2. SplashCast – Your Very Own Multimedia Channel

SplashCast for Facebook is a platform designed to enable you to post videos, podcasts, and presentations on your personal multimedia Channel. It already has a lot of great multimedia contents, plus you can upload your own and compile them together into an appealing stream of contents that will attract friends and viewers.

The gaming industry is on fire! A lot of interesting games will be released in 2010, bringing new developments and whopping tech leaps to the table. Which games are the most anticipated ones? Check them out right here.

Just like 2009, MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) will still be creating headlines in 2010. The two most anticipated MMORPG comes from two of the world’s greatest sci-fi titles: Star Wars and Star Trek. Star Wars: The Old Republic features a superb open-world platform that will enable you to determine every possible aspect of a mission, including making decisions on the outcome of the quest you are having. The graphics are fabulous, and it will surely be one of the best MMORPG game ever released. Star Trek Online gives you the unique mixtures of starship combat and on-foot missions, allowing you to explore the universe along with thousands of other players online.

Several offline games must also be anticipated, promising superb graphical improvements and addictive gameplays to gamers around the world. Mass Effect 2 will be the sequel everybody is waiting for, but the crème de la crème would have to be Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. This latest installment of the Command & Conquer series guarantees you mind blowing real-time strategy battles that will keep you playing for victory.

My personal favorite? Spec Ops: The Line! This Dubai-set tactical combat shooter may not be the best there is, but it will be more than what you could imagine from this kind of game. 2010 will be an interesting year indeed

Yes, The Observer and Review of Web crews are back for our second part of holiday shopping list. We have 5 items on our list so far, including BlackBerry Bold and Nintendo DSi, and we are going to add 5 more items to the list. Shall we start?

 

	5. IPEVO Kaleido R7 IPEVO Kaleido R7 is the digital photo frame you would want to get this holiday. Yes, it may be a little expensive, but the sleek design of this product as well as its features makes it worth every penny. Kaleido R7 has exceptional display quality, capable of displaying photos at best quality. Built-in Wi-Fi and 512MB internal memory are also part of the package. I literally spent days trying to find something wrong with this digital photo frame, and the only thing I can find is this product’s slightly premium price tag.
	4. Garmin Nuvi 265WT Garmin’s Nuvi 265WT is among the cheapest free-traffic-equipped navigation systems, and it is on our shopping list, definitely, because of its wide 4,3” screen, Bluetooth speakerphone capability, solid design that will make it look good mounted on your dashboard, nice text-to-speech and voice-guided navigation system, and of course its user-friendly touch interface. Priced at sub-$300 — you can even find Nuvi 265WT sold at $150-$200 after discounts and rebates — Garmin Nuvi 265WT holds the highest value-for-money score in its class.
	3. Sony Bravia XBR9 52-inch LCD HDTV OK, we know that the XBR10 series is better, especially with LED backlight, but the $5,000++ price tag makes Sony’s top LCD HDTV product rather unsuitable for our holiday shopping list. We don’t just blindly go for features; we calculate value-for-money as well. In this case, we decided to go with Sony’s largest XBR9, the Bravia XBR9 52-inch LCD HDTV. Comes fully-equipped with 240MHz Motion Flow refresh rates, Internet widgets, and an impressive 100,000:1 contrast ratio with all the vibrancy you would expect from Sony, with only $2,000 on its price tag, are what make this product a fabulous living room companion.
	2. IPod Touch 3rd Generation IPhone is great, but we personally opted for iPod Touch instead for our holiday shopping list. Why? You’ll see . With unrivaled bright and crisp screen, and a choice between 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB of internal storage, iPod Touch is a fabulous portable media player indeed.
	1. Motorola Droid And for our number one item: Motorola Droid. With Android 2.0 as its operating system, this is the first phone that can actually compete with Apple’s iPhone and has a strong chance of winning. With large — the largest in mobile phones so far — LCD touchscreen, 5-Megapixel camera, and long battery life, this is the dream phone you should get your hands on.

Digital photo frames make great holiday gift. There are so many different digital photo frames currently available, so we’re going to take a closer look at some of the best and most affordable ones in this article.

	Memorex MDF0722-WLDB Memorex 7-inch digital photo frame is definitely one of the best there is. With less than $40 on its price tag, this digital photo frame features a bright 7-inch LCD display with 16:9 aspect ratio, 2 in 1 memory card slot for MMC or SD card, and of course a picture-rotate feature. The outer-frame is trendy and pop, making it suitable for displaying your pictures in a nice way.
	Coby DP702 This Coby 7-inch digital photo frame is also priced at sub-$40, but it packs features found in high-end models with a nice wooden frame touch. It is capable of displaying JPEG Photo Files, as well as playing MP3 and WMA music files, JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG- MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 (XviD) video files. It has a built-in speaker, native support for USB connection, and a complete set of SD, MMC, MS, xD, and CF card slots.
	Digital Spectrum MemoryFRAME The MemoryFRAME ULTRA MF-801 8.4-Inch Digital Picture Frame has an 8.4-inch LCD screen capable of displaying high resolution pictures at their bests. With its interchangeable faceplates, you can easily fit MemoryFRAME to any 8-inch X 10-inch ready-made frames. It has a built-in 512 MB memory and compatible with external memory cards as well. The price of this device may be higher, but you will surely enjoy its capabilities to display photos and play audio and video in JPEG, BMP, MP3 and MPEG file formats. It has slightly larger screen than other digital photo frames we are reviewing here, but we decided to put it here anyway since it is a great option for holiday gifts.
	Sony DPF-D70 This 7-inch digital photo frame from Sony, priced below $70, is also a nice holiday gift for people you love. The quality of DPF-D70’s LCD screen is virtually unmatched, plus it has 256MB of internal memory, multiple display modes, support for most memory cards, and of course a native USB connection capability. Known also as the S-Frame, DPF-D70 will surely make displaying digital photos in your living room very easy; definitely a fabulous pick.
	Pandigital PAN7000DW Pandigital is known to be one of the leading digital photo frame manufacturers. This 7-Inch digital picture frame. It is one of the highest rated digital photo frames, and users are picking this up as their favorite for sure. Its 1 GB internal memory holds up to 6400 images; I doubt you would need extra storage, but Pandigital provides you with SD/MS/MS-PRO/MMC/XD memory slots just in case. The overall design is cool and simple, making it fits perfectly anywhere you want to place it.

Well, those are 5 of the best and most affordable digital photo frames available. They would make a fabulous gift pack, so pick one you like now for this year’s holiday gift.

Holidays are coming, and what could be better than starting early on your holiday shopping, right? We at Review of Web thought about starting our holiday shopping as soon as possible, so we took our time and reviewed some tech perks that should be on our, and your, holiday shopping list.

10. Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard

With color GamePanel LCD capable of displaying in-game information for over 60 games so far, Logitech G19 is definitely a must-have. This USB keyboard would make a fantastic holiday present for gamers. If you are thinking about going the extra mile, make sure you get G35 surround sound headset and Gx9 laser gaming mouse to the present as well.

9. Sony CyberShot DSC-G3 Wi-Fi

The latest member of Sony CyberShot family now has built-in Wi-Fi. This 10 Megapixel digital camera has definitely earned its place on this year’s holiday shopping list because it produces crystal clear images. Connect to the nearest hotspot and you can upload images and share it with your friends and family instantly.

8. Asus Eee PC 1005HA

With 6-hour-plus battery life, this netbook from Asus is definitely the top of its class. Eee PC is known to be the pioneer of netbooks, but that is not why we put 1005HA in out holiday shopping list. With Intel Atom N280 1.66GHz processor and 160GB hard drive, plus the sub-$360 price tag, Asus Eee PC 1005HA is a keeper and a mobile computing wonder.

7. Nintendo DSi

We’re not saying that all Nintendo DS owner should switch to DSi, but if you are serious about mobile gaming then this is the gear you should have in your pockets. Nintendo DSi is a superbly solid gaming platform with lots of cool features and exciting games that will keep you entertained for countless hours.

6. BlackBerry Bold

Yes, the newly released BlackBerry Tour and the upcoming Onyx appear to be more interesting, but we think that BlackBerry Bold has a strong appeal to wider users. You can never turn your head away from something priced at less than $200 yet packs so many features that will make your work, and life in general, a whole lot easier.

EBook readers are definitely the new way of reading books, newspapers, magazines, and any digital publications you can think of. You can easily carry thousands of books and publications with you — including comics — and read it whenever you want. When talking about eBook readers, Amazon Kindle has got to be on the top of the list.

Kindle is the pioneer — and the best — of eBook readers. There are new versions of Kindle recently launched to keep up with the market’s needs and wants, and they are even better. Amazon announced the Kindle 2 on February 9, 2009. The device became available just a few days after and received amazing responses and reviews from its users. An international version is also released on October 7, 2009, enabling users from around the world to use local 3G network to download books and publications to their Kindles.

Kindle features a lot of interesting traits. It is well-designed with only 1/3 of an inch in thickness and 10.2 ounces in weight. It is completely portable and can be carried with you without hassle. Downloading books with the support of 3G wireless network will only take no more than 60 seconds. It can holds up to 1,500 books on its internal memory, so you wouldn’t have to worry about running out of publications to read. You will surely enjoy reading books and publications on its 6″ diagonal E Ink® screen; it is one of the best eBook reader screen technologies currently available, enabling you to read eBooks for hours without straining your eyes. It will also display books vividly under direct sunlight — reading books using Kindle will feel like you are reading paperbacks. Don’t worry about battery life either, read books for days with a single charge.

There are currently 7,832 customer reviews on Kindle’s page; it is no surprise at all since users are lining up to get this amazing eBook reader and they all love it. I took the liberty to quote one of so many testimonials, and here’s what it says:

The Kindle is fantastic. If I need to look up a term, or a treatment, I just type it in, and seconds later, the Kindle returns with all references to it within the entire library. Now, I know how valuable this is… it’s a reference library I can carry with me. More than that, though, the ability to find the information I need quickly could save lives. Also, the readability is superior to any PDA. The “Electronic Ink” format reduces strain on the eyes, and those of you with vision problems can adjust the font size to VERY LARGE fonts. Sure, the PDA has plenty of useful medical tools you can download, but I find more often than not, I want to be able to see the full text involving the condition, diagnosis, and treatment of the term I’m looking up.

Interested? You can have Kindle delivered to you instantly with Amazon’s One-Day Shipping. It is available in two flavours, with a storage capacity of 1500 books and 3500 books and at price of $249 and $489 respectively. Get your Amazon Kindle now!
