MobiBlue Cube 3 – even smaller-er

James Allan Brady, Apr 8th 2008 Discuss [0]

This is the successor to the Cube 2 and will hopefully have a better user interface as that was one of CNet’s main complaints of the Cube 2. It still has the OLED screen, FM Tuner, and 2GB of storage space. This player also has support for MP3 and WMA formats which makes it PlaysForSure compatible. Other than the relatively low storage capacity, possibly difficult to navigate UI, there is the $99 price that you’ll have to get over. Read The Full Story

Sure, they play and record on Blu-Ray discs, and that’s cool, but that’s nothing compared to the touch-screen remotes that they come with. Both units also have internal hard drives built in. Read The Full Story

DVico TVIX Trash can shaped DVR almost as useful as R2-D2

James Allan Brady, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [0]

It’s an HD network multimedia play that is also a PVR and HDTV Tuner. It can playback HD (and I assume SD is no problem either) content from its hard drive, USB ports, or from any computer connected to it via the local area network. Read The Full Story

Cherry Picks 2008: Gibson Robot Guitar

James Allan Brady, Jan 6th 2008 Discuss [0]

Allow me to list just the technology stuffed in this thing that allows it to tune itself, there are locking servo powered tuners in the tuning keys, there is a CPU in the neck, which is all controlled by they Tune-Control Bridge, a Tune Core Controller, Data-Transmitting Tailpiece and much more. To tune it, automatically, obviously, because why would you buy this to tune it yourself, you select A440 tuning or there are 5 other presets.

HANNSpree XV GT LCD TV – budget range digital TVs

James Allan Brady, Nov 15th 2007 Discuss [0]

How digital are they? They come with a built in DVB-T tuner, this thing is so ready for the switch. However, if you live in the UK and want to get a new TV that prepares you for the switch, but you don’t have coverage of the digital signal yet, its ok, this TV still has an analog tuner too. The DVB-T tuner will support all the freeview channels, and you can go into interactive mode too, but no Freeview Playback support. Read The Full Story

Hitachi UT Series LCD TVs – Thin and light, but full of features

James Allan Brady, Nov 14th 2007 Discuss [0]

You don’t believe its thin and light? Well peep this, its 35mm thick, that’s a number, then for the lightness, look at the runway model carrying one and stopping to pose after strutting out with the screen in hand. I am pretty sure a good sign of something being light is how easily a runway model can carry eat and still look good. Part of the reason its so light is because they’ve separated the actual screen, and all the other junk that usually comes built into back/side of the TVs. Read The Full Story
