Arguably the most important page on any computer or mobile device is the homepage. Spb knows that and have spent significant time and money on developing the best interface for your phone in the market today. They already had a winner in version 2.0 which was shipped by many device makers such as Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and others.

Here's the first quick look.

Call me carbon-dated but I can still remember when Nero Burning Rom was still in digital diapers and Easy CD Creator ruled the ROM burning world.  Those were the days when Nero had a decent product but was always playing second fiddle in hardware support.  About the time when the main competitor changed names was when Nero gain ascendency and Nero 9 is the latest in the pedigree.  Nero 9 has evolved into a powerful suite of tools that encompasses the cycle from the birth to distribution of your multimedia creations, whether it is music, video, photos or data.

Every once in a while a device comes along which pairs beauty with function in an exquisite way.
The Contour Design SURFACE SOUND COMPACT is such a unit.  The trouble is, even such a long name isn't descriptive enough.  So what does the Contour Design SURFACE SOUND COMPACT do?  Simply put, it is a wireless car kit based on Bluetooth, of which there are many in the market. 
So how did we fare in our roadtest?  Is that all just sleekness and beauty but does it disappoint in the audio department? 
Let's find out!

Not content with their excellent NS4300 and NS2300N NAS/RAID devices, Promise is set to release two new RAID boxes for all your media needs.

Not too long ago, we had a good look at the Qnap Network Attached Storage Drive.  We liked its overall construction and performance. 

Today, we turn our attention to another one, except it is made by Synology.  You may have never heard of the company, but they have been making these kinds of products for quite a while now. 

Let's take a look at what makes this product different from the nearby competition.

This neat hand held from Chinavasion lets you relive all those classic games from your favourite consoles of yesteryear - NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, GBA, Neo-Geo and even the CPS1 and 2 CAPCOM arcade systems.

If this somehow isn't enough, the hand held can even play back FLV, WMV, ASF, RM, AVI, MPEG, MP4, RMVB and SWF video files as well as MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC audio files.

And it can record music using its built in FM tuner too!

Stay tuned as we try to get one of these in to see if there is anything it can't do!

The Multi-Platform Gaming Entertainment System is available now for 65Euro from Chinavasion.
