Good: The 2012 Nissan Versa's continuously variable transmission and electric power steering help fuel efficiency. A large trunk and cabin area give it good practicality.
Bad: Navigation is not available at the SV trim level. Voice command only controls the phone system.
Bottom Line: With an apparent focus on keeping its price low, Nissan made very little tech available in the 2012 Versa SV. It offers some basics, but competitors in this segment have more robust electronics. [Read more]

Good: The Huawei Ascend II has an appealing, compact design, and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It comes with a microSD card preinstalled and the price is great.
Bad: Unfortunately, the Ascend II is saddled with a slow processor, a mediocre camera, and disappointing battery performance.
Bottom Line: The Huawei Ascend II comes at an unbeatable price for an Android smartphone, but the trade-off is getting lower-end features that sometimes underperform. [Read more]

Good: The Pogoplug Series 4 is an easy-to-set-up adapter that lets you access any 2.5-inch hard drive, USB storage device, or SD card from anywhere online. It's easy to set up, attractively small, and smartly designed. Files can be accessed via browser or apps, and auto backup of photos and videos from a phone or iPad using the Pogoplug app works surprisingly well, too.
Bad: Video playback on a TV is still a weird and kludgy experience, and video formats don't all work perfectly; automated file backup isn't as smooth and transparent as on an Apple Time Capsule or other NAS devices; USB 3 flash drives got extremely hot when plugged in.
Bottom Line: The Pogoplug Series 4 is a cleverly simple device for getting files and media content from your hard drive, USB drive, or SD card online and shareable with smartphones, tablets and PCs. While many may find it redundant to cloud storage services, the Series 4 is easily the best version of the Pogoplug to date. [Read more]

Good: The PowerMat Dual 1850 Rechargeable Backup Battery has a simple, compact design. It can power two devices at once and it can deliver emergency juice when you're on the go.
Bad: The Backup Battery's 30-pin connecter doesn't have a secure fit and you can't charge non-Apple devices that lack a Micro-USB port. Though economical by itself, the Backup Battery is expensive when you add up the related accessories.
Bottom Line: Provided you can afford it and it's compatible with your gadgets, the PowerMat Dual 1850 Rechargeable Backup Battery is a fresh, efficient, and convenient way to charge multiple devices when at home and on the go. [Read more]
