Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth Headset Review
While the adoption rate for Bluetooth headsets has been increasing over the years, it is nowhere near the saturation point. Could the Plantronics Voyager Pro be the headset to finally shake the market?
LaCie iamaKey USB Flash Drive Review
Most USB flash drives these days are long and rectangular, usually designs that don’t catch the eyes of computer users, maybe except for the Teddy Bear flash drive we reviewed last month. However, LaCie is trying to change that with their latest line of flash drives, one of them being the iamaKey. As the name implies, the LaCie iamaKey is shaped like a typical key you find on your keychain.
Altec Lansing Expressionist BASS Speaker Review
Offering all the bass that comes with a subwoofer without the wasted space on your floor, the expressionist BASS speakers from Altec Lansing prove to be an interesting concept. Instead of a traditional subwoofer, the speakers have a four inch subwoofer located in their bases.
Teddy Bear USB Drive Review
Most of you out there have at least one USB drive that you use to take your stuff from place to place, and I bet it’s a plain looking thing. It’s probably plain black and plastic, or maybe colored, and possibly rubber, depending on which one you have, the common denominator here is that most USB drives look pretty much the same, small and rectangular pieces of plastic, with some variations here and there. Today for review I’ve got the Teddy Bear 1GB USB Drive, and it’s exactly what it sounds like, a cute and cuddly stuffed animal with a USB drive inside of it. So it’s a cute stuffed Teddy Bear that doubles as a USB drive, but it’s also a bit disturbing as well, read on to see what I mean by that…

Dell G2210 22-inch LCD Monitor Review
A lot of cheaper monitors these days don’t bother checking their power consumption, and are somewhat inefficient in power management, until today. Dell has managed to focus highly on “greener” monitors, and have released their G2210 and G2410 monitors. They took out all the steps in providing one of the greenest monitors available, packaged to help reduce the carbon footprint and made with materials that are environmentally friendly. Today we’ll be taking a look at the G2210.
Gateway UC7807u Notebook Review
Gateway has long been a budget staple in the computer industry for notebooks and desktops, and introduced their first 13.3-inch notebook at CES in January. At only $800, it’s affordable in this economy, but is it worth it?
Windows Quick Tip: Switching Between Windows
In Windows Vista, there are a variety of ways to switch between open windows. While one of these may not work in older versions such as Windows XP or Windows 2000, you may not have heard of either of them before. Besides the obvious way of switching by clicking on the icon in the taskbar, here are two ways you may not have heard of.

aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock Review
Alarm clocks aren’t something that we tackle on a daily basis for review. However, the aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock provides a unique solution to waking up which drew our interest. Instead of consistently waking you up at the same time, the aXbo monitors sleep patterns and wakes you only when you’re in the lightest stage of sleep. See how it stacks up after the break.
Amazon Kindle 2 Review
We reviewed the Amazon Kindle back in January of last year, and now Amazon is back with the Kindle 2. With an improved display (although not larger), sleek new design, and a new navigation joystick, plus text-to-speech, does the Amazon Kindle 2 win our praise? Read on after the break for more details and our final opinion.
Flip Video MinoHD Review
Based on the highly popular and portable Mino pocket camcorder, Flip Video has upped the ante once more with the MinoHD. As the name implies, it shoots 1280 x 720 video, but does it really do the job in all conditions? We’ve put it through the test, and our full review is after the break.

Logitech Squeezebox Boom Review
If you’re familiar with the original Squeezebox network music player, it allowed you to listen to the music on your computer in one location wirelessly over your hi-fi system. Logitech recently acquired the company, and has been making significant advances. One of them is the new Squeezebox Boom. What features does it add and how good is it?
Logitech Harmony 1100 Universal Remote Control Review
Logitech’s Harmony 1100 is the second touch-screen remote the company has produced, and the first that we’ve been able to get our hands on. Becoming the iPhone of remotes, the remote substitutes the majority of the tactile response of other remotes with simplified touch-based controls.

The Blackberry Curve smartphone has been a staple in the industry for a long time starting with the original 8300 back in 2007. RIM is back at it again with the sleek new Curve 8900 smartphone. How does it compare to the 8300 series and will it become the new champion of the Blackberry?
Sprint 598U Mobile Broadband Modem Review
Mobile broadband cards are becoming smaller and less bulky over the past couple of years, and have also been adding features as well such as GPS. Like previous cards we’ve reviewed, many of them are also doubling as microSD card readers, which are ubiquitous in cell phones and smartphones around the world. The latest Sierra Wireless 598U mobile broadband card from Sprint is one of them, and we’re taking a look at it today.
iPhone 3.0 and Why I Want It
Last week, Apple introduced the new iPhone 3.0 software that’s hitting the public this summer. Looking back at the launch of the original iPhone, I’m wondering if there’s anything that Apple is still missing. On the hardware side, we got our 3G network and GPS. On our software side, what is there to want?
RIM BlackBerry Storm 9530 Review
It’s been a little over a month since I received my review unit in the mail of the new BlackBerry Storm on the Verizon network, and I have to say, it’s been a great experience, but not an awesome one. With the world’s first “clickable” touch screen display, does it offer a similar experience to the heavyweight, the iPhone 3G?
