Reviews

  • Q Acoustics Q-TV2

    The Q Acoustics Q-TV2 is a worthwhile upgrade for any avid television watcher, and it doesn't take up any extra room.

  • Navman MY30

    Good looks, good price, but let down by overzealous school warnings and limited lane guidance.

  • Madden NFL 10

    A number of features make Madden NFL 10 a more realistic and enjoyable portrayal of football, but a few problems — both old and new — continue to trouble the series.

  • Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    The Half-Blood Prince is a lousy representation of the best-selling novel.

  • TomTom One 140

    Same, same but slightly better than before. Quicker responses and lane guidance justify slight premium over fourth-gen One.

  • 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.

  • TomTom XL 340

    Bedecked in black and furnished with IQ Routes, a new faster, snazzier interface and lane guidance, the XL 340 is identical to the One 140 except, you guessed it, it has a wider 4.3-inch screen.

  • Samsung BD-P3600

    The Samsung BD-P3600 is a huge leap ahead for stand-alone Blu-ray players, with blazing-fast operational speed, tons of features and excellent image quality.
