Magic Mouse Looks Impeccably Gorgeous, Feels Ridiculously Uncomfortable
Apple’s new pointer peripheral, the Magic Mouse, resembles the rest of their product line: beautifully-designed and unusually styled. Sporting a flat design and multi-touch functionality, the wireless accessory should prove an excellent companion for portable computing needs.

It’s not difficult to understand the appeal of all-in-one PCs. They look good, they take up little space and, if you don’t intend to use them for demanding tasks, they work.

Flip MinoHD Second-Gen Review: Good, But Not Good Enough
With increasing competition in the space, Pure Digital has no choice but to turn up improvements. This is especially true with competing products offering more features, while gouging them at the price point (like the outstanding Kodak Zi8). As such, we had high hopes for the second-generation of the Flip MinoHD. For the most part, [...]

Sony CyberShot TX1: Fast, Compact And Powerful
Noticeably slim and posting fast operations, the compact Sony CyberShot TX1 stands shoulders above the competition with a killer 10.6 mm Exmor R CMOS sensor.

PSP Go: Good-Looking And Pocketable, But Raises Plenty Of Issues
The PSP Go has received a lot of flak ever since Sony first introduced the device, along with its planned pricing. Now that it’s out, that tune hasn’t changed. It’s still overpriced, and Sony’s marketing hats aren’t doing enough to change that perception.
Not that it’s a bad piece of tech. On the contrary, the PSP [...]
X10 iconRemote RF: A Universal Remote For Home Automation

Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M20: Decent Phone, Great GPS, Screen Too Small
The title of the “best GPS-phone” is still up for grabs, with no clear handset taking the cake, so far. Not that there’s any lack of competing units, though, with Nokia having a couple of models out there, HTC with the Cruise, Pharos and, of course, the Garmin-Asus partnership.
Garmin-Asus’ first phone, the Nuvifone G60, [...]
