Since so many devices these days come with a touchscreen display, it makes perfect sense that there are moments when you just do not want to use your fingers to manipulate the icons on the touchscreen display itself, be it when you are busy gorging on a bucket of spicy buffalo wings, or when it is freezing cold out there, and you do not want to remove that comfortable pair of wool gloves. Enter the stylus, but with so many choices in the market, just which direction should you go? The Jot Capacitive Touch Stylus from ThinkGeek might just fit the bill, where it feels as though you are holding a familiar ballpoint pen. It is made out of durable aluminum and steel for the exterior, making you feel as though you are writing like a boss right from the get go.

Are you going to turn off all your lights during Earth Hour this weekend? Will you do your part in helping keep our earth green? If so, then you might want to check out different methods of cutting down on your energy expenditure, and that might even include an overhaul of the existing consumer electronic items in your living room. Sceptre is one brand name that has long been associated with budget friendly TV sets that offer a careful balance of technology and performance without breaking the bank, and they are at it yet again with the 40 Series LCD HDTV.

Touted by Sceptre to be the “ultimate eco-friendly TV” for those who are on the lookout for outstanding image quality, long term energy savings and environmental friendliness. With the latest 40 Series LCD HDTV, it will deliver 38.5? of viewing goodness in the form of the X409BV-FHD, where the manufacturing process followed strict guidelines that are specially aimed at maximizing materials while decreasing environmental waste. Apart from that, it also boasts of an extremely energy efficient design that is compliant with Energy Star 5.3, which ends up in significant reductions in energy consumption with an estimated yearly energy cost of only $14. I am not quite sure of the $14 figure – just how many minutes of TV do you watch on it each day then?

All right, so we have established the claimed fact that the 40 Series LCD HDTV from Sceptre will be green in nature. But apart from that, what else does it bring to the table? For starters, there is Auto Dynamic Contrast Enhancement which reveals low-light details even in dim locations, a fair number of HDMI ports to hook up to the latest entertainment devices, an LCD backlight life that has been rated at over 50,000 hours, among others. If you are interested in picking up one of these puppies, I am pleased to say that the asking price of just $399.99 goes to show Sceptre’s commitment in keeping prices low for the current cash strapped generation.

A USB charging hub is one ordinary accessory that we have all come to take for granted. I mean, how many people would actually give a second look to this particular USB accessory? Not many, I suppose. Thinkgeek has a mind to change your viewpoint by introducing the $39.99 Converge USB Charging Hub, where it will be able to juice up to a quartet of exhausted device batteries via USB in style and comfort. When you are done, just stash away the cables in the back – and you know what they say, out of sight, out of mind.

All you need to do is plug the power source into your nearest outlet and you are good to go. Just bear in mind that USB might stand for Universal Serial Bus, but that does not mean it is capable of powering up Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit or the Blackberry Torch, Blackberry Curve, or the Barnes & Noble Nook. Don’t ask me why those devices are exempted, but then again, going with what the majority of people use is always a better idea than supporting more obscure devices.

Everyone is talking about going green these days, and it makes perfect sense, too. After all, we have but a single earth here, so if we are not going to take affirmative action to go green ourselves, who else is? Sprint, one of the big four mobile carriers in the US, will be offering the LG Viper 4G LTE smartphone later this month, where it will retail for a mere $99.99 with a spanking new two-year service agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate. Current and existing customers who are interested will be able to place a pre-order for the LG Viper from next Thursday onwards.

I do wonder, however, as to why this puppy has been named after a venomous snake. After all, isn’t it supposed to portray a green image that we can all identify with? A poisonous serpent is not going to do much, but when you brush the naming convention aside, all we are left with would be the nitty gritty, the essential parts. Basically, the LG Viper will run on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, and accompanied by 1GB RAM, boasting mobile hotspot capabilities and a microSD memory card slot which is capable of holding away yet another 32GB of data. At the back lies a 5-megapixel camera with flash, while in front you would be greeted by a VGA camera that paves the way for a fun and easy face-to-face video chat experience.

One other advantage of the LG Viper would be the inclusion of Near Field Communication (NFC), where you are able to access true value features including Google Wallet, an app that paves the way for payment using a mobile device at participating retailers, where among them include Bloomingdales, Toys “R” Us, CVS, Gap and Macy’s. The 4? touchscreen display is said to offer remarkably bright and clear sight even in direct sunlight. A Corning Gorilla Glass screen protector ensures it has added strength and resistance just in case you happen to be a little bit rough with it.

It seems that gesture-based controls which were made famous by the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect has now spilled over (in some way, so to speak) to the world of laptops, as Sony’s latest E Series 14P laptops that will hit Europe will also boast Sony’s very own Gesture Control feature, letting you swipe your finger between pages as well as adjust your music accordingly. Of course, right now, these gesture-based controls will play nice only with Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer 9, PowerDVD and PowerPoint, although who are we to rule out future compatibility settings? No idea on how much the Sony VAIO E Series 14P laptops will cost, but that ought to be fixed in due time.

About the specifications, the E Series 14P laptops will feature a 14? display at 1366 x 768 resolution, running on an Intel Core i3 2550M processor, accompanied by 4GB RAM and a choice between the AMD Radeon HD 7670M or Intel HD Graphics 3000. Regardless of the model, you should be able to eke out around 7 hours of battery life from them. The inclusion of the new Rapid Wake + Eco will allow you to get in on the action within moments. This particular energy-saving mode will send the VAIO into an ultra-low power deep sleep (like the Odin-sleep in the Thor comics from Marvel?), ensuring your data is retained for up to 10 days. When you decide to have it awake from its slumber by opening its lid, it will take mere seconds to get you up and running.

Not only that, organizing, editing and sharing your media collection has been made all the easier with the VAIO E Series. PlayMemories Home by Sony is thrown into the mix for free, letting you add effortless polish to your photos and video clips in a jiffy.

Epson does not only churn out printers, but they do have a mean collection of projectors as well. One of the latest projector models to be released by Epson to the masses would be the PowerLite X15, where it is said to target small- and medium-sized classrooms in addition to conference rooms, all for a mere $599.

The Epson PowerLite X15 will oust the extremely popular PowerLite 92, and just to get a rough idea on why size does not matter, this new projector is capable of delivering up to 3,000 lumens color and white light output in XGA resolution, as well as sporting advanced connectivity without breaking the bank for home users or small organizations and educational institutions.

Just what kind of bang for your hard earned buck does the Epson PowerLite X15 offer? For starters, it will come with an advanced feature set, where among it includes HDMI digital connectivity which allows you to hook it up to the latest devices, delivering high-quality video and digital audio in the process. There is also USB Plug ‘n Play which will pave the way for instant projection of video and audio from a PC or Mac using a USB connection.

Do remember that the projector also comes with an easy setup process which is known as Easy-Slide technology, where it delivers an intuitive horizontal keystone adjustment slide control bar which will enable teachers to place the projector off-center from the screen while making the necessary horizontal image adjustments with a single touch of a finger.

Yes, we do know that there exists a smartphone which runs on the Windows Phone platform known as the Nokia Lumia 610, but here is a refreshing take on said handset by the Finnish mobile phone manufacturers – by throwing in NFC (Near Field Communication) capability, and hence, the smartphone is now called the Nokia Lumia 610 NFC. How apt, and simple, of course. Leaked earlier this morning, it did not take too long before Nokia decided to let the cat out of the bag officially by introducing an NFC version of the recently launched Nokia Lumia 610.

As for the mobile carriers who will deliver the Nokia Lumia 610 NFC to the masses, Orange is first in line. As for the rest of the carriers, I guess patience is the best policy here. It should arrive in due time, so hold on to your current device if you are itching for an upgrade.
