Cell2Tel Bluetooth Gateway

The Cell2Tel Bluetooth Gateway is a handy way to use your cell phone with a landline telephone. Call quality is great, and you can still keep features like caller ID and voice mail. You can connect up to two cell phones with the Cell2Tel

The Cell2Tel Bluetooth Gateway does cost quite a bit, and it is not necessary if you already have a great signal in your home and don't like talking on landline phones

The Cell2Tel Bluetooth Gateway offers a smart solution for those who want to use their cell phones with a regular landline telephone.

Belkin Conserve Surge Protector (10-outlet)

The Belkin Conserve surge protector allows you to completely shut down most of your components to save on energy costs while keeping two outlets reserved for electronics you want to keep "always on ; surge protection for cable/satellite RF lines ; ...

No socket for Powerline network adapters ; no phone line or network protection

Belkin's Conserve surge protector probably won't save you a ton of money, but it does provide a convenient way to selectively shut off any power-sucking devices in your home.

Gefen Wireless HDmi Extender

Stable reception with full HD resolution and generally very good quality ; supports 1080p/24 high-definition video ; two HDMI and one component-video input with analog audio ; solid build quality

Expensive ; minor false contouring ; cannot support 1080p/60 video ; no remote for manually switching between sources ; limited to a 30-foot range ; some gaming lag

The professional-grade Gefen EXT-WHDMI may not quite match the quality of an actual HDMI cable, but its solid transmissions make it a viable candidate when wireless HDMI is the best option.

Acoustic Research HDP100 HDMI Powerlink System

Allows HDMI audio and video signals to travel over powerlines without additional wiring ; compatible with 1080p, 720p, and 480p video ; transmits IR signals to allow control of hidden components ; easy setup ; includes HDMI cable and mounting hardware

Lower video quality than standard HDMI cable connections ; not designed to go between rooms ; doesn't work with 1080i sources

Its picture quality won't please videophiles, but the Acoustic Research HDP100's HDMI-over-powerline system works well for casual viewers who want to save some money over in-wall installations.

PLANon Universal Mobile Charger

The Planon Universal Mobile Charger is easy to use and effectively delivers a charge for your mobile device.

You must remember to charge the Planon Universal Mobile Charger before use. Also, it doesn't support LG, Samsung, or Sanyo handsets, and it couldn't power one of our test phones completely.

The Planon Universal Mobile Charger delivers cell phone power in a pinch, provided it works with your phone.

RadioShack 2.4GHz Wireless Stereo Headphones

The RadioShack 2.4GHz Wireless Stereo Headphones do away with wires when you're listening portably ; no signal dropouts ; compatible with a wide range of devices

We found the RadioShack 2.4GHz Wireless Stereo Headphones uncomfortable even for short durations ; doesn't control iPod remotely or double as a cell phone headset

at any of our online merchants.

Canon Optura 300

Canon Optura 300

By John DuQuette

Lightweight and compact ; fits well in the hand ; well-placed controls ; quality snapshots ; autofocus-assist lamp for shooting photos in dim light

Clumsy manual focus ; short battery life ; limited manual control ; no infrared night mode ; poorly placed microphone ; no accessory shoe

The slick, compact Optura 300 is an excellent choice for picky shooters who want a solid vacation camcorder without the excess baggage.
