Microsoft Windows 7 (Professional)

Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.
Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
Synology DS209

The Synology DS209 is an excellent little unit, with a more complex than necessary set up routine. Still for those looking for a highly featured, high performing NAS with an easy to use and flashy menu, it's certainly a compelling choice.
Verbatim Rapier V1

Verbatim's Rapier V1 is an interesting beast. If it can bring up the responsiveness of the mouse buttons and make its powerful software more polished and easy to use, then it could be on to a winner for its next revision.
Microsoft SideWinder X8

Microsoft's SideWinder X8 is a marked improvement to the series, but there's more work to do yet, especially when it comes to the shape.

JVC's CMOS-based Everio GZ-HD40 finally offers AVCHD recording, but a few shortcomings keep us from giving it a full recommendation.
Epson Stylus Photo TX800FW

The Epson TX800FW produces impressive colour prints, photos and text documents, and it outpaces the competition in almost all of our speed tests. We're impressed by its performance, but hesitate to recommend this printer based on the poor build quality and error-prone software.
Epson Stylus Photo TX700W

Though the TX700 sports one of the most attractive cases we've seen in some time, the cost of consumables does unfortunately let this speedy performer down.
