McAfee Total Protection 2010

McAfee Total Protection 2010 hits many of the right notes. It's easy to use and it's effective, but years of below-average releases will likely leave many users unwilling to give it a try.
Pioneer AVIC-F310BT

It's far from perfect (scary warnings, difficult controls, occasional glitches), but sound quality, Bluetooth, device support and its aggressive pricing pushes it over the line. Just.
Nikon Coolpix P100

There's a lot to like about the Nikon Coolpix P100, but you'll need to keep your photo quality expectations in check to really enjoy it.
McAfee Internet Security 2010

McAfee has put considerable effort into its new user interface, but also made its 2010 security programs far better in the process.
Sony Alpha DSLR-A550

If you're a Live View-oriented shooter who doesn't care about colour accuracy, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A550's good performance and decent noise profile make it attractive for the money.
Epson Stylus Office TX610FW

The Epson Stylus Office TX610FW meets the needs of businesses and home-offices shopping for a competent, dependable all-in-one device. Whether it's printing, faxing, copying or scanning, this Epson is a cut above the competition.
Apple Time Capsule (2TB, Late 2009)

The Apple Time Capsule is a convenient and simple wireless router and NAS server combo for your home. Unfortunately, you can find better deals on devices that offer greater storage space and many more features for the price.
Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

There's a lot to like about the F10BT (large screen, sound quality), but the host of quibbles (funny text-to-speech, annoying warnings, missing voice recognition) are glaring on a top-of-the-range model.
