Reviews

  • Uniden BTSC1500

    It tries to pack a few too many features on to the one button, but otherwise the BTSC1500 makes for a good in-car companion.

  • Sony Ericsson HCB-105

    If you never plan to share it and will never use it in a loud vehicle, the HCB-105 is a good sounding, simple to use choice. Everyone else should look elsewhere.

  • Mophie Juice Pack Air

    It costs a pretty penny, but for people who need more juice in their iPhone, the Juice Pack Air is worth every cent.

  • Philips DC350 iPod Dock

    The DC350 features a wide-range of connectivity options, but is far too expensive for the low quality sound it produces.

  • Bose SoundDock 10

    While it's expensive and isn't loaded with features, the Bose SoundDock 10 is classy looking and sounds excellent for a compact iPod/iPhone speaker.

  • Edimax nLite 3G-6200n 3G Broadband Router

    Edimax's nLite 3G-capable router might sucker you in with a bargain price point, but you'll pay a hefty frustration price along the way.

  • Nokia BH-905

    In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.

  • Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

    Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
