ALEX VOCHIN
Alex is a true "gadget-holic". He's been with Softpedia for two and a half years, working as a technology and gadgets editor, watching (and reporting) as the world's tech and consumer electronics evolve. He considers himself lucky to be able to combine both work and hobbies (Internet, trying out and testing new toys and electronics).
Personal motto: "There is no spoon" - I've loved this idea since first seeing the movie, simply because I do believe that anyone can and should think "out of the box", have a larger perspective on things.

Although Sony's Bravia Internet Video Link service has gone pretty much under the radar, probably in order not to pose too much of a threat to Sony's Blu-ray format, it seems that the Japanese company is seriously considering pushing the field of Internet downloads as well.

Over the course of 2008, the storage capacities attained by USB flash drives have reached some values nobody even thought possible a few years ago, with 16 and 32 GB becoming mainstream numbers rather than highly expensive oddities.

The Sansa Clip has been around for quite a long time now, but, despite its success, it somehow lacked the capacity to fight against some of the other ultra-portable players around, the main reason being the relatively limited amount of available memory.

Everyone's talking about upscaling nowadays as if it were the new “Mesiah” of consumer electronics. While the truth is that, albeit good, upscaling will never achieve the same level of image quality as “genuine” HD content (such as the one provided by Blu-ray discs), quite a lot of compan... |
