The Nokia N97 is all set to hit the stores in the first half of 2009. With a whacking price of $693 and 550 Euros, this phone is supposedly the most advanced computer mobile in the world.

HP LaserJet 1200 Review
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008HP LaserJet 1200, a BW laser printer with a 1200 x 1200 dpi and the best point is that it can really work. The laserjet 1200 printer by HP is making the right kind of waves since its launch. It works for a 1200n Ethernet connection and comes with the facility of scan extension.
If you have to print a lot of letters, manuals and documentation, this is the right choice for you. Also, the price quoted by HP is way too reasonable. The bottleneck is that the printer works extremely slow when made to churn out sophisticated graphics. We are talking of the PostScript mode. It works perfectly though in the PCL mode. Hence it is advisable to use it with the Ghostscript driver like the pxlmono or hpjis.
“1200” uses PostScript effectively for all the fundamental printing purpose whereas HPLIP driver is paramount for advanced functions. The paper tray is very robust and allows easy insertion.
Also parallel port connection seems to work best for it. Using it with a USB connection device seems to be a lost idea.
A typical Linux user will always boast how the printer is an able ally in tackling high-volume documentation if the texts are simple.
Dell Inspiron Mini 12 Review
Monday, November 3rd, 2008To keep pace with Asus’s successful flights in the Ultra portable laptop race, Dell has launched its latest Dell Inspiron Mini 12. It has set industry benchmarks with launching the first 12 inch notepad. Dell in its new avatar will put forth two variants; 1.3GHz Atom Z520 model and a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 version.
2008 OS options will be handled by Windows XP and Ubuntu. Come 2009 and Windows Vista will gear up to take the baton from XP. 6-cell battery upgrade will be another welcome relief. Those having worked on Dell gizmos before have had their complaint books open for battery deficits.
Mini 12 is definitely larger but at the same time thinner, standing at 21 mm.
Though it is slated to be released this November, local distributors are expected to have the final say regarding the release. It is being made available for $600. This might not be too small a price but given that the form factor design for the Inspiron is superb, the price may be well worth it.
Mini 12 and Mini 9 are fighting for their debut. It may be worthwhile for the Dell team to push away the mini 9 plan and get going with the apparently better mini 12. This might turn out to be a better business idea.
Rounding off the world of Gizmos in style
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008The site is a ready-reckoner to a study of gadgets and latest technology. Gadget Advisor focuses on the concept of niche rather than generic and hence rather than presenting all kind of news, it specifically concentrates on the top products which make a splash on the given day. This helps a viewer to align to the main news directly instead of rummaging through an array of mediocre news.
The site evenly distributes news among its various categories. The first categories are Gadgets. It follows to Tech News and then takes us through a tide of Computer Hardware and Computer Software recommendations. For those who want active testimonies, there is a section of ‘Featured Articles’ helping in gaining foresight about the objects.
The site is extremely user friendly and has integrated search bars for better search. Navigational links are well distributed throughout the site. Its ‘home’ section and the ‘about us’ section give complete idea about the mission of the site to first timers.
The resource section is outright bewildering. It deals in a wide repertoire. It talks about ‘free online games’ and ‘game directories’. Apart from this, it talks of ‘DVD software’ and ‘Audio editor’. Insight on ‘multimedia software’ and ‘sound recorder’ further increases the lure of the site. This certainly is a traffic attracter. Trivia and interesting facts and figures add to the significant human touch to the site.
Let’s take few ready instances of gadget reporting. The site recently held gadget features on Media Port UP 300x multimedia headset. It also reported on the H2O iDive 300 underwater speakers and iPod case. It can make reports for various sections of gadgetry and visitors can expect anything within its arc if it is worth being reported. So before buying the next Logitech remote control, make a short visit to the web campus of gadget advisor.com. You may just have the right kind of advice going.
