Acer Predator Gaming PC

According to Acer’s dramatic tagline, their new Predator gaming PC range is “Faster. Deeper. Harder. Further.” The metallic orange desktop certainly catches the eye, though I’m not sure everyone will appreciate the looks (or the mechanical drive bay cover, which reminds me of a trash lorry mechanism); however what will likely impress is the guts of the beast. An overclockable quad-core Core 2 Extreme CPU with liquid cooling, up to 8GB of DDR2 800/1066 RAM and three NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX video cards.

The odd mechanical codpiece covers up two 5.25-inch bays, ready and waiting to be spec’d with a DVD burner, BD/HD DVD drive or both if your budget extends. There’s also a multiformat card reader and a total of eight USB 2.0 ports (four up front, four round the back). Gigabit ethernet is par for the course, but the WiFi is only b/g, not draft-N, which seems unusual compared to Acer’s rivals at Alienware.

Storage is ample, though, with four easy-access 3.5-inch SATA bays that can be set up for RAID 0, 1, 5 and 1+0. Acer offer up to 1TB of total capacity. Audio is the usual surround sound with all the digital gubbins, and there are two eSATA ports and an optional TV tuner.

Acer are keeping quiet on price and availability details so far, but expect it to be high-end just like its rivals.

Apple iPhone 3G


It's no secret that Apple and AT&T are planning to introduce a 3G iPhone sometime in the future, but now evidence is mounting that the formal unveiling will be at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9.

In a report issued Thursday, Citi investment research analysts Richard Gardner and Yeechang Lee suggest hopes are high for the announcement and refer to the date as "D-Day for 3G."

"We expect a steady stream of new products beginning on 9 June (the likely date for Steve Jobs' keynote at the Worldwide Developers Conference) with a 3G iPhone and iPhone/iPod touch SDK, continuing with a refresh of the complete laptop line in July/August and concluding with a complete refresh of the iPod line in August/September," Gardner said in the report to investors.

A representative with Apple was initially unavailable to comment on the report. Apple does not typically talk about products before they are released.

A possible 3G iPhone announcement during Steve Jobs' keynote is not unlikely. Several sources are suggesting the same. For example, AT&T chief executive Randall Stephenson promised a new 3G iPhone sometime in 2008. In March, Apple and AT&T stock jumped up after a Bank of America analyst research report about the third-generation phone indicated that an announcement could come by the end of June.

Another indicator of a June 9 "D-Day" for a 3G iPhone are reports that AT&T has delayed the launch of the BlackBerry 9000 from June to August to allow the iPhone launch to take center stage.

So can iPhone fans who have suffered through the slow speed of AT&T's EDGE network look forward to a speedy UMTS/HSDPA network? AT&T's advanced network is available in 272 metro areas and runs along the 700-MHz spectrum. The UMTS/HSDPA network initially will support data speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps.

However, with a new network in place, consumers may question whether the offering will be backward compatible. Current iPhone owners also will want to know if they'll be able to use the 3G network.

"An iPhone using UMTS/HSDPA will operate at much higher data rates and cover wider geographical areas" than current iPhone models, network spectrum expert Joe Nordgaard said in an interview Friday. "AT&T has been rolling out UMTS/HSDPA for a long time now."

In a sense, a UMTS/HSDPA network will just be a stop on the way to a superfast LTE network. In recent months, AT&T has bought wide swathes of spectrum that are expected eventually to be used for LTE.

In announcing AT&T's first-quarter financial statement earlier this week, Stephenson, who has said the iPhone will be a cornerstone around which AT&T will build its future, cited the advantages of the new spectrum. "AT&T is moving quickly to create the next generation of wireless," he said. "The future of wireless has never been more promising, and I am very pleased that through our transaction with Aloha Partners and our successful bids in the recently completed auction, we have assembled the industry's premier, high-quality wireless spectrum position. This spectrum will provide a terrific foundation for new wireless and integrated services, and it significantly advances AT&T's long-term growth potential."

Nordgaard, who is managing director of wireless consulting firm Spectral Advantage, noted that he has no inside knowledge of Apple's or AT&T's plans, but the capability of the UMTS/HSDPA spectrum will dictate some paths the companies will likely take. (IPhone users have been able to get relatively high-speed access on their handsets through their Wi-Fi capability.)

"Given Apple's reputation for user-friendliness, I would expect them to have some capability for current iPhone customers" to access UMTS/HSDPA, he said, adding that the use of the UMTS/HSDPA networks could offer possibilities for the 3G phones to utilize networks in the United States and Europe. Nordgaard said there are frequency differences between the two continents, but they are slight enough that workarounds might be able to be built to make iPhone usage compatible on both sides of the Atlantic.

MWg ATOM V


The Atom V is MWg's first phone out since it changed its name from O2. The MWg Atom V has all the features of the former Atom Life but with a slimmer profile.

Design

I've seen my share of PDA Phones from O2 but so far, the Atom V is the slimmest PDA Phone I've seen. Though not really super thin like most smartphones out in the market, *cough*iPhone*cough*, it is still pretty slim compared with the previous Atom Life. Though it is slimmer, the MWg Atom V is noticeably wider than the Atom Life, making it less compact than its predecessor. The MWg Atom V is HTC Touch Cruise's main competitor. The MWg Atom V did away with the raised bezel, making this device more “finger-friendly”. Ever since Apple introduced the iPhone, using a stylus for your PDA seems so 10 years ago.

The MWg Atom V, like the HTC Touch Cruise, has a circular directional pad, however, it lacks the circular motion that the HTC Touch Cruise has. I don't know why there's a need to make the directional pad circular, it takes up too much space on the device and MWg would have done better if they made it smaller and increased the screen size to 3 inch instead of the regular 2.8 inch.

Features, Performance, and Complaints

Though the MWg Atom V looks like a better version of the Atom Life design-wise, underneath the device is another story. While the Atom Life runs on a 624MHz processor, the Atom V only has a 520MHz processor which seems like a downgrade considering that both device have 64MB of RAM. MWg could have done better by upping the RAM to increase performance. Atom Life users would find that the MWg Atom V is less responsive compared with their previous device. Add to the fact that there seems to be a somewhat delayed response time with the touchscreen LCD.

Comparing the swiping motion on the HTC Touch Cruise and iPhone, the MWg Atom V is in last place. There's a noticeable lag when swiping through the buttons on the homescreen and it is not as responsive compared with HTC Touch Cruise and of course, the iPhone. Maybe it's my own personal bias but I always find that O2's PDA phones suffer from more freezing and resets compared with HTC's PDA phones.

One major update that the MWg Atom V has over the Atom Life is GPS. This is one of the deciding factors why I have purchased my Dopod D810 (HTC P3600i) over the Atom Life. The MWg Atom V has a SiRFStar III chipset. Since GPS is just an added feature on this device, obtaining satellite signals takes quite a while which is something that I'm used to with my HTC P3600i. This would probably frustrate those who are used to a stand alone GPS device.

Aside from the slow response time, low RAM, and slower processor, another thing I hated about the MWg Atom V is that it lacks an internal camera for video calls. I won't even bother reviewing the camera. Like the camera on every PDA phones, it sucks so if you're after a good camera phone, look elsewhere other than the MWg Atom V.

Conclusion

I have to give the MWg Atom V points for design. At first glance, this device is definitely mouthwatering. However, since HTC Touch Cruise offers almost the same specs with a higher RAM, I'd point you in that direction unless of course, the design of the MWg Atom V really got to you.
