However, despite this early lead, Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones have now become the leading Android devices on the market, both in terms of sales and public perception. With the new One, HTC is hoping to return to its position of King...

Hauppauge’s HD PVR 2, designed specifically for gaming use, lets users stream or record high definition footage straight to their computer. Hauppauge boasts that this PVR allows for video to pass through the box from your TV right to your screen with no delay. Which is not entirely true. Rather than record and store footage on the PVR itself, it acts as a middle-man of sorts between...

Razer’s latest gaming mouse, the Ouroboros, comes with high-end specs. Boasting an 8200dpi 4G dual sensor ensuring high accuracy and speed, the Ouroboros definitely plays like a top quality mouse. Unfortunately it also comes with a high-end price, going for $149.99 at some retailers. On the surface the Ouroboros struck me as something that wouldn’t feel comfortable. It’s slightly bigger and heavier than what I’m accustomed to...

Lenovo’s got a tough sell with their latest product, the IdeaPad Yoga 13. It tackles head on the idea of being a transforming machine, working as a respectable Windows 8 ultrabook on the one hand, and a tablet on the other. If you’re feeling really funky, you can even transform it into a hybrid, Macross GERWALK mode where it acts like a little bit of both. As to be...

This holiday season with such a wide array of phones to pick from the Lumia 920 can be a great pick.

With today’s media centres the ability to connect to a network is more desirable than ever. Many older devices still lack the all important inclusion of Wi-Fi or if they have it, like in the case of the PS3, they are saddled with an aging Gspec that does not allow for optional access to the internet. This is where the Linksys WUMC710 Media Connector comes into play. This device,...

When looking to buy a router there is always a question of whether a potential router will meet all your needs. With so many wireless products now in homes it is more important than ever for the router to not only boast a long list of features and the latest in wireless specs but also be able to handle it all while being connected to by many devices. The...

To most people a mouse is often just a mouse. The average computer user isn't concerned with a mouse's CPI or how many programmable buttons it has. However, in the world of PC gaming these factors and more are very important indeed. Steel Series makes no claims about how their mice will make you a better gamer, but they do feel that a mouse is...

Not An Omnipotent Genie The original Game Genie was released in 1990 by Galoob for the Nintendo Entertainment System and it was, for all intents and purposes, a “hack n’ patch” cartridge. You attached your game cartridges to the Genie, which in turn was inserted into your NES. From there, you could input simple alpha-numeric codes that could potentially do everything from making you invincible to giving...

The Diablo mouse is a great example of an aggressively licensed product that is still a must own gadget. Much like the Diablo Headset, SteelSeries has constructed a mouse that looks like it was wrenched straight from the world of Diablo. It is dark, with a glow that gives the feeling that something evil lives within the mouse. The mouse itself is light yet feels good in the hand,...
