Logitech Launches Mac-Only Hi-Def Webcam

It seems strange that initially would launch Logitech webcam Mac only: All the Mac Mini, but Pro are built in iSight camera. Reading the specifications gives the answer - QuickCam Pro Vision is a significant step in performance with a built-in option.

Two megapixels QuickCam can deliver 720p video via autofocus Carl Zeiss lens and has a built-in microphone. Webcam will cost $ 130.00 U.S. dollars, and - Floating eerily like a shot in the product - QuickCam reminds me of nothing other than Empire's Imperial Probe Droid, Probot.

Epson Stylus SX400 Inkjet MFP

If you want proof that the design and production of printers is the process of evolutionary, not look further than the Epson in SX400. We cheerfully entered into the machine for review, when received a press release, because it was a new model in the field of competition in the market. When we received our sample, although he looked suspiciously familiar with.

If you read our review of the Epson Stylus DX8400, you'll have quite a good idea, as it looks and operates the printer. In SX400, apparently has a new color ID ", which means different shades of dark gray and black for his case. It also made a paper tray designs, such as front and rear. Clipboard changes may sound trivial, but in both cases, the model is a better paper and more support for the feed trays, paper stops flopping the front and the acquisition of the curve if you do not print.

In the control panel is identical to the past, but it was already well-defined, with a separate mode Copy buttons, Memory Card and photos and ring of buttons to control the menu. There's a 63mm color LCD, too, so you can preview photos from memory cards. To display images using a dual-scan somewhat strange, as the old Web page. This suggests that the printer processor is a bit underpowered.

Pisaka SX400 uses Contact Image Sensor (CIS) scanner, which is a good resolution to the flat with 2400 and 1200 by an internal 48-bit color depth. CIS scanners use of sensors and lens strips, along with LED lighting, mirrors and avoid and cold cathode lamps CCD-based devices. This is very little time to warm, but that may have problems with image depth if they are scanned which is not perfectly flat.

In front of the printer are two memory card slot, for all types normally, and PictBridge socket, which is rather deeply buried for the front fascia of plastic, making it fiddly to obtain at. This is true in a single PC with a USB connection back, too. Pisaka SX400 uses a four-color ink cartridges DuraBrite Ultra, which nest to print in the head. The printer goes through a series of one-off charges, after the introduction of a new round, but no other physical configuration.

Epson is a software package is very comprehensive and includes a copy of Abbyy Fine Reader 6 Sprint for optical character recognition, as several of the company's own tools for scanning and printing Web site. The printer driver has been updated with one-click options for tasks such as high-quality photos and text print quality standard print on plain paper.

Not much is known about this critter yet, but we did not know it offers 1.3-megapixel camera, video recording and file formats is not enough even to mention specifics. Heck, but said even send YouTube clips, although we are quite far from believing that it's true.

Iogear Portable Media Player


Iogear has gotten itself into the portable media player game with its very own 120GB device that functions like a video library in a box, holding up to 50 hours worth of DVD-quality video in a portable package.

Music Mug works on any MP3 player, provided that it is headphone jack. All you need do is plug the cable's Music Mug to an MP3 player, and let the music play. Just do not try and pour the coffee or other hot beverages Mug to his music. Product Page anticipate about it.

nVidia GeForce 9700M, 9800M Details Surface

It is only to be expected that, having launched the GeForce 260 GTX and GeForce 280 GTX nVidia that will no longer to update their mobile GPUs. Especially taking into account the many previous-generation chips are quite susceptible to damage. If Notebook Italia sources are correct (in our experience thay usually are), these details are already out.

Five new graphics chips look set to roll, and it appears that is not a replacement for each card currently on offer 8000M-series with the free quickly.

The cards line up with specs as follows:

9700M GT
32 shaders
625MHz core clock
1,550MHz shader clock
128-bit Memory interface
800MHz memory clock

9700M GTS
48shaders
530MHz core clock
1,325MHz shader clock
256-bit Memory interface
800MHz memory clock

9800M GTS
64 shaders
600MHz core clock
1,500MHz shader clock
256-bit Memory interface
800MHz memory clock

9800M GT
96 shaders
500MHz core clock
1,250MHz shader clock
256-bit Memory interface
800MHz memory clock

9800M GTX
112 shaders
500MHz core clock
1,250MHz shader clock
256-bit Memory interface
800MHz memory clock

Going only on paper, look for a new range of set the trend to close the gap between desktop and mobile performance. In the 9800M GTX is a very 8800 GT on spec-spec comparison, although undoubtedly thermal restrictions on the notebook model, without doubt, are much lower.

nVidia will almost certainly as soon as possible GPUs official, and usually suspected of containing them will announce in due time.

Navigon 2100 Sat-Nav

Always glad when Underdog wins. This is the beauty of watching sports, especially football in the FA Cup - occasionally, just occasionally, a team of part timers come a long nose and bloodies one of the Premiership big boys. Take Liverpool last year, when v Havant & Waterlooville, everyone said "Havant who?" and expected the Reds to run out of easy winners. They did not, in the end, but not before the fright of their lives. Havant took the lead twice in the first half, will be 1-0 by Richard Pacquette header pegged back before, and then edging to the front again thanks to Alfie Potter before eventually losing 5-2. What did recently with Navigon 2110 Max. With excellent mapping engine, just a wonderful tool to assist belt and all-round excellence, bloodied nose with TomTom's So-navs to the extent that we felt it deserved Recommended award. Is it cheaper to do the same 2100?

In 2100 is mainly in the lower part of the Navigon. Maps are regional - only the United Kingdom and Ireland included, instead of Europe as a whole from 2110 Max - and the screen is much smaller compared to 3.5in Max 4.3in, 2110. The main thing missing from the cheaper units, however, is a great Lane Assistant Pro. This means that no small lane road aid, which is a shame, but it's still standard belt aid, which works well, with an indication of which should be taken lanes on motorways and main roads.

Address entry is too fiddlier. Amazingly, when entering addresses, the keyboard takes only half the small screen, with different elements you have to fill in the address displayed on the left side. It is rather inefficient use of screen real estate and makes entering addresses to be much more difficult than it should. In 2110 Max had a full-screen, keyboard and 2100 will still benefit from the same approach.

It is immediately clear, then, that the Navigon 2100 is not quite accomplished in the sat-nav that in 2110 Max. But start using it and you will discover there is more than one might have expected. It looks as good as its bigger brother, but all clad in shiny black plastic and slips into your pocket much easier for the smaller screen. A Navigon 2100 retains Navigon's trademark Reality View, which displays static "realistic" image of the main motorway junctions before the arrival on them. I earlier this off, though, as you know what it looks vaguely crossing highways.
