LG 55LX9900

LG is the only manufacturer to sell both Passive Polarisation (with the LG LD920 ) and Active Shutter Full HD 3D TVs in the UK. The former may boast the cheapest 3D spex, but it’s the Active Shutter range which is getting the brand’s premier tech. This super-sized 55 inch model packs Full LED backlighting, a Wii-style Magic Motion remote control (plus a regular zapper for traditionalists) and some fiercely effective picture processing wizardry. So can it challenge the jaw-dropping Panasonic P50VT20 3D plasma or the eye-popping Samsung 9000 Series models?

Sony NWZ-W252 W Series Walkman MP3 Player

professional technology,gadgetIn the 80s and 90s Sony dominated the portable media player market.  Then Apple came along and released the iPod.  Ever since Sony has been scrapping to keep pace and finally, after many years of denial, started building iPod compatible stereos, docks and bedside alarm clocks.  So does the Sony’s NWZ-W252 Walkman even warrant a look? Fortunately, the day after I ran my iPod Shuffle through the washing machine, the NWZ-W252 showed up at my door.  So there couldn’t have been a better time to review the MP3 player.  The first thing I noticed about the Sony NWZ-W252 is that there are no cords to manage.  I ride a bike and always listen to my Shuffle or my iPhone while commuting to and fro.  More often than not the cords get tangled in my helmet, which may seem like a petty concern, but when it happens time after time I assure you it is not.  Everything needed to listen to the NWZ-W252 is contained directly in the headphones themselves, which includes all the necessary controls as well as a USB port for transferring and charging the device.

DeathSpank Games

Professional technology,deathspankDeathspank has been developed by Ron Gilbert, who developed The Secret of Monkey Island. Available for download via PlayStation Network or Xbox Live Arcade, you play a hack and slasher called DeathSpank One thing we need to say about DeathSpank is that, like World of Warcraft, there’s a lot of repetition. You hit something. You hit another thing. And another. And a fourth. A 64th, a 128th, a 512th. You have four weapons and a thousand million enemies, and you grind your way through them like some kind of cartoon extremist in the days before bombs. Why? [Read the rest of this entry...]

Sony Walkman E453

professional technologySony’s Walkman brand may not have the same impact now as in its ’80s heyday, but the tech company has been banging out consistently good MP3 players for some years now. The Sony E Series Walkman offers more of the same, but with a few added gimmicks brought in to spice the range up. But competing in the same sphere as the iPod Nano , does it still have a place?

Pocket Projector

Is there a practical application to the portable projector?  You bet your ass there is. But it all depends on who you are and what you’re doing. For the last few weeks I’ve been testing out 3M’s Mpro150 Pico Projector. It’s a pocket sized device with its own UI and rechargeable battery. It has a mini VGA input, micro-USB port, microSD card slot and headphone jack. included in the box is a VGA to mini-VGA, RCA to mini-VGA, AC plug and tripod. The AC charger is modular and includes a variety of plugs for international travel.

The projector’s body is finished in a rubber coating and features a small kickstand on its stomach. From a portability stand point the projector is pocket sized and weighs no more than an smartphone with the battery installed, 5.6oz to be exact.

Apple iMac 27-inch

Apple’s computer range refreshes don’t have to be radical to be significant. Take this mid-2010 iMac update. They boast the same brushed aluminium construction, same edge-to-edge glass screen, same built-in iSight webcam, same 27-inch and 21.5-inch form factors and the same connectivity options. But under the hood, component improvements give the new iMacs a very welcome power boost that sees the range retain its position as the best-quality all-in-one computers currently available. We reviewed the 21.5-inch here , and now we’re looking at the 27-inch.
