Review: eLocity A7 Android Tablet

I’ve been playing with this surprisingly fast Android tablet for about a week now and so far I am impressed. Stream TV’s eLocity Android 2.2 powered tablet might not be an iPad killer, but it sure puts up a good fight. The solid 7-inch tablet is powered by NVIDIA’s dual core Tegra 2 processor, comes [...]

BSG PC

This has to be one of the most detailed PC case mods I have seen in a very long time, and the fact that I am a huge BSG fan also helps. The Battlestar Galactica PC mod features everything you expect from the BSG show including a dock for the vipers and a front loading [...]

Looks like the guys over at Gizmodo have dug up a brand new patent from Apple that shows off yet another truly innovative design from the company.

iPod Pocket Dock AV

Staying in hotels for a few months out of the year have taught me to ensure I stay entertained while I’m abroad, and since most hotels are now equipped with a modern TV that contains video inputs bringing my iPod with me for visual entertainment is a must.

TV out locked on iPod classic and iPod nano

I wonder if Apple is taking a page from Sony on this one. It seems that Apple has redesigned the TV out functionality of the new iPod classic and Nanos so that they no longer work with older third-party TV out cables and docks. The new classics and nanos require an Apple authentication chip in [...]
