ASUS debuted a completely new range of all-in-one Desktops, Tablets, and hybrid tablet-laptops at their press event held in New York City today, all optimized for use with the forthcoming Microsoft Windows 8 operating system. One of the most innovative (and unique) offerings on display included the breathtaking Taichi convertible laptop. This new, groundbreaking product features a dual-display system, with a touch-screen display both on the front and the back of the laptop lid. It turns the argument of whether to take a laptop or a tablet with you on its head, affording you the ability to transform it from one to the other by simply closing a lid (no twisting or turning involved.) The Taichi machine was clearly the star of the show, and as you can see from the slideshow, it grabbed the lion's share of interest from all the event attendees. Taken together, the new products all featured Asus' signature attention to design details and demonstrated their usual strength in engineering prowess, and will surely appeal to consumers and business users alike shopping for new Windows 8-based systems.

M83 Concert in NYC at the Hammerstein Ballroom & Fan Party for the Samsung Galaxy S III - October 3, 2012
My new favorite phone: the Samsung Galaxy S III ("the Next Big Thing") !!! And yes, it deserves all three exclamation marks for it's speed, roomy screen size, and rich roster of features. The Galaxy S III has garnered accolades from consumers and the press alike, and from my first-hand experience with this flagship model so far, they are all very well justified. The tight integration with Google's web offerings are a plus, such as Google+, Google Voice, Chrome, and the PIP capability for watching a video while performing a second task, such as composing an email, is quite remarkable. The camera module is a highly capable 8 Megapixel shooter, and much like older Samsung phones I've owned before, such as the Ultra series from years back, it does not disappoint in the image quality department, with well saturated but accurate color rendition, 1080P video recording, and a host of scene and picture modes for the photo enthusiast. A compelling mix of unique and useful features wrapped up in a paradoxically svelte design all add up to a winning combination in my book.

Acer Aspire 722 Unboxing
I purchased this very nifty netbook/notebook hybrid last weekend - the Acer Aspire 722. The AMD C-50 dual core processor, 11.6" display, 320GB hard drive, HDMI output, 64-bit Windows 7 Premium and handy bantam-weight size, for under $250 plus taxes (not factoring in a promotional discount) makes it an incredible value. After cleaning out some of the preloaded software, this little guy really flies, and handles video playback onto an external TV with aplomb. A great buy, and loving it so far. :)

Nokia E7 Size Comparison
Here is a photo lineup of the Nokia E7 as compared to the Nokia E71, X6, and 5230 Nuron. As you can see, the screen size is relatively quite large (4 inches) and noticeably more usable when browsing or texting from an arms-length away.
