SlashGear Review – VisionTek XG6 Gaming Mouse

, Sep 12th 2007 Discuss [1]

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.

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

, Sep 7th 2007 Discuss [17]

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.

Apple + Starbucks = Music with your coffee

Everyone knows that you can’t walk outside without seeing a Starbucks. Just the other day I was hiking through a woods, and what did I find? A brand-new freaking Starbucks.

iPod Touch – No, that’s not an iPhone in my pocket

Man, HTC is going to be pissed. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will be excited. Steve just unveiled the iPod Touch. You know, sometimes I wish I didn’t hear all of these rumors ahead of time, then I’d probably be even more excited when he lifts the curtain on these things.

iPod Touch

The iPod Touch looks awesome. We’re getting the same multi-touch interface that we love on the iPhone like the Home screen, as well as some of the apps like Calender, Clock and Contacts. The big story though is WiFi. The iPod finally has WiFi. On a screen that sexy, you know that they had to include the web browser, and even YouTube.
