Samsung Instinct S30 now on sale at Sprint: $129.99 on contract

Right on cue, Samsung's retooled Instinct (that'd be the Instinct S30, if you had any doubts) has gone on sale at Sprint. You'll also notice that the $129.99 on-contract price we heard about is completely in tact, despite the fact that Best Buy Mobile could be selling this same handset in stores later this week for $80 less. At any rate, those champing at the bit to get one headed their way can now do so after choosing between Cobalt Metal and Touch of Copper hues, and if you're looking to snag one with no strings attached, you'll be paying $449.99 in order to do so.

Radeon HD 4890 Overclocked To 1.2GHz

When the ATI Radeon HD 4890 launched earlier this month, everyone knew that it would only be a matter of time before the 1GHz core clock speed was achieved in the overclocking community and it did come rather quickly. After all, a 150MHz increase isn't much these days given the vast array of air and water cooling products on the market.

Now overclockers are getting a little more in depth with the 4890 and starting to push it a little bit further with some of the more extreme forms of cooling, liquid nitrogen and dry ice. So far liquid nitrogen has enabled the card to be pushed to 1.13GHz with a modest voltage increase.

EOS Digital Wireless iPod Speaker Core System Review

In recent years, networked music streaming devices from Sonos, Philips and Logitech have transformed multi-room audio, transforming it from something that took a lot of work, expense and cabling into something within reach of the average household. However, in the last few months we've begun to see an alternative approach, using the ever-popular iPod as a source instead of a PC or hard disk base station.

With the Altec Lansing Octiv Air M812 it was possible to connect up to six wireless speaker units up to single dock, giving you multi-room audio from a single iPod (albeit with the same music playing in every room). Now EOS - a new face on these shores - brings us its own spin on the idea, fitting a fairly normal looking iPod speaker dock with a wireless transmitter, with the potential to pair it with up to four wireless speaker units.

Canon IXUS 100 IS digital camera Review

Canon have been increasing their model numbers in tandem with upping the megapixels in their cameras on pretty much an annual basis. The IXUS 100, therefore, steps in where the IXUS 95 left off, bringing 12.1 megapixels to the new DIGIC 4 processor but keeping the same size sensor.

In terms of styling things have been tweaked slightly from previous years, with slightly more rounded edges leading to a slimmer look than earlier models. There is a great sense of design cohesion, with the screen, buttons and controls all sitting flush against the body, giving both a great look and feel.

HP EliteBook 6930p Review

EliteBook is relatively new series of HP notebooks and it is intended for demanding business users. It was created with goal of creating better distinction between business and top-class notebooks that can withstand much tougher working conditions. Model that we got in our test lab is HP EliteBook 6930p and after first contact with this model it was clear that we got an “elite” notebook.

Although HP EliteBook 6930p is relatively small, which is consequence of display with 14.1 inch diagonal, it is much heavier than we expected. This shouldn’t surprise you too much since emphasis on all EliteBook models is on build quality. DuraCase chassis used in this model is made out of magnesium with structure similar to honeycomb.

Panasonic DMR-EX769 DVD/HDD Freeview PVR

The Panasonic DMR-EX768 was the best-selling DVD recorder of 2008, which is hardly surprising given how impressed we were by its generous features, ease of use and affordability. And it's a good bet that its replacement, the DMR-EX769, will enjoy a similar level of success because like its predecessor it brings the benefits of Panasonic's higher-end models (DMR-EX89 and EX79) to a more affordable price point.

Intel Responds to IBM’s 28nm announcement

Yesterday Intel responded to the news that IBM and its team of manufacturers were moving to 28nm in 2010.

The news was important as it relates to AMD and their new spin-off Globalfoundries.According to Intel the step to 28nm will not work properly for CPUs as it is a half-node step. It has to do with the masks used; it is very difficult to change them between half and full node steps. To counter this Intel has opted for only using full node steps (45,32,22nm).
