Reviews

  • Microsoft Security Essentials

    Microsoft Security Essentials is recommended for those who want something to set and ignore, but users who want more robust configuration choices or don't want to contribute to the cloud should look elsewhere.

  • Norton Internet Security 2010

    Norton Internet Security 2010 builds on the immense progress it made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.

  • Palm Centro

    Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.

  • HP Compaq 6720s

    The 6720s is a budget business notebook that could fit the bill if you don't need serious CPU or graphics power, and are likely to spend most of your time in the office rather than on the road.

  • BlackBerry 7100v

    Vodafone's BlackBerry 7100v is a fair mobile email device so long as you don't need to handle graphics, large spreadsheets or complex documents. But as a handheld/phone combo it's eclipsed by more capable Palm OS- and Windows Mobile-based offerings.

  • Google Desktop Search Beta

    Google has joined the burgeoning desktop search market with a public beta. We've had a day or so to play with it -- here's our initial report.

  • AOL AIM 5.5

    Although it offers more business-oriented features than any other IM we reviewed, AIM 5.5 will still appeal mostly to home users.

  • MSN Messenger 6.2

    Intrusive registration process and fee-based add-ons keep us from warming up to this instant messenger.

  • Inside Intel's Napa platform

    Intel's latest mobile platform, now officially christened Centrino Duo, introduces the Core Duo (Yonah) chip with dual CPU cores. This and other developments should deliver useful -- if not revolutionary -- increases in notebook performance and battery life.
