Good: The $199 Kobo Vox is a relatively affordable Android-based tablet, with a reasonably attractive design, and an expansion slot for more memory beyond its internal 8GB. Kobo's e-reading app and e-book store are integrated into the device and you also get access to GetJar for downloading free apps.
Bad: Books don't load as quickly as they should, the screen isn't incredibly responsive, the battery life is only OK, and the device ships with what appears to be a proprietary cable for charging and transferring files. There's no access to the full Android Market.
Bottom Line: While it's relatively affordable, the Kobo Vox is a truly unexceptional Android tablet, with nothing to recommend it over the identically priced Kindle Fire. [Read more]

Good: The Toshiba Thrive 7-inch has a mini HDMI port, a very responsive screen, and includes a built-in file manager.
Bad: Unlike the 10-inch version, there's no support for full ports or a swappable battery. Also, its camera placement is ill-conceived, the shutter speed is painfully slow, and the tablet is expensive, given what it offers.
Bottom Line: The Toshiba Thrive 7-inch is a decent tablet, but there are simply better options our there for the price. [Read more]

Good: The LBT PocketFinder is extremely easy to use, requiring little to no interaction by the wearer. The included gel cases and clip are attractive without drawing attention to the device's purpose. Web and iOS apps give users access to up to 45 days of location history and unlimited location requests.
Bad: Annual operating costs are higher than those of competing devices.
Bottom Line: The PocketFinder is the simplest to use of the personal GPS locators that we've tested, requiring no interaction from the user on a day-to-day basis, but you'll pay a bit more in the long run for that. [Read more]

Good: With a nice, fast lens, attractive retro design, and speedy performance, the Fujifilm FinePix X10 hits a lot of important high notes.
Bad: The camera has some image-quality-related weaknesses, not the least of which is that to get the best photos you have to shoot in auto at reduced resolutions.
Bottom Line: There's a lot to like about the Fujifilm FinePix X10, but advanced shooters may be frustrated by the trade-offs for the best photos, especially since it's more expensive than its competitors. [Read more]

Good: Monster's Miles Davis Trumpet earphones sound excellent, with very detailed sound and good, tight bass. They have an integrated microphone and navigation controls for cell-phone use, an eye-catching trumpet-themed design, and a tangle-resistant flat cord. The earphones also ship in a special "tribute" box that includes a carrying case and special edition of Davis' "Sketches of Spain" CD.
Bad: They're pricey at $300, and some may find their metal, trumpetlike design a tad uncomfortable.
Bottom Line: While their design isn't for everybody, the Miles Davis Trumpet earphones sound really good. [Read more]

Good: The Nikon Coolpix S6200 packs an ultrawide-angle lens with a 10x zoom into a very small body, but still remains comfortable and easy to use.
Bad: The S6200's autofocus and overall shooting performance are mediocre.
Bottom Line: The Nikon Coolpix S6200 is not exceptional in any way, but casual snapshooters in need of a pocket-friendly 10x zoom camera should check it out. [Read more]
