Reviews

Despite its stylish iPhone-like design, the iXpand 3G is best avoided due to its sub-par battery performance.
Grundig DAB+ Micro System

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (iPhone)

The success of a GTA port for the iPhone was always going to rest on the implementation of good controls. Rockstar has quite a ways to go before it masters this aspect on the iPhone platform.
Sony Walkman B Series (NWZ-B143F)

It has none of the elegance of the iPod Shuffle, but it's cheaper and has a built-in screen, FM radio and recording capabilities. Minor concerns aside, the NWZ-B142F is a good performer with an attractive price tag.
Apple Time Capsule (2TB, Late 2009)

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

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 Windows users will find many better value alternatives.
Apple Mac Mini (Late 2009)

If you demand a small, relatively affordable Mac, the Mac Mini is your only option. Otherwise, you can find Windows-based small form factor desktops that offer more interesting features with better value.
