Hail metallica

Skullcandy is shedding its flab. Instead of the ear-muff-size head phones,the company has now come out with two noise isolating earbuds,the Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket and Skullcandy Titan. The Full Metal Jacket is specially designed for Blackberry and iPhones and can also be used with IPod and other MP3 players. The shiny,metal buds are ideal for bass lovers and cost Rs 3,559. The Titan earphones,on the other hand,come with precision-tuned drivers with laser-cut aluminum housing to produce a listening experience that seems nothing less than out of this world. The buds come with a nylon and mesh carrying case and foam ear tip. Rs 2,099.

Cutting edge
The ASUS NX90 notebook is the perfect blend of style with cutting-edge technology. With an eye-catching polished aluminum body and an 18.4” LED backlit screen,the NX90 can take centrestage in any décor. The state-of-the art features include speakers placed alongside the screen to ensure the sound wraps the users and dual touchpad to double usability. The notebook has a stupendous 8GB memory,an unprecedented 1TB of storage plus a very handy BluRay optical drive. But all this will weigh 4.4kg with the six-cell battery and cost you Rs 1,31,999.

Droid,the sequel
The Droid2 looks like the first Droid,but is almost twice as fast. The Droid2 runs on the newest version of the Android operating system installed,2.2,also called “Froyo,” which offers a pile of new features. Chief among them is the ability to view Flash video and animation,which is limited on iPhones and some other smartphones. It can also be used as a Wi-Fi hot spot,which means you can connect your computer — up to five devices,actually — to the Internet. If you prefer to use the keyboard,Motorola did away with the largish navigation control from the first Droid,leaving room to space out the keys for less cramped typing. If you have an original Droid,you can instantly upgrade it by adding 2.2,now available for it and the HTC EVO.
