    Nationite S:Flo2 Review - A cheap but awesome sounding chinese PMP

    File copy is possible in OSX/Linux but you cannot update its firmware in either. You need Windows for that. But IIRC all new S:Flo2's are shipped with V2.3 (latest FW). It does what its supposed to (at a great price too) and its SQ is just epic, i knew it would have issues but now i've gotten...

    Motorola Defy and Defy+

    I've tried most, SanDisk handily beats them all (Though Verbatim was also pretty good, i'd still stick to SanDisk since they offer a better warranty). And the SanDisk flash drives will be slower than the Corsair GT, just look at the different in their prices.

    Nationite S:Flo2 Review - A cheap but awesome sounding chinese PMP

    This is a slightly edited version of my review that i posted on Chip and TE and i thought to post it here as well. This is my first review and since this player is relatively unknown here. I'm sort of a semi-audiophile (so i'll go into the details a bit :-P ) and this is my first "Decent" audio...

    Pakistan Broadband

    Damn, those are some great Tariffs though i have a feeling that they will also introduce a FUP once the subscriber base is large enough, like what happened here. Its a shame ISP's like Airtel are dragging the India down, hell India is the only country ever to have Broadband speed in negative

    Good Cabinet for around 5k

    Phantom is a great case but is also way over budget at 8.1k. You can look at something a little bit cheaper like the NZXT Tempest EVO at ~ 5700.

    Lifetime question

    I see what you did there :wink: If you want your rig to last long, get a decent PSU, a decent motherboard (not those puny 4/6-phase VRM ones) and decent cooling (even a cheap aftermarket cooler like the Hyper 212+ would do. Also, 2+2 case fans for better air-flow in your cabinet wouldn't hurt...

    Motorola Defy and Defy+

    Just buy a SanDisk class 4 card, most usually give speeds equal Class 6 standards. Avoid Transcend and Kingston cards, their reliability is pretty terrible

    Latest PC Hardware Prices in India

    I really dont see any benefit in posting a 2 year old price sheet, shamefully copied from some other forum which is full of parts which are EOL :/

    HDMI vs DVI vs VGA

    Just curious, how did you come to the conclusion that HDMI is better than DVI "quality wise" when you just (correctly) said that there is no difference in picture quality b/w DVI and HDMI ? @fukra - Just use your DVI cable

    headfone for lg p500 and pc

    If you can extend your budget a bit then the Audio Technica M35 is a pretty good headphone. You can order it from Pristine Note

    GTX 560Ti - MSI or Asus?

    I don't get why everyone is recommending the DCII so much. Its a good card, yeah but Rashi's service is horrible. If you're fine with that then by all means, buy it.

    Tata Sky connection sharing ?

    If you have the HD box then its dead simple. Just buy an HDMI replicator from the market and voila. Not sure about the SD STB

    HP DV6 6016 tx/6017Tx VS DELL XPS15

    I tried both for quite a long time and here are my first impressions - HP Positives Thinner and lighter Runs cooler (5-10C constantly) Is more quiet (TBF the environment was noisy but the XPS's fan went pretty loud during furmark) Better GPU Slightly cheaper when specced the same Dell...

    Help choosing between between Defy and Optimus 1

    Just get the Defy and hope that it gets updated to FroYo soon. The other option is to save up and buy the Galaxy S which retails for ~ 20.5k on Croma now.

    24x7 always on laptop

    When downloading, keep the lid open. Vostro 1410/1510 have bad cooling (especially around the HDD which frequently reaches 45+ C) which might affect its long term reliability. Also, run HWMonitor and post the wear level of the battery, that backup time is way less. My 1410 used to give me ~...

    Galaxy sl + 8Gb mem (class 6) = arnd 23k or Galaxy S (16 Gb) @ 25 K or Galaxy S2

    Re: Galaxy sl + 8Gb mem (class 6) = arnd 23k or Galaxy S (16 Gb) @ 25 K or Galaxy Instead of the Galaxy S, you'd probably be better off with the HTC Desire S (23k) + 16GB Class 4 SanDisk card (1.5k) or a 16BG Kingston Class 10 card (2.5k). [avoid the Class 6 cards, not much faster than the...

    Brainwavz M1 - value for money earphones

    I mean, lets say you're listening to an orchestra, how well does the earphone place the various instruments and how much variation of their depth is perceived ? Also, how well do these IEM's fir people with smaller ear canal's and did you wear them over-the-ear or straight down ?

    Brainwavz M1 - value for money earphones

    Haha, 2 months delivery from MP4Nation ? Looks like i got lucky (got a pair of M2's for a friend in 12 days) :P Good review though, and a good IEM too :) PS- How's the imaging of these IEM's (i.e. Instrument placement when listening to music) ? If its good, then i might get it for a friend...
