Samsung has announced the new Galaxy S3 and it looks impressive. A 4.8" AMOLED screen with a quad-core processor are just some of the notable highlights. I'm not a big fan of the design though as it does seem a little too "round" for my liking. I guess I'll need to see it in person. A 2100 mAh battery sounds like a good...

HTC was without a doubt one of the brands that I thought would lead the Android revolution. In many ways, it was one of the early pioneers, but for the past year, HTC has been nearly invisible. Several poor designs, poor time to market, and before you knew it HTC was eclipsed. Samsung in particular has been very dominant of late. Creative designs, solid...

I just got an e-mail that the HTC One-X "Premium Set" that I signed up for is ready to collet on Thursday, April 5. In addition to the phone, the Premium set comes with a Beats Headphone. According to some websites, because I signed up early, it comes at a slight discount to the normal retail price. I'm not sure if that's correct, but...

Among "crazy" watches, I...

Leica is poised to introduce the very sexy White Leica M9-P in June. There are only 50 pieces made and from what I read, its a Japan-Only product. The major downside though is the cost, expected to be around 2.6m Yen or something like US$32k. That's a pretty crazy amount of money for a Leica. It does come with the amazing 50mm Noctilux lens...

Tag Heuer has released a glimpse of an upcoming smartphone - the Racer. While we haven't seen the full details, we do know that it comes with the "latest" Android (4.0?), a "high-speed" processor, but more important, is covered in a brilliant carbon fibre and titanium shell. All this for a mere 2,800 Euros! Looks impressive, though that is pricey. To my surprise,...

Canadian Company Emperor has two extremely impressive workstation options for those of us extreme geeks. The Emperor 1510 is their entry-level workstation which looks like a fantastic Pod you climb into and be surrounded by screens. I love it! I'm wondering how I can get this into my house and set it up. It looks comfortable, and with some fairly impressive specs: single or...

While...

Lytro Camera So this company Lytro has come up with a very novel camera that takes a whole new approach to taking pictures. Using a new idea of capturing an image, the camera (if you can call it that as it looks very little like a camera) allows one to take an image and then process it on a Mac. The edited image...
