As the video titles say; its sh*t white people say to Africans. This is simple a comedy and  not meant to offend anyone, including me.

The Siberia v2 Frost Blue Headset. The super-bright, blue LED lights glow through the outer mesh grill on each earcup, the Siberia v2 Frost Blue’s lights and soundscape can be customized through SteelSeries Engine software. It has an incredibly lightweight, over-the-head suspension design with an active noise-cancelling microphone and circumaural earcups that feature 50mm driver units, covered by grey leather cushions for a noise-dampening sound.

I could not have received my Black Powerbag Deluxe at a more opportune time.  It was the start of kickoff for CES, and things were closing up for the night when I received this wonderful gift.  Having just gotten off a long flight, being jetlagged from a long trip west I broke off from the group to call it a night early and rest up for what was assured to be a busy week – and in the mean time, get my Powerbag set up for the following day – which ended up being a much needed Powerbag. The first thing I noticed was the ease of the power chord.  From its small tuck away beside the battery, it is easily confined, and hidden from view when not in use, and when needed, is as accessible as one might hope – a person can get it plugged in and charging in about 15 seconds.  I then started to pack the bag – and Panic set it.  How would it all fit?  A laptop, 3 cameras, pencils, pens, monopod… it seemed too daunting a task to possibly work.  However, within 10 Min I had everything packed away with room to spare – the notebooks, pens and a few business cards fit easily up in the space above the battery/charger; all cameras, monopod, a large box of cards, and all associated cables, chargers and such fit into the largest opening of the bag with room to spare.

The most valuable parts were the small pockets we used on the sides to charge our iPods, phones, WIFI port, and Camera.   Never throughout the time we had the bag with us did we suffer through a dead camera or Cell, and with them being in the small side pockets, they were of quick access to us; with the need to film and catch pictures of video at a moments notice,  this was of extreme value.  The pockets that do not have power (the side pocket on its own, and the small front pocket) were perfect for holding small items that we might need frequently, like a tin of mints, aspirin, and 5 hour energy drinks. With 3 of our group of 5 utilizing FUL bags of one type or another, it was of a need to have the backpack for 3 of us to share; at one point or another throughout the week each and every one of us used this bag to keep our electronic equipment alive while away from our rooms for long periods.  The spaciousness and padded back gave me comfort even while carrying heavy amounts, and the long last battery offered us quick charges for our small sized electronic devices.  Plus, with a price point around $170, it is in line with some of the top bags around.

The Monster Miles Davis Trumpet in-ear Headphones are a true work of art, crafted in a manner that imitates the style and essence of the great Jazz musician Miles Davis himself. From the light blue tangle free cord to the trumpet key styling of the headphone remote control.  Show the level of design Monster put into the headphones.  Monster’s exclusive technology places the driver directly in your eartip, with the earbuds resemble trumpet mouthpieces. The Miles Davis trumpets are design to be elegant and effective. So how good do the sound?

This is where it truly shines, monster has crafted a little piece of music in these headphone, the sound quality is pristine and clear. It really feel like a soulful melody is played within your ear lobes. You can hear each instrument and I found myself hear different tones and sounds I had never heard before. also lyric and  vocals coming in very clear and acoustically feel like you are getting a live performances. On thing to note is that the Trumpet is not a bass heavy  headphone, which is good. It allows for the instrument to pop and music sound like you are in a live Jazz festival jamming away. The Next question; is it worth $300?

Yes, if you love music, and you want to listen to the pure sound of a musician in his craft, then yes. These headphones are  not crafted to give you super bass. But instead where designed to give you pure sound, and it does that well in everyway. I am truly impressed by what Monster has created here with the Miles Davis Trumpet Headphones

The Droid Razr Maxx is the latest extension in the Droid Razr family by Motorola, what makes the Droid Razr Maxx different is the addition of a 3330mAh battery that only bumps the thickness of the device to 8.99mm. Which is truly astounding feat. Spec wise the Droid Razr Maxx is similar to is older brother the Droid Razr sport a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED qHD display that is coated with Gorilla glass. Powered by a dual-core processor and running Android 2.3.5 with 1GB of ram for some smooth operations all running by Android™ 2.3.5, Gingerbread

So we know the Droid Razr Maxx is pretty much a Droid Razr with a beefier battery. At 3330mAh Motorola Has stuffed an extended battery into a slim profile. So to see if the companies claims of 21hr talk time and 8 hrs of movie viewing was correct, we decided to carry out our own test.First we did a movie viewing test to see how long the battery will last with on a single charge watching 3 movies. Then we did a call time test. Actually we did two test, First was a call test with the LCD on and second was a Call test with the LCD off and here are the result.

Watching 3 Movies on the Droid Razr Maxx
Motorola Claim- 8 hrs
Actual-                    6hrs 7mins

Call time test
Motorola claim-            21hrs
Actual with LCD off-      22hrs 10mins
Actual with LCD on-     9hrs 16mins

Conclusion

Motorola Set the bar pretty high with the original Droid Razr released last year with its ultra thin profile and sleekness, it also feature some innovative software additives like Motoro cast which allows you to stream content back and fort to your home server or PC from anywhere in the world via Verizon’ Wireless 4G LTE. The Droid Razr Maxx has all these and a little extra with its 3330mAh battery, which lives up to Motorola’s Battery claims; with 22hrs of talk time in our test and 6hrs of video watching. The Droid Razr maxx can be deemed the best and most reliable Android smartphone dare I say Smartphone on the market.

The Motorola Droid XYBOARD 8.2 is the sequel to the ill launched Motorola Xoom, and the first Motorola Tablet to take the Droid name. This tablet packs the regular features you will find in an standard Android 3.2 tablet. it sports a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, a 5 megapixel rear camera with LED flash 7 a mini HDMI-out. It also sports a high definition IPS display. the XYBAORD 8.2 is a 4G LTE device and is capable of creating a hot sport for up to 8 devices.

The Droid XYBOARD is a very slim device, taking design cues from the Droid Razr, it is sleek and slim, with corner edges matching the Razr . there are no buttons on the front of the device, with the the power and Vol. toggle are at the back of the XYBOARD 8.2. The XYBOARD  8.2 is splash resistant, to protect from water damage, its has also got a soft rubberized coating around the edge of the device.

The Droid XYBOARD 8.2 is a better refresh from the Motorola Xoom, design wise the 8.2-inch Android tablet feels more comfortable and easier to handle; that being said the Droid XYBOARD 8.2 does experience some slow downs, and though 4G LTE was great on the device, using it as a hopspot  present some issues with lost data connections. The Droid XYBOARD is a a reliable tablet and does a decent number on battery life at about 8hrs. Still there is a lot more Motorola could have done with this tablet to make it more than adequate

CyberLink at CES 2012 introduced the latest version of their pouplar media player PowerDVD 12. We got a first time look at the software and we can tell you Cyberlink has gone into tremendous lengthens in making  this a worth while purchase. Some of the cool and new features you will see in our video walkthrough is the very impressive DLNA feature set, that allows you to not only share content from PC to tablet or phone with the Power DVD app. But all the ability to share content from all you device be it Android, iPhone, iPad and more via the app as well as PC. So you can load content from you iPad and Play on a Xoom tablet or PC and vice versa.

Also the up scale feature from 2D to 3D is solid and gives you full control to maximize the degree and depth of 3D content. This applies to Blu-ray movies as well as, photos and content recorded on your own camera. Also a good amount of social integration that allows you to easily download photos from Facebook in batch format and access YouTube content directly from the play.
CyberLink has successfully added a host of features that makes PowerDVD 12 look like a very inviting offering. Till we get time to fully review it  in the coming weeks. Please enjoy our walkthrough video.

As is typical with Lelo, the Nea was very elegantly boxed, with a small plastic covering over the Nea to keep it in place. The very first thing I noticed was the purple flower print that starts on the very tip; when I flipped is, I found a larger, adorable purple flower that is very cute stretching across three quarters of the Nea – It is really cute and compact. I turned it over to find more patterns on the back, which makes it feel a little bit more personalized. Similar to a computer-mouse, the curved shape of the massager has a built-in rechargeable battery that is not only functional, but convenient, as you don’t have to keep on buying batteries for it.

Although I find that it is somewhat hard – as it is not cloaked with silicone like the Lyla – it packs an exceptional pulse with multiple settings in a petite, discreet package. Nea also has a feature that allows it to be lockable; therefore, you can travel with it without fear of it accidently activating, or lock it on a particular setting without worrying about hitting a button. With it being so small and made out of molded plastic, It is extremely easy to clean – but be careful, as it is not waterproof due to the recharge socket, and moisture can seep in if you do not take care.

As I said, it is a very compact and discreet personal massager, but with it being so small, the small buttons and settings do need some getting used to. Nea is known for its long battery life – up to 7 hours – which makes it exceptional for personal use or use with your partner. It has 5 different vibration settings, and with several different strengths of vibrations to choose from, you can find multiple settings that work best for you, or your significant other.

With all this being said, the Nea personal massager is absolutely outstanding for its compact size; its very powerful and you don’t even need to buy batteries for it. It not only look cute and pretty; it also delivers results from an adorable little package.

The Asus Transformer Prime is the Latest Android tablet and we were blessed with an Android 4.0 update during the Unboxing. The Transformer Prime is a 8.3mm thick table and weighs only 566g that house the Tegra 3 ka-el chip, a Quad-core processor, great for gaming on the go and will provide smooth operations to the system. It uses a Super IPS display with a 178 degree viewing angle with Gorilla glass .

An 8 Megapixel camera in the rear and a 1.2 megapixel camera in the front  for video chat. 1080p recording with the rear camera and a back illuminated CMOS sensor for taking photos in low light and better video recording. 32/64GB of inbuilt storage plus cloud storage in from Asus.

The Hardware of the Asus transformer primes is sleek, polish and well refined. The power button is located at the top of the device, with the volume toggles on the left of the device, the 10-inch Asus Transformer prime has a thick bezel and is very finger print happy. There is also a microSD slot, giving you the ability to expand your storage options beyond the capacity listed for the device.  overall I think the hardware is solid, its light  and easy to use, though it has a thick bezel and is not finger print friendly. It is still a well crafted device

Prime Camera Test

The Asus Transformer Primes has an 8 megapixel camera with an LED flash,  making it the highest megapixel camera found on a tablet to date. So we give the camera a test run to see how will it functions, In taking video and stills. It should be noted the camera has the ability to record in time-lapse as it is standard on all Android 4.0 devices, as we saw on the Galaxy Nexus . Enjoy this  1080p camera test.

Conclusion

The Asus Transformer Prime is a power machine, the fact Asus was able to cram in the Tegra 3(Kal-el) chip  into such a thin profile and form factor is something to take note, the device runs like a dream, of course during our review we were running Android 4.0 on the tablet.  Operations were smooth and efficient, the device is built for mobile gaming handling different games with ease. Battery life is impeccable, considering you have a quad-core processor in the Asus Transformer prime, I still got up to 1hrs of battery life. It also helps that the Asus UI overlay on Android 4.0 gives you options to toggle your CPU usage, as well as the brightness on the Super IPS display. Which might I add is fantastic outdoors.  Overall the Asus Transformer Prime has set the Gold standard in 2012 for android based tablets, with power, efficiency and overall design. Lets see how the competition responds

The Samsung Galaxy will be hitting AT&T network on Feb 19th @ $299.99. Much higher than I expected, for this 4G LTE device The Galaxy Note is designed with a 5.3” display with HD Super AMOLED™ technology, a high-resolution screen that provides a bright, rich, colorful viewing experience. The Note includes a creative tool called the S Pen™, which delivers fast, responsive and precise control to create fine lines and detail on the device display, much like an ink pen and pad of paper.

From the first moment I opened the box, I didn’t expect what I found inside. Within an elegant black box, just like I was receiving high-end jewelry, there was my new Lyla; it was extremely well laid out with the grace and elegance that you rarely find in a personal massager. I found two items before me; a round diskette controller and an oval shaped wireless massager with a removable silver tip for charging.

Upon picking them up, they were light and smooth to hold; the soft silicone-like material that covers the massagers are extremely soft. I charged the oval massager and put two AAA batteries (included) into the controller. While waiting, I began to read the manual to familiarize myself with my new Lyla. Once charged, `I began to experiment with Lyla; syncing can be tricky, but once you get the hang of it, its not too bad and can be activated with relative ease.

The sense motion on Lyla allows the one holding the controller to understand what the other party is feeling and experiencing. Furthermore, the one in charge of the controller can control the strength of the vibrations by tilting the disc; they can also shake it for intense pulse. The range of the Lyla is fantastic; enough for you to be in the opposite side of the room, yet still share the experience. Although it can be slightly loud at times (especially with the disc), the vibrations on it are magnificent, both in strength and intensity. There are multiple settings you can experiment with to find your preference. The toy is also a heaven to clean, due to its smooth surface. Overall, our experience was absolutely marvelous and every time I use it I find something else new about it.

This is the perfect gift for your partner for every occasion and situation, especially with Valentines Day quickly approaching. Although it does not sparkle like jewelry, but just as stylish and elegant, it certainly brings its own sense of grace and personality; unlike jewelry, it is something both you and your partner can enjoy everyday.
