Cooler Master Spawn Gaming Mouse, Perfect for Claw Grip
When it comes to gaming mice, people can be broken up into two major categories: palm grippers and finger grippers. What this means is palm grippers hold and use the mouse in the palm of their hands; whereas finger gripers use…their fingers! The basic design and shape of a mouse will influence which of these two groups will prefer it more (and while some companies such as Logitech do strike a balance allowing for both groups to find it comfortable, the G700 is the exception that proves the rule). Sadly, there is actually a third subset of finger gripers who use what is called a "claw grip". For these individuals a pure finger grip mouse is not much more comfortable than a mouse designed for a palm grip user! Speaking as mainly tiger claw mouse users we do know how hard it is to find an really comfortable mouse! In the past, companies such as Cyborg have gone for the customization route to make it work for both groups, but even here the RAT line of mice is not absolute perfection for tiger claw users (as it doesn't include enough inserts!). It is for this reason the upcoming Cooler Master Storm Spawn mouse is so darn exciting. This may not be the first mouse to cater almost exclusively to the tiger claw niche, but it is one of the first to include a bevy of really good gaming features such as on the fly DPI change (with a 3500 DPI laser sensor), 32KB on-board memory for heavy duty custom macros, 7 buttons with 5 million OMRON switches; and even a rubberized no slip exterior so it never moves unless you want it to move! Add in the fact that it looks like finger grip users will also find this a comfortable mouse (as many tiger claw mice do work well for finger gripers, even if the opposite is rarely true) and it sounds like CM has a real cult classic in the making on their hands. Expect the CM Storm Spawn to set you back about $50 USD.

Android Powered Archos 70 Joins Crowded eBook Reader Market
Archos will begin shipping a new Android device which will undercut every other 7 inch tablet available now. The Archos 70 tablet unassumingly sports the usual feature set of lower end tablets. Marketed as an eReader, the Archos 70 is an a capable tablet that ‘should’ come with all the abilities of any Android device. In the past, Archos has chosen to disable some of the Android features in order to focus users on their intended features; Music,Video and eBooks. These lockouts are usually quickly undone by the modding community. Bluetooth and Wireless G are enabled for connectivity as well as standard mini-USB. Storage is a respectable 4GB internal with expandability through full sized SDHC card slot. The processor and touch screen (800x480) are below par with the current higher end devices but they shave a very respectable amount of price off of it. Similar to the Archos 32, the most staggering aspect of the Archos 70 is the price. At $149 for pre-order from jr.com, this me-too tablet may give the $249 Nook Color a run for the money, literally.
