 by 0.8 inches but it’s very light (3.6 ounces). It also features a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and an expandable memory slot. The display measures 320×240 pixels and [...]
Nikon S50c
Nikon follows up its S7c and S9 with the S50c and the S50. Available only in silver, the digital camera looks ok. ISO ratings of 1600, for low light shooting, 3-inch LCDs are features that might make it seem like an excellent choice. This WiFi enabled S50c is able to email shots and it provides [...]

It’s the first to run Windows Mobile 5 operating system. The 3.7-inch screen [...]

Sony Handycam HDR-HC3
It’s pretty hard to see any major flaws in the Sony Handycam HDR-HC3, and pretty easy to see many advantages, compared to the other sony handycams. It lacks a microphone jack and it also has no 24p support. That’s about it for the downsides.
The upsides are much more numerous. It’s cheaper, price being $1099.99. It’s also a bit smaller, the [...]

O’hEocha Audiophile’s Speakers
This two piece set looks outta this world, looking more like alien spaceships rather than audio
speakers. The shell is made of aluminum and steel; that makes it more solid and reduces the vibration. The 11-inch subwoofer in each satellite is directed downwards, maximizing the power and not transfering too much distortion to the ground; the mid-range drivers are lifted above the subwoofers, cutting back on resonance. They are very [...]
LG LX150
Â
For those of you who’d rather use a simple yet useful and lovely cell phone, the LG LX150 is a nice choice. Very attractive, sporty and minimalistic design combined with a blue finish, make it enjoyable to look at.
It measures 3.46×1.85×0.82 inches and weighs 3.17 ounces and feels very comfortable. Integrated bluetooth is one of the improvements. The external screen’s resolution is 96×64 pixels, while the internal display measures [...]
Hannspree Xv LCD TV - 32″
Not anyone can afford a 32″ LCD TV, but this one is among the cheapest. Hanspree isn’t a very famous company. They are mostly known for having crazy shaped HDTVs, like stars or pigs. This one is pretty clasic in design though, if you’re watching standard-definition you will very probably be very satisfied.
It’s dimmensions are standard, 31.8×25.4×8.3 inches, and it weighs 48 pounds, being pretty
solid, just [...]
Yamaha YSP-900
The perfect virtual surround system is still a dream, but this device will probably not very far from that. It delivers 2.1 or 5.1 virtual surround sound only from a single soundbar, like the previous version. Paired with a 32-inch flat-screen, it will certainly give you satisfaction and make movies more enjoyable.
