“The Lenovo IdeaPad S12 with Nvidia Ion graphics is a game changer for the industry,” said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of the GPU business unit at Nvidia. “It’s a powerful testament to what a small PC can do if it’s optimized with Ion. The thin and affordable S12 does everything you expect a PC to do including watching movies, playing games, flipping through vacatIon pictures or editing family videos.”

29iPods are the most amazing little music players, but they have one flaw. They all look the same. Well, almost all the same. You have your choice between a few colors now. With the ipod shuffle and nano you get your choice of silver, teal, red, green, purple, and the nano also has black.

But now there are ipod skins, allowing you to transform your ipod into a personalized MP3 player that is unique to your designs. No longer do you need to follow the ipod code of having one of the pre-approved colors.

You can jazz up your ipod skins by using your favorite sports team, band, maybe a pattern like diamond plating, or possibly a favorite celebrity or your own design.

Designing an ipod skin just requires that the final image you use is at least 500 kb to provide enough sharpness to be satisfied with the final result. Desktop wallpaper is an excellent source for images and ideas to create your ipod skins.

You can create ipod skins for not just the nano and shuffle, but also the video and touch ipod as well. Wondering what an ipod skin is? It’s an adhesive sticker made from vinyl which is precision cut and protects your ipod from scratches and damage. They are easily removable, leaving no residue, and can last up to 6 months or more.

Nokia E-52

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

We encountered something really interesting when we compared the speed of both devices. Both handsets sport identical hardware, including the 600MHz ARM11 CPUs, but the Nokia E52 runs noticeably slower alongside of the E55 with identical tasks. However, this doesn’t feel annoying and won´t get in the way.

nokia-e52In-call quality is better, but the loudness is lower. As a whole, the difference is not stunning and the phone performs satisfactorily. The battery is extremely robust once again, so we managed to achieve pretty similar results to what we experienced with the E55. We had to charge it at the end of the third day, despite the heavy use and serious Wi-Fi abuse we subjected it to.

All totaled up, it seems the Nokia E52 is as good as its cousin, the E55. The only noticeable difference between the two is the keyboard, but it´s the same blood that runs through their veins. Our final opinion is the E52 is definitely worth the money. Whether you opt for the E52 or would rather get the E55 depends on your keyboard preference. No matter the option you pick, you won´t regret your choice. The software version of our unit is 021.010.
