			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the Sony Playstation 2 might not be your first choice of console with its old technology, but in its day it was cutting edge and most of the good games still look fresh on it, like San Andreas Gran Turismo.</p>
<p>Looking through the latest sales figures that Sony have released in 2008 the Playstation 3 sold 9.2 million consoles whereas the Playstation 2  sold 13.7 million.  Ok this is down 1 million on 2007 but hey it’s still out selling the more powerful PS3. Its games sales are down 40 million on 2007 but would you believe Sony are still selling 154 million PS2 games. </p>
<p>The PS3 is slightly under its 9.5 million games sales target but with manufacturing costs on the down, this lowers the PS3 price so hopefully sales will keep increasing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ASUS Eee Box B202 has been floating around for a while in a design style rendering and it didn’t look too bad, almost the same slim white styling as Nintendo’s Wii.  A photo has now appeared claiming to be the actual product and although there are some minor changes to the rendering it still looks pretty good.</p>
<p>Weighing in at less than 1kg and packing a Intel Atom CPU, 1GB of DDR2 Ram and a 80GB hard drive this should be a nice little system for basic net surfing and email checking.  It will come pre-loaded with a linux based operating system, but it won’t be long before people are trying to run Windows XP on it.</p>
<p>There is no official statement or any further information on the release date or pricing. The only problem is that with hardware costs becoming lower the ASUS Eee Box B202 would need to be priced around the £200 mark, because when you look around you can get a lot more go for your money from various other online retailers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With its rich and colorful 2.8” screen we welcome the HTC Diamond after much anticipation.</p>
<p>The elegant body has clearly not been rushed in the design process, and is as nice to touch as it is easy to use. The body has faceted edges which really add to the phones stunning looks.</p>
<p>Ok it’s going to pick scratches up as soon as it leaves the box and you will spend the first few days having to wipe finger prints off, when impressing you’re friends who own iPhones.</p>
<p>What Orange calls Touchflo 3D is pretty much a slightly hacked version of the Apple cover flow. The main difference being that the album covers moves more or less from behind each other as opposed to side to side.</p>
<p>Orange is claiming a wonderful online experience with the HTC Diamond through full interaction with Youtube, Google and Wikipedia and its ultra-fast internet connectivity is set to almost rival a Home PC broadband connection.</p>
<p>The 3.2 Mega pixel camera has an auto focus and the Touch Diamond has a healthy amount of storage, 4GB of internal storage to be exact.</p>
<p>If you have ever left your sat nav at home don’t worry, the HTC Diamond has GPS so can easily guide you to your destination as efficiently as a dedicated sat nav system. Could this be the phone that shows up the iPhone?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Lenovo x300 might well set the market standard for Windows based ultraportable laptops in the future.</p>
<p>The X300 will have 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that fits into the same bracket as the 1.6GHz/1.8GHz chips that Mac are putting in their Macbook Air. One major bonus of the Lenovo X300 is that it has a 13.3 WXGA (1440&#215;900) compared to the Macbook air’s 1280x 800 resolution, and everybody wants and appreciates a good screen.</p>
<p>We hear you cry about hard drive space only been 64GB but it’s a solid state disk compared to the Macbook air’s 80GB PATA drive, the 64GB solid state drive is only available in Apples top of the range Air, that retails at £2,028.00 on their online store. The X300 is cheaper but only just, weighing in at £1953.26</p>
<p>Another, I would say essential feature of the Lenovo X300 is that it has a DVD-RW drive, unlike the Macbook air. Ok well you can buy the MacBook Air SuperDrive for around £70 but if you where paying over £2k for a laptop you’d expect a DVD-Writer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Grand Theft Auto IV hot of the press everyone seems to have got there copies if they pre-ordered, we quickly checked eBay earlier with copies selling for around £65, not bad if you bought 2 copies you’ve made a nice quick little profit.</p>
<p>The main worry was online play and how people would take to it with so many big games taking a lot of the online market place. Well we’ve just signed into Xbox Live and had a very short wait before we where spawned into Liberty City with a knife, pistol and some good old fashioned hand to hand combat, and spread around the death match arena are pistols, AK 47’s and rocket launchers. We are still to see if there is no boundary&#8217;s in the multi player game like it has been stated. </p>
<p>The main game play early on is quite dark so as soon as you damage your headlamps on your vehicle you almost driving blind, or so we thought but after messing about with a few settings, the game was fine and was nice and bright. This is quite strange to see how much the brightness of the game varies on its default setting from TV to TV. </p>
<p>The cars seem quite un-realistic to drive and are almost boat like swaying from side to side and tend to roll round the corners, let’s hope some of the high end cars will handle better than the more common ones.</p>
<p>Other little things we have noticed are, when running round tight corners there is a nice lean to Niko, also when you run into pedestrians in cars they don’t just flop over they tend to fall how you would expect them to fall in a real life situation.</p>
<p>San Andreas was one of our favourite GTA games as it had a lot of new features like gang wars and the ability to have a gang follow you around, will the new and latest Grand Theft Auto IV be able to take the crown. Available now for around £34.99 from all leading outlets.</p>

<p>Want to fit more music, videos or pictures on you mobile phone or mobile device? You can with the new 4GB micro SD card from SanDisk. The card will fit into any mobile device with a micro SD slot and the included adapter means it works with any SD compatible devices as well. </p>
<p>Some versions of the card also come with a handy usb adapter so it makes transferring files from your computer to your device or vice-versa even easier. Not all devices support 4GB cards but SanDisk has a product compatibility page on their website with a list of manufacturers and products so it’s best to check that first before ordering, or alternatively check your devices handbook .</p>
