TiVoToGo is a privilege served up to Windows users only. Well that's all about to change, if the crafty coders over at Sourceforge have anything to say about it. According to several sources (most significantly, the 'forgers themselves), a program that's been a year in the making -- the so-called TiVo File Decoder

The MobiBlu Cube2 is the direct successor to the DAH-1500i, a tiny and attractive mp3- player in the form of a cube. It is this tiny package and the cube shape that made them so popular. It is also this shape that somehow became a trademark for them, with the cubic shape becoming instantly recognizable as a MobiBlu player.

DV Hardware reviewed the
Sennheiser MX 550 earphones: "About a year ago I bought the Sennheiser MX 550 earphones for my MP3 player. After using a pair of Sony earphones that came with my Sony Walkman for more than 6 years the right earphone suddenly stopped functioning. It's kinda annoying to only hear the left channel of music so I decided to buy a new pair of headphones.."
The Moving Webcam: Logitech Orbit MP Review
Posted by: Newsfactory on: 11/06/2006 05:23 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ] · 864 views
Let’s face it, when we think of webcams most of us think of a $30 webcam that you get with the purchase of your PC. And most of the time it’s placed on top of your monitor. Logitech hoped to change this image and make webcams “exciting” again with the introduction of the Logitech Orbit webcam back in 2003. Today we will actually be looking at the third version of this product.

Samsung SC-DC164 DVD Camcorder Review
Posted by: Newsfactory on: 09/22/2006 05:45 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ] · 832 views
Now to cut through the crap and get down to the nitty-gritty, would I recommend this DVD camcorder to the everyday consumer? The answer is yes if you are not planning on recording in low light conditions or require decent battery life. Every other feature works flawlessly and as described and presented. It is easy to use and practically fool-proof if you spend a couple hours with a RW single layer disc and tinker around a bit.
