New Year’s Gadget Bag!
Topics in this Podcast:
We hope everyone had a Happy New Year and Rockin’ Holiday Break. I did, and not only because it included an awesome espresso machine and grinder, but also a celebrity gossip-worthy NYE event. Oh Tara. Actresses should still be able to count.
Lots of hand-on reviews in this show and very little news. I got my hands on the:
- Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboard
- Logitech Revolution VX mouse (and I run through the differences between it and the MX)
- Logitech Wireless DJ streaming music device (video here)
- Ultimate Ear Super.fi 5 Pro canalphones
- Samsung Yp-T9 MP3 player
- Gateway CX210 Tablet PC
and a quick take on the Gateway FPD2485W 24” LCD monitor (video here).
News? News!?!?! We don’t need no stinkin’… oh wait. Okay, here’s some news.
The RIAA is trying to sue AllOfMP3.com for 1.65 TRILLION dollars – more than the GDP of Russia.
A Mac tablet PC will be released at MacWorld, but not by Apple. Interesting…
Samsung has 16GB NAND flash ready for the market, which means larger Solid State Drives. Also in storage news, Seagate has announced that they have 1TB HDD drives ready for the market. Sweet pr0n storage heavens!
The Blu-Ray/HD-DVD war is about to come to a bloodless end. LG has announced they will be showing off an HD-DVD/Blu-Ray hybrid player at CES, and Warner has announced they are working on dual HD-DVD/Blu-Ray discs. When will people learn that the BetaMax/VHS thing will never happen again?
