ASUS Eee PC 900 8.9-Inch Netbook provides the power of a full-sized laptop in a compact body with a larger 8.9-inch screen. Even with the larger size of the ASUS Eee PC 900 when compared to the original Eee PC, the new model still weighs under 2 pounds perfect for students toting to school or road warriors packing away to Wi-Fi hotspots. And because it uses flash memory instead of a hard drive (with 20 GB of storage), the Eee PC 900 is optimal for weathering rough handling and sharing space in overstuffed bags.

Other ASUS Eee PC 900  features include a 1.3-megapixel webcam integrated into the bezel above the LCD, a Secure Digital memory card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), multiple USB ports, and a VGA output for connecting to a monitor. ASUS Eee PC 900 comes preinstalled with the Linux operating system, and it’s also compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

For the students and professionals, the ASUS Eee PC 900 comes with a powerful selection of software to maximize personal productivity over 40 built-in applications. The Open Office suite of software enables the user to open, edit and create documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases that are compatible with Microsoft Office. For journalists, photographers and other professionals who need to use a computer in the field to create, to communicate and to collaborate with other colleagues, the ASUS Eee PC 900’s combination of power, extreme portability and rugged build makes it the ideal computing solution.

ASUS Eee PC 900 is also a great choice for young students, with a built-in Dictionary that’s great for homework, and it includes two modes of intuitive graphic user interface design to accommodate both experienced and inexperienced PC users. The Eee PC also handles your digital images, movies, and music as well as Internet radio.

Love or loath Apple as a company, there's absolutely no denying that the iPod touch was simply the most desirable MP3 player going when it launched. That's not to say that other devices didn't offer better audio quality, or pack more features they did but they didn't have that "it" factor that Apple has such a knack of adorning its products with.

All of which leads us rather nicely to the launch of the second generation iPod touch, of which we've cunningly managed to acquire a 32GB version. That's important because at this capacity I feel pretty confident saying most users will be able to squeeze in their entire music collection. It certainly makes my 4GB original iPhone seem just a little impotent.

On the surface you’d be hard pushed to tell what's new about the 2nd generation iPod touch. It still has the same super-shiny aluminum back which still seems to hunt down scratches - I know denim is tough, but honestly, I'd have thought metal could take on cotton in a fight and win - and it still sports a 3.5in, 480 x 320 pixel multi-touch display, now the yellowish one sported by the iPhone 3G. It also has a slightly more rounded design, which is just about noticeable in the hand.

Look a little closer, though, and there's one addition to the left edge of the device which is actually pretty baffling: volume controls. Their addition isn't what's surprising, but rather quite how Apple thought leaving them off the original touch was a good idea is what has me puzzled. I don't know anyone who wants to have to take their music player out of their pocket just to turn up the volume!

The other (arguably) major new hardware additions are a speaker - which is good enough for watching the odd vodcast or TV show in bed but not much else - and Nike+iPod support for athletic types. I'd argue the latter isn't that important in a device this size but if you really want to take something this large jogging with you, so be it.

Like its predecessor, the Lumix DMC-TZ5, Panasonic's Lumix DMC-ZS3 offers an interesting combination of features, including a 12x zoom lens and 720p AVCHD video capture, in an attractive, compact body. And with better photo quality, slightly faster performance, and a wider angle lens, the ZS3 does improve upon the older model. It also holds pretty well compared with competitors like the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS.

Available in blue, silver, black, and red, the ZS3 (aka the TZ7 elsewhere) has a similar little brother, the ZS1, which differs in some obvious and not-so-obvious ways for their approximately $100 price differential. Though they both shoot 10-megapixel photos, the ZS3 actually uses a 12-megapixel sensor in order to maintain the same angle of view 16:9 and 4:3 aspect modes. The ZS3 also offers a 720p HD movie mode with stereo and a mini HDMI output versus the ZS1's monaural VGA, and has a larger 3-inch LCD.

At 7.7 ounces with dimensions of 2.4 inches by 4.1 inches by 1.3 inches, the ZS3 counts as compact, and fits quite comfortably in a jacket pocket. For the most part, it uses the same design as the TZ5--both attractive and functional--and it's smaller and lighter. Panasonic swapped the traditional locations of the shutter and the mode dial, placing the former to the left of the latter. After a while, it starts to feel more natural, however. A dial lets you switch among camera and movie modes, as well as two slots for program exposure (scene) modes--these have the same choices, but allow the camera to remember two of your last selections--Intelligent Auto and an odd Clipboard mode that captures low-resolution photos to internal memory for fast display. Panasonic fixed the placement of the microphone; though there's still a warning in the manual to watch you don't put your fingers over it, it's farther in toward the center and didn't pose any problems.

The four navigation buttons toggle among the exposure compensation, flash, macro, and self-timer options. Depending upon your current zoom, it automatically chooses standard or telemacro. The ZS3 adds a macro zoom mode, which is basically digital zoom; I suggest you avoid it. Even though the photos look fine when small, I kept forgetting I'd left it on that mode rather than the standard AF Macro.

The exclusive creation of world-renown designer Neil Poulton, this portable storage solution offers the supreme speed of FireWire 800 along with FireWire 400 and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interfaces for true universal connectivity. Conveniently bus-powered and plug & play, it's ideal for backup, video storage and large data volume exchange on the go. Simply plug it into just about any computer anywhere for backup, video storage and large data volume exchange. Its unique scratch-protected aluminum shell and shock-resistant rubber bumper make the LaCie Rugged Hard Disk especially resistant to harsh elements for extra protection along the road of your adventures.

he Lacie Rugged sports USB, FireWire 400, FireWre 800 and power connections for maximum versatility

There is also a power output that ends with a USB 2.0 connection for use with older devices or for when you find your laptop isn't delivering sufficient throughput. We didn't find this a problem, but you may find yourself having to use up two USB ports with this drive.

Lacie supplies this drive with hardware drivers for all Windows operating systems, as well as Apple's Mac OS X, allowing you to format the drive to suit your needs. When formatting the drive, you can also easily create separate partitions for either OS.

When it came to testing, we found this a reasonable if not super-fast drive. As expected, the FireWire 400 and 800 connections proved faster than USB 2.0.

The Lacie Rugged lacks some of the charm of the Freecom ToughDrive Sport in terms of design and, while it shares a similar weight, it is considerably more bulky. However, for sheer versatility when out and about in extreme locations, this is the better choice

Features:

- Rugged, portable storage for people on the go.
- Scratch-protected aluminum shell & shock-resistant rubber bumper.
- Triple Interface bus-powered, plug & play.
- Maximum speed: up to 800Mbits/s with FireWire 800.

Not much was heard about gaming accessories today except for the Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard. The keyboard created a ruckus at the CES 2009 and even won the Best of Innovations in the category of Electronic Gaming. The G19 comes with a colour GamePanel LCD which gives the player unique information about some 60 games on the LCD screen.

It also comes with VOiP data, if you are interested in voice communication. If that were not enough the G19 also has a clock and a CPU load. With about 12 programmable G-Keys, you can expect to have a really interactive session while playing your favourite games.

Excellent high-contrast screen does a great job of simulating a printed page; large library of tens of thousands of e-books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; built-in free wireless "Whispernet" data network--no PC needed; built-in keyboard for notes; SD card expansion slot; compatible with Windows and Mac machines.

With its free built-in wireless capabilities and PC-free operation, Amazon's Kindle holds a distinct advantage over Sony's Reader and is a promising evolution of the electronic book--but Amazon needs to bring down the pricing for both the device and the content to attract a wider audience.
