Reviews

Altec Lansing Orbit iM237

We like the new and improved version of Altec Lansing's portable single speaker, the Orbit MP3, better than the previous model, but it costs a bit more.
Soundmatters foxLmb Bluetooth Speakers

We're not sure this is the "audiophile's"' speaker system the packaging claims it to be, but for the money these make an excellent transportable alternative to bulkier systems.
Life! LXPI (4GB)

The first player from Australian brand Life! has a laundry list of features, but video sync issues and teeny touchscreen controls hold it back.
Lowepro Fastpack 250

Although it's a solid backpack for toting some pro gear and a large laptop, the Lowepro Fastpack 250's design still has a few rough edges.

Archos 705 Wi-Fi

The Archos 705 WiFi is the biggest, baddest PVP on the market. What you get in screen size, however, you pay for in portability and picture quality.
Fujitsu LifeBook U1010

The Fujitsu U1010 is a cute and fun little gadget, but a low battery life and awkward interface temper our enthusiasm.

While a decent phone in its own right, what makes the A701 stand out is what the Next G service brings to the mix, such as streaming video content and a high-speed connection to the Internet.

Who needs an OS?

I think it's great that PCs keep getting faster. Who doesn't? But here's the thing: unless you're a gamer, the only time you'll really notice a modern PC's speed is when you start it up.
