Viewsonic setzt beim ViewPad 7 auf eine Bildschirmgröße von 7 Zoll. Mit kleinem Formfaktor und integrierter Telefoniefunktion wird viel Wert auf Mobilität gelegt. Am auffälligsten ist beim ViewPad 7 allerdings die iPhone-4-Optik. Das Testurteil des Android-Tablet fällt eindeutig aus. …mehr

Picking up right where the Palm Pixi left off, the ($100 with a two-year AT&T contract as of May 5, 2011) is smaller than your average high-end smartphone. Not everybody wants--or needs--a monolithic 4.3-inch phone, though. And just because the Veer is smaller doesn't mean that it misses out on all the heavy specs. The Veer's tiny design is a nice change from the dozens of large Android phones we've seen over the past year. …mehr

Depending on the view, , a free experimental display font by English designer Claire Mitchell, is either lovely or a freak of nature. Recognizable sans serif letterforms emerge within a wild swirl of lines—mimicking the floating action of dandelion fluff or (if you're a sci-fi fan) a heart-stopping dervish made from bio-engineered cells waiting to go berserk. Font Interpretation 101: People, it's subjective. …mehr

I was going to start this review of (free) with my best Colonel Tigh "frakkin' Cylons!" impression, but when I went to create a character, I saw that Cylons got bonus XP, so I joined the Toasters. If that sentence didn't make much sense to you...don't worry. If you like blowing stuff up in space, you don't need to know a lot about Battlestar Galactica's complex and often contradictory lore to do it. No one reads quest text for MMORPGs, anyway. …mehr
Sony is reneging on a promise to reboot its PlayStation Network and start bringing its 77 million customers back online anytime soon. Sony posted an update to its PlayStation blog Friday stating it was "unaware of the extent of the (network) attack" adding it needs to "conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system" before it can restart its network. …mehr
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Tablet doesn't stand on its own. But when paired with its matching keyboard dock, the Transformer morphs into a tablet that strikes an admirable balance between productivity and entertainment. At $399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model (or $499 for the 32GB Wi-Fi model, prices as of May 6, 2011), the Transformer is the least expensive Android 3.0 tablet to date; and the smaller-capacity version bests Apple's iPad 2 by $100. …mehr
Creative's $90 is one of the best headsets to use if you want to tune out the world around you. Creative claims that the headset's earphones let you hear sounds from multiple directions, (above, below, and around), so you feel almost fully immersed in sound environments. It does a great job at doing what it promises, though it could produce better bass, and its microphone could be less powerful. …mehr

With a body measuring about the width and height of a business card, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX10 point-and-shoot camera ($280 as of May 4, 2011) packs a surprising amount of features into a slight frame. It offers not only (very limited) manual controls for shutter and aperture, but also a buffet of futuristic extras: three separate ways to capture 3D images, 1080i video capture at a smooth 60 frames per second, and modes for low-light shooting, panorama images, and backlight correction. What's more, the WX10 has a 7X-optical-zoom lens, which is slightly mind-boggling given the camera's size. …mehr
