Belkin introduces new USB 2.0 hub
USB hubs - I know - don’t they just excite you? Well Belkin is hoping that its new USB 2.0 hub will instill some emotion in you.

Sony Ericsson z500a Star Wars Mobile Phone
If you’re a Cingular subscriber AND you’re a Star Wars fanatic, then this phone is for you - the Sony Ericsson z500a Star Wars Mobile Phone. The z500a is a Star Wars commemorative phone with special sound effects, ringtones, graphics and more. Cingular even created a special Star Wars section on their website. Nuts! Reminds me of marketing craziness that occurred two years ago when the new Matrix films were coming out. We all know what happened there…

Canon EOS 350D
I must say that I really do miss my SLR camera. I had this wonderful EOS 10S camera from way back when that took some of the most beautiful pictures ever. Now, I only carry around digital cameras .. and it really isn’t the same thing at all. Then I see cameras like the Canon EOS 350D and just drool - a digital SLR.. *sigh* now if I only had the money for such a beast. Digit-Life takes this camera for a spin. What’s the verdict?
If you have been waiting for a sterling reflex camera at a reasonable price, this camera is worth a closer look. It is hardly possible to manufacture a better camera in this class

Samsung Digimax V700
TrustedReviews takes a look at the new Samsung Digimax V700 digital camera. This camera has a 7MP CCD, a 2 inch LCD monitor, a Schnieder-Kreuznach 3X optical zoom lens, and a sleek aluminum body. What’s the verdict?
Samsung’s best model to date; a powerful super-snapshot camera with some excellent features and good build quality. Not without its faults, but redeemed by superior image quality and good performance. There are better cameras, but few that offer better value for money.

Shuttle SN25P XPC reviewed at HotHardware
HotHardware reviews the new Shuttle XPC SN25P XPC SFF system. The SN25P brings the NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra chipset to the world of Athlon64 based SFF systems. What’s the verdict?
The SN25P is yet another winner in Shuttle’s highly regarded line of XPC systems. The P-Series chassis, on which the SN25P is based, is definitely a step in the right direction, with its intelligently designed cooling scheme and almost completely tool-less installation (a philips head screwdriver is needed to install the CPU cooler).
