Reviews

Philips DC350 iPod Dock

The DC350 features a wide-range of connectivity options, but is far too expensive for the low quality sound it produces.
Bose SoundDock 10

While it's expensive and isn't loaded with features, the Bose SoundDock 10 is classy looking and sounds excellent for a compact iPod/iPhone speaker.
Nokia BH-905

In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.
Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
Canon Selphy CP780

It's pinker than Princess Peach's tutu, but the CP780 is more than just the apple in Mario's eye, it's a dye-sublimation printer from Canon that can print 4x6-inch photos from a number of memory cards or directly connected to a camera or a computer.
Sony Ericsson HBH-IV840

The HBH-IV840 works well and looks fantastic doing it, but its price tag is outrageous for a headset with basic features.
Nokia BH-804

Comfortable, attractive and with good sound quality, the Nokia BH-804 is a great little headset if you're willing to pay the price.
BlueAnt S1 Headset

For the price, the BlueAnt S1 is an excellent Bluetooth speakerphone with great features and performance.
