Motorola Xoom WiFi model up for grabs

The WiFi only Xoom is for sale at last - as part of a questionable strategy, Motorola first launched the 3G + WiFi (4G as a later software update) variant of their Android 3.0  (Honeycomb) tablet.

Just as the 3G version, the newly launched WiFi model packs a 10.1" WXGA (1280x800) display, supporting 1080p playback. The rear-facing camera captures 720p video, to be played back on the devices own screen, or your TV via the HDMI out.

Inside, it's housing a dual core Tegra 2 processor, clocked at 1GHz, along with up to 32GB flash storage.

Humax HD-FOX T2 (Freeview HD) Review

Recently, I reviewed the Humax Freesat HD, but then I thought: what if I don't want a satellite fitted - what if I really want the plug and play functionality and ease of not waiting for the professionals come around and hook you up? 

So I took a good look at the market for these bad-boys and found that you can actually get a Freeview HD (DVB-T2) box pretty cheap from your local, Argos or from Amazon. So, off I trotted looking for the best deal, and eventually deciding that I could not be bothered with any hassle, so I nipped into Argos and parted with £149.99 of my hard earned cash, all in exchange for the HUMAX HD-FOX T2 HD receiver.

Humax FoxSat-HDR 320GB (Freesat HD Recorder) Review

This is the last of my Humax STB reviews for now, but I’ve probably saved the best until last. 


This little box is a combination of all that I’ve previously reviewed, it combines the pleasing aesthetics, a sleek UI, internal HDD storage and near perfect picture quality. To create a product which any AV rack would be proud to store, and any TV would be proud to offer a display of.

Humax FoxSat-HD (Freesat) Review

Humax FOXSAT-HD - Review
After reviewing one of Humax's freeview plus DVRs, I’ve been lucky enough to get a good look and hands on with the similar, but very different, Humax "freesat HD" box. This product is slightly smaller than the 9150T, and has a few extra and also a few less features than the counterpart that I recently reviewed.

As you can see above, Asus are launching not just one, but four all new Eee form factors - and you can bet each one will have a variety of options and price points to suit your specific needs.

Microsoft announces new Xbox 360 ("Slim")!

Some news from Microsoft to counteract all the recent hype that Apple have had. Microsoft announced the new version of the current Xbox 360, it shares the same name as the predecessor but is a slimmer, well smaller, version.


It is covered in vents and is now shiny, black and more space-age or nerdy looking. And it included a massive 250Gb HDD and is not a standard hard drive so wont be inter-changeable but Microsoft will sell a connector too transfer your data from your old hard drive to the new one.

Apple Mac Mini gets a refresh

News just in: Mac Mini updates from Apple.

And I was not correct, although the upgrades are available it is not the same spec as the Macbook Pro, but does include a 2.4Ghz core 2 duo processor, 2gb Ram and a 320gb hard drive for the basic model... 

Apple TV no longer their "hobby"! iPhone look-a-like update leaked.

Engadget was tipped (and confirmed) that the new Apple TV is in the works, and looks very much like the iPhone [ED:3GS - not like the new one] it would seem from the limited info available that the main focus is on streaming, and thus capacities will be limited even more, from current 160GB to iPhone likening 16GB.


The much sought after 1080p will finally be available, and it'll run iPhone OS on the underworks (the skin over the top will clearly be more media based) instead of it's own variant on OSX like it currently does, on Apple's A4 chip.


Price will be (unofficial, remember) $99 - which will probably translate to around £85 regardless of exchange rate...


It is described as being small and iPhone like, with only a power socket and video out.
