MobiBlu Cube2
No doubt the cult of the Cube will continue with this new model, the world's smallest multimedia player. What it doesn't offer in ideal user experience, it makes up for in style.
MobiBlu US2
MobiBlu's wearable US2 is sleek and feature packed, but the user interface isn't very sophisticated.
Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 Plus
The Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 Plus is a "flash media VCR" that provides a straightforward way to get video content onto your PlayStation Portable--or any other portable media device--without the need for a PC.
Nintendo Wii
It lacks the graphical prowess and rich media features of the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, but the Nintendo Wii's combination of unique, motion-sensitive controllers and emphasis on fun game play make the ultra-affordable console hard to resist.
Nokia 5300
The Nokia 5300 is a well-designed, user-friendly music cell phone that offers an amazing range of features backed by outstanding performance.
Panasonic TH-50PH9UK
Although its features can't compete against typical consumer plasma TVs, the "professional" Panasonic TH-50PH9UK's excellent picture quality and price make it the best value at this size, bar none.
Philips MCD515
The Philips MCD515 one-ups older, CD-only shelf systems by adding DVD playback. Pair it with a small TV, and you've got a great bedroom A/V system for less than $150.
Pioneer VSX-82TXS
With an extensive feature package, rock-solid build quality, and awesome sound, the Pioneer Elite VSX-82TXS is a worthy combination of everything we expect from a high-end A/V receiver.
Samsung HT-TQ85
Sexy tower speakers, great sound on DVDs and CDs, and HDMI and USB connectivity make the affordable Samsung HT-TQ85 an ideal mix of high style and home-theater prowess.
Samsung Jitterbug Dial
The Jitterbug Dial is very user-friendly, with a bright display, a large and tactile keypad, and many of the same characteristics of a landline cordless phone.
Samsung LN-S4096D
One of the best overall LCD televisions we've tested, the Samsung LN-S4096D delivers very good picture quality along with plenty of features and style.
