The BenQ LinkPro is compatible with BenQ’s MP620, MP770 and MP720p projectors and wireless transmits what’s on a PC’s display to any of the aforementioned projectors. Obviously, the main benefit is that you’re no longer tethered to a cable in order to get that wildly entertaining, if not immensely informative, PowerPoint presentation onto the wall. The LinkPro has a range of about 65 feet and is capable of transmitting up to 1,024×768 pixels. If you’re so inclined, you can even have 10 computers access the LinkPro using a hub. And yes, the LinkPro even lets you use wired connection, in case you fear naughty hackers stealing your precious presentation from thin air.
The LinkPro is available now (well, tomorrow) in Japan for about $260. – Nicholas Deleon

Nokia’s N73′s main feature is of course, the 3.2-megapixel camera. The camera has a Carl Zeiss auto-focus lens, which makes taking pictures a snap. The shutter works the same way as standard digital cameras, with the “auto-focus” part activating when you press the button halfway, and capturing the picture when you press it down all the way.The other features are similarly impressive: The Nokia S60 3rd Edition OS, 3G UMTS on 2100MHz band in Europe, EDGE compatibility in the US, miniSD slot, QVGA screen, second VGA camera on the front for video conferencing over 3G networks, stereo speakers and great reception. There’s three different color schemes this cellphone is available in: gray/plum, white/red, and white/mocha.
As of now, it’s not available in the US, but can be purchased unlocked for use on US GSM providers. – Jason Chen

External interfaces include three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi, SD memory card reader, and a biometric fingerprint reader. Here’s the verdict:
Although certain aspects such as the slow 4200RPM hard drive, lack of internal optical drive, and merely satisfactory screen…Even despite the cons, there are more than enough pros to tip the scales in the opposite direction: the unit’s light weight, excellent build quality and aesthetics, and commendable battery life
