Cnet.com has a review and video of the Dell
Latitude X1. PC Magazine has a review of the Toshiba
Portege R200. And NotebookReview.com has a first thoughts review on the IBM
ThinkPad x41, a new 2.7 lb laptop, with 12.1" screen
and a 1.50ghz Pentium M processor. In case you’re wondering why I keep emphasizing these laptops, the reason is obvious - after all, who doesn’t love really lightweight laptops with decent power and good specs?
This webcam is unusual because it has some style with it’s shiny-red-sports-car-like
finish. Its also convenient because it can clip onto your LCD monitor or
notebook display. And its got decent specs which include the ability to capture video in VGA resolution (640×480) at
30fps as well as taking 1.3MP still pictures. (Source: Akihabara News)
Keyhole is software that allows you to see a 3D digital model of the entire earth via the Internet. Once you download and install the software, you type in the address you want to look up and it zooms in on it. It’s scary stuff - I tried my home address and there it was, I was looking at a 3d layout of the whole neighborhood with information about it, including some things I didn’t even know. You can customize the view so that you can see the address from different angles or to see what other places are located around it - such as stores, hospitals, parks, streets, etc. Google has purchased Keyhole so it’ll be interesting to see what further direction its taken too. Currently the lite edition has an annual subscription rate of $29.99. There is a free trial available on their site so even if you have no use for this software it’s worth trying out just for kicks.

Recently I posted about the GPX SportX HW6805DT Mp3 Player Headphones with

wrong. Geeks.com has the iZon

Yes that’s right - it can be used as a headset for your phone via bluetooth. It

Just recently I posted about the Japanese Idog Accessory for the Ipod. Here’s
another Japanese accessory that looks related to it - or maybe its the idog’s
master? The ikub is an "ipod holder." Is it just me, or

I promised I’d keep you updated once T3 Mag would publish a review of it. Unfortunately the Cn-2210 failed to impress T3 and it only recieved 2 out of 5 stars. T3 justified this poor rating by explaining …

Security is offering free software to download that scans your wifi network …
Aibo and an ipod sitting in a tree. First comes love, then comes the Segatoys idog iPod Speaker.

It works with most pdas, cell phones and mp3 players. Unfortunately though, the Itech headset is currently sold out.
JVC has updated their Mini Note laptop line. Unfortunately there aren’t many
significant upgrades to it compared to the previous Mini Note. However the
laptop does look a little better with its new silver cover. Also, this model follows in it’s predecessor’s
