Griffin Evolve wireless speaker system with iPod dock: To date, "wireless speakers" has been one of the great misnomers in consumer electronics. That's because many so-called wireless speaker systems actually introduce more wires into the equation--usually because those "wireless" systems require extra transmitters and receivers, both of which require their own power cables. And that's exactly why the...; Tags: Griffin, speaker, base station, Apple iPod; Product reviews 2007-11-14
GE Cell Fusion: While a lot of young people are said to be ditching their landlines, the vast majority of households continue to maintain some sort of wired line in addition to their cellular phones. As a result, people are often juggling both lines at home--fielding calls on the landline while opting to...; Tags: Cellular phones, Telecom & Utilities, Processors, General Electric Co., Cell Fusion, handset, Cell, phone, cell phone, base station; Product reviews 2007-10-17
