Reviews

  • 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.

  • James Bond: Quantum of Solace

    Quantum of Solace will leave you shaken and stirred, but not entirely satisfied.

  • Maxon Visimax Projector

    Despite the promise of its tiny size, the Maxon Visimax projector is little more than a gimmick, and an expensive one at that.

  • Far Cry 2

    Although you can't say the same for the plot, Far Cry 2's first-person action squeezes every last drop of potential out of the unique African setting.

  • Navigon 2150max

    This is a great GPS if you have a piano black fetish. For the rest of us, it's just OK. Its good points (Aussie-capable text-to-speech, junction view, extended lane info) are balanced out by an inconsistent interface and unfriendly windshield mount.
