Das Keyboard, a renowned keyboard manufacturing company, which specializes in clicky mechanical keyboards such as IBM Model M and Apple Extended Keyboard, has released the Mac Edition of Model S Professional keyboard. The keyboards of Das are favorites of plenty of PC users like Arnold Kim, Chief of MacRumors. The all new keyboard for Macintosh is similar to that of Model S, which has been marketed by Das Keyboard, however with appropriate command.

CNET gave Model S Professional four star rating praising its satisfying clack and tactile feel and noting that power typists will find nostalgia, comfort and utility in this all new keyboard’s springboard performance and sleek design. The Model S Professional brings back same mechanical key switches, providing audible and tactile feedback, which might even enhance the typing accuracy and speed.

Das Keyboard is basically a series of premium computer keyboards marketed by Metadot Corporation, the open source software company situated in Austin, Texas. Their most unique feature has been the lack of key labels that is the keys themselves are both completely blank and black, thus allegedly helping to enhance touch typing skills.

Time for another tech trend that I have noticed the last time I reported on the Miveu.

The trend is turning the iPhone into an action camera, like the GoPro or other similar models. This one by Optrix is designed to be a durable frame for the iPhone/iPod Touch into a camera, and clip to a bike so you have access to the iPhone itself.

Because of the Optrix, you will be able to shoot with the iPhone 4S’s full 1080p HD. Thanks to the new optics that can allow more light and video stabilization, your videos will be less shaky than most “extreme” videos. By the way, the case is water resistant so you can take some water, snow, or wherever you are filming.

The Optrix HD has a protective touchscreen membrane, which is only 0.5 mm thick and allows you to take control of your applications. The big bonus is that you can actually see what you are filming, unlike other cameras where you see an indicator light and edit out the bad footage later.

The Optrix is a POV camera that allows the user to do playback, edit, and share videos directly from the site. The company claims that they are the only one that can do that, and they also claim that their new application can make the Optrix HD “the most powerful POV device on the market”.

One look at the device and you will be forgiven for thinking it is a toy. It is really small and has a 3-inch screen. The entire device is no bigger than the palm of your hand. It is, however, thick and feels extremely well built. Despite the good build the device is really light, weighing 100gms.

The review unit we received was black in colour but the device is available in pink and white as well. The body of the device has a matte finish which is great as it avoids the device from becoming a fingerprint magnet. The touch screen however registers fingerprints very evidently.

The reason the device is a little thick is because it has a slide out QWERTY keypad. The slider on the device is quite sturdy. It also has a distinct click every time you slide it open or shut. The backlit keys rest on a matte-finished silver surface. The keys may appear to be small at first and they are but you eventually get used to typing on them. The rear of the device has a plastic back that can be ripped open to reveal the battery slot.

The rear also houses the 3.2MP fixed focus camera. There is just one physical button under the screen i.e. the home button. The right panel houses the volume rocker and a dedicated camera button. The top of the device has the on/off/lock button along with the 3.5mm headphones jack. The micro USB port rests here as well. This port can be used to transfer data to the device as well as charge the phone. All-in-all, the hardware and styling of the device can be a true eye candy amongst your friends.

Listen, and I’ll tell you the story of the bookstore chain that stormed into the hottest category in consumer electronics and conquered.

Talking about this tablet then let me tell you it is one of the best tablets known in the market. This is just not good because of its features but because of its look as well. You can see the above picture,its look is really very stylish and dashing.

But that was fiction. Barnes & Noble Inc.’s new Nook Tablet ($249) is a solid product, worthy of duking it out with Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle Fire. Considering that the Nook comes from a desert planet where the only entertainment was shooting womp rats (Sorry, I mean “from a bookstore chain.”), it’s really impressive.

But the Nook doesn’t quite muster enough force to blow up a Death Star. Barnes & Noble’s earlier Nooks were dedicated book-reading devices, and the Tablet is at most a half-way step into the world of general-purpose tablet computing.

Like the new Kindle Fire, the Tablet has a 7-inch, touch-sensitive color screen, about half the size of the iPad’s. It’s the same screen as on the Nook Color, the e-reader Barnes & Noble launched a year ago. I thought it was the best e-reader yet when it launched.

The Tablet improves on the Nook Color mainly by beefing up the processor and the memory and extending the battery life to 11.5 hours of reading, or 9 hours of video.

The Tablet also has improved software, but the Color will be getting the same software through a downloadable update.

The Tablet is debuting with Netflix and Hulu applications. Coupled with the nice, sharp screen, that makes for a good device for that TV and movie fix -as long as you’re connected to Wi-Fi. The apps actually highlight one of the shortcomings of the Tablet: there’s no way (short of hacking the software) to use it for offline viewing of movies you buy or rent.

Wireless headsets have always been popular and in demand among gamers and PC users. However, despite of their demand and popularity, there were few companies that could offer quality products.

Huawei might not be that huge a player in the world of tablets, but that does not mean being small places one at a disadvantaged position. No sir, Huawei has just announced that their MediaPad is one of the first tablets in the world to ship with Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system right out of the box. Originally sold on the market back in June 2011, the original MediaPad proved to be a world beater by being the first 7? Android tablet with Android 3.2 Honeycomb, and now the successor to the MediaPad in its latest iteration too, will deliver the most updated Android operating system version.

Apart from that, Huawei also took the opportunity to announce a trio of new colors in the previous MediaPad series, where you will be able to choose from shadow black, classic brown, and passion pink, and all of them will ship with the previous version of Android (Android 3.2 Honeycomb). Regardless of which MediaPad version you decide to pick up, it will still carry a high-quality display of up to 1280 x 800 pixels at 217 PPI, being full well capable of supporting 1080P Full HD video playback. Not only that, it will be powered by a Qualcomm dual-core 1.2GHz processor and boasts a battery life of at least six hours.

T-Mobile has just announced another smartphone that will be made available to the masses – the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G. This is another handset that will fall under T-Mobile’s range of 4G devices, the third actually, where the Galaxy S Blaze 4G will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor that runs on dual-cores at 1.5GHz. Not only that, your eyes will also appreciate the brilliant Super AMOLED touch screen display alongside a host of pre-loaded entertainment to help you get started right out of the box. No idea on pricing, but we do know that the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is being prepared for a release slightly down the road. Patience, my friend, is the key to unlocking its promise. I would suppose it runs on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, although whether an Ice Cream Sandwich update is coming down the road or not remains to be seen.

Andrew Sherrard, senior vice president, marketing, T-Mobile USA, has this to say, “Consumers want the accessibility and entertainment capabilities that smartphones offer, and we’re committed to providing a range of 4G device options. The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is the latest smartphone that enables consumers to unlock the full potential of T-Mobile’s faster 4G network.”

Gaming is serious business, and for those who take their frags and RTS strategies seriously, then surely high-end hardware is the name of the game for such gamers. CES 2012 proved to be a potent platform for Razer to continue with their serpentine collection of gaming peripherals, with the latest one being the Razer Naga Hex gaming mouse. Yes sir, their latest gaming mouse will feature half a dozen thumb buttons that was specially designed for MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), action-RPG and hack and slash genres.

The inspiration behind the Naga Hex? Its predecessor of sorts, the award-winning Razer Naga MMO gaming mouse came with a 12-button thumb grid, so the Razer Naga Hex now sports six large thumb buttons that have been optimized for the user interfaces found in action-RPG and MOBA games.

All of the six mechanical buttons can be bound to specific spells, abilities, items, and other invaluable commands in MOBA games such as League of Legends. This alone paves the way for faster and easier actuation, where a mechanical key infrastructure that uses less force to actuate allows you to have the upper hand in terms of speed over your enemies. This results in you being able to strike them before they can react, pretty much in the same way most snakes attack with lightning fast reflexes. Not only that, with Diablo III more or less ready to roll out in due time (not taking as long as Duke Nukem forever, I hope), you can prepare yourself by getting the Razer Naga Hex beforehand since it is perfect for obsessive clicking in hack and slash games.

HP has taken advantage of CES 2012 to be the platform where they will roll out their latest masterpiece which comes in the form of the ENVY 14 Spectre. Take a look at it above and you will know what I mean – this nifty little consumer Ultrabook that resides in the premium category is capable of commanding anyone’s attention thanks to its clever and unparalleled use of glass. Couple that with the kind of stunning performance that you thought would exist only on a desktop, and you could very well have a winner here.

The HP ENVY 14 Spectre will rely on lightweight, scratch-resistant glass on the lid, display, palmrest and HP ImagePad, clearly making it an industry first. The 14-inch screen that is located within a 13.3-inch body – while it does not really make sense at all when you read it, it does mean one thing – seeing is believing, and you might want to get your booty down to the nearest HP showroom when this arrives.

Some of you might remember when we covered the Biscotti, which enables HDTV video chats. Samsung recently unveiled a similar product with the inTouch.

The inTouch is a 3 Megapixel camera that is designed for video chats, and a lot more. Unlike the Biscotti, which allows for communicating with GTalk members and other Biscotti users, the InTouch uses Skype, a very popular video chatting application.

The inTouch also comes with a remote control that has a QWERTY keyboard plus a numerical one. This is also an improvement over a Biscotti, as the remote only allows for arrow keys and makes it very difficult in setting up or entering in contact information. This keyboard will enable you for web browsing.

Yes, the InTouch allows you to surf the web as well as send or receive emails. In one press of a button, you can have access to news, weather, horoscopes, and even more. You can also upload, archive, and view photos with family and friends. By the way, do you want to watch some YouTube vids? It’s there too.

Let us check out just what kind of specifications this puppy packs after the jump, shall we?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 will come with a brilliant Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen display that makes viewing movies on this a truly eye-popping experience, never mind that it does not even deliver stereoscopic 3D yet. Enjoy movies, view pictures and play games that will be more lifelike than ever before with its high-definition 720p (1280 x 800) resolution display.

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 will run on a 1.4 GHz dual-core processor underneath the hood, where its HTML 5 Web browser delivers speedy access the Web, and you won’t find yourself running into the dreaded never-ending circle or hourglass icon whenever you stream movies or music anymore thanks to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. Measuring at just 7.9mm thin while tipping the scales at 340 grams, this tablet will no doubt turn on the style whenever you remove it from its sleeve or take it out from your bag.
