If you're concerned about keeping both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, the Magellan Maestro 4700 makes an excellent choice in a portable GPS navigation device. Magellan has done their homework in allowing for true hands-free operation, ...

Palm's latest WebOS smartphone, the sprightly Pixi, is a slimmed-down version of the Palm Pre.

Great features in WebOS; cute, pocketable hardware design

Can be slow to open/close apps; no Wi-Fi

The first thing you'll notice about the Pixi is how light it is. In fact, when I first picked it up, I had to check whether it had the battery installed. Weighing a scant 3.3 ounces, the Pixi feels really nice in the hand thanks to its rubberized back ...

Sony's Handycam HDR-XR520V is a monster when it comes to storage capacity, with a 240GB hard drive.

Massive storage capacity, good manual control placement, optical viewfinder

Tricky user interface, heavy, short battery life, unremarkable HD video performance

In the hand, the HDR-XR520V looks and feels pretty portly, too, although its bulk makes it easy to hold. Strangely, its zoom toggle button is narrower and trickier to access comfortably than the HDR-CX520V, and you'll find your fingers and thumbs ...

If you're in the market for a full-featured personal navigation device, the nuvi 755T makes an excellent choice. It's surprisingly small and lightweight, yet has an large, very readable display. It has most of the features you're likely to need, and ...

4.3 inch WQVGA LCD screen, 480 x 272 pixel resolution, Easy to use touchscreen interface, Free lifetime access to traffic updates

If you're looking for an inexpensive, no-frills weatherproof handheld GPS unit, the Geko 301 makes an excellent choice. It has all the features you really need for basic navigation, and its light weight and small size make it very portable. The unit ...

The Samsung Behold II boasts a vibrant AMOLED capacitive touch screen. The smartphone includes more-robust multimedia capabilities, and its 5-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support are all included

The phone is expensive, especially compared with the competition. The TouchWiz interface isn't all that useful. Runs Android 1.5

Of all the Android devices, the Samsung Behold II offers some of the most powerful multimedia features, but its high price tag is a major turn off.

Looking for a stylish flip phone that won't break the bank? Sony Ericsson has you covered with the TM717 Equinox, a 3G phone with a solid array of features for just $49.99 (with a two-year contract and after rebates). The Equinox is a successor to the ...

Sharp looks. Good call quality and battery life. Excellent video playback

Proprietary headphone jack and memory card slot. Ugly user interface

The Sony Ericsson Equinox is a good choice for T-Mobile subscribers who don't need a QWERTY keyboard. We're getting really tired of Sony's proprietary ports, though.

Acer's compact, 2.7-pound P3250 is attractively priced in the ultraportable projectors market. Luckily, you also get excellent image quality.

Excellent color quality; HDMI support

Skimpy warranty; weak built-in speaker; limited to 1024 by 768 resolution

The P3250's other economic advantage is the cost of its 3000-hour replacement lamp, which is '40. Replacement lamps for other projectors are often priced well over ll need to set your laptop at the same resolution to obtain the best image sharpness ...

Amazingly powerful for a 15-inch laptop; highly configurable; adds 16:9 display

Configuration options can get expensive; far from portable

Alienware's big and bulky 15-inch M15x pulls out most of the stops, thanks to a superpowered CPU.

If you're in the market for a reasonably priced LCD HDTV, the TC-L32X1 makes a very good choice. It has most of the features you need, even for a home theater setup, and image quality and response time are very good. The 3 HDMI inputs provide for ...

32 inch 720p LCD HDTV, VIERA Link, Built-in image viewer with SD slot, Included iPod dock

The TV features the VIERA Tools menu, which has convenient icons for...

As I worked my way down the list of parts, everything about the HP Envy 15 ($1,800 direct) seemed as if it were a dream come true. An Intel Mobile Core i7 processor, 6GB of DDR3 memory, and midrange ATI graphics card are parts that you would find in ...

Aluminum metals are a sight to behold. Lightweight. Dreamy parts like an Intel Core i7 processor and 6GB of memory. Excellent graphics card. Awesome resolution. Fast hard drive. Excellent audio system

Heat can be felt throughout the laptop. No backlit keyboard option. Six-cell battery alone doesn't deliver enough juice. Expensive

Every component that powers the Envy 15 is what performance dreams are made of, but heat, unfortunately, is an aggravating side effect.

The Samsung Mythic is slim and lightweight phone, and you can customize its home screens and menu pages. Its multimedia feature set includes AT&T Mobile TV, and it has good performance

The Samsung Mythic's streaming video needs improvement and its Web browser has only two zoom settings

The Samsung Mythic is an admirable multimedia phone with the added bonus of AT&T Mobile TV.

When Nikon released the S1000pj, we were stoked about having a projector grafted to a traditional digital camera. When we put it to the test, the camera did a decent job but was definitely, ahem, outshone by its luminous counterpart.

The projector feature is Yuri Gagarin-stellar. Pictures were pretty good in most situations without having to adjust a lot of settings

Low-light pictures are a struggle, especially if the ISO has to be raised. Camera is heavy and bulky. Novel feature means early adopter price tag

China has ordered Google to suspend its foreign Web site search service after warning that the company's filtering of pornography was too weak.

Good range of features including manual controls; good video quality; solid build

Confusing touchscreen menu system; odd manual dial location; geotagging feature didn't work

As you'd expect with Sony camcorders, the HDR-CX520V's build quality is high and it sits comfortably in your hand, giving easy access to its wide zoom toggle and still photo buttons. You'll find the usual smattering of sockets dotted around the ...

In cooperation with Fotomanijak.com, we are able to present reviews of the latest digital cameras on the market. First preview from Fotomanijak labs is preview of the latest Canon's EOS 7D DSLR

Very good graphics performance, Built-in mobile broadband, Stylish design, Comfortable keyboard, Loud speakers

Shorter battery life than Windows XP version, Touchpad has too much friction

There are no surprises when it comes to the port selection on the Mini 311. On the left side is a USB 2.0 and HDMI port; on the right is Ethernet, VGA, two USB 2.0, headphone/mic, and a 5-in-1 memory card reader

We've been saying it for years: The moment they stop messing around with rushed, under-funded movie tie-ins and make a real Batman game, we'll have a huge hit on our hands. With Arkham Asylum, Rocksteady has proved us right-this game finally does ...

Fights against these 'roid-raging thugs are exciting, but the game goes back to this well a few times too often

The Insignia NS-LDVD32Q-10A is a 720p LCD HDTV for the budget-minded. Surprisingly though, this Best Buy store brand TV is not a clunker. Capable of deep black levels and an impressive contrast ratio, we can recommend it as a model for the kids or the ...

The Insignia NS-LDVD32Q-10A surprised us, aspiring beyond what the price would suggest. Namely, the color performance proved rather good, and the deep black levels ensure that you'll be seeing a lot of detail in the shadows. However, the TV's ...

Yes, it's a love or hate characteristic, but RIM is a historically conservative company when it comes to design changes, and the Bold 9700 is no exception. As a replacement to the aging BlackBerry Bold 9000, the Bold 9700 (also referred to as "the ...

It might seem natural to mock the Palm Pixi's name, but it's actually brilliant. This cute, little smartphone isn't going up against high-end phones like the Motorola Droid and the iPhone 3GS. Rather, it could replace cheaper texting phones in the ...

Fun interface. Cute design. Usable keyboard. Many more features than texting phones have

Struggles with multitasking and video playback. Thin app catalog. Only for people with sharp eyes and small fingers

The Palm Pixi, like the Palm Centro and BlackBerry Pearl before it, is a perfect entry-level smartphone for heavy texters who hadn't considered a smartphone before.

The LG 32LH40 is an entry-level LCD with a 32-inch screen that supports 1080p. The 32LH40 had some decent performance scores for a TV its size. It also has some nice extras, such as photo and music playback and a 120 Hz refresh rate setting. The LG ...

The LG 32LH40 is a pretty solid option at its price point. It doesn't have the highest contrast ratio and its color temperature tends to wander, but it did tend to have less artifacting/blurring issues than competing TVs. Overall, the 32LH40's ...

As we've seen more and more lately, buying a 'budget' laptop doesn't mean you have to sacrifice tons of performance or features. Don't expect what you would get for $1K, but for $600 you should get smooth processing, decent hard drive sizes, and ...

Price

Not many ports. No Blu-ray. Poor performance

At $580, the Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5996 laptop may seem like a steal, but its weak performance and feature set still disappoint.

If you have a craving for something with more power than your compact point and shoot digital camera, the SX20 IS makes a very good choice. It has most of the features you'll find on an entry-level SLR, yet is priced considerably less. Image quality ...

20X (28-560mm 35mm equivalent range), Optical image stabilization, Full manual control of most settings, 12.1MP resolution

The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS digital camera is Canon's latest entry into...

is a bold, possibly crazy move. But it's a sign of how competitive the smartphone market is right now and how far HTC, whose latest phone is the Droid Eris, will go to take on its rivals.

Hardware smoother than a shave with a cutthroat razor. Brilliant touchscreen is shiny and responsive. 5-megapixel cam shoots very passable pics. Price is a friend to wallets everywhere

Processor lags like a chain smoker running the Boston Marathon. Mediocre voice quality. User interface could use a tune-up. And a valve job. Hell, how about a complete overhaul

The Nokia army of touchscreen smartphones gets larger by the hour and the Nokia N97 mini is surely one of the most interesting new recruits. The Finnish company has obviously reconsidered its priories and now focuses on optimization, rather than ...

Slide-n-tilt 3.2" 16M-color resistive touchscreen of 640 x 360 pixel resolution ; 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and VGA@30fps video recording ; Symbian OS 9.4 with S60 5th edition UI with kinetic scrolling ; Slide-out three-row full ...

The S60 touch UI is still inconsistent ; Outdated camera interface and features ; No DivX or XviD video support out-of-the-box ; No smart dialing ; No office document editing (without a paid upgrade) ; No camera lens protection ; No FM transmitter ...

The original Nokia N97 was the first sign of that as it hardly offered any ground-breaking features, instead relaying on the good all-round performance. However the first high-end S60 touchscreen handset left enough room for another similar handset in ...
