We’re accustomed to hearing reasons why one cellular carrier is better than another, but now, Sprint has even more of a reason to brag. According to a 3G comparison test conducted by PC World, Sprint has the most reliable network, beating out Verizon and AT&T in 13 cities examined by the magazine. This test is good news for Sprint and backs up the company’s claim of having the “most dependable 3G network.” PC World conducted the tests in March and April in 13 major markets around the country. Cities included

There is a ton of activity in the solid state drive market, with new products announced seemingly on a weekly basis. One SSD product that generated some buzz out at Computex last month was the PhotoFast G-Monster-V5, due to its claimed 270MB/s read and write speeds. It wasn’t available back then, however, we just got our hands on one for a quick evaluation and thought we’d give you a sneak peek at the goods.We’ll be doing a more thorough evaluation of this drive in the days ahead, but we wanted to show you some

Nokia has seemingly been the device manufacturer feeling most of the global pain from the iPhone, but a note issued on Wednesday by Piper Jaffray’s T. Michael Walkley notes that in June both Palm’s Pre and the iPhone grabbed market share from BlackBerry as well. While this is a report from Piper Jaffray, it’s interesting that in mid-June, CNNMoney, which published the info about the investor note, stated that RIM was still on solid footing with its BlackBerry devices. In that report, Ryan Reith, senior research

Enermax Aeolus CP001 Notebook Cooler @ OCModShop and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

Notebook computers tend to get hot. Some are even considered to be “desktop replacements” because of all the advanced hardware thrown into such a small space. With desktop systems, we have the luxury of adding large and advanced heatsinks with fancy LED fans, but laptops pretty much have to rely on the OEM cooling that the manufactuer has decided is “good enough”.

Enermax says “nay” to this philosophy and introduces the Aeolus CP001 notebook cooler, which is made from all aluminum, and has a large 250mm fan to blow a lot of air to the underside of your notebook and remain silent while doing it. The fan is also equipped with blue LEDs to produce a nice glow in your man-cave. Aeolus is the god of the winds, in Greek Mythology, so Enermax apparently thinks highly of this product.

It’s not often that hard drives break new ground. Sure, Western Digital’s 1TB monster was an exception to the rule, but in most cases, each new HDD we see is a logical successor to the ones that came before. Maybe a bump in cache, an increase in capacity or a new spindle speed, but hardly anything ground-breaking.For those bored with the status quo, let us introduce to you Samsung’s Spinpoint N3U. Said drive is a 1.8″ HDD with 250GB of capacity, but what makes it special isn’t all that room in such a small space.

Patriot Memory announced yesterday the release of their Torqx M28 SSD Series with capacities in 128GB and 256GB, backed by a new industry leading 10 year warranty for all Torqx SSD products. The Torqx M28 SSD has been specifically designed with cutting-edge technology by increasing the DRAM cache from 64MB to 128MB of cache in conjunction with its current NAND flash technology. The ultimate result is an SSD that allows faster transfer rates between the controller and the host device.

“The Torqx series SSDs takes the technology of SSD to the next level,” says Meng J Choo, Patriot's Flash Product Manager. “Competitor non-cache drives suffered from what consumers described as 'stuttering affect' which inhibited the drive performance. Torqx Series addresses this issue with a DRAM cache that acts as a buffer for data transfer bottlenecks and increases the random and sequential read and write transfer rates.” Patriot continues to be a leader in the industry by improving the Torqx series warranty from 2 years to industry leading 10 year warranty. Patriot will take their new warranty one step further and retroactive their new warranty to all consumer purchases prior to this announcement.
