Question and Answer at Apple Event

We have a video of the Q and A, its in processing, we will post it as soon as possible, but for now, we have a text summary below.

SlashGear at Apple event in London

First off, the one I, and likely everyone else, was most interested in, Why no 3G? Steve basically said they like their 8 hour battery life with EDGE, 3G drains that too much, so they are going to wait until they can get at least 5 or more hours of battery with a 3G chipset.

Unboxing – Apple iPod Touch

Remember back at the recent Apple event where the iPod Touch was announced? We were told that it would be a couple of weeks before we would see it on shelves. We’ve heard that it will be on sale starting the Friday after next (despite what Vincent may tell you in the video), however, we’ve already gotten ourselves one.

Vincent has been kind enough to take the time to record his unboxing for all the world to see. It’s not charged up yet, so you’ll have to check back for a full review a little later. Until then, enjoy the images and video.

SlashGear Review – VisionTek XG6 Gaming Mouse

I’ve had the opportunity to test out VisionTek’s XG6 gaming mouse for a little while now, and while I’d never really thought I’d need anything other than my trusty Logitech MX 700 for all my mousing needs, I’m starting to think otherwise.

VisionTek XG6 Gaming Mouse

You notice two things when you first set your hand upon the XG6. The first is that there are a ton of buttons, the second that there is some sort of strange plastic piece sticking out behind the mouse that your wrist rests on. I’ll admit that I tried to get used to that pad for some time, but I just couldn’t. Thankfully, this is a removable piece, so I’ve stowed it away in case I ever change my mind.

SlashGear Review: Samsin SBS-6600 Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Speakers

, Sep 10th 2007 Discuss [1]

Back in June, Samsin grabbed wireless Bluetooth speaker headlines (admittedly a pretty narrow niche) with their SBS-6600 set: two vaguely-triangular nuggets of Bluetooth-packing portable music with 1.2W per channel and the honour of being the “World’s First Completely Wireless Speakers”.  That’s right, no cable running either from them to your MP3 player or even between the speakers themselves.  Well, the guys at AdvancedMP3Players.co.uk were kind enough to send me a set to try out so that I could decide whether all those absent wires made for an absence of quality.

Opinion – What Microsoft must do now to compete against Apple’s new iPods

Realistically, Apple didn’t really need to do what it did on Wednesday to maintain its stronghold on the MP3 player market. After all, the iPod (in all of its variations) has something like a 75% market share. Other big names have attempted to challenge the iPod, but most simply could not compete against the marketing juggernaut headed by Steve Jobs.
