EA's Dead Space: A Must Have
The first review out in the Xbox World 360 magazine gives it a generous 91% score, which is a really impressive rating. Off late, horror titles have been a bit disappointing, so EA's latest venture can inject some life in the genre. The game is a third person action/horror title where the player takes control of an engineer named Isaac Clarke on board of an interstellar mining ship. The game has been marketed profoundly by EA, with a special trailer called the "Loved Ones" by NameJames Wan.

Kodak V1073
The good:
Looks, Build quality, Touchscreen interface, Smart Mode, HD movie capture, Good image saturation and skin tones, sharp pictures, 32MB in-built memory.
The Bad:
No bundled A/V cable, Poor LCD performance in daylight, Battery life, ISO 6400 and ISO 8000 modes don't help at all.
The Kodak V1273 we reviewed recently turned out to be not just a great looker but a good performer as well. The new interface coupled with the responsive SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON and optical image stabiliser takes the overall experience to newer heights altogether.
The V1073 looks and feels almost identical to the V1273 albeit with a few minor changes here and there. So, you might just find most of the stuff being a repeat of the earlier review.
The Kodak V1073 has a 1/1.63 inch CCD (sensor type) that can capture 11MP (4016 x 2768) pictures. It uses a SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON 37-111 mm (35 mm equiv.) lens that has a 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilisation as well. The integrated 5x digital zoom takes the total zoom range of the camera to 15x. The camera boasts shutter speeds ranging from 8 to 1/1164 secs.
The back of the camera houses a 230K pixel resolution 3-inch touch screen LCD. Like most other Kodak cameras, the V1073 has a 32MB internal memory and features an SDHC/SD card slot.
The camera measures exactly the same as the V1273, measuring 93.3 x 57.9 x 21.0 mm (W x H x D) and weighing 148 grams. It's pocketable enough for you to carry it in your shirt pocket.

Sennheiser HD 457
Accurate reproduction of highs and mids, Comfortable to wear, Cord take-up.
Leaks audio, Weak bass response.
Sennheiser is a brand that needs no introduction; they've been making fine pieces of audio hardware for a long time now. The HD 457 is another in their fine line up but with a difference, this is priced for those on a budget.
BlueCON G5
A bluetooth adapter for the iPod that provides wireless music.
The good:
Wireless music, Extends iPod running time, Can double as a USB and charging medium for the iPod.
The bad:
Only compatible with stereo i.Tech headsets, Uncomfortable extension of iPod's length, Insufficient battery life.
i.Tech has a reputation for creating innovative products and while Bluetooth adaptors for the iPod certainly aren't news, one designed by i.Tech, a company that mainly makes Bluetooth headsets, certainly warrants notice. It's an excellent way to broaden the market for their bluetooth headsets.

Great e-mailing device, PEARL Navigation, Stylish, QWERTY keypad, Memory Card Slot (hot swappable).

Blackberry handsets have always been the enterprise solution handset just that now with even individuals have increased their productivity RIM has managed to focus equally on both - enterprise as well as individuals. Their Blackberry Curve 8300 and especially the latest Bold 9000 proves the companies strive to focus equally on both fronts.

ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe
The good:
Good Layout, 8+2 phase voltage regulation, Power and Reset buttons on the board, Quad CrossFireX support.
The bad:
Expensive, Single Gigabit LAN port, No dual BIOS.
The 7-series chipset from AMD is one of the most popular ones, made famous, thanks to their 780G line up that bought DX10 gaming to on-board graphics. Today we have their flagship offering with us, the ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe based on the 790FX chipset. This particular chipset is built for speed and provides the best features available for an AMD processor. It doesn't have any on-board graphics since it is meant for the enthusiast; instead it has a little surprise in that department.
