At the moment, many companies in the Accessory industry are loading their warehouses with iPhone accessories just waiting for the European launch of the 3G version on July 11th. Krusell is one of the companies that are affected of this hausse, which led to that their iPhone cases have become their best seller for June. Since the iPhones are to be considered as high end devices, we know by experience that the device will have a high case rate and are prepared for a rush after iPhone cases also during the coming month, says Ulf Sandberg Managing Director at Krusell.

The Swedish manufacturer of carrying cases for portable electronics, Krusell, has released their “Top 10″-list for June 2008. The list is based upon the number of pieces of model specific mobile and smart phone cases that have been ordered from Krusell during June 2008. Krusell’s list is unique due to the fact that it reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 50 countries around the globe.

Facts:

Krusell International AB with 130 million SEK in turnover and 330 employees is a Swedish company exporting high-end cases around the world. After more than 15 years in the cell phone industry, Krusell is established as one of the leading brands in its niche.

PC Review have a new article on how to run Linux in Windows, by emulating a Virtual PC :

“Many users of Windows XP and Vista will want to try Linux at some point, often just to see what all the fuss is about. There are many different Linux distributions and it isn’t convenient for a non-technical user to set up dual booting alongside an existing Windows install. Thankfully, there are tools available which mean you can play with a full Linux install inside the familiar surroundings of Microsoft Windows.”

…”It’s been a while since we tested notebook attended for
professionals in 2D and 3D visualization. As buyers of these models are
usually very demanding, manufacturing process and configuration are
something that’s always paid attention to. And that is why smaller producers
keep themselves out from these waters leaving that market to biggest and

TITLE: SOYO 26-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor DYLM26E6 @ Benchmark Reviews

DESCRIPTION: Benchmark Reviews has tested several different monitors over the past year, and even though they all offer nearly the same features there still seems to be a high premium paid for some names.  Not SOYO.  Last year we reviewed the 24-Inch DYLM24D6, which was an extremely popular widescreen monitor that could be purchased for less than $300.  That was over a year ago, and so as you can imagine prices have come down a but since then.  Today we get to offer another excellent value: SOYO 26-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor MT-NI-DYLM26E6.  Presently this monitor is available for only $379.99, which is an unbelievable price for any 26″ widescreen LCD that can produce 1920×1200 WUXGA resolution.

More than 20 years after the story started, Solid Snake’s story comes to an end. I wish I could say more about this game without spoiling it, but it is very hard. I will say that there is finally a reason to own a PS3 aside from just running Folding@Home all the time, or playing Resistance. Even if you only liked the original Metal Gear Solid, pick this title up. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. This game, much like Grand Theft Auto 4, packs so much onto one disc that it is truly worth the $60 price tag. If you missed the games between one and four, take a moment to find what you’ve missed in the story so you can truly appreciate Solid Snake’s final mission.

Article Name: Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000SNA Computer Case Review @ Tweaknews.net
Article Url: http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/thermaltake_xaser_vi_vg40000sna_computer_case/

Article Snippet:

“With the Xaser VI, Thermaltake has an aluminum full-tower chassis that will rival the best in it’s class. The innovative tool-free features are well executed and make working in this Xaser a real pleasure. Arguably the best feature is the sliding motherboard tray. Or maybe the hard drive mounting solution. What about the densely populated front panel I/O plate? Or the outstanding cooling design? There’s a lot of stuff here to like, and I like the vast majority of it.”

I travel with my laptop, a lot.  Sometimes, I need to carry an outlet strip to attach AC powered peripheral devices.  Of course such a device takes up more room in my laptop bag than I desire.  Luckily, this next product is a terrific solution to the bulky outlet problem.

At the recent Pepcom Digital Experience show, I was given a few review samples.  One of these samples is the Monster Cable Outlets To Go 3 USB, it’s a portable power strip for the PC user on the go.  If you are running multiple AC powered devices and are pressed for outlets, this ultra portable power strip is the one for you. The best part of this power strip is the addition of a USB port on the side, it allows you to charge any USB powered device without having to plug into the AC outlets.After taking the Outlets To Go 3 USB on the road for a few days, it is time to give my impressions.

Let’s see if this is the perfect solution for the tech road warrior…

Title: Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex” Alpha 1 @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12543
Summary: “The first development snapshot for the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (codenamed Intrepid Ibex) is coming out two weeks late — likely due to Canonical’s focus on getting the Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS update out next week — but what matters is that it’s finally here. Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1 is far from meeting the quality standards for end-users (there isn’t even a desktop LiveCD spin of this release), but that didn’t stop us from playing with this latest build from the Canonical camp. In this article we are looking at the few changes in the Intrepid Alpha 1 release for Ubuntu and Kubuntu as well as looking at some of the changes they have planned before this release goes gold in October.”

series A4 monochrome laser multifunctional printers. There were no
revolutionary products in this product category for a long time, but SCX
4300 is device that brings few innovations regarding to SCX 4200. These
innovations are related only to esthetics and printing speed. Differences
between SCX 4300 and its predecessor SCX 4200 are: insignificant shape

with computer is realized through fast USB 2.0 connection, and direct
communication between user and device is achieved through a large number of

“Winamp is an extremely popular, fast, and flexible media player for Windows. The software - which is available for free and as the $19.99 Pro version - supports pretty much every major audio and video file you can through at it, and it can be skinned for a completely new look and feel. Indeed, Winamp supports more than 10000 interface skins, 300 visualisation plug-ins and CDDB support for automatic CD audio title listing, making it the most customisable media manger on the planet. One word of warning: pay attention during the install, as Winamp will install several promotional utilities unless they are unchecked from the list.”

Meridian F80 Audio System Reviewed @ TheTechLounge

“If you’ve never heard of Meridian, well, I hate to say it, but it’s probably because you’re just like me and can’t afford to spend your entire annual income on a pair of loudspeakers.  While I think it’s safe to say that the F80 won’t set you back that much, it’s definitely not a cheap audio solution either. Let’s take a closer look and see what kind of value the unit has to offer…”

If you’re the type who thinks of 2.5″ drive technology only in terms of notebook products, then recently, Western Digital probably helped expand your horizons a bit.  With the release of their VelociRaptor 300GB SATA hard drive, mainstream users were exposed to the advantages of the high transfer rates associated with 2.5″ platters rotating at 10K RPM, with four access heads pulling data.  Though packed in a 3.5″ form-factor for desktop system compatibility, the 2.5″, dual 150GB platter platform that the VelociRaptor was built on allows it to outperform virtually all standard 3.5″ SATA drives on the market today, even WD’s 10K RPM Raptor WD1500 series.

However, the VelociRaptor is definitely targeted to the performance enthusiast, with a price tag currently at $1/GB (MSRP $299).  Regardless, when you consider the upside potential performance gains and the fact that a hard drive is easily the slowest component and limiting factor in many areas of overall system responsiveness, it’s obvious this new Raptor will do well from a retail perspective.  But what about the Data Center?

It was with these questions in mind that we decided to RAID up not two but three WD VelociRaptor drives in a RAID 5 configuration with an Areca PCIe X8 hardware RAID card, to see what the numbers looked like.  Head on over to the site and take a look…
