I Love the Blackberry Playbook

by Zenia Duran on April 15th, 2011

This past Thursday, I and fellow Hardwaregeeker, Michael Reyes, was invited to the Blackberry Playbook Launch Party….
RIM…. THANK YOU for an amazing event

So, I just finished playing with the New Blackberry Playbook for the past 3 hours. I wish I had another one to make a video of it. I will get around to posting one up in the next couple of days (need to get Fancy for the camera).

So in the mean time I will make this short and straight to the point….

First thing I have to say is…. HELLO FLASH WEBSITES!!

The Playbook supports Adobe Flash and the loading speed in awesome!!! just as good as my laptop (using my home network). Continue Reading…

Toshiba Satellite M645

by Sylwia on January 24th, 2011

It have spent approximately two months with this beauty and I love love love it. I wanted to review the things that make this laptop special and different from all the rest out on the market.

The notebook itself is small but it has one powerful set of speakers! Thank you Harman/kardon and dobly advanced audio. I like to stay entertained and when you live by yourself it’s nice to have some background noise. With this laptop it’s less noise and more sound (yes corny but true). I like to listen to music while I am cooking but lack the counter space to have it in the kitchen. With this laptop it doesn’t matter because I can hear it from the other room and the sound is not distorted! Continue Reading…

Protect Your iPad

by Cecilia Daclan on June 15th, 2010

I tested three products designed to protect your iPad in various ways. First I tried out the Speck Shield View, which sells for $24.95. It comes in a 2 pack, and it’s supposed to stick to your iPad screen perfectly, protecting it from scratches and smudges. Getting it on the iPad was fairly easy. The product comes with instructions on how to get it on smoothly. However, once I peeled the backing to expose the protective film, a couple bubbles showed up that I couldn’t remove. Granted, they were just two small bubbles on the edges, but bubbles are still annoying. I give it a B for application and an A- for preventing fingerprint smudges.

Pantech Breeze II for at&t Review

by Ashley Giordano on May 22nd, 2010

Last week, I received the Pantech Breeze II. At first, I thought this phone was more like a joke. A high school senior with this phone? Yeah, I didn’t see that happening. But to my surprise I actually grew fond of the Breeze II and all the features on it.

The Pantech Breeze II has a display of three icons right on the front cover; they light up when you either have a message, phone call, or you’re battery is being charged (it changes from red to green. Green is fully charged). I thought this feature was one of the best because you can just look down to see what messages you have or if your battery is about to die without even opening the phone.

Review: Barnes & Noble Nook

by Daron Colflesh on February 22nd, 2010

How heavy is your purse? How many things do you carry in it? How many individual gadgets?

With the advent of devices like the iPhone, I have, like many women, been able to trim the “fat” from my bag. I’ve combined my cell phone with my music device with my GPS and stash multi-use makeup/beauty tools, among other things. However, I almost always have a book in my purse that adds some heft. I love the feel of a book in my hands and the idea made me wary, but in an effort to streamline, I decided to see if an ebook reader could further lighten the burden on my shoulder. I decided to crack open a Barnes & Noble Nook. (Note: no gadgets were harmed in the making of this review.)

Review: Seagate FreeAgent|Go – Portable Drive

by Radiris Diaz on May 17th, 2009

Seagate’s FreeAgent|Go Portable Drive is the first external hard drive that I laid my pretty little hands on. I was dreading actually using it, because I thought it was extremely complicated and time consuming. I imagined myself disheveled in a corner, with my computer running extremely slow, giving me errors that the maximum capacity was dangerously close to being met, advising me to close some windows…and me, flipping through pages, trying to figure out how I could clear some of the memory from my computer, by connecting it to a hard drive, before it gave me the oh’ so dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.

That was my fear. I hoped not to end up in that situation.

And that’s exactly how it happened.

Review: The “T-Fitness Pro Pack” for the Nintendo Wii Fit

by Guest_Blogger on May 7th, 2009

I am a Wii-a-holic as my brother, Michael, from HardwareGeeks.com calls me. I use my Wii daily, specifically the Wii Fit, which along with a healthy diet, has helped me lose 23 pounds in the last six months. I’ve been doing it for so long that now I feel like it’s too easy. Luckily for me, my brother recently gave me the T-Fitness Pro Pack .

It’s an interesting product. It has everything I needed for my Wii Board and more. My favorite accessory was the rechargeable battery for the Wii board. The current trend is ‘going green’ and saving money, exactly what the rechargeable battery will allow me to accomplish. This was the first and best part of the package.

Review: Acoustibuds

by Radiris Diaz on April 29th, 2009

31myrcuv9cl__aa280_ For those people that are not ear-bud wearers, but still want the noise isolation provided by most, Acoustibuds make earphone adapters that give the same comfort, snugginess and sound that great (noise-isolating) ear buds provide.

The earphone adapters significantly increase the sound quality you get from your regular ear phones. I wore them with Apple earphones and they definitely improved the sound quality. I had a coworker of mine also use them during our work day and he was ‘a believer’, asked to buy them off of me, and also said it sounded so much better with them on. The surprising thing is, is that at a first glance all it looks like are weirdly shaped earphone thingies. I say thingies because I didn’t know what they were when I first saw them, but behind that piece of rubber is some well thought out plan of how to make someone’s listening experience a little more amazing than the last time they used their earphones (last time meaning without the adapters).

Pantech Matrix Pro Review

by Cecilia Daclan on March 7th, 2009

matrix-pro I just got a BlackBerry Bold a few weeks ago after my Treo 750 died (may it rest in peace). I was still in the honeymoon phase with my BlackBerry – oohhing and aahhing over its features, downloading applications like Facebook for BlackBerry and TwitterBerry, busting it out while waiting in line at the grocery store to discover more of its new features – when I was asked to review the new Pantech Matrix Pro.

How could I say no? It’s a brand new phone, and it looks pretty sleek. I’ve never used a phone with both a QWERTY and numerical keypad, so I was eager to test that out. First impressions are everything, and my first impression of the Pantech Matrix Pro was that it’s heavy. Weighing in at 5.34 ounces and with dimensions of 4.2 x 2.0 x 0.9 inches it’s not exactly slim. Technically, the BlackBerry Bold weighs 0.5 ounces more, but for some reason the Pantech Matrix Pro feels much heavier. For a night out, it would take up significant space in my clutch purse and could not be conveniently slipped into my jeans pocket. But, it’s not a piece of jewelry, so let’s move on to the more important stuff…I mean, it is a cell phone so let’s talk about functionality.
