EDotSquare Laptop Cases – pretty and sturdy
For the past few months I have been toting around one of EDotSquare’s laptop cases. It has been safely protecting my 13” MacBook. This is not generally a simple task since I am not always the most graceful person. If it can last through me, it can last through just about anything.
SlashGear Review: T-Mobile SideKick LX
Alright, so I got the Sidekick LX the other day, and I have been playing with it for a while. The people at T-Mobile were great and sent me the device to toy around with, sadly the service where I live is shoddy at best, but the city where I go to school has great service, so I got to really test it out up there.
First off, let me state that I have never even seen a Sidekick before this one, so, this won’t be a review comparing this Sidekick to other previous Sidekicks, this will be a review about this Sidekick model, with comparisons to other devices I have used where applicable. Let me start by saying that this may not be the best phone if have ever had my hands on, but it is the best everything-else device I have had my hands on.
More fret pounding fun with Guitar Hero III
RedOctane was kind enough to send us the newest entry to their Guitar Hero franchise, Guitar Hero III. After many hours of co-op, boss battles and blisters, I can say that Guitar Hero III fills my music infused video game fix more than Dance Dance Revolution ever could.

SlashGear Review: Philips’ VOIP841 dual-mode Skype DECT phone
Here at SlashGear we’ve generally given pretty short shrift to VOIP handsets: all too often they miss the point of their very purpose, to take internet calling out of the realm of the geeky and into the hands of the general public. Common errors include requiring a USB connection to an attached PC rather than a standalone ethernet hookup, or using WiFi but only supporting unsecured networks which usually means hotspots such as found in Starbucks and elsewhere won’t let you log on. So when Philips asked us to try out their VOIP841, a combination DECT and Skype phone, it seemed only fair to not warn them of our harsh standards and instead see how well the sleek black handset lived up to some high expectations.
SlashGear Review: O2′s minimalist Cocoon cellphone
Cocoon, if you remember, was a film about a bunch of cantankerous elderly people who discovered the alien key to prolonging their life; with that horrible thought in mind, I grudgingly agreed to review O2 UK’s Cocoon cellphone, fearing that at any moment a trio of elderly men might leap out and deliver a touching message about not marginalising the old. Thankfully, O2 have been a little more up-to-date with their latest own-brand handset, and while it’s nowhere near perfect have still managed to inject it with a bit more life than some rivals.
SlashGear Review – Toshiba Qosmio F45
I’ve had the opportunity to use the Qosmio F45 for a little while now, and it’s come time for me to let you guys know just how this machine performs. As with many of my reviews, I’m not going to focus on benchmarks as I am actual usability, because lets face it, that’s what really matters.
