Today Apple announced their ‘latest creation’ the iPad. The iPad is essentially a larger form factor iPod touch with the capability to also provide 3G data for use while you’re out and about. Let me break down the data options. First off, there are two models to choose from with differing capacities of 16GB, [...]

We got my 8 year old daughter the Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera for Christmas. This is a great video camera for its size and price. It records video in 720P and 1080P onto an SDHC card. The video quality is quite impressive. It also takes 5 Megapixel pictures with a 4X digital zoom. Due [...]

Apple’s Magical Mouse – The Magic Mouse

12. January 2010

I recently purchased the Apple Magic Mouse. It replaced my Apple Mighty Mouse that has been on the fritz for some time. The scroll wheel would tend to get stuck intermittently; however, this time I was unable to get it working again. I’ve been wanting the Magic Mouse for sometime, but couldn’t justify the cost [...]

iPod Nano Videos – Quality & Ease of Use

When Apple introduced the new iPod Nano in September I wanted it for one reason only, and it was for its camera with the video filters. I know it’s corny to want an iPod for that sole reason, but there wasn’t anything else really compelling about the new iPod Nano. I mean it has the [...]

iMacs are portables too. A case cruzer proves it.

Back in the late 1980s when the original Macintosh was all the rage, and government agencies were using the machines in their daily workflows, my father would bring home the computer from time to time. Sometimes he had work to do, and other times it was solely because I had asked him to. [...]

Drobo releases some new twins, just as hot as the old twins..

Drobo releases Twins, they’re kinda like the old twins, but with better genetic engineering this time around. At first, I was a little shocked that the fine folks at Drobo were announcing two new models to their lineup instead of replacing the current models with new updated editions. On first glance, the specifications [...]

A First Look At Razer’s Orochi Mouse

I haven’t had a mouse slide around so seamlessly like this since my first laser mouse. The Razer Orochi model kinda blew my mind. It’s small, it’s light, and it certainly moves around with ninja like speed. I was a bit skeptical when I opened the box up, the mouse was small (Approx. [...]

The BookArc is as sexy as they come.

If there’s one thing going for the Apple lineup that Windows pundits can’t take a pot shot at, it’s that they’re drop dead gorgeous. We here at Macgasm think that there’s a lot more to the Mac then how hot it looks on your desk or on your lap, but we’re not going to [...]

Missing iPhone OS Feature: Swipe to the next song

I’ve been using my Zune HD for over a month now and I use it almost exclusively for all audio. I do not watch much video on my Zune, but I never did watch much on any of my iPods and iPhoneOS devices much either. Since getting my Zune I have noticed a rather apparent [...]

Review: Magic Mouse hands on (and all over)

With every new product and revamped lines, Apple never cease so amaze us. So much so that their announcements attract a huge amount of attention and people flock to their nearest store in order to try out the latest update. I went down to the flagship store on London’s Regent Street to have a play [...]
