Good: The Sony Xperia P has a beautiful design and good build quality, with a brushed-aluminum chassis and a bright 4-inch display.
Bad: The Xperia P only runs Gingerbread (Android 2.3) and the battery isn't removable. There's no expandable memory slot and its reception suffers from a "death grip."
Bottom Line: The Sony Xperia P is one of the better handsets from Sony Mobile this year. It has great build quality and the display is bright enough to use outdoors. [Read more]

Good: The Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Router R20000G supports true dual-band connectivity and USB-based network storage. It offers decent range on the 2.4GHz band and very good data rates on the 5GHz band.
Bad: Amped Wireless' R20000G doesn't support the 450Mbps standard, runs hot, and has terrible data rates on the 2.4GHz band and relatively short range on the 5GHz band. The router's built-in USB port doesn't support printers and didn't fare very well in terms of storage performance, either.
Bottom Line: Despite the added features, the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Router R20000G doesn't impress as much as the previous model, and hence fails to justify its higher price tag. [Read more]

Good: The Philips O'Neill The Stretch TR 55LX are attractively styled, very comfortable, and relatively lightweight for over-the-ear headphones. They're also modestly priced and you can detach the headphone cord.
Bad: Sound could be more dynamic and detailed; no built-in microphone; headphones don't fold flat.
Bottom Line: The Philips O'Neill The Stretch TR 55LX get a birdie for design but only hit par for sound quality. [Read more]

Good: Music sounds surprisingly good on the Energy Power Bar. The wireless subwoofer is compact, and the sound bar itself is easy to wall-mount with keyhole slots on the back.
Bad: The Power Bar sounds underwhelming when it comes to movies, especially for the price. You're also required to use your TV's remote to control the Power Bar, which can be problematic with some TVs.
Bottom Line: The Energy Power Bar sounds better than most sound bars when playing music, but there are better overall sound bars available for less money. [Read more]

Good: Sony's entry-level Handycams, the HDR-CX190, CX200 and CX210 are small, lightweight and cheap. A captive USB cable that enables charging while connected to your computer is one of the few perks.
Bad: You can't really call the video HD quality, the camcorder feels flimsy and the lens is prone to fringing.
Bottom Line: They're cheap and capture video, but don't buy the Sony Handycam HDR-CX190, CX200 or CX210 thinking that you're getting a great bargain on a real HD camcorder. If you're going to buy one, get the cheapest; nothing on any of these is really worth the extra bucks. [Read more]

Good: The Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 4620L by Novatel Wireless provides fast Internet access to up to 10 devices at a time, supports Wireless-N, and has many features. The compact router has long battery life, especially with the included double-capacity battery.
Bad: The Verizon Jetpack MiFi 4620L comes with expensive and limited data plans, doesn't support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, and there's no way to wake it remotely.
Bottom Line: Business travelers will find the Verizon Jetpack MiFi 4620L an excellent companion thanks to its fast connection, nice set of features, and long-lasting battery. Its expensive and limited data plans, however, might steer casual users away. [Read more]
