Reviews

Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.
Creative Zen Stone

Creative's pebble-like Zen Stone takes on the iPod Shuffle. It has a lower price and better sound but lacks the brand aura and tactility of the Shuffle.
ASUS W5Fe

Well built and mostly comfortable to use. Whether you'll find SideShow, is a matter of individual taste. If so, it's the perfect Vista laptop; if not, there are cheaper and better alternatives.
Samsung YP-K5 (4GB)

The Samsung YP-K5 is a unique MP3 player with a fun interface and great sound quality; it may be bulky around the middle, but it's an excellent choice if you want to share your tunes quickly and easily.
Dell XPS M2010

A striking feat of engineering that's sure to garner attention in a stylish home or on a multimedia-intensive sales call, the Dell XPS M2010 is simply too expensive and impractical to be anything more than a curio for the rest of us.
Apple MacBook (2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.
Canon XL H1

Canon's semipro high-definition XL H1 video camera is a winner for event, reality, ENG and documentary shooters, but its price is high.
Pentax Optio S55

The Pentax Optio S55 is an ultracompact snapshot camera that offers useful help features and decent photo quality.
