The Vox BlackBox is a 1 Terabyte Network Attached Storage Drive that is all about storage. 

While it is great for storage, the functionality is just enough to get by and could use some more refinement.  This product seems to be a great product if you are just looking to store some files while utilizing more than one drive. 

This all-in-one solution includes the built-in software, enclosure, as well as two 500GB hard drives.

OCZ just announced a line of much faster SSDs with a built-in mini-USB port for firmware upgrades.

Already OCZ seem to be the price/performance leaders in this hotly contested market and they just ratcheted up the screws a bit more with the brand new Core Series V2 SSDs.

The SSDs will be available in 30GB, 60GB, 120GB, and 250GB storage capacities. More importantly, read speeds have increased to 170MB/sec with write speeds listed at 98MB/sec across the whole product range.

An interesting feature of the drives is the addition of a mini-USB port which allows end-users to increase the performance of their drives with future firmware updates from OCZ, although you wonder why the SATA cable could not be used for this.

We are currently testing MTRON's ultra-fast PRO7500 and it would be great to see how one of these beauties stack up against this. Stay tuned.

One of the most prolific makers of smartphones and PDAs, HTC, has been bringing out a slew of devices onto the Australian market. 

Today we will be reviewing the Touch Cruise which is a GSM phone (not suited, however, for the NextG network).
One of the main features of this device includes the TouchFLO technology that will allow you to scroll, pan and zoom in on your photos as well as access different programs.  Another key feature is the built-in navigation software from ALK technologies: Co-Pilot Live.
Let's have a look at the other features that make this phone an outstanding choice if you are happy to use the Windows Mobile platform.

Memorex announced the release of two new iPod clock radios, the Mi4019 and iWakeup.  Whilst the two units have similar feature sets, they are targeted at very different markets.

QNap TS-509 Pro RAID Boxes Look the Goods

Powered by an Intel Celeron 1.6GHz CPU - the sort of power the laptop I’m writing on has - the TS-509 Pro delivers 5 bay, hot-swappable NAS/RAID goodness. The unit comes with an insane 1GB of DDRII memory, dual Gigabit LAN ports and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/JBOD and more!

While the The TS-509 Pro Turbo NAS is designed specifically for business users who require a NAS server for performance, capacity, features, and manageability, we feel that in today’s data filled world this would make a perfect box for the tech savvy pro-sumer.

While we try to get our hands on one of these beauties, surf on over to QNap’s website for more information.

FIREWIRE 400/USB 2.0 POWERED HUB STORAGE SOLUTION
 
I like the minimalist front of this beauty but the back -- that's the telling bit! Here's a small footprint, high performance Plug & Play external powered hub storage solution that NewerTech have become known for.

It has some unique features which will make it an ideal companion for SSD-equipped notebook owners, I think and that's why we have requested a review unit to put it to the test. They come in different configurations but why anyone would bother with less than 1TB on a unit like this is a puzzle to me...
Check out some more details below.

Today we are looking at the Noctua NF-P12 120mm Fan.

You would think it’s hard to get excited over another fan on the market but how wrong you would be.

Surviving in an emergency situation is something people rarely think about - let alone plan for. While stockpiling canned foods and building a fall-out shelter is certainly extreme, equipping yourself with some basic survival tools - you know, just in case - might just be a reasonable proposition.

Read on for our take on Eton’s Solarlink FR150 and Microlink FR500 survival crank radios. 

Taiwanese company, Honlai have introduced three new mini projectors, including the very cool looking QingBar MP100. While many details are still unknown (including pricing and exact dimensions) the MP100 is said to have a VGA resolution (640x480) and able to project 27 inches at 10-15 lumens from a distance of 1m.

Stay tuned as we try to find out more details and hopefully get our hands on an MP100 for the full DigitalReviews treatment.

Australian based company, Mint Wireless has beaten international competition to be the first company to commercially release a true “pocket projector.”

With dimensions of 125 x 55 x 23mm, the V10 pocket projector is far removed from the projectors which are so common in schools and boardrooms alike. While specs are scant at the moment, the V10 is said to project a range of multimedia up to 50 inches in size from only 1.8m away.

With a suggested retail price of $649, the V10 pocket projector is projected to become available nationwide in September.
