Otterbox is excited to announce their brand new Otterbox 1920 rugged case for the Treo 650/700.

I have always loved Otterbox Cases and I am sure the 1920 will be just as good as all their others!

Otter Products, LLC. releases the OtterBox 1920 case, a rugged, polycarbonate case that protects Palm® Treo™ 650 and Treo 700 series smartphones from water, dust and dirt. The casing completely seals the device from elements while providing access to keypad, touch screen, volume and program buttons. This protection also saves customers from having to replace or repair their damaged units from hostile work environments.

Check out the 1920 video here.

Just in time as we are completing our review on the SteelSound 5Hv2, SteelSound has two more brand new headsets that will be coming to the market in December. If you like the looks of the 5Hv2, but do not want to spend that much money, Steel has you covered with the 3H and 4H headsets.

From Steel's Press Release:

The two new products are the spiritual successors to the award-winning SteelSound 5H v2, one of the most popular gaming headsets on the planet. Where the SteelSound 5H v2 is targeted at FPS-gamers and optimized for in-game sound frequencies found in Counter-Strike and other popular First Person Shooters, the two new headsets have been optimized for a more all-round gaming experience. SteelSound 4H has been optimized for a multitude of game defining acoustics found in popular FPS and RTS games, while SteelSound 3H has been designed to enhance games that combine events and background music.

Both headset  feature the trademark SteelSound retractable microphone system. The retractable microphone is practically invisible when not in use and features a microphone boom covered in high quality transparent plastic to ensure long-lasting durability. The headsets are priced very aggressively and offer aspiring competitive gamers a great entry point into the world of professional gaming gear.

Solution…

The Proporta USB Mobile Device Charger allows you to charge any device, whether it be your PDA, mobile phone or MP3 player when you are nowhere near a wall socket, laptop or PC.

 After our announcement of the StealSound 5H v2 a few weeks ago, we are now happy to let our readers know that a review of the SteelSound 5H will be coming very soon to TechIslands.com!

Come back soon to check out the review.

 

SteelSound 5H v2 is an optimized version of the original SteelSound 5H headset. The new headset features improved microphone quality, a longer microphone cord, bigger (and more comfortable) ear cushions, additional frame pressure and numerous other technical design improvements.

Features

Custom-engineered soundscape designed specifically to enhance performance and immersion in gaming. This headset was developed and optimized for in-game sound frequencies, which makes in-game sounds like footsteps, alerts and gunfire especially clear. You will be able to hear and pinpoint the location of your opponents, often before they hear you.

Full-size headphones gently fit around the ears and reduce background noise, while providing maximum wearing comfort.

Bringing the headset with you has never been easier or safer. The SteelSound 5H v2 can be easily dismantled into 3 separate parts, which makes transportation a breeze. The pieces will easily fit into a bag or a carrying case.

SteelSound 5H v2 also features a pull-out microphone system. The retractable microphone is practically invisible when not in use. The microphone cord is covered in high quality transparent plastic to ensure long-lasting durability.
