Reviews

  • Samsung Omnia Icon

    Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.

  • Palm Pre

    With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.

  • Apple Time Capsule (2009)

    Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, especially in the case of the 1TB version, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.

  • Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station (2009)

    The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking and works well for their homes. Savvy and Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their money.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

    Sony's upscale Atom-powered Lifestyle PC has the components of a cheaper machine, but the design of a more expensive one. The end result will be a useful travel PC for some and a conversation piece for others.

  • BlackBerry Storm 9500

    The Storm's clickable display has given us confidence in touchscreens we haven't enjoyed before now. It won't be for everyone, but those who master this system will be rewarded with an excellent smartphone experience.

  • Iomega StorCenter ix2 (1TB)

    The Iomega StorCenter ix2 is a two-drive NAS device that offers Bluetooth support but no remote access via the web.

  • Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred

    Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.
