N810 coverage, we've got a hands-on of Nokia's new device. Anyone following Nokia's internet tablet devices knows that we've been asking for a QWERTY keyboard on the thing since day one -- it's just too bad the N810 keyboard disappoints us so. Sure, the keys are large, backlit, and far more tactile than on the E90, but the top row is jammed right up against the bottom of the screen, making typing really difficult without keeping your thumbs totally perpendicular to the keyboard. The N810 could really benefit from the room of a few millimeters more slide if you ask us, but everything else was pure N-series tablet, and N800 (and possibly N700) owners can expect to get all the same software updates when the N810 launches. Check out the pictures, including some size comparisons to the iPhone.

BlackBerry 7100i - Sprint Manual Guide
BlackBerry pie with the addition of RIM's BlackBerry 7100i. The first of the 7100 series to make its debut on Nextel's iDEN network, the 7100i's design and feature set is similar to that of its siblings; it has a slim form factor, a great display, and a quasi-QWERTY keyboard with SureType technology. Yet, it also offers some new tricks--most notably support for Nextel's walkie-talkie services--that when coupled with the BlackBerry's push e-mail technology makes the 7100i a great device for on-the-go professionals. Plus, with a QWERTY keyboard, the 7100i is easier to use than the Nextel i930 by Motorola. Finally, at $199.99 after rebates, the BlackBerry 7100i is a good deal.
As mentioned earlier, the styling of the RIM BlackBerry 7100i doesn't stray far from that of the other models in the series, most closely resembling the BlackBerry 7100g. At 4.7 by 2.3 by 0.9 inches and 4.2 ounces, the 7100i will make for a tight fit in a pants pocket, but Nextel ships the device with a belt holster. And ladies, the handset shouldn't take up too much room in your bag. The external antenna does add an extra 0.75 inch of bulk, though. Overall, the mobile is comfortable to hold in the hand and up to the ear, but the plastic casing feels a bit cheap.
The RIM BlackBerry 7100's 2.25-inch screen displays 65,536 colors with a 240x260-pixel resolution, producing sharp text and bright images. The screen washes out when viewed in direct sunlight, but we like that you can change the size, the type, and the style of font, as well as the backlight time and the brightness. Below the display, you'll find a customizable shortcut button flanked by the Talk and End keys.
All phone numbers and text are entered through the RIM BlackBerry 7100i's modified QWERTY keyboard, which features two letters per key instead of one; the numerals also share space with the 10 buttons that occupy the center of the keyboard. RIM redesigned the keyboard in this manner in order to give the 7100i's a smaller and more phonelike form factor. If you've used a full QWERTY BlackBerry in the past, this new layout may take some adjustment, but we got the hang of it after a day or two. In addition, the 7100i features SureType technology to make text composition easier. This functionality acts like predictive-text entry; after you input the first couple of letters of a word, the device then presents you with a list of possible words from which you can select.

Dell Streak 7 Manual
Streak 7 may just look like an enlarged version of the 5-inch version, but they differ in more than just screen size: the 7 packs a powerful 1GHz dual-core Tegra T20 processor, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, 5 megapixel lens on the rear, T-Mobile "4G" HSPA+ connectivity, and 16GB of internal memory. The tablet runs Android 2.2 with Dell's Stage UI for now, but Dell promises an upgrade to Honeycomb once it's ready. It sounds like one of the more well-rounded 7-inch tablets on the market right now and at just $200 on contract at T-Mobile (it's $450 without), it's actually quite well priced. However, there are quite a few things that are going to keep 7-inch tablet seekers from forking over the cash. What are those? We'll tell all in our full review -- read on for more!
how it feels in the hand, but unlike the original Streak, the back doesn't house a removable battery. That actually turns out to be an incredible bummer given what you're about to find out about the battery life farther down in this review.
While many slate makers are moving towards the 10-inch form factor, we're still appreciative of the portability of the 7-inch variety. (Yes, so much so that some of us are even dying for a 7-inch iPad.) Like the Galaxy Tab or Archos 7, the Streak 7 lends itself much better to one-handed use than the iPad or any of the other 10-inch tablets we've tested. We loved being able to comfortably hold the 0.48-inch Streak up when reading a book in bed or wrapping both our hands around the 0.9-pound tablet and being able to use our thumbs to type.
Apart from the three capacitive buttons (back, menu, and home), mic, and camera on the front of the tablet, Dell's kept the design very clean. A plastic latch on the right edge, which can be hard to open if you don't have long nails, hides the SD and SIM card slots. The top of the device has a power button and volume rocker, and the left edge a 3.5mm headphone jack. Disappointingly, there's no HDMI output on the device itself; Dell will offer a separate dock that will attach to the PDMI port on the bottom of the device. A quick word on the PDMI port -- it is the same as the one on the original Streak, and because there's no other USB port on the tablet, you've got to have the cord handy to either charge it or connect it to computer to sideload files. Also, our review unit hasn't been charging via USB -- you have to plug it into the wall via its AC adapter. Yeah, it's pretty annoying.
In comparison to the Galaxy's 1024 x 600 resolution display, the Streak's 800 x 480 panel just looks cheap, and the experience is definitely felt when browsing, reading, looking at photos, or watching a high-definition clip. In a side-by-side comparison of the same photo, the Streak 7 just looked low-rate in comparison to the Tab's crisp rendering. Yep, it's pretty much a Pixel Density Enthusiast's nightmare.
Even more noticeable is how much brighter the Galaxy Tab's display is. Hands down, Samsung went with a better quality panel than Dell, and it really makes a huge difference considering, you know, the entire tablet experience is centered around the screen. That quality also translates to mediocre viewing angles -- when held horizontally at about 45 degrees, colors start to fade to black. Vertical viewing is better, although in comparison to the Galaxy Tab's screen, which can be seen at virtually every angle, it's yet again just second rate. Beyond all the actual viewing quality issues, the capacitive screen is extremely responsive, and it, along with the Tegra 2 processor, keeps it responding to our taps and flicks quickly. The accelerometer was equally as snappy, though we wish there was a quicker way to disable it than having to go through the display settings menu.

PS3 Update to Firmware 3.56 Rumor for PlayStation Users
PS3 firmware update that actually does something useful! We've grown so accustomed to Sony refreshing the software on its console just to spite jailbreakers that we almost started to believe that's all the word "update" entailed. But, here comes Kotaku with word that v3.6 of the PS3's firmware will come with a neat little addition: saving games to the cloud. This seems a very logical step toward delivering Sony's overall goal of giving users a holistic, integrated experience. Indeed, during the NGP presentation, guest speaker Hideo Kojima specifically referred to saving your PS3 game on the console and resuming it on the Next Generation Portable. "Online Saving," as Sony's reputed to be calling it, would be the conduit through which that can be realized, though it doesn't appear like it'll come for free. Kotaku's sources indicate it'll be part of the PlayStation Plus subscription, at least initially. Still, we like cloud storage, and if it means never having to see another hard drive again, we're all for it.

Orange County Choppers Foreclosure
Orange County Choppers, the business featured on the reality series American Chopper, has been embroiled in some major drama as of late, and now the company is facing foreclosure.
Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. have been fighting over money, specifically Paul Jr’s stake in OCC. Now, OCC’s lenders are filing a foreclosure, that has nothing to do with the family tensions.
Choppers has allegedly missed several mortgage payments, one for $96,400 and another for $14,000.
Choppers reportedly didn’t make the payments, not due to lack of money, but because they were protesting the terms of the loan.
They claim the building is worth millions less than it had been in 2007 and want their payments lowered.
No official statements by either party have been made as of Tuesday morning.
Orange County Choppers or OCC is a custom motorcycle manufacturer based in Orange County, New York, founded by Paul Teutul, Sr. and Paul Teutul, Jr. in 1999 and is featured on American Chopper on TLC.
OCC also runs a seasonal kiosk at the Woodbury Commons Outlet in Central Valley, New York.

The Next Generation From Sony PSP Release Sony NGP
It's actually codenamed NGP and will revolve around five key concepts: Revolutionary User Interface, Social Connectivity, Location-based Entertainment, Converging Real and Virtual (augmented) Reality. It will be compatible with the PlayStation Suite and is backwards-compatible with downloadable PSP games and content from Sony's PlayStation Store.
Specs include a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 5-inch touchscreen OLED display with 960 x 544 resolution, dual analog sticks (not nubs as on the current generation), 3G, WiFi, GPS, a rear-mounted touchpad, the same accelerometer / gyroscope motion sensing as in the PlayStation Move, an electronic compass, and cameras on both the front and back.
Games will come on "new media," not UMD anymore, but we're unclear on what sort of flash memory is being used. Sony's rather proud of the fact it's offering the world's first dual analog stick combo on a portable device, though we're more geeked about the quadrupling of pixel count from the original PSP.
Sony's live event has been graced by demos of some pretty popular games, including Killzone, Resistance, Little Big Planet, and Uncharted -- with the latter serving as a demo platform to show off how the NGP's rear touchpad can be used to more intuitively climb up some vines. That touch panel on the back is the same size and positioned directly under the front OLED touchscreen, which allows for some pretty sophisticated controls when using the two simultaneously.
The new console's UI will be called LiveArea, which has a bunch of vertically navigable home screens and built-in social networking through PlayStation Network. You can jump between games and the LiveArea without losing your progress and comment on your buddies' great feats of mobile gaming.

Download User Guide Desktop Gateway Computers DX4840
The Gateway DX4840-15 mainstream desktop is all about compromise. You get a potent PC at a palatable price, at the cost of future upgrade potential. That may not matter if your needs are simple. But you're out of luck if you want to breathe new life into your machine later on down the line.
The DX4840-15 is equipped with a 3.2GHz Core i5-650 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. On our WorldBench 6 test suite, it earned a mark of 128--a strong showing that eclipsed the results we saw from some pricier machines. The Dell Studio XPS 7100, for example, achieved a score of 120, but it closes the gap by offering superior graphics performance and a Blu-ray player.
Gaming performance was a bit lackluster. Powered by an nVidia GeForce GT 320 graphics board, the DX4840-15 produced an average of 37.8 frames per second on our Dirt 2 benchmark (at 2560 by 1600 resolution and the highest settings). That's a playable frame rate, but it doesn't leave much room to grow.
You won't find much room for growth inside the DX4840-15's standard Gateway chassis, either. The midsize-tower case is fairly small, which limits your ability to swap in new components--and the untidy wiring job doesn't help. The motherboard offers one free PCIe x1 slot and one free PCIe x8 slot. You have enough space to replace the graphics card with something a bit more substantial; but if you attempt to do so, you'll also need to contend with the 300W power supply.
The chassis provides an open 5.25-inch drive bay and a pair of hard-drive bays for future expansion. The hard drives face outward, which would make accessing them rather simple--were everything not locked down by screws. Tool-free cases, however, are generally reserved for boutique vendors and for models higher up the desktop totem pole (particularly in the performance category), so that isn't too much of a disappointment.
Although the internal expansion options are lacking, Gateway has arranged a fair assortment of connectors around the DX4840-15. The front lip of the case has a pair of USB ports, along with a multiformat card reader, mouse and headphone jacks, and a shortcut button to Gateway's Photo Frame software (more on that in a bit). A bucket is available on the top of the case for resting your gadgets; it offers another pair of USB ports, too. The machine also sports a DVD burner.
On the rear are six more USB ports (for a total of ten). You'll also find PS/2 serial keyboard and mouse connectors, and a gigabit ethernet port; the graphics card, meanwhile, has DVI, HDMI, and VGA connectors. The machine also offers 802.11n Wi-Fi, courtesy of a PCIe card. The antenna's connectors are in an awkward spot: just below the graphics card, impeded by any monitor cables you'll attach. As a result, the antenna needs to poke out to the side of the system, as opposed to pointing straight up. It's just a quirk of the slot placement on the motherboard, though, and it won't affect functionality.
You don't get much in the way of printed documentation; once you've fired the machine up, however, Gateway's InfoCentre offers everything you'd find in a manual. The utility also handles software updates and presents tutorials and quick-start guides for using the PC. If you insert a memory card into the multiformat reader, pressing the Photo Frame button pulls up an image viewer for organizing and browsing your files.
A keyboard and mouse come in the package, but you'll find no surprises--they're both generic, wired models. The keyboard is comfortable enough to use and offers media-shortcut keys, but if you're spending a bit of time working with your desktop, you'll likely want to upgrade to something more substantial.
The Gateway DX4840-15 offers a winning combination of performance and price--but sacrifices flexibility to get there. You'll have enough room to add an extra hard drive or two, and you can replace (or complement) the DVD drive with a Blu-ray player, but the wimpy power supply bottlenecks graphics performance. If you aren't the tinkering type and you aren't interested in high-end gaming, the DX4840-15 is a nice choice, at a good price.

The DX4840-15 is equipped with a 3.2GHz Core i5-650 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. On our WorldBench 6 test suite, it earned a mark of 128--a strong showing that eclipsed the results we saw from some pricier machines. The Dell Studio XPS 7100, for example, achieved a score of 120, but it closes the gap by offering superior graphics performance and a Blu-ray player.
Gaming performance was a bit lackluster. Powered by an nVidia GeForce GT 320 graphics board, the DX4840-15 produced an average of 37.8 frames per second on our Dirt 2 benchmark (at 2560 by 1600 resolution and the highest settings). That's a playable frame rate, but it doesn't leave much room to grow.
You won't find much room for growth inside the DX4840-15's standard Gateway chassis, either. The midsize-tower case is fairly small, which limits your ability to swap in new components--and the untidy wiring job doesn't help. The motherboard offers one free PCIe x1 slot and one free PCIe x8 slot. You have enough space to replace the graphics card with something a bit more substantial; but if you attempt to do so, you'll also need to contend with the 300W power supply.The chassis provides an open 5.25-inch drive bay and a pair of hard-drive bays for future expansion. The hard drives face outward, which would make accessing them rather simple--were everything not locked down by screws. Tool-free cases, however, are generally reserved for boutique vendors and for models higher up the desktop totem pole (particularly in the performance category), so that isn't too much of a disappointment.
