GoPro releases first footage from 1080p HD Hero Wide helmet cam

GoPro announced its 1080p HD Hero Wide helmet cam earlier this year, back when people were jumping off of high things and speeding around other things whilst wearing helmets. Now the summer adventure season is drawing to a close, the winter one is starting to develop, and the company has released a series of high-def, high-adrenaline clips to show what that camera can do -- most filmed when the days were still long and the sun still high. Sadly the videos are not embeddable, but click on that re...

Nokia Surge

While Nokia has not had a lot of success with many of its higher-end models in the U.S., the E71x showed that the world's largest mobile device maker can meet this market with a capable handset.

Price check — Runco’s LS-3 projector within reach of mere mortals

We'll admit that sour grapes coming from the direction of our wallets usually make us look right past Runco's offerings. It's great stuff from a good company, but let's just say if you slip the Runco logo into a Rorschach test, we won't come up with "affordable."

It's a 1080p DLP projector that packs a list of R...

BlackBerry Curve 8520

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 shows that the future of the BlackBerry is here... kind of. By far the stand-out feature of the Curve 8520 is its new optical trackpad, which replaces the trackball for navigation -- and it rocks. In a confusing move though, the 8520 is the third Curve available on T-Mobile, in addition to the original and the 8900, which was released early this year. The 8250 has several elements that depart from traditional BlackBerrys, beyond just the trackpad. Features such as de...

Dell Inspiron 11z

The Inspiron 11z is a new netbook from Dell, hoping to change the way we think of the ultra-portable segment. Instead of using the long-favored Intel Atom processor, Dell decided to use the new ultra-low voltage Celeron 723 and the GS45 chipset. On paper the processor has more grunt, and when paired with X4500 integrated graphics, it has a huge advantage over Atom machines. In this review we take an in-depth look at the new 11z, to see if it is the netbook we have all been waiting for. Our Dell...
