The Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS is offered as a convenient point-and-shoot camera with the added features of an onboard GPS receiver for seamless geotagging, and a ruggedized design. With a 14 Megapixel sensor, 720p video recording, built-in macro light, and 5x zoom, the camera does not lack special features. While I am familiar with the Pentax K5, the flagship D-SLR, this is the first Pentax point-and-shoot I have used extensively.

D-Link has always been a top competitor in the consumer router market, they offer great products that range from “average Joe” models to high end power user models, the DIR-657 is another introduction to D-Link’s high end router line. The DIR-657 offers a lot of great features however lacks in a couple of extremely important categories that I think may turn users off to the device.

Genius first came to MaximumCPU with a tablet designed to knock Wacom off their feet. That product managed to carve out a decent function-set for its price, and provided a solid alternative to more expensive competition. Genius is continuing to tackle human interface product design with innovative products like the Pen Mouse.

I’m admittedly a bit behind the curve when it comes to tablet usage – most of you more cutting edge-folks have been using an e, u, or i-something for a while now. However, now that the joy of effective tablet usage has arrived for many of us with a variety of good offerings (including my obvious favorite, my shiny new Galaxy Tab 10.1), it only stands to reason that there are a wide variety of accessories for those of us seeking to enhance our experience. Today we’ll be examining one of the first major accessories to emerge for new Galaxy Tab, the keyboard dock.

I previously reviewed Trendnet’s TEW-691GR wireless router. Nearly eight months later, the router has been running with perfect uptime and without a hitch. The TEW-684UB is the matching USB 802.11b/g/a/n receiver compatible with Trendnet’s blend of dual-band technology for 450Mb/s transfers.
