turbo.264
Review
MPEG-4 is rapidly becoming the standard format for video and rightfully so, as it offers great video quality and small file sizes. It is supported by iPod with Video, AppleTV, PSP and many other devices, however compressing videos to this format is a time consuming endeavor. On my Mac Mini converting a recorded movie can take all night. Elgato has come up with a USB device called Elgato Turbo.264, which speeds up the process very much indeed, read the review for full details.

Read MoreKeyword Manager
Review
Sweden has brought us lots of good things – Saunas, Ikea, Volvo, Saab, Astrid Lindgren… the list could go on – but Keyword Manager definitely impressing me much more than my Ikea desk or the Volvo I just can’t afford.

Review
When I decided to buy a new digital camera in June it wasn’t an easy decision. While I am not particularly talented, I expect a good deal from a digital camera. My main concern for a new digital camera was a better resolution, smaller size and more options. After some intensive reading up on the internet I decided on the Canon PowerShot A700, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it offered 6 Megapixels, 6x optical zoom and lots of features in an affordable package.
iBank 2
Review
Have you ever gotten your credit card bill, looked at the total, and just knew the bank got it wrong? My answer to the problem is personal financial software. For me it is “can’t do without†software, the type you install the second you get your computer. Does iBank fit that need? Check out the review.
