    Razer unveils first discrete 7.1 surround sound headset

    Razer’s at it again. After releasing their Electra headphones for the more budget minded gamer, they’ve now unleashed their more enthusiast minded Tiamat. Billed as the first, discrete 7.1 surround headset for truly serious gamers, the Tiamat packs a total of 10 discrete drivers, 5 in each circumaural ear cup to give you true pinpoint positional surround sound. As gamers ourselves, we can tell you that having a good headset is usually what separates you from being a good player to being on top of the leaderboard. There’s also going to be a 2.2 stereo surround sound version of the Tiamat, which we gather will have a lower price point. Speaking of price, it’s retailing overseas for about $179 (about Php 7900) a pop, though there’s no word on local pricing yet.

    The EDGR808 for iOS Emulates Roland’s Iconic Drum Machine

    After finding out about the flash drive that pays tribute to the classic Roland TR808, I was excited to discover a new app that emulates the classic vintage drum machine.

    Meet the EGDR808, developed by Elliott Garage for iOs devices. This new app has a 16-step sequencer, 12 programmable rhythm patterns,  and 4 fill presets with the ability to trigger auto-fills during playback. Users can also save their own patterns as well.

    Based on the screencaps and demo video, the interface looks amazingly realistic. However, what really matters most is the sonic quality, which initially sounds promising. We’ll have to see how it fares in a live performance or in-studio setting though.

    It looks like the EGDR808 has a lot of people excited though, since it’s already made it to iTunes’ top 10 musical apps after being released for only a week. After all, you can’t go wrong with trying out this app on your iPad or iPhone, since it only retails for $0.99 (approx. Php 42).

    Transcend outs shock resistant USB 3.0 portable HDD, hard drive abusers rejoice

    It doesn’t have to be said that you need to treat your portable hard drives like babies, if those babies were made of glass and contained important information that you could potentially lose your job over. But apparently there are still people who abuse their portable storage devices to the point of failure – at least there’s enough of a market for Transcend to release the Storejet 25A. Capable of holding a terabyte of data and protected by Transcend’s exclusive shock-absorbing suspension damper system, the Storejet 25A keeps your drive safe from accidental drops and impacts. Transcend’s offering two versions of the robust drive – one with USB 2.0 and one with the speedier, USB 3.0 standard.

    Optimus 3D teased, coming “soon”


    We got another press release about LG’s upcoming Optimus 3D, which promises glasses free 3D, smartphone style. The release highlighted a few of the unique features of the 3D smartphone, including LG’s unique tri-dual configuration — dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory (the Optimus 3D runs on a 1GHz Dual-Core Dual-Channel processor, Texas Instruments OMAP4) and 3D recording and playback at 720p (non-3D playback is possible on 1080p). It’ll also ship with some 3D games to scratch your mobile gaming itch. Again, still no word on when this 3D smartphone will hit, nor a hint on how much damage it’ll do to your wallets once it gets here.

    Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500

    As I sat down on my bed the other day, holding the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in my hands, flipping through the news, it suddenly dawned on me – the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the closest anyone could get, device-wise, to matching the Apple iPad 2. I know, I know – I also said that for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer when I reviewed it a couple of months back, but that was before I was able to spend time with Galaxy Tab 10.1. The Transformer is an excellent piece, don’t get me wrong, but the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is something else. Its aesthetics, ease of use and anorexic dimensions place it at a unique position to raise Honeycomb’s flag against iOS.

    So why now? Why didn’t Honeycomb debut in this slice of silicon heaven instead of the Xoom, which was plagued with bugs on day one? Well, that’s because the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that we’re reviewing now is a new and improved version of the original one unveiled back in February in the Mobile World Congress. A few weeks after that unveiling, the iPad 2 was announced, and Samsung announced in CTIA that the 10.1 went back to the drawing board, with the unit I’m reviewing now as the end result.

    Was the redesign worth it? Definitely – the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which was renamed Galaxy Tab 10.1v) had an overall thickness of 10.9mm. The one that I’m reviewing now is almost impossibly thin at 8.9mm, and more importantly, is thinner than the iPad 2 by 0.2mm and its 42 grams lighter. While those dimension and weight differences are somewhat negligible, it’s still a win over the iPad 2 and more importantly, Apple, something that few companies can claim to do. Like all other high profile devices that Samsung outs, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is pretty solid – no creaks or flexing anywhere.

    Of course comparisons with the iPad 2 is unavoidable, so it’s best to get that out of the way right now.

    As you can see here, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is slightly thinner than Apple’s offering.

    The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is also narrower than the iPad 2, but is a bit taller.

    The overall design aesthetic is simple, yet pleasing. Like most Honeycomb tablets, physical keys are scarce, save for the power and volume keys on the side of the device.

    You get a 10.1-inch PLS TFT capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1280×800. Its hardware isn’t anything we’ve seen before – dual-core Tegra 2 processor running at 1 GHz, 16GB of storage, 3 megapixel camera – though I have to admit this is the first tablet I’ve reviewed with 3G capability.

    It’s also one of the first Honeycomb tablets I’ve seen running a customized version of the UI (courtesy of the TouchWiz interface) instead of just plain Honeycomb.

    Just like TouchWiz on Samsung’s other Android offerings, you can expect a number of widgets and slight improvements to your tablet experience, including Samsung’s Social Hub – a social network aggregator of sorts.

    Especially useful are the widgets that can be accessed on the bottom of the screen at anytime. The review unit I tested was running Honeycomb 3.1.

    The whole user experience is nothing short of fantastic, and using the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was a joy. Jumping from app to app was seamless, and the tablet didn’t bog down even when I had multiple windows running in the background. The device also had haptic feedback – the tablet vibrated ever so slightly with each press on the virtual keyboard, which made typing on the touchscreen heaps better. The 3G functionality lent itself well during the review, with the device running off my Globe line without issues. Unlike the first Galaxy Tab, the 10.1 version delivers data and SMS only, so no calls.

    Samsung is also bringing out the big guns when it comes to competing with the iPad 2 via accessories. I’ve already seen a few of the planned add-ons during the official launch of the Galaxy S II a couple of weeks back which includes different keyboard docks and protectors.

    Performance numbers for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was encouraging, to say the least. I ran the device through Quadrant Standard, a standard benchmark tool I’ve used on several other Android devices to get performance figures of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The device managed to wrangle a 1528 score.

    Battery life was good, with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 managing a nice, solid 10 hours of run time with heavy use.

    Judging from what I’ve written so far, you’re probably thinking “what’s the catch?” Well, catch is that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is going to be expensive – it’s going to retail at Php 29900. There’s no word on the eventual availability of the WiFi version (at least, none so far) so it’s probably safe to say that if you want a slice of Sammy’s Honeycomb action, you’ll have to pony up the cash for the 3G version for now. Also, my standard complaint against Honeycomb concerning apps still apply here – the platform needs a lot more apps, fast. And sharp-eyed readers may also have noticed that there’s no place to put in your microSD cards, so you won’t be expanding storage anytime soon. A hardware orientation lock would have been nice, though you can still lock your screen’s orientation using the UI.

    Personally, I feel the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has the best chance against Apple when it comes to design, form factor and usability. The only thing holding it back is it’s relatively steep price compared to its competitors (which is always a huge factor when it comes to this price sensitive country of ours), but hopefully Samsung will release a cheaper, non-3G version for people on a budget.

     

    What’s Hot:

    Thinner and lighter than the iPad 2

    TouchWiz UI

    Excellent performance

    Solid battery life

     

    What’s Not:

    Expensive

    No hardware orientation lock

    Cannot use microSD cards to increase capacity

     

    Bottomline:

    It might be a bit expensive, but the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the epitome of Honeycomb tablet design – get one if you can.

    Review: Panasonic Lumix GF3

    Great things come in small packages.

    It’s quite impossible not to start with the GF3’s miniscule dimensions, for after all, this is its primary selling point. Roughly the size of an iPod and weighing about the same as an average point-and-shoot camera, Panasonic has somehow managed to squeeze in a 12-megapixel sensor into its tiny body.

    Just by looking at the GF3, you will immediately notice that the GF3 is more similar to a point-and-shoot then a DSLR.  Panasonic opts for the use of the push-button + jog dial combo as the main method of navigating instead of a click dial. The design is wonderfully simple, and the thumb grip on the upper right corner is a great addition as well. The only other controls are the buttons for Menu/Set, play/preview, Quick Fn/Return and one to pop open the built-in flash.

    The 460k pixel display is a thing of beauty – it’s well illuminated and previews both stills and movies excellently. It can get quite difficult to use though when under direct sunlight, but this is to be expected. The touchscreen is very responsive, and it’s easy to select which mode you want to shoot in (i.e. Program AE, Manual, Creative Control, etc.). You simply touch the upper left corner of the screen and you can quickly select the mode of your choice.

    Other controls on the touchscreen are very useful as well, especially the iA+ options which give you the ability to pinpoint the AF by touching an area on the display to have the camera automatically focus and take the shot instantly. This is especially handy when you want to capture several subjects in a short amount of time.

    Using the iA and iA+ modes does make it easy to take photos quickly and effectively, although when the mode is active, most menu functions to adjust the camera settings aren’t available, so it was quite counter-intuitive to have to switch off iA just to make menu adjustments. However, if you customize your menu/system settings beforehand, this shouldn’t be a problem at all.

    The GF3 I received came with the 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 lens , although the GF3’s can also arrive with the 14mm f2.5 pancake prime. However, regardless of which kit lens you choose, you will only really be able to use the white balance and exposure sliders in iA/iA+ mode because in order to effectively make the most out of the GF3’s “Defocus” slider, you will need to have a lens with a wider opening.

    The 14-42mm kit lens is not entirely efficient in producing blurred backgrounds or bokeh, since its aperture only reaches up to f3.5, but it is pretty sharp. Although it might not be a spectacular piece of glass, it still shoots clean and does provide a good focal range for you to work with, allowing you to quickly power on the camera and shoot.

    You can still achieve some great blur by using the Miniature mode in the Creative Control filter, which is one of the GF3’s greatest features. As the name of the effect implies, it applies a synthesized tilt-shift effect, simulating a shallow depth-of-field. It’s definitely an entertaining feature, but you might want to use an SD card with a high class rating, as images shot in Miniature mode requires some intense in-camera processing. What makes this particular effect great is that you can specify which areas of the image to blur, either horizontally and vertically.

    Even though Panasonic managed to squeeze in a built-in flash, I would have preferred a hot shoe instead. When the 14-42mm is equipped with the lens hood, the flash isn’t high enough to go past it, resulting in the lens hood’s shadow rudely appearing in the photos.

    The image below is shot a downward angle in a dark room.

    The photo below was shot perpendicular to a white wall, and you can see the shadow that the lens hood creates.

    If you don’t use the flash, the GF3 does fairly well for a micro four-thirds camera at high ISO’s, but don’t expect it to rival DSLR’s, even though the maximum ISO reaches 6400. I would suggest pairing it with the 14mm pancake or the new 25mm f1.4 to get the most out of low light situations.

    Shooting video with the GF3 is probably one of its stronger traits as well, shooting Full HD 1920 x 1080, 60i (30p sensor output, AVCHD). It’s light weight makes it easy to shoot for an extended period of time and is small enough to not attract a whole lot of attention. Furthermore, its compatibility with Pansonic’s 3D lenses can open up a treasure trove of creativity with this small compact system.

    Click HERE for a sample video

    In the end, if you’re looking for an extremely portable interchangeable lens camera, then the Panasonic GF3 is the one to get. Once you get past all the little hurdles in learning its interface and workflow, it’s an excellent camera that can satisfy the stern expectations of just about anyone. It’s small, compact, works like a point-and-shoot but captures almost like an entry-level DSLR.

    What’s Hot:

    Extremely compact

    Responsive touchscreen

      Full HD video

      Creative Control, especially Miniature mode

      Pinpoint autofocus and shoot

       

      What’s Not:

      Initially difficult to navigate

      Built-in flash not high enough

      No hot-shoe

       

      Buy Meter: 9.0

      Conclusion:

      The Panasonic Lumix GF3 is a great camera for those who are coming from a point-and-shoot and want to have  interchangeable lenses. This camera might be lightweight, but its definitely heavy on features.

      Review: Sparkle Calibre X560 Ti DF

      So we’ve had a good two weeks of playing around with Sparkle’s newest card, the Calibre branded X560 Ti DF. We unboxed this little number a while ago and since then, we’ve slapped it into our test system and managed to play with it with both Battlefield Bad Company 2 and 3DMark 11. So did it pass with flying colors?

      If you’re not big on back reading links, let us break it down for you. The Calibre X560 Ti DF is Sparkle’s latest card based on NVIDIA’s 560 Ti GPU. The 560 Ti uses NVIDIA’s GF114 GPU which is marketed to the mid-end segment of the gaming market. On paper, the 560 Ti graphics and memory clock is about 822 and 1002 Mhz, respectively. The Calibre X560 Ti DF on the other hand, runs at 950 and 1151 Mhz, respectively, which means that the card is slightly overclocked from the factory.

      Physically, the card is imposing, but not overly so. It’s a large card yes, but it’s not the sort of card that’s able to warm a family of five on a cold winter’s night. It’s hard to believe, but the overall look and feel of the card from the packaging down to the metal backplate make it seem quietly threatening. It’s exactly the opposite of gaudy and loud – and we definetely appreciate that. Less LEDs, more performance we always say.

      That particular styling extends all the way to its packaging which, to be honest, didn’t look like it contained a video card at all. Inside you get the card (obviously), a CD with device drivers on it, additional power plugs and a nifty HDMI cable with a mini connector.

      The card itself will take up about two PCI-E slots in your rig, and will be powered through two 6-pin plugs. Cooling is done via two 9cm ball bearing fans, Cool Pro thermal modules and 8mm copper heatpipes. The solid metal backing of the card gives it more surface area to dissipate heat, as well as providing a solid foundation to prevent board bending.

      We used two benchmarks and one game to accurately gauge performance numbers. Futuremark’s 3DMark 11 and Unigine’s Haven benchmarks will give us the performance numbers we need, while DICE’s multiplayer extravaganza Battlefield Bad Company 2 will give us real world performance feedback. Our test system is an Intel Core i5 2500K running at 3.30GHz with 4GB of DDR3 memory on an Intel DH67BL board. The system is stock, no overclocks.

      We made two passes with 3DMark 11 – one on the default Performance preset (1280×720) and the other on the Extreme preset (1920×1080).

      The card managed to net a score of P4944 for the performance preset and X1698 for the Extreme preset.

      For Unigine’s Haven benchmark, we cranked up the resolution to 1920×1080 and anisotrophy to x4. The Calibre X560 Ti DF managed to net a score of 920, with an average of 36.5 FPS. Not bad at all.

      For the final test, we booted up our copy of Battlefield Bad Company 2. With the resolution set 1920×1080, and anti-aliasing on x4 we set about playing a few rounds of Rush. According to FRAPS, a recording app that we use to count frames, the Calibre X560 Ti DF managed an excellent 90 FPS. Gameplay was extremely smooth, and even with multiple explosions going around me and all the smoke effects during the match, the game was still pretty damn smooth.

      So is the Calibre X560 Ti DF worth it? Well, that depends solely on your budget. With a suggested SRP of $259 (or about Php 11000), it’s definitely not cheap. But for that price, you get a nice, powerful card that’s certainly able to tackle the flood of titles come the holiday season.

       

      What’s Hot:

      Design

      Card is silent even under full load

      Easily overclocked

       

      What’s Not:

      Expensive

       

      Bottomline:

      If you have the budget, the Sparkle Calibre X560 Ti DF is definitely a card to look at.

      Augmented reality shopping now a reality

      Remember that movie “Clueless” with Alicia Silverstone and how she was able to mix-and-match her daily school ensemble via her computer? Now that may have been a 90s flick and that technology might seem primitive by today’s standards but now, that same ease of looking good and not becoming a fashion victim is almost within our reach.

      The new “Hybrid Fitting System” from Toshiba TEC gives shoppers a whole new shopping experience via an augmented reality. Shoppers can gesture movements to see the different products, colors as well as put together entire outfits. It also recommends accessories to top off your selections. With a navigable motion sensor and built-in cameras on a high-resolution screen, you can see your chosen products with prices and other details such as new lines and collections in real time. It also has the potential to allow the disabled to experience this type of shopping as well as those remote locations where shops aren’t easily accessible.

      How Colored Hubble Telescope Images Are Made

      Some of the most stunning photographs ever taken are literally out of this world.

      The photo above of Spiral Galaxy NGC 3982 is just one among many amazing photos taken by the infamous Hubble Telescope. As we marvel at this hypnotizing telescopic image, most of us might not even consider thinking about the complex process that goes behind producing these photographs.

      Creating the final image above takes laborious hours of post-processing with software that will humble any photographer. According to the HubbleSite, the initial images are black and white, and color is actually applied in post using data from Hubble’s filter-covered sensors.

      Perhaps its better to actually see the post-process in action via a time-lapse video, which compresses the entire procedure in a few minutes:

      Google buys Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion

      Google just dropped a bomb tonight – the gigantic search giant/mobile OS maker/future masters of the world has announced it has acquired Motorola Mobility, the arm responsible for creating the Droid series of smartphones and the Xoom for $12.5 billion. In a blog post at the official Google blog, CEO Larry Page stated that “Motorola’s total commitment to Android in mobile devices is one of many reasons that there is a natural fit between our two companies. Together, we will create amazing user experiences that supercharge the entire Android ecosystem for the benefit of consumers, partners and developers everywhere.” Additionally, he says that “this acquisition will not change our commitment to run Android as an open platform,” and that “we (Google) will run Motorola as a separate business.” That’s not the only reason why Google acquired Motorola though. It’s probably safe to say at this point that Larry sees Motorola as insurance against the patent bruhaha that Google believes is being instigated on them by Microsoft, Apple, Oracle and others. “We recently explained how companies including Microsoft and Apple are banding together in anti-competitive patent attacks on Android. The U.S. Department of Justice had to intervene in the results of one recent patent auction to “protect competition and innovation in the open source software community” and it is currently looking into the results of the Nortel auction. Our acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google’s patent portfolio, which will enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies,” the Google CEO said.

      Unplggd makes you relish wires and create art

      Who doesn’t hate long cables? We’ve all devoted a large amount of time and energy finding ways to cut the cord or at least banish wires from our sight. Website Unplggd suggests that you do the complete opposite though, and display your wires in an expression of geeky art. Like the piece from Maussie Maud Broadhead, wherein she takes the very long cable of her lamp and creates a nice conversation piece.

      Or the one from XBMC, in which he re-arranges all the cables coming from his PS3 into an homage to technology. Inspired yet? We sure are, and we’re rooting for our extra long Ethernet cable just in case.

      Why geeks rule this Halloween

      Halloween may be a couple of months away but wouldn’t it be awesome to come prepared to win Best Costume at the local Halloween party? Well, if you’re in it to win it (and you want to let that inner vixen out), don’t go as the played-out witch, nurse, or Disney princess.
