With Clamshell Case and Handle iCapsule iPad Wireless Keyboard like iBook G3

It had candy similar to colors on its clamshell cover, and a grip so you can carry it around without a case. I had a fondness used for that iBook G3. The keyboard + case + handle combo concept of the iCapsule is reminiscent of that design.

The propose was establish as an FCC patent application, so we probably will not see the iCapsule on the shelves anytime soon. But if and once-it ever gets released, it will be a clamshell case that will give laptop like functionality to the iPad.

You get a slot used for your iPad, along with a wireless keyboard to connects to the iPad via Bluetooth. The keyboard itself is powered by a set of AA batteries. The iPad can evidently be inserted in a landscape or portrait orientation, used for flexibility.

No word on pricing so far, but the iCapsule will be accepted under the RocketFish brand, which means it will expected be sold by Best Buy.

For Xbox 360 Sells 1 Million Units In 10 Days! Microsoft ‘Kinect’ Motion Sensor

The revolutionary activity sensor introduced by Microsoft known as ‘Kinect’ exclusively used for its premium gaming console Xbox 360 has already sold over 1 Million units during 10 days from its launch. Dozens considered to the Kinect sensor is an overpriced accessory before these figures, but its complete sell out at every one the main retailers during US says otherwise. If this were to continue, Microsoft could sell over 5 Million units by the end of 2010 which definitely outsells some other activity controller available in the market!

We are appreciative of the response we have seen from consumers that has culminated in sales of more than 1 Million units during the first 10 days on the market used for Kinect used for Xbox 360. This is a great start to the holiday season, and we will continue to work using our retailer partners to keep pace using high demand and deliver against our plan that sell more than 5 Million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year.”

Wow! this figure could even double or more with the release of some hardcore titles similar to Star Wars with a lightsaber during your hand. Star Wars game however is due that be released in 2011. Till then, Kinect aims at mostly the non-hardcore gamers with titles such since Kinect Adventures, Kinect Joy Ride with Kinectimals. If you already own one or more of these titles with a Kinect sensor, perform share your knowledge using us in the comments section below!

Android Phone as a Remote For YouTube on Your Computer

For ages, YouTube-watching posture was essentially this: slumping forward over your computer and squinting your eyes at a clip. But Google’s been trying to make things more comfortable, first with Leanback and now with the YouTube Remote app for Android.

The new app, YouTube Remote, pairs Android devices with any screen playing YouTube Leanback, be it a TV set via Google TV or just a trusty old computer. Then you can search for videos on your phone, beam them to Leanback, and control their playback right from your smartphone. Setting it up’s a snap:

YouTube Remote creates a virtual connection between your phone and YouTube Leanback. To ‘pair’ your phone with your Leanback screen, simply sign into YouTube Remote on your Android phone, and to YouTube Leanback on your Google TV or computer with the same YouTube account.

AMD Radeon HD 6870

When it was announced in late 2009, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 ushered in a trifecta of key graphics-card innovations. Along with the concurrently launched Radeon HD 5850, it was the first card to support DirectX 11 for improved graphics in next-generation games. With DisplayPort, DVI, and HDMI connectors, it allowed users to connect up to three screens to one card for more-immersive gaming. Plus, its impressive raw performance made it the most powerful single-chip graphics card on the market—until, that is, rival Nvidia launched its first DirectX 11 card, the beastly GeForce GTX 480, in early 2010.

Now, roughly a year after the launch of the Radeon HD 5870, AMD has put to bed the ATI brand that it has been using since acquiring the graphics-chip company in 2006, and it's rolling out a pair of second-generation DirectX 11 graphics cards: the AMD Radeon HD 6870, and the AMD Radeon HD 6850. While the more-mainstream Radeon HD 5700-series graphics cards will continue to be manufactured and sold, AMD says that the HD 6800-series cards will replace its Radeon HD 5800 series. This last move may seem surprising once we get to our performance-benchmark tests, but first let’s tackle what’s new with these cards.

First of all, with 3D movies breaking records in theaters and 3D HDTVs finding their way into early adopters’ living rooms, AMD has finally added support for true 3D (in this case, stereoscopic 3D) gaming with this latest line of cards, as well as support for 3D Blu-ray. Nvidia has had its own GeForce 3D Vision kit available for its graphics cards since early 2009. But while Nvidia’s 3D technology uses active (that is, powered) shutter glasses, necessitating expensive, bulky frames and a USB breakout box to make it all work, ATI’s 3D-gaming technology, dubbed HD3D, uses passive glasses, which should be less costly and less bulky. This is the same technology used in a few recent 3D-centric monitors, such as the Zalman ZM-M240W Trimon display we tested this summer. (Some 3D HDTVs are also supported).

Gateway One ZX6810-01

The recent rash of cheap, underpowered all-in-one (AIO) “nettop” PCs powered by Intel’s Atom processor (such as Lenovo’s C300) or AMD’s low-voltage CPUs (like the MSI Wind Top AE2010-02SUS) has lowered our expectations of just what a typical all-in-one is capable of. Those systems, after all, aren’t capable of much more than basic productivity apps, standard-definition video playback, and Web browsing. They can’t even handle Hulu.com playback without stuttering. So when Gateway’s One ZX6810-01 arrived in our labs, we were initially impressed by its large 23-inch, 1080p (1,920x1,080) screen, but we weren’t expecting to be blown away by the PC's performance.

As soon as we started testing the PC and perusing its hardware list, however, we realized that the ZX6810-01 was a different beast entirely. Underneath its unassuming glossy black plastic shell, this system is arguably, as of this writing, the most powerful all-in-one PC on the planet. The $1,399 model we tested houses a four-core, 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Quad 8200 CPU, 8GB of DDR3 memory, and a surprisingly capable Radeon HD 4670 graphics card (much more on that later). Plus, it had a 64GB Samsung solid-state drive (SSD) for programs and the OS (Windows 7 Home Premium), and a 1TB hard drive (huge for an AIO) for media storage. Other much-appreciated extras include a TV tuner and remote, a multi-touch-capable touch screen, and a wireless keyboard and mouse. About the only component this system seems to lack is a Blu-ray drive—the slot-loading optical drive is, sadly, a plain-old DVD±RW.

Apple iPod Touch (Fourth Generation, 2010 Version)

The Apple iPod Touch, since its release in 2007, has ruled the portable-media-player waves like Britannia. It's by far the best designed, most feature-packed, and easiest-to-use media device on the market. But now that Apple's iPhone and iPad have so successfully edged in on its domain, does the iPod Touch still have a viable place in the media-consumption market? We would answer that question with a resounding yes. To an extent, the new iPod Touch is the iPad, but even more portable. And it's the iPhone, without the worry of reception issues (and not, entirely, without the phone). To put it simply: The 2010 iPod Touch is as close to perfection as any portable media player has come yet.

That may sound like a bold statement, but look at what the iPod Touch can do. The iPod started off merely as a music player, and the iPod Touch's siblings, the iPod Shuffle and iPod nano, still serve basically that purpose alone. The iPod Touch, however, has morphed into a music player, a video player and recorder, a tiny tablet, a gaming device, an organizational tool, and much more. And with its connection to the Apple App Store, it can serve an endless panoply of purposes, all navigated by a super-streamlined interface on a gorgeous. multi-touch screen. What's most impressive of all: This functionality all fits into a sliver that easily tucks into your back pocket, leaving nary a bump. And in this iteration, we get a slimmer design, a better screen, a faster processor, and excellent new features that include an HD video recorder and the ability to make video calls.

Gateway LT2120u

A netbook with a low price and competitive performance is worth celebrating. Add good looks and long battery life to the mix, and you’ve got yourself a worthwhile PC. Throw in some of the best Flash video playback we've seen on a netbook, and the final product is a winner. All these reasons make the $349.99 LT2120u one of our favorite netbooks this year.

The Gateway LT21 series comes in three configurations, distinguished by color: the red LT2118u; the black LT2119u; and the white LT2120u, which we tested. This netbook's sleek-yet-sensible design is professional-looking, while still managing to turn a few heads. Proportioned like its netbook competitors, the Gateway LT2120u measures 1x10.2x7.3 inches. At a wispy 2.8 pounds, this PC will travel well, without requiring you to get a massage the following day. The lid’s textured wave pattern is protected by a layer of clear glossy plastic that is easy to keep clean. The all-white keyboard stands out against the silvery plastic bezel and palm rests, both designed to look like brushed aluminum. Located to the left of the white battery bump is a unique power button, embedded into a glossy square of silver plastic and backlit by blue LEDs.

Occupying the edges of the chassis are the usual selection of netbook ports, including a five-format flash-card reader (compatible with the SD, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, and xD-PictureCard formats), three USB ports, a VGA-out port, and an Ethernet jack. As for Internet connectivity, in addition to the Ethernet jack, you also get 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. The LT2120u does not come with Bluetooth, despite the presence of a Bluetooth activation key. Embedded into the glossy screen bezel is a VGA Webcam (the resolution is 0.3-megapixel) that captures accurate skin tones when taking still images but blurs motion video. The Webcam’s sensor is overly sensitive, so waving your hand across the screen during recording causes drastic light fluctuations

Apple Magic Trackpad

In the fall of 2009, Apple released the Magic Mouse, an input device that has many similarities to the Multi-Touch trackpad on the company's line of Macbook Pro laptops: the same touch-sensitive body, and the same ability to use the swiping and inertia-based scrolling familar to anyone owning an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. It was as if Apple had taken the trackpad off of its MacBooks and made it into a mouse. Well, with the new Magic Trackpad, that's exactly what Apple did.

Measuring about 5 inches wide and 4 inches deep, the $69 Magic Trackpad is about 80 percent bigger than the Multi-Touch trackpad on a MacBook Pro laptop. In classic minimalist Apple style, there's not much to describe here design-wise. The body is slightly elevated at the back, by a cylinder in which the batteries are stored, causing this device to resemble the Apple Wireless Keyboard that ships with its iMacs. The bottom is covered in white plastic with an Apple logo in the middle. Two anti-slip grips hold the Magic Trackpad in place at the two corners below the batteries.

On top, you'll find the silver glass pad where all the action happens. You turn the device on by pressing a power button on the right side of the body. When powered on, a small green light shines in the upper right corner of the pad. On the other side is a twist-to-release door for the batterie

Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse

Computer mice—specifically, really small computer mice—have suddenly gotten a bit complicated. That’s because the moniker “mobile mice,” used to describe mice for use on the go, is no longer sufficient. "True" mobile mice (tiny mice made for use while you travel, like the Editors’ Choice-winning SwiftPoint) do exist, but now, so do big mice that shrink for carrying anywhere—like the subject of this review.

Microsoft’s Arc Touch Mouse, already termed by one wag “the Gumby mouse,” isn’t particularly small—it requires the same space to use as any conventional desktop mouse. It’s mobile, though, because it snaps flat when you’re not using it. That’s its main plus; we weren’t as enamored with how it felt, or its material makeup. (The Arc Touch will ship in early December 2010 for $69.95; Amazon.com, Best Buy, and Buy.com currently have it available for preorder.)

Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Review

Adobe’s latest iteration of its consumer video-editing program, Premiere Elements 9, isn’t as heavy on completely new features as its photo-editing equivalent, Photoshop Elements 9. Its enhanced video-sharing features, audio-cleanup tools, and improved import feature are welcome additions to the program, but alone they probably don’t justify the cost of upgrading from the

previous version. However, Photoshop Elements has seen major enhancements under the hood that make it faster, more responsive, and best of all, stable. Stability has been an issue with this program for a long time, and with its rich feature set and now-reliable operation, we can finally recommend Premiere Elements to newcomers and upgraders alike.

As with the previous version, Premiere Elements imports virtually all popular video formats, including AVCHD and HDV high-def video, as well as DV and other standard-definition formats. New to version 9 is support for direct import from the popular Flip video cameras and a number of digital SLR models.

AMD Phenom II X6 1075T

AMD’s first pair of six-core CPUs, the $285 Phenom II X6 1090T and the $200 Phenom II X6 1055T, both debuted in April 2010, and neither was exactly cheap. But compared with Intel’s sole six-core CPU as of this writing, the $1,000 Core i7-980X (which launched a month earlier), AMD’s offerings looked downright thrifty.

That remains true today with AMD’s latest six-core offering. The Phenom II X6 1075T, at $245, falls right between the company’s two previous six-core CPUs. At those prices, it’s not a surprise that AMD’s six-core chips don’t run as fast as Intel’s ultimate CPU speed demon. What is a surprise, though, is just how good these chips are, considering they're around a quarter of the price. With features like dynamic CPU clock speeds and compatibility with existing AM3 systems, these three chips further cement AMD’s clear hegemony in terms of both upgradability and performance for the dollar. Intel still holds a strong lead in ultimate performance, but in our tests, the Phenom II X6 1075T performed quite close to Intel’s quad-core Core i7-870, which (as of this writing, in mid-September 2010), sold for roughly $40 more.

Malibal Nine X7200

With its six-core Core i7 Extreme processor, dual Nvidia SLI graphics chips, and pair of solid-state drives configured for RAID, the Malibal Nine X7200 is as tricked out as laptops come. Not surprisingly, this desktop-replacement notebook blows the competition away in terms of performance, and it has more features than you can shake a stick at. You don’t get much in the way of battery life, however, and its huge 13-pound chassis will keep you close to home. The price starts at $2,610 for a base configuration, but our fully loaded review system will take a massive $5,325 bite out of your bank account. But if you want the fastest notebook ever, it doesn't come cheap.

If you have only about $2,000 to spend, you can get this system with a 3.06GHz Core i7-950, 6GB of RAM, one Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M graphics card, and a 320GB standard hard drive. But configuration options abound in all of those categories, with storage being the one we're most concerned with. Our test configuration came with two 80GB solid-state drives (SSDs), which left us with only 160GB of total storage—fast, but hardly enough to store games and videos. However, you can equip your system with up to three standard 5,400rpm hard drives at 640GB each. If you kept the rest of the configuration the same as our tested config, you could choose this option for a total price of $4,554, or a savings of $771. (Of course, these slower drives would affect performance.)

Processor: 3.33GHz Intel Core i7-980X Extreme
Memory: 12GB RAM
Storage: Dual 80GB solid-state drives
Optical Drive : Blu-ray burner/DVD±RW combo
Screen: 17.3 inches (1,920x1,080 native resolution)
Graphics: Dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 480M cards (2GB each)
Weight: 12.8 pounds
Dimensions (HWD): 2.4x16.5x11.3 inches
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)

The Malibal Nine X7200 uses the sturdy Clevo X7200 chassis, which is done up in a black, brushed-aluminum finish. A slice of smoked mirror trim bisects the lid and has a backlit pattern in its center. This system is huge, measuring 2.4x16.5x11.3 inches, and at just under 13 pounds, it’s one of the heaviest notebooks around. If necessity forces you to take it on the road, a rolling suitcase is probably in order. And you’ll have to make room for the gargantuan power brick, which measures 2.7x8x4.4 inches and adds 3.6 pounds to your total travel weight. The power brick alone weighs more than most netbooks do.

SPARKLE Launched its Latest Graphics Card GeForce GTS 450

ViewPad 7 and 10 by ViewSonic Coming to USA

ViewSonic’s heavy foray into the tablet market has been no secret, but we’ve been a bit uncertain as to where on the map its products would land. Until now that is. According to ViewSonic’s American team, the company will be kicking off its US tablet invasion with the ViewPad 7 in November. Just as we’d heard, the 7-inch device packs an Snapdragon processor, Android 2.2, two cameras (a 3 megapixel cam on its rear and a VGA front facing one), 512MB of memory and 3G capabilities. Sure, it sounds a heck of a lot like the rest of the other Android tablets we’ve been seeing, but according to ViewSonic this one will most definitely have access to the Google Market and come preloaded with Google’s apps. Well, that’s a horse of a different color, though its $479 MSRP seems a bit high to us.

What about the ViewSonic fans out there that have been eyeing the Android 1.6 / Win 7 dual-booting ViewPad 10, you ask? Well, they’ll have to wait until the first quarter of 2011 to get their hands on that one, though at least that gives ‘em time to save up the $629 that it’s expected to retail for. We should note here, that the View Pad 10 is identical in design to the Tega v2 we recently reviewed and similar in specs — it has a 1.66GHz Atom processor, 16GB SSD, 1GB of RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium. We’re still unsure where the 10-inch, Android 2.2 G-Tablet that was recently spotted in a Sears circular fits in, but we’re definitely getting the hint thatViewsonic’s in it to win it with tablets.
