TomTom GO 740 Live
When we spoke with TomTom's representatives concerning the new GO 740 Live, the navigation device was described as offering a "God's-eye view" of the road. Now, the GO isn't omniscient, but it gets pretty close with its three-pronged approach to navigation data. Firstly and most importantly, a built-in wireless data...

iHome iP99 (black)
You could be forgiven for confusing one iHome iPod speaker product with another--at last count, there were nine current models, and that doesn't include the five that are just different colored housings or the sole Zune product. One of the latest models in the lineup is the iP99. It's the...

iHome iH27BR
SDI Technologies adds to its line of iPod-compatible clock audio systems with the iH27, a model designed for travel that's powered by an included power supply or 4 optional AA batteries.

GE 28310EE1 (Skype)
We've reviewed several dual-mode cordless phones with Skype in 2007, and if you've compared the various models, you'll notice that our reviews sound very similar. That's because apart from styling and the availability of additional handsets, there's very little difference between the current crop of Skype phones. GE's dual-mode Skype/cordless...

Netgear SPH200D
Netgear's SPH200D dual-mode cordless phone with Skype is the third such phone we've reviewed and, truth be told, they're all very similar.

Before there was this iPhone, there was, well, the iPhone--the Linksys iPhone, that is. Apple and Cisco--the owner of Linksys--got into a little legal dispute over whether Apple could use the iPhone name, which eventually lead to a settlement that allows Apple to use the iPhone brand while Linksys...

The vast majority of Skype users still make their Internet phone calls through their computers, employing the built-in mic and speakers on their PCs or, better yet, a headset.
