Outlets to Go 300 Review

Today I’m giving you a review of the Outlets to Go 300 for Laptops by MonsterPower. This gadget retails for $29.95 at www.monstercable.com.

Aesthetics 

This device has a nice smooth black finish, which gives it that minimal effect to it. Makes it great for blending it which wall surfaces. 

Minimal Space

The greatest thing about the Outlets to Go is how small and portable it really is, weather your going around the corner or around the world; it fits in all laptop bags, carry on bags or where ever you place your electronic devices. 

Very Stable 

It has survived numerous drop test, which makes this very stable in a real world scenario, in which you may drop your bag. 

Cons

There are a few cons. I wish it had four outlets instead of 3 just in case I had an extra device I would like to plug in and also more usb ports if you're a geek like myself, you have more than two gadgets that charge via USB. 

Other than that, this is a great little gadget to carry around. I give it an 8 out of 10.

Iomega Skin "Industries" Hard Drive Review

Thanks to Iomega for sending out this brilliantly designed hard drive for review. Today I bring my humble opinion of the device you see to the left, the Skin "Industries" 500GB HDD.

Based on the popular eGo range of HDD's, Iomega have gone to town with this one. It's part of a special edition set of hard drives, with only 3 designs to choose from, I went for the Black as it suits my setup more, and I quite like the design on the top. The HDD comes in its own designed box which is made from a very hard cardboard, quite eco-friendly if you ask me, along with a USB2.0 cable, instructions and leaflet to download the Iomega software for the device.

So, what kind of HDD is inside this beauty? It's a 500GB, 5,400RPM (It could be 7,200RPM) HDD, with transfer speeds of up to 480MB/S, which to be honest for a portable HDD isn't all too bad. I have it hooked up to my Mac, but the deive also supports Windows (XP, Vista, 7), and Linux if you format it. I obviously formatted it to the native Mac OS X Journaled HFS+ File System, but the drive is shipped running NTFS, which is known widely throughout the Windows Platform. During tests, the drive was able to transfer a number of files in very quick succession, even using my old 500GB HDD I use for Back-up, the Skin "Industries" drive managed to transfer files in nearly twice the speed, saving a lot of time to do other things.

I think in short, I'm really happy with the performance and design of the hard drive. The only downside I have to say is that the USB cable could be a little bit longer, but apart from that I can't complain with it, it does it's job perfectly and doesn't stand out like a soar thumb on your desk like most desktop drives do.

This drive can be purchased from Iomega for around £70.00 ($110.00).

Once again, many thanks to Iomega with supplying me this hard drive; it's been a pleasure to use it.

Metal Gear Solid Touch for the iPad is a game worth buying for anyone that likes FPS games that are styled like Time Crisis. The story follows Metal Gear solid 4's timeline with a few twists in it. This game has great graphics, two good cutscenes and hours of gameplay between the different modes. There is a lite version for the iPhone or the full version costs $7.99. The iPad version comes with the iPhone bundled with it, which is $7.99 as well.
