"Touch screen phones are hitting the market left and right these days, but not all of them can provide the performance, features and ease of use that we all want and need. This LG Chocolate Touch VX8575 cell phone that I got for my wife was very cool at first but then got really frustrating really fast."

When you think about a webcam, what comes to mind? I know most of us will recognise the typical web camera’s that have become very popular over the years. Basically consisting of a small bubble shaped camera on top of a small, wobbly, unstable stand. The balancing act of having the camera on top of your monitor, or on a stack of CD’s and books to try and get that perfect angle is much more than just a hassle. Though fortunately our good friends at IPEVO have come up with a nifty, possibly Pixar inspired webcam that takes care of all these problems, and offers much, much more! Going by the name of “Point 2 View” (P2V) this USB camera lets you do exactly that, point it where ever you like, to show just about anything, at almost any angle possible!

HTPC is something that is getting into every house these days, but what if you don't want a big computer by your TV? There are several small media players on the market that can stream the content to your TV so you don't have to have a bulky computer hooked up to it. Patriot Box Office is one of these devices and we recieved one of them for a review, we are going to see how this device handles various formats such as; images and music so stick around to see what we think about it.

iXBT Labs Review: DFI LANParty DK 790X-M2RS Motherboard

Excerpt: "This motherboard produces mixed impressions. On the one hand, we have found out that modern products from DFI, including the mid-end DK series, still offer high technical quality. On the other hand, if the company decided to cater for overclockers, they should have done it properly."

We have seen many factory-overclocked cards from different vendors, but most of these cards just push the GPU/MEM clocks using reference design hardware. Once in a while, a cards pop up like this Gigabyte SOC card which deviates from the group and packs a whole lot more punch then what other vendors can offer.

"Being a tech-savvy computer user in today’s society generally involves reinstalling your own Operating System and / or another persons. Ok… So I’ve been working with computers ever since I was about 7 years old. I remember the first thing my dad introduced me to was MS-DOS… Ok at 7 years old, let’s be honest, MS-DOS is not that impressive, but that is not why I would spent hours of my time on the computer."

AMD Phenom II Black Edition CPU's have been a popular choice for enthusiasts and budget-conscious overclockers lately, and Benchmark Reviews decided it was time to focus on AMD in one of our Best CPU Cooler Performance series. In this preview article, Benchmark Reviews tests several CPU coolers on the AM3 socket for the AMD Phenom-II platform. An overclocked AMD Phenom II X4 965 "Black Edition" processor was used (original 125W version), and given a heart-warming 1.55 volts to the vCore so it could reach 4000MHz (4GHz) stable. The heat produced at 1.55V caused at least one product to earn high marks in our tests, while another fell so far below respectible performance that it pains us to expose it.

We're going to take a look at the ASUS EEE PC 701SD; a "classic" netbook being sold as a refurb by Geeks.com. While the EEE line-up is now a few years old, it is still extremely popular. Newer models might offer better specifications, but they will also come with higher price tags that will put them in the ball park with some cheap laptops.

With the launch of Clarkdale by Intel, they have finally released a Nehalem for the masses, the Core i3 and i5 variations with integrated graphics are a direct competitor to the market segment currently held by AMD Phenom and Athlon CPUs. In this article we compare the performance of the IGP on the Intel Core i5 661 to and AMD system with 785G chipset.

Own a Mac, but require the use of Windows from time to time? With today's robust virtualization solutions, there are far better alternatives than rebooting with Bootcamp or using emulation. VMware's Fusion 3 is one of these, and we put it to the test to see if it's worth its $80 price tag, and also whether or not free alternatives are the more attractive choice.

The CRU-DataPort SecureDock is definitely a unique product. This is not your average external hard drive enclosure! Offering both USB 2.0 and eSATA connectivity, the SecureDock manages to do what it says and does so extremely quickly as our testing shows - especially if you use the eSATA interface. In terms of encryption, the device is very easy to use. There is no software to install and everything is seamless. The lock-and-key system and mini-USB style security keys work well as well. My favorite feature has to be the fact that you can use any SATA hard drive with the SecureDock; you're not limited to just the 500 GB unit that comes with it.

Quote "Today we are taking a look at the XFX Radeon HD5750 1GB graphics card. This card has lightning fast performance with a low power output, requiring only one 6 pin PCI-Express adapter. It also has the latest DirectX11 technology as well as supporting ATI Eyefinity among other features."

We just finished our latest review. This time we took a closer look at Razer's Imperator Gaming Mouse. From the article: "Ever since the first appearance of gaming mice, Razer has without a doubt been one of the largest names. Ever since their first models they've been pumping out successful models one after another, and this time their newcomer - the Imperator - came to our tests."

“Before I attempted to install the sticky rubbery tape thingy, I mean the "heat absorbing material", I thought there really wasn't anything to this product. It was basically an aluminum slab with some plastic ends. However introduce the sticky pad thingy and we've got a whole new animal. The sticky pad was easy to apply to the unit, however then you need to peel off the top adhesive protector. That's where the problem starts. There was no way to remove it without messing it up. It just wanted to peel off the main unit. This is by far the worst product add-on that I have had the displeasure of working with. I honestly can't believe VIZO would attempt to pass this headache onto the customer. It shows their failure to design and engineer some grippy material into the unit itself. I tried to use the EZ-Surf without the sticky pad and it honestly shot right out from underneath my laptop letting it crash to the table. It's that slick (plastic and aluminum) without it. The angled and smooth edges don't help, they only hurt that problem.”

Tritton is kicking off 2010 with some brand new usb to video devices such as the MWX 300. They've been in the usb to video market since 2003 with their own patented chipset. The new mini dock allows a netbook to expand into a full size workstation by just using a single usb port on the netbook or a laptop. Coupled with Microsoft's launch of Windows MultiPoint Server 2010, Tritton's devices allow a single PC with the OS loaded to have up to ten sessions form a single computer. Each session is a seperate Windows 7 experience with their own settings, files, partition on the hard drive, and work station. This kind of technology eliminates the need for multiple power hungry machines, increasing a company's overall energy efficiency easily, and cheaply; all that's needed is a single USB port per work station.

On the gaming end of Tritton's product lineup, Tritton is featuring their high quality headsets. The AX 180 is a high performance stereo headset, which is fully compatible with PS3 and Xbox 360. It also features a detachable microphone and individual volume controls. The next in the line-up is the AX 720 at $129.99 which supports Dobly Digital and DTS creating the ultimate virtual surround sound experience. It has a break away cable that will eventually have an addon support to make the same headset wireless. The AX 720 also has interchangable high quality skins to personalize the headset to the user's tastes which will be available on their website for $19.99.

Lastly, Tritton is featuring the AX Pro for 2010. It features excellent sound quality with dedicated center, front, and rear channels, as well as a dedicated subwoofer. The volume control allows the user to adjust each of the 4 drivers seperately as well as time delay and dynamic range control. This enables the user to control every last detail of the listening experience. What makes Tritton stand out is that they try to think different, and engineer from the ground up. Their design philosophy is evident at every point in their product range. From the AX 180 to the AX Pro Tritton has an excellent line-up of high quality headsets for 2010. Add to that, they've begun selling through Best Buy retail stores and Tritton is in excellent position for the new year.{aseadnetadblock|NOSHOWAD|NOSHOWAD}

Usually we present you here on DeXgo.com products, which are relatively new on the market. An exception represents our current Review, in which we a true classical author under the CCU radiators, whom Thermalright IFX-14 want to test. Despite its already age of over two years, nearly Biblical for a radiator, the IFX-14 lies with many buyers in the favour and also still as a reference in the segment is still called. In our current test we want to examine, as good the radiator, in the comparison to the current elite, are really still. How the Thermalright IFX-14 struck itself, experience you on the following pages.

With the advent of Intel releasing the LGA 1156 socket ASUS has launched nothing short of 17 different socket 1156 motherboards based on the newer P55 chipset. We decided to take this time to look at one of the more elite socket 1156 motherboards from ASUS, the P7P55D featuring SATA III, SLI and Crossfire, a remote for overclocking and a 48 Hybrid Phase cooling design. All together the P7P55D looks to be a mighty board but does it have true substance or is it just another board for ASUS to add to the market? Join me while I investigate and test the new ASUS the P7P55D Premium.

Many have or are looking at setting up a home server to store media files, backups, maybe even set an FTP server and print server. But for home use, a dedicated server for this use is really overkill. Sure, one can use excess hardware, or a previous main system as a server, but the extra desk space and electricity consumed can add up quickly. Patriot’s Gear Box gives all these services while small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

"The P7P55D EVO motherboard from ASUS I am going to test in this review is not the final design, it has some modifications compared to the retail board but the main features are still there. Let’s take a look at the review and see what ASUS has to offer with this P55 platform motherboard."

SteelSeries 5H v2 headset Review @ XtremeComputing

"The new processors have a greal potential for price cuts, especially as their process technology matures. The second important benefit is original architectural features which let dual-core processors feel all right among quad-core ones. The third benefit is that the new processors are actually new. Their rollout will allow the company to introduce proper order in its market share, because three similar chipsets is too much."
