Dell says Windows 7 price is possible barrier

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 19 May 2009 22:16:00 +0000

Windows 7 pricing is potentially an obstacle to Windows 7 adoption for some users, though in just about every other aspect the operating system is beating Vista, according to a Dell marketing executive.

"If there's one thing that may influence adoption, make things slower or cause customers to pause, it's that generally the ASPs (average selling price) of the operating systems are higher than they were for Vista and XP," Darrel Ward, director of product management for Dell's business client product group, said in a phone interview, referring to the various versions of the Windows 7 operating system that are expected to appear.

Ward continued. "In tough economic times, I think it's naive to believe that you can increase your prices on average and then still see a stronger swell than if you held prices flat or even lowered them. I can tell you that the licensing tiers at retail are more expensive than they were for Vista."

In the business market, Windows 7 Professional is expected to be more expensive than Windows Vista Business, the version that Professional is replacing, he said.

Some schools and smaller businesses may not be early adopters due to price. "Schools and government agencies may not be able to afford (the additional cost). Some of the smaller businesses may not be able to enjoy the software as soon as they'd like," Ward said.

Pricing aside, Ward said momentum behind Windows 7 is big compared with Vista. "When Vista came out we didn't have the motivation to do the types of services that we're doing now. We didn't have the clear customer demand for such services," he said. "We do have a visible number of customers, large and small, who are actually waiting for Windows 7 and who have already put plans in place to target the transition to Windows 7, they're asking Dell for help. That demand and this opportunity is stronger than it has been in the past," Ward said.

And Dell is already getting its service organization in gear for Windows 7. "Our professional service organization is beginning to structure service offerings specifically designed to help customers migrate their images, their applications, and their management infrastructure, security capabilities and so forth."

More than half of Dell's business customers are still using Windows XP and these customers will eventually have to upgrade, according to Ward. "XP cannot live forever," he said.

To help users migrate from XP to Windows 7, Dell supports the upcoming operating system's XP mode. "It's one of the things that Microsoft is doing that we think is helpful. Putting an instance of XP virtual machine in the higher end SKUs (models). This is another alternative for compatibility. We'll fully support that in our product and consulting services." he said.

Driver readiness is good, with some exceptions. "Driver readiness--it looks pretty healthy compared to the past. (There are) some things that haven't been worked out. The WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Lab) drivers for AMT VPRO is a little behind," he said, referring to Intel's Active Management Technology, which allows remote access to PCs for security, maintenance, and management.

Generally, however, Windows 7 is much further along than Vista was at this stage, he said. "But if you look at the ecosystem enabling for Windows 7, it is much further along that it was at the same time for Vista," he said.(news.cnet.com)

PowerShot SX10 IS 10.0 MP 20X Zoom Digital Camera - Canon

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:58:00 +0000

Whether the action is fast or slow, close up or far away, you'll always get the shot you want with the PowerShot SX10 IS. This camera puts you on the cutting edge of advanced technology, with an incredibly powerful 20x optical zoom, 10-megapixel resolution, and DIGIC 4 image processor for high-performance face and motion detection.

The PowerShot SX10 IS is equipped with a 20x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 5.0-100mm that allows you to shoot any scene from wide-angle to telephoto.

The camera uses a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for high-speed, quiet, energy-efficient lens movement with precise control. Focal length is conveniently indicated on the lens barrel. The lens is optimized to fully exploit its zoom length and wide shooting angle in concert with the camera's high 10.0-megapixel resolution. UD glass effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, while enhanced negative refractive power ensures that distortion at the wide-angle is also corrected.

Further aberration is controlled with the inclusion of a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens and ultra-high refraction index lens. The SX10 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed optical image stabilizer technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon's optical image stabilizer technology is convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.

ROCCAT Kone Gaming Mouse Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:46:00 +0000

A device for a truly high-end gaming user

There’s no doubt that the gaming business has become a significant part of the PC industry, as we are seeing more and more companies focusing on products that are specifically built to meet the requirements of gaming enthusiasts all over the world. I am talking about PC hardware and PC peripherals that are crafted and then marketed as gaming-focused products, meant to help gaming users improve their skills or just take advantage of a better overall gaming experience.

This ad zapped. On that note, we start our review of the ROCCAT Kone Gaming mouse, a product designed by the Germany-based ROCCAT Studios, and released on October 1, 2008, although it was announced back in late 2007. A product that, given by its specifications and overall design, will be competing with some of the most popular gaming peripherals on the market, like Logitech’s G9 Laser Mouser, Razer’s Lachesis, or even Microsoft’s Sidewinder X5. Basically, like all the products from this category, the ROCCAT Kone has been designed and marketed with gaming in mind, providing gaming enthusiasts with a set of high-performance and unique features.

When the Kone mouse arrived at our door step, it brought along a “friend,” more specifically, the ROCCAT Taito, a 400 by 320 mouse pad, also designed with gaming in mind. Dare we say that the entire package was a rather interesting and welcome surprise, especially since we were about to test one of the latest gaming peripherals on the market, one released just a month ahead of the 40-year anniversary of the computer mouse. Now, if you were to look at the Kone and the first prototypes created by Douglas Engelbart, you would likely think that you are taking a long journey through history.

Sony Vaio TT Notebook Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 05:42:00 +0000

TT... What's the first thing that comes to mind when seeing these two letters put together? I don't know about you, but in our case, it's without a doubt the famous sports car from Audi, a vehicle most of us have coveted since it first appeared on the market.

The truth of the matter is that the Audi TT is not the only TT out there. And we're not talking about some other car developed by a competitor of the German company, but about something completely different, namely the Vaio TT notebook, one of the most ultra-portable Vaio systems to ever come out of Sony's design labs.

Launched back in the second half of 2008, Sony's Vaio TT has impressed everyone right from the start, due to its minute size (almost as small as some of the larger netbooks currently available on the market), its low weight, its very good level of performance, and, last, but certainly not least, its looks.

In fact, the TT carries on the legacy of stylish notebooks that's common throughout the entire Vaio family portable computing systems, but at the same time manages to keep the whole form factor at a very compact level. However, it does so at a very steep price point, which makes it a suitable solution especially for those people for whom money's not exactly a problem.(softpedia.com)
