I remember the last time we went “Wow” when Belkin came out with the N1. It had set a trend for routers when it came to design. Here’s another leader in routers who took the same path. It’s none other than Linksys.

Introducing the all new designer Wireless routers from Linksys. The two new models are the Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Broadband Router (WRT160N) and Ultra RangePlus Wireless-N Gigabit Broadband Router (WRT310N). It works as a wireless access point, which lets you connect to a wireless network. It still retains a 4 port full duplex 10/100 switch, or a gigabit wired ethernet, depending on the model and allows you to share a high speed connection on both your wired and wireless networks.

But the biggest feature of all is the Linkysis Easylink Advisor. Code named LELA, this advanced software now bundled with these routers watches over your network. Check out a sample after the jump Read the rest of this entry »

Just when we thought, that Sony Ericsson wasn’t capable of building a mega phone, beyond the P1i or the Walkman series, they’ve just unveiled the XPERIA X1. We’ve been doing a lot of digging info on this phone to get a bigger picture of the XPERIA X1 and what it’s capable of.

Let us take you through a tour and share its dazzles and features. The first thing you’d notice of the X1 is its 3 inch wide screen format touch screen at a resolution of 65K. The next big thing you’d notice is the arc sliding QWERTY keyboard that slides out horizontally. So far the keypad looks like a charm to use. But that’s not all. Keep reading to get a closer look and the specifications of the loaded X1 after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

I never saw this coming from Nokia, but they’ve done it and called it the N82 (not officially announced). It looks like a serious rival for Sony Ericsson’s K850i. Even though Sony’s always known to add more features than Nokia , the N82 seems to be loaded with a little more than what the K850i offers. We aren’t sure of the final list of features, but here’s the rumor list according to those at engadget. The N82, will supposedly feature a quad band GSM, HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, FM tuner, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm audio jack,a 2.4 inch QVGA display with auto rotating like in the iPhone, microSD expansion and of course a 5 megapixel camera, with Carl Zeiss lens and xenon flash.

Update: Here’s the final specs on the N82 which is now officially released…. Read the rest of this entry »

Wireless is the word these days. Eventually everything around us will be wireless and hopefully even power too! Won’t that be cool. The home theatre system has always been at the center of our entertainment system and we’d like to show off by calling friends home and blasting that system to make them feel they’re part of the movie. But the ugly part of an home theatre system is the wires that come along with it. Unless you conceal them or cleverly hide them, it’s gonna look like one of those server rooms. Currently there are systems with wireless rear speakers and even the front speakers have gone wireless. But here’s a system that’s completely wireless and I mean both audio and video… Read the rest of this entry »
