PowerBeats By Monster

These are fairly new headphones realsed threw LeBron James. They are marketed as the ultimate work out headphones. What you get in the box is the headphones them selves, a monster cord extension, caring case and some papers. They will run you about $180 dollars at moster stores. What makes these headphones special is their adjustable ear hook with a flexible arm designed specifically for sports enthusiasts and athletes. However monster has not forgotten about the sound quality they feature duel drives that separate bass and midrange frequencies. The cord has the integrated iPhone and ipod support allowing you to make hand feee calls. They come in red white and black. With my experience these are very nice headphones and if you can get a deal on them i would defiantly recommend them.

Flip Slide HD


The Flip slide Hd shoots 720p and 30fps. It is your standar HD camera, but what sets it apart is the mobility. It will run you about $280 which i think is way to expensive and i will go into detailes later. What your get with all Flip cameras is the Flip sharing software, it has a wonderful interface and it is vary simple to use. Some features the camera has include zoom in and out, instant play back, and a touch screen. Some things i wish it would have is auto focus and a price drop of about $90 dollars. I say this because if you happen to have AT&T you can buy the iPhone 4 for less and it has the same video capabilities plus 1 million plus features this also goes for the HTC Evo 4g. I would try to shy you away from buying the Flip slide HD. In stead look at the Flip ultra HD, it has more cases and 3rd party products available.

iPhone 4

The iPhone 4 is just another way Apple has changed the way phones will be for years to come. When you first open the box the iPhone is waiting right there and when you pick one up for the first time it feels very different. It has a sold feel and and is very skinny. The glass on both sides adds some weight to it but it feels good in your hand. The phone its self is very squared off and and all the buttons feel solid and durable. Some of the new technical features are the new iOS4 software wich includes multi tasking and home screen background and also facetime. Facetime is the iPhone 4 video chat, for now it is only form iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 and over over a wifi network. Some awesome hardware features include a 5 mage-pixel camera a flash a video camera that shots 720p 30fps (full HD). The camera has tap to focus and also the videos camera has the option to leave the flash on as a light. One
thing that i found kinda sucks is some of the applications were not upgraded for iOS4 and when you try to multi task with them
they just quit but that has noting to do with the iPhone 4 its self. What comes in the box is your iPhone usb cord and a pair of standard iPhone headphones. Also the charging brick some manuals and some apple stickers. With the new gyroscope all the apps are going to become more life like so that is great feature. I believe that the iPhone 4 is the start to a new phone revolution.

Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch


The Bamboo Pen and Touch is the most natural way to achieve hard tasks or everyday tasks on a computer. When you surf the web its as if you don't even have to think you just move your hands just as if you were doing any other task. When you use the bamboo pen it is like drawing on paper like we have all been doing since we were little. What comes in the box is the super slim bamboo tablet the bamboo tablet pen (like a stylest, but the bentley model) and software that shows you what it can do then you can easily try it right after. A super bonus that just pushes the product over the top is the software it comes with, Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 7.0 Win/6.0 Mac and Nik® Color Efex Pro™ 3.0 WE3 This a very user friendly product and company. The tablet its self can be used as a track pad from a lap top and you also have the options to use the pen, the tablet has sensores that can recognize whither you are using your finger or pen with the led bar in between the two buttons (right and left click or custom shortcuts). If you feel you don't spend enough time on a computer to have use for this product you are wrong. Using a mouse or a regular lap top track pad limits your hand movement usually resulting in hand cramps and just a bad experience, with the pen & touch your hands are free to spread out and move any ware they want. I can valge for my mother i showed her my bamboo that same day we went out and bought her one. Now to get into some of the more special task that the pen especially useful for, this is only a few there is thousands of others, one i found it is a perfect fit for is for Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 7.0 Win/6.0 Mac and Nik® Color Efex Pro™ 3.0 WE3 and paint. This is equipped with multi-touch technology which is truly futuristic. You can tap any ware on the tablet to select something. The Pen also has a replaceable Pen tip which has a little give to it so it feels like a real pen. Another awesome feature is the eraser like top which also has so give, it is perfect to erase your mistakes with out dulling the tip, a cool short cut i found is the pen has a lillte rocking button right above the tip, it is a quick erasing feature if you hold it in some programs. They have a bunch of tablets that are more designed for certain task you HAVE to check they out to see if they have on you will like chances are they will. To try to sum this product up in a few words i would have to say natural and user friendly and MUST HAVE.

iPad


The Apple iPad has and will continue to blow my mind. You cannot truly say anything about the iPad until you have had an experience with one in your hands. You will no longer think of it as a bigger iPod touch or iPhone, any longer. I will admit I was sceptical about this product when it was first announced but then it grew on me. I believe that the iPad will be turned into an object that we will use in our every day lives at school, work, and in the comfort of our homes. At the moment there are three different choices when it come down to buying an iPad, you have your 16gb wifi only model for $499, 32gb for $599 and a 64gb for $699. Later in April they will be releasing the wifi / 3g version which gives you 3g coverage on the go. The supplier will be AT&T and the price is said to be around $15 a month, with no expected contract. What separates the iPad from every other tablet is the revolutionary applications. It has opened doors to app developers that they never knew could be opened. They now have full HD apps that stream on the Ipads beautiful 9.7 inch back lit led screen. It has simplified every day tasks like surfing the web. They have completely redone all the classic programs you would expect to find on the Ipad from the ground up, making them a perfect fit for the Ipad. They also have added two programs from Iwork which are Pages and Keynote ( I will be doing app reviews when i have my new youtube channel set up ). When you are holding it in your hand it is so natural to do every day tasks that you do on the computer you do not have to think you just do. It is a truly amazing piece of technology and you should definitely consider buying an iPad.

Sony Dynamic Stereo Headphones MDR-7506

These head phones are hands down the best headphones I have ever owned. You can not even compare them to the cheaper imitations like Skull Candy and ifrogz. They are the mandatory head phones you are required to have if you chooses to attend a school for music. Surprisingly, they cost much less then their competition. They cost only 100 dollars, compared to some of the Bose Head Sets that go up in the 300s. Even Beats by Dre cannot compare to their sound quality of these headphones, I am not saying Bose and dres headsets are bad.What I am saying is the sound quality is unmatched at the price of this head set. If you are in the market for head phones you definitely have to check these out. You will not be sorry.

BattleFeild Bad Company 2

Released shortly after Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2 did not get nearly as much hype. But the longer it has been out the more attention it has been getting. It redefines first person shooters and takes them to a whole new level. The realism in this game continues to blow my mind. The campaign has a very good story line accompanied by the anticipated online feature. Online is based on 4 different roles Assault, Engineer, Recon and Medic. Assault gives you the option to drop ammo boxes for resupply you can choose from various assault rifles, engineer gives you a special drill to fix vehicles and give you an arsenal of rockets and mines to take down vehicles, as well you have a choice of a number of sub machine guns. Recon is a sniping class that gives you the opinion between C4 and a mortar strike. Having a good medic on your team can mean the difference between winning and losing a match. They are light machine gunners that can hold medic packs which will refill your health rapidly, or defibrillators that can revive a fallen team mate within a certain time of their death. If your squad utilizes and perfects all four of these classes you will find tremendous of success online. There are three game types available on line, squad death match four teams of four in an all out battle to reach 50 kills first. Then there is rush, there are two bombsites per stage and the attacking team has to work to plant the bombs and move on to the next two. The attacking team has only 75 lives per stage. It resets when you reach a new stage. If the attackers blow up all stages in the required amount of lives they win. If the defenders can hold the attackers off long enough they win. Finally there is conquest which has 3 flags and the team who can hold most of the flags the longest will win. Over all one of the best first person shooters I have played.
