iHome iP1

Introduction

If the iHome brand seems familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen or heard their products at your favorite large-scale retailer. In 2005 iHome began making affordable clock radios for the iPod and since then has expanded their product line to include a dizzying array of portable speakers, home stereo systems, earbuds and even more clock radios. iHome, though very successful and popular, is not what we’d characterize as a “high end” brand, but with the introduction of the iP1, the company aims to change that perception.

Olympus PEN E-PL1

Introduction

It’s hardly a secret that Canon and Nikon dominate the DSLR market. Rather than beating their heads against the wall by competing directly against them, other manufacturers are zeroing in a new type of camera—one with a large imaging sensor, smaller size and interchangeable lenses so you can get the photographic benefits of a DSLR without breaking your shoulder carrying it around all day.

Novero TheTalkyOne Bluetooth Hands Free Kit Review

Specifications
The Novero TheTalkyOne works with most major Bluetooth phones and can be used on the desk or mounted to the visor or the dash in your car. The manufacturer claims the device is good for 15 hours of talk and 180 hours on standby and it comes with a DC charger to keep it powered in the car.

In Use
The Novero TheTalkyOne is a very nice looking Bluetooth device. My review unit was white and looked very much like something from Apple. It has a locking holder that can be used to clip it to the visor in your car or stand it on a desk for conference calls.

Plantronics Explorer 395 Bluetooth headset review

At Engadget, we're used to playing with premium Bluetooth headsets like the Jabra Stone and Jawbone Icon, so it's only natural this $49.95 Plantronics headset would lower our expectations, but turns out it's not bad for the money. For starters, the actual earpiece looks much better than the renders we saw, with a retro look that we quite liked. We're also promised easy operation with few buttons -- the silver paddle-like button (with LEDs underneath) for phone calls and Bluetooth pairing; the black volume button on one side with five incremental volume steps; and the ridged power slide switch on the other side. You'll find a micro-USB port at the end of the silver button, followed by the ear plug underneath and the mic on the other end. Enough with the list of features -- read on to find out how well this headset performs.

HTC Droid Incredible

The best of the Droids on Verizon, the Droid Incredible ($200 with a two-year contract from Verizon) impresses with its speedy user interface, gorgeous AMOLED display and fun Sense user interface. Other than some minor design qualms, this smartphone truly lives up to its name.

Design-wise, the Incredible appears fairly similar to Google's Nexus One, but it is essentially a CDMA version of the HTC Desire, which launched last February in Barcelona, Spain. The phones use Android, Google's open-source operating system.

The Droid Incredible has an 8-megapixel camera (as opposed to the Nexus One and Desire's 5-megapixel shooters). The Droid Incredible also has a strange rubberdized "topographic" battery cover, which I could have done without. While the Incredible is lighter, it doesn't feel as solid as the Nexus One.

Clickfree C2N Review

Backup – we’ve called it an ugly, boring chore before and it remains a necessary evil. We’ve also called Clickfree’s products an ideal way to address that chore before too, and with their latest drive – the Clickfree C2N – the company reckon they’ve managed to make running backups on all your home or small office systems even more straightforward. At the risk of sounding like a bad X-Files plot, that’s something we want to believe; check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
