Logitech Harmony 1100i

Stylish but spartan, the Logitech Harmony 1100i is a luxurious tablet-style universal remote, and while a step up from the previous model it has its disadvantages.
Samsung CLP-315W

The Samsung CLP-315W is a fancy looking wireless laser printer with a clean design and small footprint, but the output quality is unacceptable and the blisteringly slow speeds will have you searching for other options.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

Adobe Acrobat 9 document-creation software is adding dynamic features such as integration of animation, dynamic maps, 256-bit encryption, and improved forms. We've been playing with the beta edition of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
Samsung CLX-2160 AIO

Samsung's cute little colour MFP wins points with us for its compact style, although otherwise it's a deeply average printer.
Sony Ericsson Z310i

Sony Ericsson's Z310i is an entry-level mobile phone offering a combination of stylish good looks, ease of use and decent functionality.
Guitar Hero II

The Guitar Hero series makes a fantastic debut on the Xbox 360 in Guitar Hero II, adding a bunch of new content and even tweaking a few small things that weren't so great about the PS2 version.
Logitech Harmony 1000i

The swanky Logitech Harmony 1000i can be programmed by the average consumer, which saves the cost of hiring a home installer to do it.
Samsung CLP-300

Less than stellar print quality and glacial colour printing mar this otherwise admirable stab at shrinking the colour laser printer and making them more user friendly.
