• Picture Perfect

    The iPhone 3GS is great for a lot of things: Staying connected with friends, checking your e-mail, flipping through your music library, playing games and, maybe most impressively, taking pictures. While the 2-mega-pixel camera in the iPhone 2G and 3G left plenty to be desired, the 3-mega-pixel camera on the latest iPhone is something to…

  • Five-Star Notebook

    Computer companies have been trying to create “greener” laptops since, well, the day after they created the original laptop. But the evolution of the Netbook (smaller, more compact versions of the laptop computer) has presented a new challenge for computer companies looking to go green. Toshiba is one of the first to step up with…

  • Control Freak

    There’s nothing more annoying than losing the remote control. It gets trapped between the couch cushions or slips underneath the coffee table or gets picked up and carried into the kitchen, never to be returned. Well, the brand-new GlideTV Navigator remote control won’t help you with that problem. But it is going to change the…

  • Feel the FLO

    Sure, you’ve already got DVR, live-streaming on the Internet and, if things really get bad, a Twitter feed to help you stay current when it comes to keeping up with what’s happening on TV these days. But the reality is you’re not home as much as you used to be and, in some cases, sticking…

  • Beat It!

    We wouldn’t endorse a video game endorsed by rappers simply because they’re endorsed by rappers. We’d be crazy to. Wu-Tang‘s Shaolin Style in 1999? Funkmaster Flex‘s Funkmaster Flex Digital Hitz Factory in 2004? Fiddy‘s 50 Cent: Bulletproof in 2005? Not exactly classic games. But Beaterator ($40), a collaboration between superproducer Timbaland and Rockstar Games, now…

  • Game On!

    First things first: BCFx: The Doug Williams Edition ($40) is not a replacement for Madden 2010. If you’re looking for the best football game on the market, John Madden is still your man. But that doesn’t mean there’s not a place for Doug Williams, too. Williams, the first African-American quarterback to lead his team to…

  • Sneaker Freaker

    Saucony will probably always be more well-known for its high-quality running shoes than for cool-guy custom kicks. (They are, after all, owned by the Stride Rite Corporation, which is, in turn, owned by Payless ShoeSource—not that there’s anything wrong with that!) But there’s nothing uncool about their latest collection. Just one year after collaborating with…

  • Sweet Dream

    There’s a good chance you hate your alarm clock. It’s loud. It’s annoying. And it’s the first thing you see when you wake up in the morning. Which is why the new Hewlett-Packard DreamScreen 100 ($249) is, well, such a dream. Designed to be a companion to your PC, the DreamScreen connects to your wireless network seamlessly and, in many ways, does everything your…

  • Book ’Em!

    When it comes to the brand-new IREX DR800SG eReader, don’t judge a book by its cover. Though the IREX ($399; available at select Best Buy locations) doesn’t carry as much weight (yet) as Amazon does with the Kindle ($299), or Sony does with the Reader Daily Edition ($299), here’s everything you need to know: In 2001,…
