Good: Jelly taps your friends and extended social network to find quick answers to your unique or location-specific queries, giving you more personal answers than Google.
Bad: Navigating the app can be clunky and questions aren't organized into topics.
Bottom Line: Don't mistake it for a search engine, but Jelly delivers a fun and more personal information experience. [Read more]

Good: The SteelSeries Stratus packs a lot of controls into a small form, and connects via Bluetooth to recent iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches.
Bad: It's too expensive, and the growing world of controller-compatible iOS games is still a patchwork affair.
Bottom Line: The SteelSeries Stratus is the best-feeling and most versatile iOS game controller, but it's a lot to pay for an accessory. [Read more]

User Rating:
Good: The Logitech Powershell feels sturdy, its buttons are solid and responsive, and an included battery can recharge an iPhone or iPod Touch.
Bad: Too expensive, doesn't show battery-recharge status clearly, and lacks the analog sticks and extra triggers of competing controllers.
Bottom Line: Logitech's first stab at an iOS game controller nails design and feel, but lacks flexibility or extra features. [Read more]

Bad: The Jawbone Era's base model has short battery life and lacks a volume button. The Era's small size is tough on large hands.
Bottom Line: Outside of short battery life, the small and comfortable Jawbone Era delivers the full package of an affordable price, excellent sound quality. and a powerful companion app. [Read more]

Good: Box gives you 50 free gigabytes of space to store just about any type of document, and adds excellent viewing features along with group sharing and multiple levels of security.
Bad: You can't create groups for sharing (collaborative or otherwise) from within the app.
Bottom Line: Though it doesn't have every feature that we'd like, Box is an excellent choice for viewing, editing, and sharing your files securely in the cloud. [Read more]

User Rating:
Good: The LaCie Fuel works well either a fast USB 3.0 portable drive or as a capable mobile Wi-Fi storage device. As the latter, it comes with a well-designed mobile app and offers long battery life.
Bad: The LaCie Fuel doesn't have anything its competition doesn't already have, including the Wireless Plus from Seagate, which owns LaCie.
Bottom Line: Fast and easy to use, the LaCie Fuel makes another very good choice as a mobile storage solution for travelers despite having almost nothing better than its existing peer. [Read more]

User Rating:
Good: The Lenovo Flex 20 offers a big, battery-powered screen for less than the competition, plus a very handy custom software interface for tabletop mode.
Bad: The screen resolution is low, the CPU underpowered, and the battery not very long-lasting.
Bottom Line: It costs less than some other tabletop PCs, but the Lenovo Flex 20 can still be a very good family-style household computer if you don't mind the lower-end specs. [Read more]

User Rating:
Good: The very affordable Cambridge SoundWorks Oontz Curve is a compact wireless Bluetooth speaker that has a built-in rechargeable battery, offers relatively decent sound for its tiny size, has speakerphone capabilities, and has transport controls on the unit itself.
Bad: Can distort at higher volumes; battery life is only OK at 5 hours; glossy finish is eye-catching but attracts fingerprints.
Bottom Line: Cambridge SoundWorks' Oontz Curve has some shortcomings and isn't head and shoulders above the rest of tiny budget wireless Bluetooth speaker world, but you're not going to do too much better for $30. [Read more]

User Rating:
Good: Boxie offers push notifications for file changes, file restoration, and more features that should already be included in the official Dropbox app.
Bad: Currently there's no iPad version of the app. The app won't auto-upload photos or videos as Dropbox does.
Bottom Line: Boxie not only looks nice, but adds features the official Dropbox app doesn't offer, making it the one Dropbox app to use. [Read more]
