The Giga Vu Pro is a bit hard to classify: its intended purpose is for downloading digital pictures straight from your camera’s CompactFlash card to its hard drive and to do that job fast. Of course, you need to be able to view what you’re doing and edit, annotate and direct print your images. So it does that too.

With the wide variety of cell phones available on the market today, choosing a cell phone can be more time consuming than ever.  In fact, it's almost like picking out clothes.  You want to choose something that was designed well and basically fits and suits your needs.  It is interesting to take a look at how different companies design their cell phones and the tradeoffs that go along with it.  For instance, a cell phone's average display may be made up for with an abundant set of features, or vice-versa. The LG L1400 is a compact, stylish phone that shows LG as a strong player in the cell phone market.  As a budget phone, this phone provides all the refined features that a person could want in a cell phone.  Despite the mediocre battery performance, many users will appreciate the bright OLED screen that this phone has to offer; LCD screens on phones may never look the same again once you've seen this.  

When it comes to 5.1 multimedia speakers, we all know how it can be annoying when trying to setup the rear speakers.  For one thing, the wire needs to be long enough to reach behind you.  Another problem is finding the right place to place the speakers to get the desired 5.1 sound effect.  Some people just don't have the room or the proper place to place the rear speakers.  For instance, I usually place one rear speaker on my printer on the right behind me.  Behind on the left, I'm forced to place a speaker on my bed post.  Altec Lansing has devised a solution that will eliminate this problem with the GT5051 multimedia speakers.  These multimedia speakers do involve 5.1 sound, but rather than place the rear speakers behind you, there were placed on the front satellites.  Let's find out if these speakers are more effective or worse than a tradition 5.1 setup. 

If you are on the lookout for a 19 inch LCD monitor, then consider the Samsung Syncmaster 915n.  Unlike your typical 19 inch LCD monitor, this has an extremely low pixel response time of 8ms which makes this monitor very attractive for gaming.  The previously recently reviewed LG 1980U had a pixel response time of 12ms.  The real question that you may ask is whether there is really a difference between 12 and 8ms.  In general, the answer is 'yes'.  There is a slight difference, that is, if you have a picky eye. Although pixel response time is important to gamers, we cannot forget the other features that are important to the quality of a monitor.  This includes things like the overall design, contrast ratio, and of course the overall picture quality.  In this review, we will be taking a look at Samsung's newly released Syncmaster 915n LCD monitor.

Fujitsu's Lifebook series is known for being unique in its shape and size.  Although they currently are not as prevalent in retail stores compared with other brands such as Dell or Toshiba, Fujitsu notebooks are still a viable option for it's uniqueness.  You may have seen those incredibly small Lifebook notebooks which are about the size of a small textbook.  The Fujitsu S7010 has actually been out for quite a while, but still offers an attractive package.  The laptop carries the Centrino label and does offer a set of features which are competitive against current existing notebooks in the market today.

LCD displays have come a long way.  LCD displays for your computer are more desirable these days because they offer larger screens, are much more affordable, and are more acceptable for gaming.  When gaming with an LCD monitor, one of the issues involves "ghosting".  In general, ghosting is a blurriness of the screen when viewing fast paced images or content on a LCD monitor.  The reason behind this has to do with the pixel response time of a LCD monitor.  The pixel response time basically determines how fast a pixel can be displayed on a screen.  If you have a high pixel response time, then ghosting is prevalent.  On the other hand, a low pixel response time translates to minimal or non-perceived ghosting.  Today, I will be reviewing the LG Flatron 1980U LCD display.  This monitor is ideal for gaming because of it's emphasized low 12ms response time. 

As a professional aerial photographer I don’t think I ever have come across the perfect camera. Whether it’s film or digital, medium format or 35mm all cameras are a compromise which may work well with one group of photographers but less so with others. And much of it is personal preference. With that qualifying statement I have found my initial two weeks in the company of the latest Digital SLR from Olympus a most pleasant experience. Let me share my findings on the E-300 – also named Evolt in other countries – in this introduction (a more in-depth report may follow later).

You might've seen from the previous reviews on the site that I'm very interested in sound.  In fact, I'm always on a quest for better sound.  Today, I will be looking at a set of earphones called the Yahba Opus earphones.  Yes, the earphones are made by a company called Yahba.  You probably have not heard of the company for probably two main reasons: the first being that they are an extremely small company; second is that they only offer a single product which are the earphones which I am talking about now.
