| Evolio Neura Android Tablet, NOT the Most Powerful Posted: 14 Jul 2011 10:30 AM PDT Check out this new tablet from a company called Evolio dubbed the Neura. The tablet runs the Android operating system and someone was a bit boastful with the page for the tablet. The page claims that the Neura is the most powerful Android tablet. All I see is the same old basic hardware that almost all the tablets out there use right now.

| Awesome Chrome Niko Camera Bag Surfaces Posted: 14 Jul 2011 10:09 AM PDT I use a Nikon D80 DSLR when I travel and I have a very nice camera bag to keep the thing safe in transit. The only thing that bothers me about my camera bag is that it has no room for the charger or another battery let alone a pen or anything else inside. If you travel with a DSLR and want a nice bag with room for the camera and lenses along with more of your junk, the Chrome Niko might be perfect.
