Out of all the products we reviewed in 2011 some of my favorite were Solid State Drives.  So many companies have pushed the envelope when it comes to transfer speeds we were very impressed with almost all of the solid state drives we reviewed in 2011.  There were a few drives that really stood out to us and that is what you will find on this list.  Keep in mind that this list is comprised of drives that we have reviewed only.  Read on to see what our favorite solid state drives of 2011 were!

OCZ RevoDrive 3 (Review)
OCZ’s RevoDrive has been a very unique and interesting product since we saw the first version of it back in 2010.  What OCZ has done with the RevoDrive is take solid state drive transfer speeds to the next level by eliminating the SATA bottleneck and using a PCI-E interface.  Not only have they done that they have basically placed 2 solid state drives on the card and have them running in a RAID configuration for the best speeds possible.  So what type of speeds are we talking about?  In our testing we scored a read speed of 996MB/s and a write speed of 903MB/s in ATTO Disk Benchmark!  Almost to the 1GB/s mark!  OCZ does have a RevoDrive 3 X2 that has 4 drives on one card and that drive does break the 1GB/s mark, but we did not have the chance to review it.  If you are looking for one of the fastest solid state drives available the RevoDrive X3 from OCZ is it!

Kingston HyperX Solid State Drive (Review)
Kingston is mainly known for Memory and their first jump into the solid state drive market with the SSDNow Series of drives did not make that much noise at all.  We all know the HyperX line of products as being Kingston’s high-end products so it was about time we got a HyperX solid state drive.  The first thing that I said when I saw the drive was, “Damn that is a sexy drive!”, it is really is why its brushed aluminum finish and blue accents.  But besides just looking great it does perform good as well.  In our testing we scored a read speed of 559MB/s and write speed 525MB/s in ATTO Disk Benchmark.  With these speeds it is the fastest 2.5-inch SATA 6GB/s drive we tested this year!  Kingston sent us the upgrade kit which comes with a desktop mounting bracket, external USB enclosure, Acronis migration software, blue SATA 6GB/s SATA cable and a pretty nice screwdriver.  This is everything you will need if you are upgrading from a normal SATA drive.  Also surprisingly enough the upgrade kit and and standalone drive are the same price!

Corsair Force Series GT Solid State Drive (Review)
You know only a few years ago Corsair was only really known for memory and now look they have products in many different categories, but not only that their products are in the top of many of those categories.  For example the Corsair Graphite Series 600T case made it into our Best Cases of 2011 list!  It is really great that Corsair is taking the time to produce quality products.  We’ve seen so many companies try and branch out and they make sub-par products or just release OEM products under their own name.  The Force Series GT is Corsair’s fastest SATA 6GB/s drive.  In our testing we scored a read speed of 557MB/s read and 513MB/s write in ATTO Disk Benchmark.  Besides just the fast speeds the drive is a very attractive red color.  The Force GT is also one of the most affordable drives out there, the 120GB version goes for $199 online, whereas other 120GB drives are around $230-$250.

So that is our list of our favorite solid state drives from 2011.  Do you think another drive deserves to be on this list? Let us know in the comments!

November 20, 2011Belkin LiveAction Camera accessories and App for the iPhone and iPod touch

Belkin-LiveAction-Camera
Belkin has announced its new LiveAction Camera accessories for iPhone and iPod touch devices. They include the LiveAction Camera Grip and LiveAction Camera Remote, new tools that make it easier to snap photos and record video. Using the LiveAction App, you can then share your digital images directly on Facebook or email by following the intuitive on-screen interface. The app also allows you to capture still photos and record video simultaneously. In fact, Belkin says that the LiveAction App, available for free at the Apple App Store, can be used alone as the primary camera app for the iPhone and iPod touch, in case you don't want to spend money on the gear.

 

details from Belkin:

LiveAction Camera Grip (F8Z888) – $49.99

LiveAction-Camera-GripWith a contoured, soft-touch design and external shutter button, the LiveAction Camera Grip transforms an iPhone or iPod touch into a traditional digital camera, allowing the user to take pictures quickly, easily, and comfortably. The Camera Grip attaches to the charge connector of the device and fits easily over most cases. The integrated tripod mount attaches to any standard tripod for more stabilized control. Separate buttons for photo and video allow the photographer to quickly switch from taking stills to recording live action. The LiveAction Grip requires the use of the LiveAction App. Attaching the Camera Grip immediately activates the app, making it seamless and easy to use on the go.

- Fast-fire shutter button  

- Two modes for photo and video  

- 30-pin connector

- Case-compatible

- Works with the free LiveAction App

- Compatible with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPod touch

LiveAction Camera Remote (F8Z896) – $49.99

Nothing shows off a good time like a group photo, but with most camera phones someone must be left out to take the photo. Eliminate that problem with the LiveAction Camera Remote. The intuitive remote wirelessly activates an iPhone or iPod touch camera shutter from up to 30 feet away. Two button controls can instantly switch between photo and video functions. The detachable camera stand props up the device and then slides back onto the remote to create the ultimate pocket-sized camera kit. The Camera Remote requires the use of the LiveAction App.

- Remote shutter control enabled with Bluetooth® wireless technology

- Two distinct buttons for photo and video

- Detachable camera stand

- Operational up to 30 ft.

- Case-compatible

- Works with the free LiveAction App

- Compatible with iPhone 4 and iPod touch

Callaway Golf Announces Global Launch of RAZR Fit

By sophiesummers on 3:28 PM

Click to view news release full screen

CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced the February 17th worldwide availability of its much-anticipated RAZR Fit™ Driver and RAZR Fit™ Fairway Woods. Building on 29 years of clubmaking excellence, Callaway's much-anticipated RAZR Fit line of woods represents the Company's most advanced products to date. By combining the performance benefits gained from several proprietary technologies with an easy-to-understand, adjustable hosel—plus moveable weights to promote draw or neutral ball flight—Callaway is empowering players around the world to dial in their game with RAZR Fit. Marking a new standard in performance customization, RAZR Fit's straightforward adjustability delivers optimum performance and real results for every golf swing.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please visit: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/callawaygolf/46341/  

"We are particularly proud of the RAZR Fit products because of the performance gains we have achieved for golfers while adding the benefits of adjustability," said Dr. Alan Hocknell, Sr. Vice President of Research & Development, Callaway Golf.  "Callaway is not just entering the adjustability race with the introduction of RAZR Fit, we are taking the pole position.  The adjustable features and other proprietary technologies allow golfers to play a more meaningful role than ever before in their journey to optimized performance."

The RAZR Fit Driver and RAZR Fit Fairway Woods both feature Callaway's renowned OptiFit® adjustability system—designed for easy use and noticeable changes in trajectory for each of the settings.  The system allows golfers to adjust the club's face angle to three address positions: Open, Square and Closed. This adjustment is controlled within the "cog," a rotatable element of the hosel that changes the angle of the shaft axis relative to the head. Rotating the cog enables golfers to choose a preferred look at address while also minimizing a slice or hook generated by the club's delivery to the ball. Because the shaft does not rotate with the cog, shaft graphics and grip reminders remain consistent to the player's eye when they adjust the face angle. In the driverhead, OptiFit weights (12 grams and 2 grams) are included in the clubhead's sole and are also adjustable, allowing golfers to shift the center of gravity to promote a perceivable draw or neutral ball flight.

Since 2004, Callaway has led the industry in multi-material clubhead construction, advancing club design in capacities such as mass property optimization and aerodynamic shaping. Now, with the introduction of RAZR Fit, the Company furthers its heritage in innovation by uniting multi-material design with the fundamental benefits of adjustability for every golfer's swing.

Specifically, the crown of the RAZR Fit Driver is comprised of Forged Composite™, an advanced carbon composite material that Callaway developed over several years in partnership with Automobili Lamborghini. Lighter, stronger, more precise than titanium (the material used in more than 90% of the current drivers in the market), Forged Composite allows Callaway engineers to save crucial weight and precisely control the thickness of the crown. These benefits give the RAZR Fit Driver a lower center of gravity, making it more forgiving on off-center hits.

Callaway's RAZR Fit Driver also incorporates a proprietary innovation in aerodynamic shaping called Streamlined Surface Technology, which addresses the complex variations in aerodynamic flow during a driver's entire downswing—from transition through impact. More than four years in the making, Streamlined Surface Technology has reduced RAZR Fit's energy loss due to drag by 14% (relative to its predecessor, the RAZR Hawk™ Driver), despite the addition of an adjustable hosel. This contributes to increased ball speed at impact, a critical element of driving distance. This aerodynamics technology is accompanied by the debut of the Company's new Speed Frame™ Face Technology, which combines hyperbolic shaping of the clubface with precision thickness control to offer a larger sweet spot. This new technology optimizes stress distribution and increases ball speeds across the face. Callaway engineers were also able to save weight by implementing this new face technology.

The RAZR Fit Driver comes standard with a 45.5" Aldila® RIP'd™ NV shaft and a premium Golf Pride® New Decade Multi Compound grip. Already in the bags of Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Alvaro Quiros and other tour professionals around the world, the RAZR Fit Driver will be available for all golfers for the new product introduction price of $399 (U.S.).

RAZR Fit Fairway Woods

Like the RAZR Fit Driver, the RAZR Fit Fairway Woods feature three address positions—Open, Square and Closed. They will be available in a 3-Wood (15°) and a 5-Wood (18°), and allow players to adjust based on their preferred look at address and to minimize tendencies to hook or slice the ball. Callaway's staff of Tour players helped inspire the club design, which features a traditional shape in a compact head size, as well as a shallow face with a low leading edge.

The Company's engineers have also applied aggressive Variable Face™ Thickness Technology® to precisely shape the face thickness in each fairway wood, increasing the sweet spot to promote consistent trajectories and hotter ball speeds. RAZR Fit Fairway Woods will be available at the new product introduction price of $249 (U.S.).

"The RAZR Fit Fairway Wood was designed for players seeking the ultimate in performance and optimization," said Hocknell. "Whether a golfer is advancing the ball in a fairway or getting out of trouble, RAZR Fit Fairway Woods will inspire the confidence to hit great shots."

TradeDoubler, the leading pan-European digital commerce company, has seen a strong start to Christmas trading, with seasonal sales over the first 10 days of December up 26 per cent year on year. Despite the backdrop of the Eurozone crisis and threat of global economic recession, it seems that consumers across Europe are still preparing for a merry Christmas.

Computers and electronics is one of the key sectors ahead of Christmas, and so far, sales in December are up 23 per cent on last year.  

"Demand for smart phones and tablets across our European network is very strong and one of the main drivers boosting sales in this sector," said Urban Gillström, CEO of TradeDoubler. "Indications are that tablets are currently outselling smartphones with over 40,000 sold during Christmas trading so far - an eight fold increase on this time last year."

'Mega Monday' (5 December) saw online sales in the shopping and retail category increase by 33 per cent on last year, while health and beauty purchases leaped by over 200 per cent across the TradeDoubler network.  

"We reach around 70% of the online population in Europe, which gives us good insight into changing consumer behaviour patterns and a unique understanding of what people are buying," Gillström added.

With the busiest trading week of the year currently underway,TradeDoubleris already seeing that,in addition to big ticket items, some of the most popular sellers arenativity angel and shepherd costumes; the complete box set of Harry Potter films and the posthumous Amy Winehouse album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures.

Low correlation with TradeDoubler's revenue

Sales in TradeDoubler’s European network refers to sales in the key Christmas trading categories mentioned above.  It is important to note that it is only possible to draw very limited conclusions about TradeDoubler's revenue from these figures since the group only receives revenue from part of these sales and also to varying degrees. Nor do the figures include all sales on which TradeDoubler receives revenue. Furthermore, the Group also has other important sources of revenue than those directly related to e-commerce.  The period measured is 1-10 December 2011.

Handelabra Studio Officially Releases Uncle Slam

CLEVELAND, Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Handelabra Studio, a Cleveland-based mobile software company, is launching its long awaited game, Uncle Slam on Friday, Dec. 16, on the App Store. Available for $4.99, Uncle Slam himself is pitting president against president in gentleman's boxing. His quest begins to find the leader of all leaders who is worthy to take up the mantle of "Uncle Slam."

Ding, Ding, Ding... Round 1

The idea for Uncle Slam was originally conceived by Handelabra's development lead, John Arnold, during Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference. The not-so-famous quote from a conference speaker that led to the Uncle Slam concept was, "You need your art style to be consistent. You can't have Abraham Lincoln sporting a pink Mohawk." Challenge accepted.

Round 2

From there, the concept became a boxing-style game that puts a fun spin on United States history. Players choose from nine presidents with interesting facts about each one, such as William Howard Taft being the largest man ever to be president. This comes in handy when selecting which president to use in battle. Through the coming months, Handelabra plans to add every president to the roster via In App Purchase.

Round 3

Handelabra first showed off a prototype of Uncle Slam to gamers at PAX East in March 2011. Because of the positive feedback from players, the Handelabra team decided to fully develop the game. Each character has a distinctive fighting style based on their physical prowess. They also have a unique "Presidential Power" designed to reflect something significant from their presidency or folklore. For example, George Washington will use a cherry tree to damage an opponent.

Knockout Punch

Uncle Slam offers both a great, local multi-player mode as well as single-player campaigns for each president to complete on their way to ultimate victory.

"We wanted to create a fun game that's easy to pick up and play, but also offers depth to keep you playing," said Jeremy Handel, owner of Handelabra Studio. "Using physics-based gameplay, Uncle Slam enables a dynamic boxing experience that responds directly to the touch-based controls. We think this offers a more fun experience than the typical 'virtual buttons' that are used by many iOS fighting games on the market."

Compatible with iPads 1 and 2 using iOS 5, the game launches with nine presidents initially and more will be available for $.99 each or discounted in packs of five. Complete all single-player campaigns to fight as Uncle Slam himself.

Handelabra is also launching its new Couplett photo app on Friday, Dec. 16. The app, available on the App Store, is easy to use and takes a front-facing and rear-facing photo at the same time to create a fun composition.

Handelabra Studio is a mobile software company centered in Cleveland, Ohio, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, with satellites in Utah, Texas and Massachusetts. The company currently has seven products available for download on the App Store. To learn more about Handelabra Studio and its products, visit http://handelabra.com.
