Garmin Nuvi 5000
It might be perfect for truck drivers, but the 5.2-inch Garmin 5000 is a bit too big for us car-bound road denizens. And the lack of Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance and junction view condemns it to also-ran status.
-
Forza Motorsport 3
The next instalment, coming in October, offers pumped up visuals, error prone AI drivers and a rewind feature to undo nasty little incidents, like dates with the Armco.
-
Brother MFC-990CW
The Brother MFC-990CW is a speedy, fully capable all-in-one device that earns our recommendation for an individual or a family that will make use of its touchscreen and telephone/answering machine.
-
Lenovo ThinkPad T400
Lenovo's ThinkPad T400 is another fine entry into its portfolio, but be prepared to spend extra to get the features you need.
-
Samsung Omnia Icon
Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
-
BlackBerry Curve 8520
With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.
-
LG GM730
The GM730's feature set makes it feel like it belongs in 2008. Unless you really like the design, there are much better WiMo phones out there to choose from.

Brother DCP-165C Multifunction Printer
We've tested plenty of printers at CNET, but very few have frustrated us as much as the Brother DCP-165C multifunction has. The counter-intuitive set-up, bland design, deplorable print quality and crawling output speeds earn this printer a double thumbs down.
-
Nokia E75
Nokia's E75 looks the part and mostly performs well too, but its single day battery life is a major let-down when compared to last year's E-Series offerings.
-
The Godfather II
Even if it were finished, this movie-inspired action game wouldn't be deserving of its prestigious licence.
-
HP TouchSmart tx2 (1015AU)
HP's TouchSmart tx2 is its next-generation tablet PC, stuck in last generation's body.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
After spending a few weeks working with a beta version, we've concluded that there's just enough that's better in the CS4 updates to Photoshop that many people will find themselves sighing, biting the bullet, and upgrading.

Chrome (beta)
Google has rethought the Internet browser — some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel — but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.

HP Officejet J6480
The Officejet J6480 is Hewlett-Packard's newest all-in-one printer with a host of features designed to appeal to small-to-midsize businesses that want a low-cost, feature-rich device capable of handling projects across the board. The price and features set make the J6480 one of our favourite do-it-all devices.

Toshiba Qosmio G40
Like its predecessor, the Qosmio G30, Toshiba's flagship multimedia desktop replacement offers a complete suite of entertainment features. The G40 is slightly slimmer and has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.
-
HTC Touch
While not a iPhone killer, the HTC Touch represents good value for money. If you can do without 3G support or a high-res camera, then the Touch will offer most features you'd require from a smartphone.
-
Windows Live Hotmail
Drag-and-drop message organisation and a built-in MP3 player are among the notable new features to this radical overhaul of Hotmail.
-
Apple Final Cut Studio 2
Final Cut Studio 2 is a solid value and worthy upgrade for serious film editors who work on Macs. However, hobbyists should consider simpler software.
-
Samsung E900
You'll need to retrain your thumb to operate the E900, which features touch-activated keys. The phone has some cool features, but you may find yourself accidentally hanging up on people or deleting half-composed texts.
-
Norton PartitionMagic 8
If you need to partition your live hard drive, Norton PartitionMagic 8 is still the application to beat.
