Verizon Wireless and Motorola announced the launch of the new Motorola A455 Rival, a compact QWERTY messaging phone that supports an array of Verizon’s value added services, including GPS navigation, Visual Voicemail, V CAST Music and both personal and corporate email. The device will definitely appeal to LG Rumor/Samsung Rant fans, but has a smaller form factor and a compact but well laid out 4-row QWERTY keyboard that worked extremely well. The keyboard even has a dual-mode backlight system that lights the numbers and symbols in green when the function key is activated

EVGA has announced that its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition graphics card, first mentioned in April, is now available for Mac Pro users looking for blazing fast graphics performance—or just for someone who wants to use two 30″ Cinema Displays without using up extra card slots or the widely lambasted Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. The GTX 285 features 240 second-gen NVIDIA Unified Architecture processing cores—compare that to the GT 120′s scant 32—running at 648MHz.

Eye-Fi has added a fifth member to its product matrix, the Pro which supports RAW format uploads, direct computer transfer: Eye-Fi’s list of options is getting a little longer than makes sense for a simple product, but the distinction between Pro and the others is clear. If you need to upload anything but JPEGs, you need the Pro card (street $150, 4 GB, SDHD). Maybe professionals and plenty of amateur photographers prefer the loosely-defined RAW format (not a standard) in which the quirks of the image sensors aren’t smoothed out.

The great thing about Guitar Hero and Rock Band packages is that they come in OMG-XBOX-HUGE packages. Why is that a great thing? Because boxes that big cost retailers money to store, which means that, with new rhythm games coming by the end of the year, it costs more to keep them around than it does to sell them at a huge discount.

When I blogged last week about the mind-numbing task of manually scanning through log files , I was recalling a time not so long ago when such a thing was imaginable. But if your job really is to do that…if you are actually sitting there trying to make sense of the event logs by paging through those screens…or, on a linux system, perhaps running “tail -f logfile” while you watch for errors…you need to stop that madness

Nokia 6790 , codenamed Mako, comes to the market with a sliding QWERTY keypad and with 3G capabilities, and it seems that it will be heading towards AT&T’s lineup in a slightly different design than what anyone would expect from a Nokia mobile phone. Even so, there are a lot of features that remind us of any other handset coming from the manufacturer. Interestingly enough, it seems that the new Nokia Mako will not come to the market as a high-end device, as one would expect, given its looks, but, BGR says, it rather fits in line with mobile phones like the Samsung Propel, LG Xenon and Pantec Matrix
