The Sansa Fuze from SanDisk, is a cool little MP3/4 player along the same vein as the iPod Nano. We’ve recently been sent one to play with so here are our thoughts and findings (or a review so to speak). Aesthetically the Fuze is a cute little player.The physical UI consists of a rotating front dial which also acts as the 4 navigation buttons with the center button for selection. The display crisp with a resolution of 220 x 176, large enough for watching the odd music video but you wouldn’t want to watch a feature length film on it. Sound quality was good (though as with just about any MP3 player the supplied headphones aren’t the greatest). What most impressed me about the Fuze are the extra features that you don’t find on other (note iPod) players, including: Built in microphone FM radio microSD Slot, a really cheap way to expand the capacity Easy to transfer files (drag and drop) without the need of propriety software Though there are a few downsides: Propriety USB connectio...

Many video editing or 3D animation software nowadays support the usage of two monitors. However, not many of us, who want to take the full advantages of those apps, have enough money to buy a secondary display monitor. The solution to this problem is to use an external USB display, which is kind of getting popular lately. One of them is the FTD-W71 USB External Display from Buffalo. It sports a 7-inch screen, a resolution of WVGA (800×480), and a contrast ratio of 500:1. Might not be the best choice outthere, but for its price, you can’t really complaint a lot.

Your webmaster search is: new computer gadgets On the recent CES 2009 event in Las Vegas, MSI proudly presented one of its first line-up of WiMax-ready mini laptop , the U120 netbook . WiMax technology offers up to 70Mbps transfer rate (six times than standard 802.11 WiFI) and covers about 50KM square (500 times than WiFI). This guarantee a blazing fast download speed on the go wherever WiMax signal detected. Pretty cool, isn’t it? The company also promises that more WiMax-capable notebooks will be released later this year, so if you prefer to own a standard laptop than a netbook, just wait for a couple of months.

Small digital cameras are everywhere these days, but few are as cool as the L'Espion S Digital Camera. Disguised as a Zippo style lighter, the L'Espion S is tiny, yet still includes an impressive line-up of features including video mode, web cam mode, built in USB port and 8mb of memory and "surveilance mode". Pretty impressive stuff. The 640x480 resolution is enough for most covert uses, as well as a few practical ones. As much of a talking point as it is a camera, we reckon the L'Espion S is outstanding as both! Related Links Spy Gadgets

Enter the worlds first Fisheye camera... Ahem.. You might be asking yourself what is a fisheye lens. Well let me explain. Its basically a lens which can see everything within a 170-degree view, so if you were to put the camera up to your mates nose, it would see his nose (perfectly focused) and then 170-degrees around him as well (also perfectly focused) Unfortunately this is not a digital camera, so you'd have to be all old-fashioned again and go down to your local photo development shop to get the pics developed. Once done however, the photos produce a brilliant round effect with everything in sight, which surprisingly is all in focus thanks to its massive depth of field. As said, this camera isn't digital which we're a bit disappointed about (let's face it, if it was then this would be seriously cool), but that said this camera takes normal films so there's no worry about getting special-high-p...

So, you've taken some great digital photos: What are you going to do with them now? Print them yourself and end up with poor quality prints that you don't know what to do with? Send them off to an expensive photo lab then stick them in a tatty old album? Just leave them on your PC and force the family to gather around the screen in the spare room when you want to show off your holiday snaps? Let's face it - you need a better way to show off your digital photos. The PC1 Digital Photo Album finally brings photo display into the same century as digital photography. Simply pop your camera's memory card into the unit and it will start playing a slideshow of your photos in vivid, high-resolution colour. Try getting your battered old photo album to display video and you are going to encounter problems, but not with the PV1 Digital Photo Album. It'll play your digital videos (with sound) as easily as it will photos, and even works as an MP3 player.

Computer experience is a truly hazardous thing to human's health in long-term outlook. No need to name all the harm day-to-day hours at computer can do. It comes from practically every gear whether it is a monitor, or a keyboard and even system block can get on nerves with too loud sound or even smell sometimes. However, a probable solution to cure RSI and CTS we normally get from our keyboards have already arrived. RSI and CTS are medical terms for Repetitive Strain Injury and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Overall they mean that wrists are harmed by computer work and there hardly is a cure except for giving up PC work maybe. This is much easier to prevent this sort of things rather then to cope with as they occur, so Smartfish Technologies made their own user-friendly keyboard. It is called the Pro-Motion keyboard. read more
