Kinect: To Buy or Not to Buy

      About a month ago, Microsoft put out two Major updates to the XBOX world. Firstly, they put out the sleek black, XBOX 360 Slim. Secondly, the long awaited Project Natal has finally materialized as XBOX Kinect.     Project Natal was introduced as a new technology designed for Wii-like gaming without the controller.     Now, Project Natal has been renamed Kinect and is being sold to use with

Windows Phone 7

     Gone are the days of the ten pound, giant black hunks of plastic and metal they once called cell phones. Over the years, the cell phone has evolved all the way down to the small flip phone, or the "feature phone", and more recently, the smart phone.     The smart phone, a slim device that makes phone calls.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro, the most notable thing about Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro is its diminutive size. Unlike almost every other smartphone on the planet, you can hide it behind a credit card, and if you have especially large mitts, you might be able to close your hand completely around it. At 3.3 inches tall by 2 inches wide by 0.7 inches deep, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini
