- Nokia N-Gage games phone now available in UK -
Nokia's N-Gage cellphone-cum-handheld games console isn't due to ship
until early next October, but if you've L600 to spare and happen to be in
London's Tottenham Court Road, you can pick up one up. Nokia announced
the machine, which is based on the Symbian 7 operating system, some months
ago, and said it will ship "to consumers in volumes across five continents in
early October 2003". The games will ship on Multimedia Card (MMC), and around
20 titles will be available when the N-Gage ships. Titles include Tomb Raider,
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon, Rayman 3, Tony Hawks Pro Skater,
Pathway to Glory, and Mercel Desailly Pro Soccer.
- Intel Squashes Centrino Bug - Intel said yesterday that it has
turned off software in its family of mobile processors that could cause
some Centrino-powered notebooks to crash when used with a virtual private
network under the Windows or Windows XP operating system. Intel
spokesman Daniel Francisco said the chip maker had determined that the problem
occurs when VPNs are used with the adaptive-switching utility in its Centrino
PROSet software. That utility allows users to maintain a connection when they
switch from a wired network connection to a wireless LAN connection.
- Qtek 7070 goes to Hong Kong, Sweden - Mobile network operator
TeliaSonera and Hong Kong-based Synergy have both launched the
HTC
Tanager-based Qtek 7070, running on Microsoft's Smartphone 2002 platform.
Following introductions of two other HTC Tanager-based smartphones in Asia,
the reference design has now found its way to both Sweden and Hong Kong, where
the Qtek 7070 is being launched by mobile network operator TeliaSonera and
Synergy, respectively. The version launched by Synergy will be the first
Smartphone 2002 device with Chinese language support, and both slated for
availability in June.
- Biofeedback Gaming - A new kind of game was debuted at the E3 expo.

Wild Divine. The game features a biofeedback USB interface designed to
allow a player (or players) to navigate through the game using their mind
power, breath, and heart rate. (thanks

- Sony sets movies to self-destruct - According to Japanese
newspaper Nikkei Business Daily, the company's So-net Internet service
provider will soon trial the service in Japan. Many digital content
providers currently use encrypted streaming to prevent people from saving
and copying movie files. The downside is that the quality of the video
suffers, as it is reduced in size for Web transmission. In addition, people
must stay online to view the feed.
- Stem cell 'immortality' gene found - The gene found in mouse ESCs
and some human equivalents appears to be
the "master gene", co-ordinating other genes to allow stem cells to
multiply limitlessly while still retaining their ability to differentiate. It
has been christened Nanog after the land in Celtic myth called Tir nan Og,
whose inhabitants remain forever young.

applies to earlier versions of the OS, in addition to Internet Explorer &
Outlook Express.
- Nokia 5100 Phone review -
The
Nokia 5100 is probably one of the oddest phones we have seen. The design
is definitely over the top and the inclusion of programs such as a calorie
burner and sound meter have us wondering if the cell phone market has become
so competitive to the point that every little add-on function is necessary to
stay one step ahead of the competition. The power button on the 5100 is
ridiculously hard to push and for every extra ability the 5100 has, there
still is no Bluetooth capability.
- Belkin's 54G wi-fi card review - What about the price? Bear in mind
that Belkin says this card will support the 802.11g standard, which gives much
higher speeds than 802.11b. If you're contemplating installing an 802.11g
network but still would like to smurf the Interweb as you move away from your
office or home, this could be a suitable compromise. Most networks out there
at the coffee bars and, where you can find them, in the airports, support
802.11b right now.
Belkin also
does an 802.11b only card which costs $75 - the extra $25 may well be worth
the investment.
- Sonicwall SOHO TZW Wireless Internet Security Appliance Review -
Sonicwall is well known for their premium-priced, but easy to use wired
IPsec-based Internet security products.
With the SOHO TZW they now enter the world of wireless LAN security, a
place known to bring even strong LAN administrators to their knees, heads
hurting from the ever-increasing barrage of new acronyms and security
methodology. Did Sonicwall really succeed in making wireless security a
setup-and-go story?
- ABIT IC7-G Canterwood P4 Motherboard review -
The IC7-G is a feature packed P4 board, that packs Gigabit LAN, dual SATA
RAID through the ICH5R and Silicon Image 3122A SATA controller, Surround sound
, Optical Digital Audio In/Out, Firewire as well as the other features that
are included in the i875P such as 8XAGP, USB2.0 and 800MHz FSB support.
- eVGA e-G4 MX440-8X 64MB NVIDIA Personal Cinema - The Personal
Cinema offers an enormous amount of features and does it all in a single
product. While this is not a hardcore gamer's card it performs well in most
games on the market. The strong point about this card is its A/V capabilities,
dual display and TV tuner functionality. Bang for the buck, it rocks.
Watch the Video to find out more...
- nVidia GeForce FX5200 (NV34) review -
GeForce FX 5200 left dual impression. On the one hand, the performance
about the same as that for GeForce4 MX, sometimes much lower than shown by the
competition and the predecessor. On the other hand, its low price ~90$
(anyway, the price is worth cutting down since cards based on this graphics
chip are able competing only with GeForce4 MX ? RADEON 9000), good DirectX 9
optimization and excellent pixel handling, albeit not without flaws: test
results in the Advanced Pixel Shaders scene point to that, but these are more
likely to be driver problems and soon they will be fixed.
- Triplex Eye Bomb R9500 Pro 128MB VGA review -
The Triplex R9500Pro is around 5~10% faster than your average Ti-4800SE(Ti-4400
8X). The lead could go up to around 40% when FSAA is enabled. This shows that
the R9500Pro has a more efficient FSAA than the one-year-old GF4 Ti. If you
were not too concerned with the image quality, then you may want to look for
an ultra cheap GF4 Ti-4200 to save some cash.
- ATI's Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB review - Those who want the absolute
top of the line card for their new box and want their systems to have the
longest life spans can go for the 256MB Radeon 9800 Pro. Also, there are those
out there such as game developers and 3D / 2D artists, who need the extra
memory capacity often seen on high-end professional cards, but still need
great OpenGL/Direct3D performance, the 256MB Radeon 9800 Pro may be a good fit
here. In comparison with the high-end professional-level cards on the market
with 256MB of memory, the
Radeon 9800 Pro may be a good deal.

- Jazz Speakers Wireless J9940W 5.1 Speakers Review - MonkeyReview
has posted
a new review on the Wireless J9940W 5.1 Speakers system from Jazz Speaker.
"Sound, for some it ll be an aspect in which hundreds if not thousands of
dollars are spent, for others, a mere 30$ 2.1 sound system will be suffice.
But, what about those of us that fit somewhere in between? Not wanting to
spend our savings on a high end sound system but also realizing the quality
that s available from of a mid priced 5.1 system. With that said, today we re
going to be checking out the Jazz J9940W 5.1 Sound system from Jazz Speakers."
- Scythe Ergo Diver keyboard review -
The Ergo Diver
is designed for people who want to have their right hand on the mouse while
their left hovers over the keyboard, probably because they're playing a game (image).
Various important keys, including the cursor keys, have been relocated to the
left side of the Diver. The keyboard isn't missing anything except for the
numeric keypad, though, so you could, in theory, use it all the time.
Especially if you need a really compact keyboard.
- A Keyless Keyboard Info -
Imagine a keyboard with no space bar, no letters, no numbers no keys at all.
In fact, forget the entire idea of a keyboard, as you know it, altogether.
Just reach down with both hands and grab your knees (assuming you have two
knees), and close your eyes. Only subtle differences exist between this
sensation, and the experience of first lowering your hands and gripping the
OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard. The OrbiTouch completely removes finger movements
from the process of typing, while significantly reducing the amount of wrist
motion. Keystrokes are composed of simultaneous movements of both domes in
sync. For instance, moving the left dome to the left and moving the right dome
to the right will create a letter 'd'. etc..
