Haier HL47K

Haier is hardly a household name in the U.S. among TV manufacturers, although you might know the brand through its air conditioner business. Nonetheless, the HL47K isn't the first Haier HDTV we've reviewed. That distinction belongs to the otherwise less-than-distinct 42EP14S, a 42-inch plasma that sold for $2,300 in...

Obama: good news for Sun

Obama: good news for SunThey'll switch to laptopsMy feeling is, given the mentality in most IT environments, customers will merely swap out desktop PCs for low-power-consumption laptops rather than use Sun Rays. I know from a security perspective this doesn't make sense, but when have "security measures" made sense in...

JBL On Time 400iHD Speaker Dock for iPod

iPod speakers are a dime-a-dozen. There are big ones and small ones; black ones and red ones; some with alarm clocks, and many with built-in docks. As one might expect, you don't have to look hard to find models with integrated FM--and even AM--radios, but if you must have cutting-edge...

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 (30GB, black)

Standard-definition camcorders tend to have relatively low-resolution image sensors, but JVC bucks that trend with its top-of-the-line Everio G-series hybrid hard-drive/flash-memory camcorder, the GZ-MG730. Instead of a more typical 1-megapixel or 680,000-pixel sensor, the MG730 uses a 7-megapixel model with the goal of giving consumers a combination camcorder and a...

Samsung SGH-T109 (T-Mobile)

There's not a lot you should expect from T-Mobile's new Samsung SGH-T109. As a basic phone with minimal features, it doesn't offer much beyond the ability to make calls and send messages. Of course, that's not a bad thing--not everybody needs a handset with flashy offerings--but the SGH-T109 is about...
