Archos 5 (120GB)

The Archos 5 boasts an improved screen size, image resolution, and sound quality over its predecessor, but its Web browser and Flash media playback are disappointing for a product marketed on the strength of its Internet media capabilities.

Pantech C610 (AT&T)

The Pantech C610 is a slim and speedy flip phone with plenty of features, but it does suffer from a few design pitfalls.
Sony NWZ-E438F Walkman (8GB, red)

The Sony E-Series Walkman is a great value. It's an excellent option for anyone looking for an easy-to-use MP3 player with a pocketable design, a long battery life, handy features, and solid sound quality.
Shuttle KPC K-4800

We liked Shuttle's original low-cost Linux desktop, but even though the KPC K-4800 adds a DVD drive and a few other upgrades, the price increase takes a toll on its overall value. Regardless of their operating system, too many Windows PCs give you more hardware for the money.
Iriver Spinn (4GB)

Until Iriver lowers the price on the Spinn, it will remain a luxury portable media player best suited to an early adopter with a penchant for unique gadgets and a library of lossless music.

The Samsung HKT450 is a good portable Bluetooth speakerphone with a few extra features lacking in most other speakerphones.
Iriver Spinn (8GB)

Until Iriver lowers the price on the Spinn, it will remain a luxury portable media player best suited to an early adopter with a penchant for unique gadgets and a library of lossless music.
Dell Inspiron 1525-139B

The Dell Inspiron 1525-139B is a classic midsize, mainstream laptop, but this specific retail-only configuration has a wimpier battery than its predecessor.
Samsung Rugby SGH-A837 - burgundy (AT&T)

The Samsung Rugby SGH-A837's could use a few improvements, but it remains a solid choice for a rugged, straight-forward phone with a loaded feature set.
Samsung Rugby SGH-A837 - yellow (AT&T)

The Samsung Rugby SGH-A837's could use a few improvements, but it remains a solid choice for a rugged, straight-forward phone with a loaded feature set.
