Reviews

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman

    This is a solid phone, aside from its lack of a real headphone socket. But if you're expecting anything radically new, you might want to wait a little while for Sony Ericsson to start innovating before you upgrade.

  • Creative Zen X-Fi 16GB

    The Creative Zen X-Fi is finally here, and while it fits in the pocket and sound quality is excellent, the iPod Touch is still a superior product.

  • Creative MuVo T200 (4GB)

    It's tough trying to live up to your older sibling. Just ask Creative's MuVo T200, which struggles to match the company's Zen Stone on every spec.

  • Apple Final Cut Studio 2

    Final Cut Studio 2 is a solid value and worthy upgrade for serious film editors who work on Macs. However, hobbyists should consider simpler software.

  • Samsung YP-K3 (2GB)

    Samsung sets its sights on "slick" with its latest flash MP3 player, an understated beauty that hopes to tame the iPod beast.

  • Apple PowerBook G4 (17-inch; 1.67GHz)

    The 17-inch PowerBook G4 delivers a competitive set of features, a great software package, good battery life, and style in spades, but you can find plenty of less expensive options out there.

  • MPIO HD200 (5GB)

    The HD200 is a slightly above-average MP3 player that does well delivering compelling audio, though poor battery life is the deal breaker in this case.
