Evernote, the ubiquitous tool for storing notes, audio, and just about any kind of file for business and pleasure, has graduated to version 1.5. It isn't a major...

A number of bug fixes are also on the menu for the 1.5 update, including some issues related to Evernote's Safari toolbar button that could sometimes knock other buttons out of the toolbar. Blank notes should no longer appear when users try to merge ...

This portable GPS device is solid, but it isn't quite on a par with competing models from TomTom and Magellan.

Big 4.3-inch screen ; Easy to use

No lane assistance ; Lacks refinements found on high-end GPS devices

While the Nextar Q4-md lacks some of its competitors' refined features--such as automatic route overviews and lane assistance--it's still a solid choice for a portable GPS device

The TomTom Go 930 is an automotive GPS (global positioning system) navigator. With its voice prompts and LCD map display, this...

Some of the features of Release Candidate 1, now available to the public, are similar to functionality that's already included in Firefox 3.

To counteract this problem, Microsoft has added a compatibility mode: Click a button in the toolbar, and IE 8 will display a page in the same way that IE 7 does. In my testing, I found that most pages worked fine with the standard (new) mode, and that ...

Magellan's good-looking GPS delivers excellent routes and just about every feature you could ask for.

Crisp, clear touch screen ; Delivers excellent routes

Traffic service requires subscription ; No voice recognition

Other features include hands-free calling with Bluetooth-compatible cell phones, FM transmission so you can hear turns and directions over your car stereo, an audio/video/photo viewer, and even the ability to send and receive text messages. In short, ...

The TomTom GO 930 delivered some of the best routes we found; its lack of integrated traffic service is its biggest drawback.

IQ Routes feature lets you find faster routes ; Lots of extras, including iPod controls

Doesn't include traffic receiver or service

All of those extras are nice, but they pale in comparison to the stellar IQ Routes technology. First and foremost, a GPS should get you where you want to go--and get you there quickly. The TomTom GO 930 succeeds at doing just that

A basic navigator, the TomTom One 130S doesn't come with a lot of extras--but it does have a low price.

Low price ; Includes text-to-speech

Very few extra features

Overall, the TomTom One 130 S is a very capable GPS unit at a very affordable price. You don't get a lot of extras, but then again, you won't end up paying for them, either

The Nuvi 265T packs in the features--so many that its 3.5-inch screen feels small.

Includes lifetime traffic service ; Lots of extras, like hands-free calling

3.5-inch screen seems small

The Nuvi 265T lists for $300, but you can find it for about $275 online. That's a reasonable price for a full-featured GPS--especially when you factor in the lifetime traffic service

The 2200T is a basic GPS device, but Navigon sweetens the deal with lifetime traffic service at a bargain-basement price.

Lifetime traffic included ; Offers realistic road images and lane guidance

Interface isn't always attractive ; Maps of the 48 continental U.S. states only

The 2200T will get you where you're heading, though. And it will get you there with traffic service--a stellar extra when you consider this device's low, low price
