Apart from the changes in design and size, the new Amazon Kindle also has Wi-Fi and 3G thrown in. This model comes with a couple of flavors. One has both Wi-Fi and 3G, where as the other one just has Wi-Fi. The latter version is cheaper by $50. There are two color options for this model – graphite and white. I got the graphite version in my labs for testing and it looked quite attractive. I won’t recommend the white model to hygiene freaks since white gadgets are known to accumulate dust quite easily and hence looks dirty after some time. The new Amazon Kindle also has a more memory. You have four GB of internal memory to store the e-books and other files. The predecessor had 2 GB of internal memory and now you its gets even more spacious. The battery life is doubled from two weeks to four weeks with the wireless turned off. So you can stay away from the power plug for a longer time. There is more to Amazon Kindle than just reading e-books  [...]

It looks like an iPhone on steroids; the specs are pretty close to a Netbook and there is some extra eye candy put in for the apps. When you have such a great computer that can be easily carried in your cargo pocket, you’d want to get most out of it when you are outdoors.

For switching it off, go to Settings and from there click on Wi-Fi option. By default, the Wi-Fi is switched on, on your iPad.

Headphone belong to that category of peripherals that both at dirt cheap and sky high prices. Klipsch Image S4 is a cheap set of headphones which comes at an $80 price tag and still perform like those headphones which cost more than $100. They have noise cancellation feature which make sure outside noise stays out.

The oval ear tips on the headphones feel really comfortable and soft on the ears. Klipsch gives you three ear tips, one of them is for really large ears. But even these three sizes may not fit every ear. We were lucky because the tips sat comfortably in our ears and didn’t come out easily. Other accessories with the Klipsch Image S4 include an tool to clean ear wax and a metallic box to keep the ear buds. We think that the box was given to protect the delicate cables. The box looks a bit old fashioned, though. Klipsch  [...]

Lady Gaga perhaps made sure that this pair of headphones really looks good before she gave permission for her name to be used on the set. Some might feel that the manufacturers have tried to be too fashionable but looking at Lady Gaga’s lifestyle, we completely understand. The price of these super sexy headphones is $120 but you can get it around for $100 if purchased online. The stylish headphones are made for women and we doubt if men would buy it even if it didn’t have the name of the pop star on the set. The build of the headphone is too feminine for men, especially with the attached triangular earpieces. While the triangular blocks on the headphones look good they are not ergonomically comfortable in the ear because the edges of the triangle blocks press against the skin of the ear and hence cause discomfort. It also makes the buds come out of the ear occasionally. The manufacturer bundles three sizes of the silicone made ear tips  [...]

Skullcandy is not a new name in the head phone market they have been around for a while and are making good sets of earphones. The head phones as mentioned earlier come in variety of colors and there are indeed lots of colors to choose from. The cables are covered with cloth so you don’t need to fear that they will suffer from wear and tear as times passes by. We are used to using headphones which have plastic exteriors and we have suffered a lot using them. Headphones of products such as iPod touch wound around the device when they are not in use. This reduces the life of the wire and there have been complaints that the wire tears on the end of the plug which goes into the iPod. Not only this, when the wire is wound around the iPod touch, the wire gets stretched and hence sometimes one ear piece stops functioning or the sound quality of the head phone drops. You won’t face any problems with these sets though as they are cloth covered and give you no problems when you stretch  [...]

For hard core audiophiles, wireless headsets are a strict no-no. They are willing to sacrifice wireless and go for wired headset. They say that wireless devices cannot deliver like wired ones. But this one may change their opinion. Nokia BH-905 is equipped with noise cancellation feature that keeps out most of the noise away when you are listening to music. Noise cancellation feature can be used in crowded streets or buses or even at home when people around are talking and you want to shut them off. The headset is capable of noise cancellation but doesn’t completely isolate you from the outside noise, but manages to keep most of it away from you so that nothing can come between you and your music. The cups of the ears also completely surround your ears and the feel of the cushions on the ears is quite good. Another important fact that is worth mentioning is the size of the headset. Would you carry this headset when you are going out? This is huge headset, if you are wearing  [...]
