Apple's iPhone is now the best selling mobile phone in the United States, according to recent analysis by research firm NPD Group. To take the top spot in the third quarter of this year, the iPhone had to beat out the Motorola RAZR, a phone that's been on the market since 2004. The Motorola RAZR is a thin flip feature phone, and it was actually debuted at an asking price of $600. In the ensuing years, however, it's entered the mainstream with a variety of price drops, colors, versions and plans.

Motorola Motozine ZN5 Hands On Review - MobileBurn
Posted by admin in : Tech Reviews , add a comment
MobileBurn does a hands on review of the Motorola Motozine ZN5 and writes, "The thing that most impressed us, though, were the very large prints that Motorola had on hand. We took a very close look at the 16" x 20" photos and found that the image quality coming out of the ZN5's camera is really top notch. Some over sharpening was evident when viewing the prints, but there was little to no chromatic distortion or purple fringing in high contrast scenes or else anything unpleasant. The ZN5 appears to be a "real" camera, plain and simple. True it lacks a zoom, but this is a camera that can produce keepers when it comes to snapshots."

Motorola Motozine ZN5 Review - ComputerWorld
Posted by admin in : Tech Reviews , add a comment ComputerWorld reviews the Motorola Motozine ZN5 and writes, "As a camera, I loved the ZN5. I liked the mechanics of it: sliding down the cover to expose both the lens and built-in flash, watching the camera functions come on while deactivating the phone capabilities (something Motorola likes to call ModeShift Technology). Turning the phone on its side moves the dedicated shutter button into position at the top right. The switch that controls the volume in handset mode can then be used for the digital zoom, which, although it displays with poor resolution in the phone's window, actually offered excellent results."

New Social Net Gives Young Vets a Place to Congregate
Posted by admin in : Tech Reviews , add a comment
Veterans of past wars have long found companionship over beer and conversation at their local veterans hall. But many of those who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan seek that companionship elsewhere -- online. Hoping to tap into that virtual community, a public service campaign starting Tuesday, Veterans Day, encourages Iraq and Afghanistan veterans to log onto a new social networking site called "CommunityofVeterans.org." The site was developed by the nonprofit organizations Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and the Ad Council.
Phoenix Mars Lander Presumed Dead
Posted by admin in : Tech Reviews , add a comment
NASA on Monday declared an end to the Phoenix mission, some five months after the spacecraft became the first to land in Mars' arctic plains and taste water on another planet. Mission engineers have not heard from the Phoenix lander in over a week. It fell silent shortly after a raging dust storm blocked sunlight from reaching its solar panels. Although ground controllers will direct two satellites orbiting Mars to listen for Phoenix for several more weeks, the chances that it will respond are slim.

Your Very Own Lightsaber - No Jedi Training Required

Just like anyone else who saw the original "Star Wars" when it was released back in the late '70s, I've always wanted to enter the galactic fray and emerge triumphant in a lightsaber duel, to cross swords with a Dark Side opponent and hear the vwhoom-vwhoom as my saber slices through the air and sparks fly. It's a fantasy that I expected would remain unfulfilled -- until, that is, LucasArts decided to develop and release a game that focuses solely on lightsaber battles and uses the Nintendo Wii's unique motion sensor controllers to facilitate play.
