TrustedReviews have looked at the Panasonic KV-S1025C Document Scanner

On paper at least it has all of the right credentials. First, it's pretty speedy. According to the spec sheet it will scan documents at speeds of up to 23 A4 pages per minute (ppm), at 200dpi in black and white and 10ppm at 200dpi in colour. Moreover, it will scan both sides of your pages simultaneously, giving a total potential throughput of 46 sides per minute. And there's no reason to doubt these figures. In tests the scanner was faster than the quoted speeds, running through 34 A4 black and white pages in one minute one second. Colour pages were delivered at the same speed, and at 600dpi in colour, the 34 pages took three minutes 56 seconds to acquire.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Pioneer PDP-507XD 50in Plasma TV

You’ve got to admire Pioneer’s stubbornness. For while every other traditional plasma supporter in town – even die-hards like Panasonic and Fujitsu – now produces LCD screens as well, Pioneer is sticking doggedly to its 100 per cent plasma guns. Only last week on a visit to Pioneer in Japan the powers that be reiterated the fact that they simply don’t see LCD as a true home cinema option, and have no roadmap for introduce LCD somewhere down the line.

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Cooler Master Hyper TX

I normally don't get all giddy and child like when it comes to the conclusion of a review but very seldom am I this pleased with a product. The Cooler Master Hyper TX has literally knocked my socks off and got me spinning in my office chair. When I first received the Hyper TX, I saved it for last of my Cooler Master cooler reviews because I was expecting the least out of it. I was certainly wrong in my assessment and then some.

Modders-Inc has a new review online on the VIZO Paragon HHD Enclosure

The VIZO Paragon is described as a "2.5 inch One touch Backup HDD External Enclosure". Put very simply, you drop a laptop drive into one of these cases, and then attach the USB cable... you have an external hard drive. What we are reviewing here is the chassis, installation procedures, transfer speeds, included bitsies and aesthetics....

Hardware Secrets put up a Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse: Battlefield 2142 Edition Review

A sluggish mouse is a nightmare for any gamer. Quickness of response and precision mean the difference between life and death in a digital battleground. The Logitech G5 Laser Gaming Mouse has been around for a year now, but it’s gaining a facelift with a special version based on the newest installment of the successful Battlefield series from Electronic Arts, Battlefield 2142 (BF 2142 for short). What was already the weapon of choice of any serious first person shooter gamer has become also a beautiful mouse with some cool graphics inspired by the game.

BIOS checked out the Alienware Area-51 7500 system

Alienware was one of the first to offer SLI-powered systems and Intel dual-core-powered systems, and now it has brought those two extraordinary technologies together. The Area-51 7500 allows you to experience markedly increased levels of both processor and graphics performance in one system, meaning games and multimedia applications fly like a bat out of hell. It's a powerful, fully-featured computer that's great for gaming and multimedia duties, and though it is pricey, you get Alienware's thoughtful design and attractive styling for the expense. But if you're a gaming nut, you may want to hold on until the New Year because Alienware has announced that it plans to equip its most powerful desktops with nVidia's new DirectX 10-based GeForce 8800 GTX (in single or dual-GPU mode), as well as Intel's quad-core Core 2 Extreme processor.

Bit-Tech takes a look at the BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS video card

The GeForce 8800 GTS is the more affordable member of NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 family, but there's more to it than a simple clock speed reduction. Despite the cut down feature set, we reckon it's a better buy than the flagship GeForce 8800 GTX. Read on to find out why...

XYZ Computing has a new article out on the HIS X1950 Pro IceQ3 Turbo Video Card

Moving past the top end, the focus of this review is on ATI's X1950 Pro, a performance card that finds itself in that $199-$249 sweet spot. This is a price point that offers very nice bang-for-the-buck and is perfect for dedicated gamers who are working within a budget. The equivalent card in the Nvidia line is probably the 7900 GS, though with newer cards out now there is some blending of price points as previous generations drop in price.

BlueTomorrow.com has posted a new review on the BlueAnt X3 micro Bluetooth Headset

BlueAnt Wireless Pty. Ltd. won two awards for the design of its X3 micro Bluetooth Headset, and if BlueTomorrow.com gave awards for design, we would add a third to the Australian company's trophy shelf. The product looks awesome, and we don't use the term lightly.

3D Game Man posted a review on the Etasis ET850 850W Power Supply

The Etasis ET850 850W Power Supply performs very well, has lots of leads, is 80% efficient, and has Active PFC. These are very important factors to take into consideration when purchasing a power supply. It's also dual NVIDIA 8800 Video Card certified, which is fantastic. This power supply doesn't have any modular leads though, but that's common for a power supply of this wattage. Watch the Video to find out more...

Overclockers New Zealand has posted a review on Gigabyte GV-RX165P256D-RH ATi R1650Pro Video Card.

The Gigabyte GV-RX165P256D-RH is quite an interesting 3D accelerator, offering zero decibel cooling and a very good game bundle, SID MEIER'S CIVILIZATION IV. This card could be a reasonable choice for the HTPC flocks but it would not be the best choice for the performance-orientated gamers.

HotHardware.com posted an article where they explore the performance of NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS cards running in dual-card SLI configurations.

NVIDIA has released a couple of fresh sets of Forceware drivers for the GeForce 8800 series, so we thought it was a good time to revisit the GTX and GTS to see how a pair of each type of card performed in a dual-GPU SLI configuration. So, armed with dual GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS cards, and a top-of-the-line testbed, we set out to do just that.

Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Ratpadz XT Premium Mousing Surface

Is the Ratpadz any different?. If you want a good comparison to something you might already have, think indestructible cutting board, or armor plating, and you'll get a good idea on how sturdy it feels (that's a plus btw)

Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Ratpadz XT Premium Gaming Mousepad

Truthfully, I never knew gaming could be this effortless. I know I know, it is just a mousepad, but you really have to try one of these out. There are several companies bragging and touting their mousepads to be the best out there and when they turned up to the Tweaknews labs they were judged to be overpriced, over-hyped and under performing pieces of marketed junk........but this doesn't apply to the Ratpadz XT. It is what it is and that is an exceptional mousepad. And it isn't that badly priced to boot.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01

The FX01 shares most of its internal components with the FX3 which I reviewed in November, and in many ways the two cameras are almost identical. The both have the same 1/2.5in CCD, 6.37 megapixels (6.0MP effective) CCD sensor, the same 2.5in, 207k pixel TFT high-angle LCD monitor, and identical control layouts. The body designs are slightly different though, with the FX01 having a more rounded shape, and less of the Leica-esque 1930’s retro look.

The RTX Dualphone 3088 doesn't require a PC, doesn't require wireless, and gives you a cordless phone that will place Skype calls as well as
standard land line calls.
