Reviews

Kodak Zx1

Kodak's rugged portable video camera will appeal to outdoor shooters, once they get over the unit's strange controls.
JVC Everio GZ-HD6

In isolation the HD6 is a good camera, however, on almost every turn it is outpointed by its Sony counterpart, the HDR-SR12.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.
Dell Latitude E6500

The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.
HTC Shift

HTC's Shift is yet another UMPC — and another white elephant to add to the pile.
Motorola Hiptop Slide

The Hiptop Slide is social networking heaven paired with average standard phone features. This is one for the kids.
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.
Canon HR10

Though the Canon HR10 is a decent camcorder, there are better choices for the same money because format performance and compatibility issues make it hard to recommend a DVD-based AVCHD model.
