SlashGear Week In Review - Week 13 2009
This week on SlashGear, we had some great articles, taking a look at some exciting new products, and one of us got to experience Beverly Hills pampering during his trip to visit DreamWorks and HP. I had the chance to review Apple's newest button-less wonder, the iPod Shuffle 3rd Generation. It's a great sounding mp3 player with some quirks that may take some time to get used to.Apple and AT&T are selling iPhones contract free for those who don't want to be chained down for two years on contract, or for those that have an extra few hundred dollars lying around.
We took a look at DreamWorks' "Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D" as well as the HP computers used to produce the film. The progress DreamWorks has made amazing progress in the production and rendering of frames, and the number of machines and equipment required to generate the 3D frame is mind blowing.
We also reviewed the BeamBox Evolution 1 Pico-Projector, a new portable projector that uses standard A/V inputs to turn any wall into a movie screen. Hit the link for his impressions.
I got to get my hands on the new Nokia 7205 Intrigue from Verizon Wireless. We unboxed the shiny new clamshell, so hit up the link for a video and first impressions.
