Shiny Video Preview: HP 2133 Mini-Note sub-notebook
Dan and I may’ve fondled the Acer Aspire One last week, but over in Berlin, Lucy got to grips with HP’s Eee PC-like offering, the 2133 Mini-Note.
Weighing 1.19kg, the screen measures 8.9″, and it runs on either Linux or Windows XP/Vista. Check out what Lucy has to say about it, in the video above…
Shiny Video Preview: HP Voodoo Envy 133 notebook
Al’s only just finished telling you about the Voodoo Envy 133 laptop from HP, however Lucy’s one step ahead of him, as she’s just filmed a video preview of what’s being claimed as the ‘world’s thinnest laptop’, bumping Apple’s MacBook Air off its throne…
Shiny Video Review: Medion GoPal Glamour Edition E3215 sat-nav
Announced less than a month ago, Medion’s limited editon GoPal E3215 Glamour Edition sat-nav gets a firm once-over by Lucy, who took the device, plus her video camera, out for a spin in her car. Will the 3.5″ touchscreen, Western European maps, traffic updates and 2D/3D display impress her? If it impresses you, it’s just £149.99…
Weak bloggers cave in to Metallica's new album non-review demands
This story’s a bit of a mess. We know some UK bloggers were invited to listen to an “unmixed” demo of the new Metallica album and weren’t required to sign any non-disclosure agreements or stick to an embargo regarding what they heard.
Which meant they could all, quite legally, tell the world all about it on their blogs.
So sites like The Quietus ran with reviews (cached version here) – only to get told to take them down shortly afterwards. This has, predictably enough, turned into a mammoth Metallica HATE-FEST with everyone blaming the put-upon band for trying to break the internet again…
Shiny Video Review: Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset
Admittedly Bluetooth headsets aren’t the most thrilling of products to review, so we made a good call getting Zara to do the video for it. I think I could watch her reviewing toast and still be entertained!
The headset features an improved antenna and microphone due to the extended shape, plus has DPS technology for noise cancellation and voice clarification. Out…
Shiny Video Review Exclusive: Acer Aspire One sub-notebook
Dan and I were the first people in the world yesterday to get hold of the Aspire One sub-notebook, which was announced on Tuesday. We used it for the majority of the day, and were deeply impressed with how ‘grown-up’ it was in comparison to the Eee.
Check it out in the video above, and if you’d like to get your fingerprints all over that glossy exterior, you’ll have to save up £199 for the Linux version, or £299 for the Windows XP version, which both launch in July….
Shiny Video Review: Fujifilm J50 digital camera
Fujifilm’s J50 digital camera has just been released, after first being spotted a couple of months ago. Measuring 23mm thick, it has a 5x optical zoom and 8.2-megapixels, plus 15 pre-programmed shooting modes. If you fancy one after Zara’s review above, pick one up for £97 from PC World…
Shiny Video Review: Creative Vado camcorder
Joining the battle between Disgo and Flip, Creative has launched the Vado camcorder, which will set you back £79.99 for…well, what is definitely a budget camcorder which takes video in a 640 x 480 resolution and is available in silver or hot pink from next month at PC World…
Shiny Video Review: LG KF700 mobile phone
There’s a 3″ touchscreen display, alpha-numeric keypad and shortcut dial for the most-used functions. HSDPA, a 3.0-megapixel camera, and MPEG4 video player round off some of the more notable specs – check out what Susi thinks of it in the video review, above…
Shiny Video Preview: SuperSmoker electronic cigarette
This video is hilarious, as most Zara videos are. We’ve seen her review countess vibrators and sex toys, but nothing compares to seeing her puff away on the SuperSmoker electronic cigarette. They’re legal to smoke indoors, and cost £79. Watch the video, I implore you – it’s bloody amazing, albeit hearing her say ‘smoking is cool’ makes me rather alarmed…
