Hardware Reviews

There appear to be a few people who WANT SOME PRIZES! We've got a double-shot of reviews stemming from the contest.

First up: The Toshiba e740 Pocket PC - Here's some of what our contest entrant had to say about it: The casing is made of aluminum, is polished for a smooth and glossy finish and is very solid. The stylus is dark gray (same colour as the accent of the PDA), light, but not too light, and fits snug in the stylus bay on the top of the e740. The screen is bright, responsive to the stylus, and has very little give when depressed (unlike the HP Jornada series). What I mean is the layers of glass and touch filament are extremely close together. The Jornada series? layers seem farther apart, making for a ?cushier? feeling when touching the screen. Next up is the Audigy 2: Is it really all it's cracked up to be? Our contest entrant might just have the answer! Here's a snippet: Once upon a time in a town called Anytown, USA.... A company named Creative released the Soundblaster Audigy Soundcard.... Gamers and Sound Enthusiasts alike rejoiced! They threw out their old Soundblaster cards and stepped into a new generation of sound with 24 bit audio and Dolby 5.1 Surround. All was well until the mighty giant stirred again.... What was to come sounded like something from a dream, a successor to the Audigy, it couldn't be! Ahh but it was! While some of us would rather stick with out Turtle Beach, the Audigy 2 does seem quite impressive. Give it a read!
