Review: HTC Incredible S and Droid Incredible 2
Apr 17th
When the original Droid Incredible hit Verizon in April 2010, it was an immediate smash; it was proof Android was here to stay and a legitimate challenge to the iPhone. With the Incredible S and (soon) the Droid Incredible 2, HTC now has the burden on its hands of not only recapturing the spirit of the original but making it a worldwide success. We’ll see in our Incredible S review whether it’s repeating that success.
Review: Logitech Z906 5.1-channel surround speakers
Apr 10th
The Logitech Z-5500 achieved an almost cult-like status among a certain slice of the computer and gaming markets, and for good reason: along with a fierce level of power, they were one of the few surround sound setups equally suited to both a gaming PC and a home theater.

Review: Pure Evoke Flow Internet radio
Mar 27th
Pure is best known in Britain, where it has a reputation for its digital and often Internet-capable radios. The Evoke Flow is one of its early forays into the US and promises simplicity for a country just getting used to Pandora.
