All CELLPHONE AND ACCESSORIES REVIEW

One short week ago, NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce GTX 295, and with it reclaimed the overall 3D performance crown from a resurgent AMD. As you may know by now, the dual-GPU powered GeForce GTX 295 features a pair of re-worked GT200 GPUs, manufactured using a more advanced 55nm fabrication process than its 65nm predecessor. Looking at the specifications for the individual GPUs used on the GeForce GTX 295, however, revealed something interesting. You see, the GPUs on the GeForce GTX 295 featured a full complement of 240 shader cores, like the former flagship GTX 280, but they had “only” a 448-bit memory interface. The GeForce GTX 280 had a 512-bit interface.

NVIDIA didn’t simply lop off a memory partition to create the GPUs for the GTX 295 though. The 55nm GT200B GPUs are fully capable of utilizing a 512-bit interface. NVIDIA chose to implement a 448-bit memory interface per GPU on the GTX 295 to decrease board complexity, and quite frankly because they didn’t need to go any wider to have the fastest graphics card on the market. But that meant the GT200B GPU, as it’s implemented on the GTX 295, wasn’t being used to its fullest potential. This changes today.

Although the GeForce GTX 285 we’ll be showing you here hasn’t exactly been a well kept secret, its final specifications and performance have been. As its name implies, the GeForce GTX 285 is a step up from the GTX 280. Just how large of a step up remains to be seen, however. Hopefully, we’ll be able to find out in the pages ahead as we take the GeForce GTX 285 for a spin through a complete battery of benchmarks, including some numbers from the just-released hot new game title, Mirror’s Edge.

There are millions of fans of the Apple Macbooks who look forward to unique and improved versions of the laptops. The Mac mini is an innovative concept by Sait Alanyali that makes the Macbook look even more interesting. The color is classic white with the logo of Apple engraved on it (Sait is a huge Apple fan). The screen is spacious enough to be viewed with great precision. The exterior designs resemble a box which makes it look more compact and elegant. The appearance of the Mac mini gives a feel that it is extremely portable and can be carried easily on tours and for any other outdoor activities.

The new pocket scanner by the name ScanU is a device that surely is slated to make scanning easy for all of us. The device is made up of 3 units: the central bigger unit hosts the roll out screen and display complete with corresponding control units, another unit is the rechargeable battery with a USB interface and the third being a storage unit also with USB interface. The OLED screen gives the required illumination for scanning and also to capture the data to be scanned. The device is dual side scanning device which enables to capture data even if the book is closed. It comes out to be a very handy device!

Google is always working to release new and effective Internet solutions.  Continuing in this tradition, Google’s Talk messenger application has recently been updated with video and voice capabilities.  The new release is not meant to be a contender to Skype, as it does not possess the ability to connect to the standard phone network or voice mail support.

The audio and video is high quality, though.  Since Google Talk’s video traffic goes through Google servers, it’s expected to be more consistent as far as the connection then Skype since Google has endless bandwidth and server space. If you’re using an older computer, the PC may suffer poor performance during usage since the application utilizes a lot of resources.  There are no such issues with any recent system, however.

Straying from the path of other video chat products, Google Voice and Video uses a proprietary plug-in instead of Flash. A miniscule download of 2MB supports Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google’s own Chrome on a PC as well as Firefox on a Mac.  Details have not yet been released on support for other platforms, such as Linux, but ports for them may come later. Google Video and Voice made its official public debut at midday on Tuesday, November 18th. Now that Google provides Voice and Video, users have access to a vast array of tools with one login, including email, voice, chat, and soon even SMS. If Google ties in Youtube and Google Docs better in the future, the Google account will be nearly unstoppable.

Google’s Voice and Video is quite simple to use.  When the option is available, a “Video & More” button is shown in the chat messaging window.  Once selected, the plug-in will be installed and immediately accessible for video calls with friends.
