Do you feel the Need for Speed?
Then test your connection now…..
We know there are plenty of websites that test the speed of your web connection but we found one from Speedtest.net that looks great and is easy to use. Speedtest.net is a general use broadband connection testing site with many geographically dispersed servers to test against. You can test your connection anytime and even store your results for future reference. Here at Text4price we have been testing it on just about anything we can find as we think it looks so slick. Just click on your Server location and the test begins, it’s fascinating to watch and only takes around half a minute, the peak we could get out from our 3G Broadband card was 1.2Mb/s can you beat that?
Microsoft Launch Xbox HD DVD micro-site
Showcasing their new HD DVD drive addition to the Xbox Console.
The micro-site features several images of this latest add on and Microsoft describes the HD DVD a 'killer app' for HDTV capabilities of the Xbox.
“You've experienced next-gen gaming on Xbox 360 … now experience next-gen DVD movies with HD DVD. The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player is the most affordable way to jump into the next generation of DVD technology, along with the flexibility to enter when you are ready. Just plug Xbox 360 HD DVD Player into Xbox 360 and enjoy the ultimate home theater experience with more clarity and detail than broadcast, cable or satellite HD. Feed your HDTV the high definition content it craves with HD DVD on Xbox 360!”
It goes on to explain why Microsoft chose the format over Blu-ray, including reasons such as manufacturing issues, less easy to damage, and reduced copy protection, better compression, hybrid disc capability, and the in-movie experience.
As we have reported before both Blu-ray and HD DVD have quite convincing arguments, but whether the Xbox HD DVD proves to be a ‘killer app’ will remains to be seen when its released later this year………
What next…….. a kitchen sink?

TV for people on the move
Archos AV700 the first handheld video recorder with digital TV receiver
The Archos portable video recorder has got a huge 7” screen and a freeview digital receiver in an envelope slightly bigger than a PSP.
To watch freeview channels, you simply connect the antenna to the handheld unit. The unit can also be used as a freeview tuner to your normal telly – just plug it in your fixed TV set.
Its 40GB of memory will store up to 35 hours of television and the battery life will allow you to watch 3.5hours of video playback. It’s also got the ability to store and play photos and music files.
It’s not the smallest of the media players on the market but its big screen makes it a more enjoyable experience and you can watch TV on the move rather than just recorded programs. Which is where we come to the downside of having to use the bulky external antenna while on the move … in a car it would not be a problem but it may be more embarrassing on a train!

Even better than the DSC T7 the DSC T9 is still sleek and small
Sony digital camera DSC-T9
The DCS-T9 might be slightly thicker than the T7, by about 6mm, but the T9 includes an optical image stabilisation which makes it easier to capture sharp shots when using the zoom. It’s also more sensitive during low-light shooting and produces richer and brighter colours.
The optical image stabilisation consists of two gyro-sensors. These detect movement (such as camera shake) and automatically calculate and apply the compensation needed to keep the picture crisp and sharp.
In addition, the battery life is longer and the picture quality is up to 6Mega Pixels rather than the 5.1 Mega Pixel of the DCS-T7.
We loved the DCS-T7 so we can’t wait to get hold of the DCS-T9 – Happy snapping.
