iXpand 3G

Despite its stylish iPhone-like design, the iXpand 3G is best avoided due to its sub-par battery performance.
Sharp LC52LE700X

In the TV world, big and green aren't mutually exclusive terms any more, with this Sharp 52-inch LED TV earning a seven-star energy rating.
Billion BiPAC 7404VNPX

The 7404VNPX has pretty much every feature you could ever wish for in a modem router — except stability.
INQ Chat 3G

The INQ Chat 3G takes the popular, inexpensive INQ1 and slaps a full QWERTY keyboard on top. It's an addition as delicious as gravy on a pile of mashed potatoes, but the Chat 3G doesn't live up to the BlackBerry devices that it emulates.
Sharp LC32D77X

The Sharp LC32D77X is quite an exceptional 32-inch television, it's best with 1080p content but also plays standard-definition content quite well.
LG Watch Phone GD910

The GD910 certainly has wow-factor. It looks like a watch but performs well as a mobile phone cum messenger. Sadly, the high price really dents the appeal of this wonderful gadget.
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.
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.
