The video is pretty awesome as well, but it totally lacks in the image stabilization area - if you plan on shooting something serious with it, you’ll definitely need a tripod. We...

About 2 years ago Boucheron collaborated with Vertu to make an incredibly expensive phone that dripped with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. At the time only two versions of the phone were being made one styled after a Cobra and the other a Python. Boucheron obviously loved the collaboration so much, they are doing it again to celebrate their 150th anniversary. This time they have moved away from the serpents and have given us 7 different Vertu phones that are elaborate... [Read more]

A few weeks ago we wrote about a Snupped a company that specialized in making trendy and funky designed laptop sleeves. Recently we were lucky enough to get a hands on experience with one of them.

We were sent the Stylish Girls in black which we thought was very appropriate, it retails for $33.94.... [Read more]

There is so much photo creation software out there, yet somehow when it comes to collage creation software choices, there are only a few - and they aren’t that great.

That is why we’re excited about Microsoft’s new AutoCollage 2008 which automatically creates collages of your photos. “AutoCollage is an advanced computer vision... [Read more]

The MS 500 from Phiaton’s Moderna Series is quite interesting looking and nothing like what we have seen before design wise.

Music will be delivered... [Read more]

We reviewed the Maxtor Shared Storage II a while back, which is essentially the predecessor to the the new Maxtor Central Axis. One of our biggest gripes with the Maxtor Shared Storage II was its complicated set-up and software interface, which luckily the new Maxtor Central Axis improves upon greatly. Another feature that we longed for was the ability to access files on the NAS over the internet, which the Maxtor Central Axis now brings to the plate. We also appreciate the... [Read more]
