Hard on the heels of our most recent Bluetooth GPS review, the f-tech Solar 7 with its integrated solar panel, we now review the latest Bluetooth reincarnation from Rikaline, the GPS6033.First impressions: extremely compact, handsome, rock steady on dashboards and fully complete with two chargers.Naturally, the 6033 has the new SiRF chipset and has a very decent battery life.Probably the best feature is the price: around the 150US mark.Time to check out the diminutive 6033 to see how it performs in the air and on the road.

Most PC users are familiar with Lite-On as a company that provides optical drives such as CD and DVD recorders for the PC.  Lite-On also makes consumer DVD players and recorders.  Since this area has a more broad range of users, it is important that any user, whether it be a novice or expert, that they will be able to use the product easily.  

When thinking about quality headphones, most people think of companies such as Sennheiser, Sony, Koss, etc.  Can we add the company Icemat Audio to that list?  If you haven't heard of Icemat, they are known for making quality gaming mousepads and they even have some MP3 players up their sleeve.  Based on their past products, they certainly do know how to cater to the needs of gamers.  I can safely say that the Icemat Siberia is no exception.  This product with its modular design is composed of headphones, a microphone, and even a volume controller.  This does leads to a lot of wiring, but if you keep it all organized, you have less to worry about.

If you are an American Idol fan, you might have seen this phone being advertised by Cingular in a show or two.  Cingular couldn't have chosen a better audience.  If you aren't familiar with American Idol, the fans vote on their favourite singers by text messaging their responses with their phone.  If you are the person who does a lot of text messaging, then this phone is for you.  LG's unique phone makes it easier to send larger quantities of text with its built in keyboard.

One of the main reasons that people purchase a notebook over a desktop is because of its portability.  When we took a look at the Fujitsu S7010, we noticed its very slim and portable design.  Fujitsu has taken the term 'portability' and has taken it to another level with the Fujitsu P7010.  Unlike your typical ultra portable notebook, this notebook is extremely small.  In fact, I'd say it's about the size of a textbook.

Why didn’t anyone think of this before?
Combine a Bluetooth GPS receiver that most of the time sits on top of a dashboard anyway, with an integrated solar panel and, voila, you have the longest battery life possible.
Have a look at this first, in-depth review of this beauty from f-tech Corporation, based on the Trimble FirstGPS chipset.
We put it through test drives and also checked it out in a pressurized Cessna Centurion to see how it behaved in real life.

Just recently we reviewed the TS Micro from SureCheck, the sub-$300 sibling of the much more capable VRX.
It was love at first sight with that miniscule radar detector of the skies but when it comes to noticing traffic even before you can see it, nothing beats the VRX: it displays much more information and is still affordable.
If you’re in the market for a mini-TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) here’s one that you can give pride-of-place in your cockpit panel.
Let’s dissect the features of the SureCheck VRX.

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.
