Sony S Tablet

Sony Tablet S-Series Review

Posted on

When Sony finally announced that they were launching their tablet, I had high hopes.  Although the specs didn’t exactly blow me out of the water, I thought that Sony releasing a tablet had to be a pretty good product.  So I bought one. Form The S tablet (aside: I think Sony could have thought of a better name than just a letter)...

BlackBerry Porsche

Blackberry Porsche P9981

Posted on

I just saw the Blackberry Porsche P9981 in person and I must say it is really good looking. Blackberry’s are actually quite boring devices, but the Porsche design P9981 adds a level of sophistication, coolness and just outright class to the device. Unfortunately, all that good looks comes at a hefty US$2000 price. Many of us get our Blackberry from our work so its...

Sony Digital Binoculars DEV-5

Sony Digital Recording Binoculars DEV-5 (w/ 3D)

Posted on

Sony introduced a pair of digital recording binoculars.  Not only were these digital, but they were capable of recording the image and doing it in 3D.  I love binoculars and even better, these high tech ones sounded like a fantastic marriage of good glass and digital technology.  So I was pretty keen to try one out.  I was by a Sony store recently and...

Nokton 17.5mm 0.95 lens

Posted on

I’m a huge fan of the Micro Four-Thirds format and I’m glad that its getting more widely accepted.  I love my Lumix GX1 and I like having more options for lenses.  I’m super happy that Panasonic has teamed up with Leica and I was really happy to buy the 25mm Lumix-Leica Summilux.  I love large aperture lenses.  Nokton has quite a number of large...

I love 3D!

Posted on

I love 3D! I am obsessed with all things 3D, though I seem to be in the minority in that regard.  I have had a 3D TV and I really enjoy it.  I might be one of the few that does so (no one else I know has one) but 3D is just fun.  3D PS3 games, 3D bluray movies, and best of all, having seen...

Nikon D800

After more than a 3 year wait, we finally have an update from Nikon of the D700 with the newly launched D800.  As part of Team Nikon, I have been waiting for this Full Frame monster.  A 36.3 megapixel, Full Frame, 1080p video, the list goes on – I’m in!  Of course, I couldn’t wait and bought the D7000 just a little over a...

Despite the somewhat dubious name, Ainol is a Chinese company that produces a number of media players.  I bought one a few years ago to use in while travelling before the iPad came along.  Ainol has moved into the tablet world with a bunch of Android tablets built off their media players.  The amazing thing is that one of their newest products, the Novo...

Sony Personal 3D Viewer Headset (HMZ-T1)

Posted on

Personal viewing glasses are one of those things that sounds so cool. I’ve had 3 in my time – many, many years ago. While they were cool, they gave me a splitting headache, was generally heavy, and had poor battery life. So their eventual demise was no surprise. Over the years, a few models have emerged trying to revamp interest in this product. I...

Sphero – “Part Robot; Part Ball”

The Sphero is just one of those simple fun inventions that looks like a lot of ... well "fun".  It looks like the size of Tennis ball that is remotely controlled from your iOS or Android device.  So cool.  I want one!
