Mini Speaker System Head-to-Head
When it comes to audio, it generally makes sense to stick to the established brands. The likes of Sennheiser, Sony, Shure, B&W and JBL have spent years building product lines and reputations. They spend millions on R&D and new technology, and they know how to build kit that's built to last.
However, there's always room for the little guy to find a niche, either by producing premium equipment with a performance beyond the mainstream brands, or by finding some new way of tackling an old problem, and putting out an innovative product at a bargain-basement price. Much as we at TR love checking out the latest and greatest from the biggest names in the business, there's always something nice about finding a little gem - particularly if it comes in at a pocket money price point.
UMPC Maker OQO Ceases Trading
A statement on the OQOTalk forums has confirmed the Inquirer's suspicions that one of the better known UMPC makers, OQO, has ceased operations. This means the company's mooted new device, the model 2+, will not be joining the model 01, model 01+ or model 2, the former of which entered the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest fully-powered and fully-featured personal computer back in 2006.
Unfortunately this means current OQO owners won't be able to get support or repairs on their units, making online communities and forums the most likely refuge for those who are still dedicated OQO users.
There is one spark of hope, however, with rumour having it that the engineering team might transition to an unnamed PC vendor. Here's hoping something like what model 3 might have been will yet see the light of day, albeit under a different guise.

Asus ENGTX260 Matrix
It has been a trend lately with the computer industry where manufacturers are simply putting their own stickers on a reference design product without much of their own design and engineering. We used to see more manufacturers producing graphic cards with custom coolers and custom designs. However, lately, if you look into current graphics cards market, you will find majority of vendors use reference NVIDIA and AMD designs and simply put their own labels on the card. In fact, many of these cards only differ in their clockspeeds as well as the bundles and warranty. Other than that, there are no physical differences among them.
Not that we are complaining about the reference NVIDIA or AMD cooler design. They are, in fact, quite good for most part and that is why the manufacturers are sticking with it. However, we do love to see manufacturers who are willing to spend a bit more attention and resources into their products and are able to enhance the product's performance and add their flavor to it.

Best Buy Mobile--Only Four Palm Pres Per Store?
Just how short are those Palm Pre shortages going to be when the popular smartphone launches on June 6th? According to a recent report, Best Buy Mobiles around the country will be receiving around 4,250 Pres--divided by 1,000 store locations, that number comes out to around 4 units per store. Yeesh.
Boy Genius also reports that many Radio Shack locations will be getting half of that single-digit number. Maybe charging $850 per Pre isn't such a ridiculous notion after all.

ASUS introduces ROG OC Station for all your on-the-fly overclocking needs
ASUS is doing what it can to bump up its gaming cred a few notches with its Republic of Gamers (ROG) OC Station. The bay-mounted overclock assistant lets you tweak parameters on the fly, even in the middle of a game, without ever having to dive into the BIOS. It's got a 3-inch LCD display, too, for keeping an eye on things or, apparently, showing your pictures in a slideshow. All this power comes at a cost, and not just financially: you're gonna have to give up two 5.25-inch bays to install this bad boy. It also looks like it only works with ROG motherboards, which is gonna limit the market even further. If you are, however, an anxious and willing member of that demographic, we hate to say you're gonna have to wait an undisclosed time before you can pick one up for an undisclosed number of Benjamins.
