• Dell mini netbook for portability

  02.08.10 | No Comments

  It’s no secret that laptop these days are getting smaller and slimmer. Whether it was Victoria Beckham who inspired the trend of “slim” laptops is still uncertain. There actually came a point where manufacturers couldn’t reduce the size further without having to scale down the configuration.  So to counter that problem, they came up with a whole new segment of laptops, and there you go, the birth of a netbook. Netbooks are a branch of notebooks which are extremely small, light, and inexpensive. Netbooks are ideally suited for general computing and office usage. Due to their increasing popularity almost all laptop manufacturers entered into the netbook market. Among all of these netbooks available in the market the Dell netbook stands head over heels above the rest. Its artistic designs and specific colors make it very attractive to look at. This netbook comes with loads of features. For starters, the built-in mobile broadband option eliminates the need to install external mobile broadband devices or run around for Wi-Fi hot spots. It also boasts of a Global Positioning System option which would help people like me with hardly any sense of direction from getting lost. This laptop brags of 5 hours (yes I was shocked too!!) of video playback which is outstanding. The multimedia capabilities are pretty good as well. It comes with a 10-inch hi-definition LCD monitor which makes movie viewing a memorable experience. The sleek design and light weight add to the experience when you’re on the go.

  Among other Dell netbooks, the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v netbook is particularly popular. This netbook comes with an Intel Atom processor on a GMA 500 chipset which is more that sufficient to satisfy your need for processing power. It also has a 10.3-inch hi-definition monitor which has a 1,366×768 native resolution. If by any chance you’re not satisfied with the size of the screen there is a HDMI port that can be connected to a HD TV anywhere. The trendy design of this netbook makes it very popular among students.

  So if you’re looking to buy a netbook loaded with amazing features, good build quality, trendy designs and that wont break the bank your should buy the Dell Mini Netbook.

• Protect your new iPhone 3g with a proper case

  02.07.10 | No Comments

  The Apple iPhone has become pretty ubiquitous in America. If your significant other or spouse already own one (most relevantly the newest 3g model), why not help them protect their investment of the best communication device of this day and age? Use the upcoming holiday to give them the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. An Apple iPhone case can make the most thoughtful gift for your tech savvy sweetheart. It will provide the best protection for your iPhone 3g which has a large touch screen display and delicate plastic exterior rather than the sturdier aluminum iPhone 1g exterior.

  You can go for genuine leather which provides cushioning as well as sleek style, silicone for cool transparent colors, or simple plastic cases that will break the fall if the phone is dropped accidentally. These cases are all excellent for saving the gadget from scratches, dust, and everyday grime. There is a wide variety to choose from ranging from the most expensive and the most exclusive ones to cheap generic ones you can find from a street vendor at the flea market. Here are some tips to help you in  your decision-making process.

  • Everything of qualty has a price and sometimes luxury is the best gift. The GnG Gold Delicious is probably the most expensive of all iPhone cases! Made of140 grams of 18k gold, a carbon fiber inlay  and about 200 diamonds. The logo on the outer frames has around 400 diamonds which may be customized.
  • The carbon fiber iPhone case has four layers of carbon fiber. Less flexible than silicone iPhone cases, it has a neoprene lining and comes with a glossy finish that is scratch resistant. It has a removable bottom so you can dock it without the hassle of removing the whole case.
  • The iWood, an eco-friendly iPhone wood case, is another good option. It is unique and gives a very sophisticated look. If silicone, plastic, or any other material just doesn’t cut it for you, the iPhone wood case would be perfect for you. Select a cherry, walnut, or bamboo wood finish that will provide your iPhone with protection and style.
  • The speck pixel skin case is a good choice for the ones using the iPhone 3G. Has a non-slip rubber grip and protects your iPhone from bumps and scratches. The case offers openings to all ports, controls, and sensors. Take your pick from seven delightful colors.
  • The iPhone Clear Armour is the highest quality protective film available. If you are not looking for the regular cases, this is just the one for you. It’s transparent and keeps your apple cell phone (or tiny computer as some like to call it) in pristine condition.

  Fully protect your remarkable gadget with any of the following above to ensure longevity!

• Windows 7 – upgrade for the new year

  02.01.10 | 1 Comment

  Have you ever felt frustrated because the new external device you bought wouldn’t get any or get very little support from your computer? When downloading music, has the message on your computer said: device not found? Ah! Here’s an end (well, to a large extent) to all those age-old problems. The windows 7 upgrade is the answer!

  Never before has an operating system been so safe, polished, fun ,and interesting like the new Windows 7. Windows 7 is equipped with some excellent new features that make it the best OS by Microsoft so far. Of course, Microsoft’s new offering is flashier, has great graphical features with strong design around its Taskbar and Aero Peek but the overall performance is not a tough competitor to Windows XP. Importantly, Windows 7 will not require the hardware upgrades that Windows Vista demanded. This is partially because the hardware has caught up and partially because Microsoft has gone to great lengths to make Windows 7 more user-efficient.

  A lot have been spoken about how good the Windows 7 is as compared to its predecessor, Windows Vista. It’s a better offer but more on the lines of being a suitable successor to the popular Windows XP, Windows 7 is a sort of streamlined Vista underneath, same hardware requirements and same hardware compatibility model.

  I can see Windows 7 OS becoming a major run-away hit like Windows 98 or Windows XP. But first, users across the world will need to use the ‘trial and error’ method to see if Windows 7 really is for them. Windows 7 is certainly workable and user friendly operating system. As your new year gets filled with lots of fun, the windows 7 upgrade will fill your PC with fun too!

• Record new memories during the new year with Jazz Camcorders

  01.29.10 | No Comments

  Record all your new memories for the new year with a Jazz Camcorder.

  There are several things that make  a decent camcorder and with so many options thrown at you; Jazz Camcorder is quite different, strange, and unique in its own way. The best thing about Jazz Camcorder is its price, size, and easy-to-use approach.

  The Jazz Camcorder is relatively cheap when compared to other camcorders in the market. They can be found at any of the major retail outlets. Also, it’s smaller in size as compared to other camcorders and is easy to place in your pocket. Given its price and size, I think it should be called Recession-friendly Camcorder because in a market where electronic gadgets are pricey, this little piece comes for an easy price.

  

  The Jazz Camcorder is a good buy because besides its two mentioned features, it also is so easy to use. It doesn’t come with a reader’s manual, which means that it isn’t difficult to use at all. The picture quality, screen size, and video recording time are fair as per its price. Although it doesn’t come with a memory card or batteries, it’s very user friendly. As a matter of fact, the Jazz Camcorder is excellent for growing kids who’re learning to handle and use one.

  This Camcorder is perfect for small-time recordings. It’s a popular device among the younger crowd and given its price and size, I think it’s still the best buy in that category. If you are looking for a pocket-size and inexpensive camcorder then you cannot miss the Jazz Digital Video Recorder. You can’t go wrong with a portable, reliable camcorder to capture all the moment of 2010 and on!

  Jazz up your New Year!

• Steve Jobs announces the Apple iPad

  01.27.10 | 2 Comments

  After months of speculation, Steve Jobs finally unveiled Apple’s “tablet” to the entire public at their “Latest Creation” event earlier today. Originally believed to be named the iSlate or iTablet, Jobs announced their newest product as the iPad. The iPad joins an existing line of Apple products that have already been a hit with many consumers, like the iPhone 3Gs and Macbook Pro.

  The iPad’s features will allow consumers to go online, listen to music, view photos, utilize apps, and read digital books. In a nutshell, think of it as a device that is in between a laptop and smartphone. Measuring at 9.5″ H x 7.5″ W x 0.5″ D, the iPad has  a 9.7″ (diagonal) LED-backlit touchscreen and weighs 1.5 lbs. The device can even be turned sideways for a widescreen view to enhance  your user experience and help you conveniently type e-mails and documents. The 16gb iPad, will retail for $499 with WIFI capability and $629 for both WIFI and 3G. An expected release date has been set for March 1, 2010.

  Whether you see this device as a technological advancement or merely a huge Ipod Touch, it’s safe to say that the iPad will do extremely well in the market. Not only are the price points reasonable, but the single fact that the device is from Apple is already half the appeal to their cult-like followers. For additional information go to the Ipad page on the official Apple website.
