Cellphones have dominated our week here at SlashGear, with a number of much-anticipated handsets finally showing up for some play. We’ve reviewed HTC’s Touch Pro and unboxed the RIM BlackBerry Bold, but perhaps the most exciting arrival was the HTC Touch HD.

Iomega StorCenter ix2 NAS Review – 1TB Edition

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 28th 2008 No Comments

Backup isn’t generally seen as glamorous, and the Iomega StorCenter ix2 is unlikely to change that perception. A sober gray box, the ix2 is as compact as dual 3.5-inch SATA-II hard-drives will let it be. However inside there lurks an iTunes-compatible media server, printer sharing facility and optional CCTV recording and Bluetooth file transfers, all for a competitive entry price. Can the StorCenter ix2’s hidden charms change our mind about the unbearable dullness of archiving?

iOmega StorCenter ix2 NAS server is Bluetooth-friendly

By Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Oct 15th 2008 No Comments

storcenter ix2 nhd 270x215 The iOmega StorCenter ix2 NAS server was announced today and it’s getting a bit of Bluetooth support, though not as much as many would have liked to see.

In fact, the new NAS server can only really be described as “Bluetooth-friendly,” which means it will support some USB Bluetooth dongles. You would have to pay extra for the dongle, though it would allow you to send files and such from your mobile devices straight to the server for backing up or for sharing with others.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 33 2008

By Chris Davies on Sunday, Aug 17th 2008 No Comments

HP 8730w 8530w 2 More laptops, netbooks and mobile workstations than you could shake the proverbial stick at this week, with fresh offerings (and more than a few rumors) from many of the big companies. HP took the wraps off of three mobile workstations, complete with an amazing 17-inch DreamColor option, while Dell and Lenovo both had a version of their own. Dell went for pure specs, with a maximum 16GB of RAM in their Precision, while Lenovo took a more offbeat view and added a digitizer panel in their W700’s palmrest.

A little more compact, Dell launched their fourth generation Latitude E-series models, and SlashGear was in San Francisco to bring you live images. Dell’s attempt for the headlines included 19hr battery life (on one particular model) and Instant On functionality. All well and good, but Gateway perhaps just eases ahead in the bargain stakes with their new P-7811FX Centrino 2 gaming notebook.

By Daniel Lim on Wednesday, Aug 13th 2008 3 Comments

Anyone with a Digital Video Recorder is probably not a stranger to running out of storage space and being forced to delete old programs. What you may not be aware of is that there are a few products out there claiming to make expanding that storage straightforward: essentially a plug-n-play external hard drive to add capacity to your DVR. The Apricorn DVR Xpander and Western Digital My DVR Expander are two such examples, and here we have a new kid in town, the Iomega DVR Expander.
