Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Review

, Nov 28th 2011 Discuss [7]

AT&T and Samsung have brought forth a tablet that adds to their set of sleek Android-based slates, this one the first to work with the carrier’s 4G LTE network. Inside you’ll find the rather powerful 1.5Ghz Qualcomm MSM8660 dual-core processor, Samsung’s custom user interface TouchWiz UX made specifically for tablets, and either 16 or 32GB or internal storage. You can take 3 megapixel photos and 720p videos with the back-facing camera, slightly less impressive media with the front-facing 2 megapixel camera. As this tablet is thin, so is it speedy, and as there are now more than four different models of tablet running Android from Samsung on the market today, surely they’ve gotten the formula correct enough to warrant such an array by now – wouldn’t you say?

KORG Monotron Review

, Nov 26th 2011 Discuss [3]

There is a little keyboard-looking device out there, ladies and gentlemen, that goes by the name of Monotron, is made by KORG, and will either drive your parents absolutely up the wall or will play the part in your ultra-professional mobile electronic band like no product you’ve ever used before. The KORG Monotron is what’s called an analogue ribbon synthesizer and has just enough knobs, output ports, and volume to make you a musical masterpiece sit comfortably in your pocket. Watch as your humble narrator stumbles through the original electronic beat Popcorn and judge for yourself whether or not you want the cutest magic music machine in the world for yourself.

XtremeMac Tango TRX Review

, Nov 25th 2011 Discuss [6]

The iPod dock by the name of XtremeMac Tango TRX has been out for some time now, having been first announced all the way back in 2010, but it’s no worse for wear with the 2011 holiday season rapidly approaching, and since we’ve never had a look at it before and there’s a brand new bit of functionality now with Google Music out of beta, let’s have a look, shall we? This device comes with several parts – first being the main speaker complete with iPod dock which can house anything from the tiniest iPod to the iPad 2, though I wouldn’t recommend the latter as it does block a bit of the sound blast and isn’t exactly held the most securely in place. Then there’s the bit that makes this whole thing unique: the second docking station, one that allows you to charge the device on one side of the house while the speaker jams music out at the other.

Batman: Arkham City PC Review

, Nov 25th 2011 Discuss [24]

When you speak about Batman: Arkham City, you speak about not only the next chapter in a line of games that’ve redefined the superhero genre of video games, but have taken the ultra-immersive nature of the detective / puzzle solving game and have made it intuitive enough to be enjoyable for all – and the graphics are absolutely unmatched. What we’ve got here is a rig provided by NVIDIA to test this game specifically, an Alienware M17xR3 gaming laptop with a GeForce GTX 580 DirectX 11 GPU inside, this along with the newest set of NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 wireless 3D glasses. It’s a very GREEN situation, needless to say, and playing the most advanced game on the market with the most impressive graphics processor on the planet, this is almost a no-brainer.

Warpia StreamHD Review

, Nov 24th 2011 Discuss [2]

Right this moment you are two USB dongles and a handful of simple clicks away from displaying your computer’s display on your HDTV, no questions asked. What we’ve got here is the Warpia StreamHD wireless HD media transmitter and right out of the box you’ll be able to plug in and make it happen, just so long as you’re using a Windows computer and your television is able to work with HDMI, as all good high definition televisions should be these days. Take a look here at how neat this little setup is and how you, yes you, can now watch Netflix on your non-internet television without the heinous acts of purchasing an Xbox or an iPad 2. Of course if you’ve got those, then there’s no reason for this, right? Wrong, mister, there’s so many things you could do with this little set of gadgets that it’s unreal.

Desk Pets Tankbot Review

, Nov 24th 2011 Discuss [0]

When it comes to radio-controlled miniature vehicles, essentially everything has been done over the past couple of decades – but low and behold, citizens, there is more to be done, and the tiniest of intelligences is going to do it: the TankBot. What we’ve got here is a couple of TankBots, both of them of the same lovely two tracks and one big ol’ windshield model, and a smartphone per machine that’ll control them from on high. What you’re going to see here is that for under $30 USD, you can have such a tiny explosion of fun that only your dog will know for sure.

Acer Veriton Z2620G all-in-one PC Review

, Nov 24th 2011 Discuss [3]

The brand new Acer Veriton Z2620G is a lovely all-in-one machine that’s meant to look nice on your desktop at home or in the office. What you’ll notice in this machine that sets it aside from the rest of the pack is its ability to impress even before the cool green-lit on button is pressed. You’ll be running Windows 7 professional out of the box, but what you get when you run it is so so much more. This isn’t the highest spec-having computer in the world, but it’s definitely worth a double-take look for the cash it costs. Is this your new desktop computer for the next 2 years or so? Let’s have a look!

Android Ice Cream Sandwich review

, Nov 21st 2011 Discuss [71]

Android has come of age. Google’s smartphone platform may have already taken the top spot for handset market share, but it arguable did that despite, not because, of the underlying Android user experience. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, however, promises to change all that: a comprehensive refresh bringing both smartphones and tablets under the same umbrella, and demonstrating that Google can deliver software just as cohesive and compelling as Apple can. Laudable goals, but can the search giant deliver? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Galaxy Nexus Review

, Nov 21st 2011 Discuss [115]

A new Nexus is a big deal in Android land, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has plenty to live up to. As close to an official Googlephone as we ever get, they demonstrate not just how Android’s creators think smartphone development should progress, but set the benchmark by which the platform as a whole is compared to rivals like the iPhone. The Galaxy Nexus brings with it Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and some of Samsung’s finest hardware: do the two add up to the best smartphone on the market today? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Samsung DoubleTime Review

, Nov 18th 2011 Discuss [7]

Android and Samsung have such an all-encompassing strategy going on as of late that every tier of the smartphone market is saturated with a combination of the two, from the top all the way to the bottom – a good example of how to do the bottom RIGHT is in the device you see here, the Samsung DoubleTime. What we’re going to compare this device to are a few other similarly-stacked devices on AT&T, but you’ll understand before the end of this that AT&T’s selection of Android devices relies so heavily on top-tier smartphones that the Samsung DoubleTime may well have a market to do well in. Imagine that!

Philips Fidelio AS851 Review

, Nov 18th 2011 Discuss [4]

Android speaker docks are comparatively rare beasts. Several manufacturers offer models specifically tailored for their own handsets, but the market for generic docks has failed to ignite in the same way as iPhone and iPod peripherals have flourished. Philips reckons that’s all down to USB port differences, and has come up with a clever FlexiDock system for its new Fidelio Android speaker dock range. We’ve had the top-spec Philips Fidelio AS851 in the SlashGear jazz lounge and boudoir for a while now; is it boom or bust? Check out the full review after the cut.

Samsung Captivate Glide review

, Nov 17th 2011 Discuss [14]

When it comes to releasing new devices, Samsung and the rest of the manufacturer bunch doesn’t always aim for the top of the ladder – case in point, the Samsung Captivate Glide, a dual-core smartphone with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and a slide-out keyboard. This device is being released on AT&T’s 4G network (not LTE, mind you, just regular ol’ 4G) and is currently one of the only dual-core smartphones with a keyboard on the market. If we turn away from the keyboard for a moment and focus on the rest of the device, I think you’ll find that while this handset certainly doesn’t seem to be up to the task of beating down the very top of the pack of smartphones out today, it’s certainly a wrestler for the dual-core lovers of you out there in AT&T Land.
