Asus, Acer, HTC or BenQ: Taiwan is well-known as a significant player in the global electronics industry, but it’s safe to say the Taiwanese web landscape is still a black box for many of us. Taiwan ranks 10th in Asia in terms of Internet population, with around 15 million people currently online. Add to this an online ad market that grew by 14.9% to $208 million in 2009, and you have a fairly… → Read More

I’d rather listen to nails on a chalkboard all day than review a digital picture frame. What’s the big deal with these things? It’s probably something I’d buy for my parents. That’s how I used to feel about digital picture frames until I got my mitts on the 7-inch Kaleido R7 from Ipevo. The Wi-Fi-enabled frame not only streams my personal photos from my Mac/PC, but I can also stream… → Read More
Sorry about the delay in announcing the winner for the Ipevo Skype phone, but I’ve been a little preoccupied with GDC today. So, without further ado, the CG staff would like to congratulate Robert Johnston. Watch your inbox, Robert. Thanks to everyone for entering and we’ll be sure to run more contests like this in the future. → Read More
Short Version: If you’re looking for an alternative to using your computer’s built-in mic and speakers or a wired headset for use with Skype then Ipevo’s handset could be right for you. It has one simple purpose and works quite well. Battery life is fairly good and call quality varies based on signal strength. Compared to competitors like Belkin, the Wi-Fi Phone for Skype performs admirably at a… → Read More
Ipevo’s 7-inch digital frame, which we first told you about in October, is now shipping for $200. The Kaleido R7 features a swiveling mount for landscape and portrait viewing, 512MB of internal memory, an SD memory card slot, USB port and widget functionality.

We first saw Ipevo’s Wi-Fi phone for Skype back in October and today they’ve announced its availability. Sure, Belkin and Netgear have had their respective Wi-Fi Skype phones out for a smidge longer, but Ipevo’s is $50 cheaper with the same functionality. It has a backlit keyboard and a 1.8-inch LCD. → Read More
Here we have yet another digital photo frame. It seems like it is raining photo frames at CES. You can find one on almost every corner. This time we’ve got one with iPhone and WinMo syncing. It’s called the Kaleido R7 from IPEVO and it does have a few things going for it. → Read More
The promise of VoIP has a tendency to sometimes fall short when it comes to simplicity. After all, a VoIP solution is supposed to replace the standard landline telephone — one of the simplest communication devices of all time. Ever seen an old person work a landline? They rock those things, no sweat. IPEVO’s ST4RT (pronounced “Start”) attempts to blend the simplicity of an old school… → Read More
When it comes to buying a webcam, there seems to be two distinct product groupings. On the one end, you have inexpensive cameras that sell for between $20 and $50. These cameras often feature relatively low resolutions like 320×240 or 640×480 and are relatively simple to operate — you stick the camera on top of your monitor, fire up AIM, Windows Live Messenger, or Skype and then… → Read More
