Based on Hong Kong, Yidsun has launched a new range of Bluetooth accessories that should cater for those looking for some accessories for their mobile phone. First up we have the MP series which is comprised of small and light weight Bluetooth headsets, all of which has over 100h standby time and 8h talk time. They weigh around 10g and have a 10m range and are compatible with just about all Bluetooth phones on the market as they support all Bluetooth standards up to 2.0.

Next up we have the SP series which is a light weight Bluetooth stereo headset range which is compatible with all A2DP Bluetooth devices and it can be used with your MP3 player with an optional adapter. You can also use them as a Bluetooth headset with your phone of course and with up to 8h talk time or 6h music streaming they should be good enough even for a long commute. The standby time is rated at up to 60h and again these ones have a 10m range. The headphones have interchangeable rubber ear pieces which come in three sizes to fit different ear sizes.

We paid a visit to Asus' head office in Taipei on Friday and we got some exclusive pictures of their upcoming Maximus Extreme X38 board and some information about it and some of their other X38 products. There will be two different Maximus board in the R.O.G. family, the Extreme which we're looking at here and the Formula. Asus has already done this kind of thing once before with its P35 R.O.G. boards, the Blitz Extreme and the Blitz Formula.

Some images of Nvidia's upcoming 780i board have made their way online and Chinese language site Expreview has the goods. According to the site, the board uses the 680i chipset as well as the BR04 chip which is also known as N200. You can take a look at the board below and we're sure you'll agree with us when we say it looks similar to the 680i boards.

Club 3D has announced the availability of its HD2900 GT Heatpipe graphics card and the specs aren't far off from what we reported on here. The specifications don't differ significantly from what we already knew and the Club 3D card looks very much like a reference card with a sticker on it. None the less, the Radeon HD2900 GT is here.

As we mentioned, the GPU is clocked at 600MHz and it's based on the ATI R600 GPU. It has 240 stream processors and a 256-bit memory interface. It's of course a 256MB card and the GDDR3 memory is again as we told you earlier, clocked at 800MHz or 1,600MHz effectively.

Gateway has announced a new display on a press event in the US today and the reason we're telling you about it is because it's massive. The 30-inch ExtremeHD monitor as gateway calls it has a native resolution of 2,560x1,600, or 1600p as Gateway likes to call it.

It's unlikely that this beast will ever be available outside of the US, but hopefully Gateway will allow the rest of us to at least dribble in front of one. It's got a multitude of inputs which consists of a D-sub, DVI, HMDI, component video, composite and S-Video.

We've had confirmed information that the Radeon HD 2900 GT will arrive some time in mid October. However, we're sure you'd rather want to know the specs of the 2900 GT and we've got it all right here for you. As you might already have heard, the 2900 GT will have 256MB of memory, while the 2900 XT and Pro comes with 512MB or 1GB depending on model.

They all share the same GPU and the 2900 GT is actually clocked at the same 600MHz core speed as the 2900 Pro. The memory is also clocked at 1.6GHz and the card is using 256-bit GDDR3 memory as suspected. This is very similar to what ATI has done in the past with lower end products based on the same GPU as higher-end cards.

Our friend Coolaler has scored some pictures of an upcoming RV670 based graphics card over at his forum and it looks like MSI is the first ones to drop the ball. Although we doubt it'll be called the MSI RX2600XTX, but we could be wrong. If so, the RV670 will replace the current Radeon HD 2600 XT or at least become the XTX version, which is a highly unusual move.

The card itself is the size of a Radeon HD 2900 XT, but it has a single slot cooler and some funky copper heatsink cooler over the power regulation part at the rear of the card. It doesn't really look like a low noise cooler, but hopefully the card won't get too hot and thus the fan won't need to spin at full speed. This reference card features a 6-pin PCI-Express type power connector, however we wouldn't expect that this is needed on PCI Express 2.0 boards, since the RV670 supports PCI Express 2.0.

Toshiba has launched two new models in its Satellite X205 series, the SLi1 and SLi3. The names are a bit odd considering both models feature two graphics cards, namely dual GeForce 8600M GT's. Each GPU seems to have 512MB of graphics memory, plus 255MB of TurboCache, but it's not quite clear from the specifications on the site and it could well be 512MB in total.

The two models differ in terms of hardware spec, with the SLi1 featuring a Core 2 Duo T7250 CPU clocked at 2GHz with 4MB of L2 cache. The SLi3 on the other hand features a Core 2 Duo T7500 which is clocked at 2.2GHz, but has the same 4MB of L2 cache. Both CPU's operate on an 800MHz bus speed and both machines come with 2GB of DDR2-5300 memory.

Information about the upcoming C750 from Dopod, now a part of HTC, has made its way online and it looks like a rather clever slider. Our favorite feature has to be the 2.6-inch 480x640 display, as it's about time Windows Mobile devices get an upgrade from the pesky 240x320 displays that so many of them rely upon. It's just a shame that it's still stuck on 65,000 colours, but we guess you can't have it all at once.

It seems like the C750 has been given another new feature as well, as it has a QWERTY keyboard in the style of the Blackberry Pearl or the Sony Ericsson M600i. We don't know how it works and it's not easy to tell from the pictures either.

The folks over at Techpowerup have just spotted what is believed to be the first review of AMD's new HD 2900 Pro graphics card, this being HIS's offering.

The website which reviewed it (PCLab) are based in Poland, but the graphs with benchmark comparison results speak for themselves. This is going to be a bigtime bang for buck card me thinks!
