Sony’s Ericsson division of cell phones continue with its announcement of the Spiro and Zylo Walkman slider models that are coming out Q3 in select areas of the world. Like all units in the Walkman series, these are fairly small and basic cell phones that focus on music playing. Sony touts the Spiro and Zylo’s FLAC support for audiophiles, but we audiophiles know that the biggest bottlenecks of mobile audio are mostly down to mediocre DACs and headphone amplifiers, not the files, although lower bit-rate MP3s (below 256Kbps) are noticeably compressed when heard through quality earphones.

Sony’s PVM-740 is a relatively small 7.4″ Organic Light-Emitting Diode monitor with low-resolution: 960×540 maximum, 646×487 in 480i and 480p, and 768×540 in 575i and 576p. More »

Also, the 13″ MacBook Pro’s GeForce 320M is a custom integrated graphics chip designed by NVIDIA specifically for Apple. The main reason why the 13″ model retains Core 2 Duo processors and does not get the Core i5 is because of NVIDIA’s ongoing legal battle with Intel, whose newest chipsets require that integrated graphics be Intel only; therefore, Apple either had to downgrade the 13″ MacBook Pro’s graphics by using an i5 CPU and Intel GPU or keep the old Core 2 Duo chipset and NVIDIA’s far speedier 320M. Since I do not play games on my MacBook, I would have preferred an i5 with Intel graphics, but Apple’s compromise is ideal for decent gaming. More »
