ViewSonic VX2268wm

The VX2268wm is a reasonably good entry for a TN screen; however, we're not sold on the 3D, which increases the price greatly. For the dollars involved, we'd rather ditch the 3D and buy a higher quality monitor.

Nokia N900

What's Maemo? Never mind. The N900 ditches the "internet tablet" moniker of its predecessors and stands out as one of the most impressively featured handheld devices of 2009.

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.
The Sims 3

The latest Sims game is also the greatest, striking a terrific balance between the fresh and the familiar.
Telstra EasyTouch Discovery

The EasyTouch Discovery is the perfect first phone for people who are not confident with mobile technology. Designed for ease of use, the Discovery has a few extra toys to play with once you've mastered the basics.
Nokia 6210 Navigator

While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.
Apple iPhone 3G

While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras, the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.
Archos 405

Though it lacks the features of the Archos 605, the 405 maintains the company's reputation for making high-quality portable video and music players.
iRiver Clix (2nd generation)

The 2nd gen iRiver Clix offers the perfect blend of hot design, desirable features, and stellar sound quality. If you're looking for an alternative to the iPod Nano, this device should top the list.
Beyonwiz DP-P1

The Beyonwiz DP-P1 is a twin-HD tuner digital video recorder with network capabilities allowing you to stream content such as photos and DivX movies from your PC.
