iPhone 3GS Portable Genius - Book Review
Mike Breed, Review - 01/28/10
Most iPhone users take it for granted that they know how to use most of their phone's features. An iPhone is a thing of beauty, a device so well designed that most of us can figure out how to utilize its basic functions in short order. Apple surely realizes this - the iPhone ships with a manual, doesn't it?

Lowepro Pro Runner 200 AW - Review
Mark Rudd, Review - 01/26/10
When I first received the 200 AW, my immediate response was to the attractive combination of black and green colored materials used by Lowepro. The use of high quality materials and craftsmanship, from my experience, is a hallmark of a Lowepro product. The 200 AW is no exception.

Kensington Expert Mouse - Review
Mark Rudd, Column - 01/21/10
As a longtime user of Kensington trackballs, I was excited to try Kensington’s latest addition to this storied product line. The Expert Mouse follows in the pro level footsteps of the critically acclaimed Turbo Mouse. How would this modern version of my all time favorite pointing device compare?

iSync Plug-ins for Mac - Review
Annette Quirke, Review - 01/21/10
What would you think if you were to hear the words “It's now a piece of cake to use a Bluetooth enabled cell phone to send text-messages and dial numbers directly from your phone. Hey, even cake eaters would perk up their ears at that not to mention those of us who think of our phones as a piece of us.

Photoshop Elements 8 - Review
John H Farr, Review - 01/20/10
I come to this review as someone who's used Photoshop CS4 extensively but has never touched Photoshop Elements before. At Adobe's invitation, I attended a virtual press conference prior to the launch of Version 8, and that impressed me so much I wanted to get my hands on the app.

PhotoForge for iPhone - Review
Sandro Cuccia, Review - 01/19/10
Within days after I evaluated and tested the Photogene image editor app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and published my review on MyMac.com, I stumbled upon an app that beats it, hands-down! And, this app had been out for a bit. I place the blame squarely on myself. For the new year, I swear on my Mac Plus’ grave to forego my everyday activities and watch the iTunes App Store 24/7 for new photography apps.

The Five Dollar Fix

Here's who'll use the iPad
One question that went unanswered at the iPad launch is who would use the thing. Some have suggested there really aren't that many potential users out there, and like the Cube, the iPad will be a product without a market. But I don't think that's true. There are actually quite a few people who'll find an iPad useful. The question is whether you're one of them.

CAN Apple be the savior of newspapers?
The yet unnamed and possibly fictional device from Apple has been called many things from a dedicted eBook reader, a larger iPod Touch/ iPhone data device, to an all purpose OS X in your pocket kind of thing. Apple rarely has made single-purpose devices (especially since Jobs returned) and IF this tablet will eventually end up being sold in the Apple Store, it most likely won't be just for reading books.
