Navfree USA: Free Satnav (Android) Posted: 03 Aug 2012 12:44 AM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Free, locally stored maps and routing software for all 50 states, Canada, and Mexico make Navfree USA a great Google Maps alternative for off-the-grid navigation. It gets frequent updates from OpenStreetMap.org servers, and multiple languages are available. Bad: Traffic data, lane guidance, and spoken street names aren't available. Many menu options are redundant. Bottom Line: Navfree USA is about as basic as navigation apps get, but its ability to store local map data, its frequent updates, and the fact that it's free make it an invaluable tool for Android navigation.

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 12:18 AM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Samsung SyncMaster S27B750 has a beautiful and practical design, sports tons of connections, and includes useful features like Smart Hub and MHL support. Bad: The monitor doesn't match the movies and games performance of last year's models. There's no DVI or DisplayPort connection. $500 feels about $50-$75 too expensive Bottom Line: The Samsung SyncMaster T27B750 offers a giant coffer's worth of features and sports a beautiful design, but its performance was underwhelming.

Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f1.8 lens Posted: 02 Aug 2012 08:21 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f1.8 delivers generally excellent optical performance in a well-constructed lens. Bad: The manual focus ring feels a little too loose. Bottom Line: A bright, fast lens with a high-end build, the Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f1.8 is a great option for portrait photographers shooting with Micro Four Thirds cameras. [Read more] |
Targus Space Saving Lap Chill Mat Posted: 02 Aug 2012 05:01 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The adjustable Targus Space Saving Lap Chill Mat packs down to just over an inch thick, but pops open to lift and cool larger laptops. Bad: With its drab plastic design it doesn't feel like a $40-plus accessory, and the stand has only two positions, open and closed. Bottom Line: Most laptop stands either are too big to carry, or only support smaller notebooks. The Targus Space Saving Lap Chill Mat packs down nearly flat, and can also support 17-inch desktop-replacement laptops. [Read more] |
Posted: 02 Aug 2012 04:14 PM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: Brother makes it easy to network the MFC-7860DW with collaborators, and its modest price tag makes sense for budget-minded shoppers. Bad: Larger offices will feel cramped by the printer's small paper input tray and 10,000-sheet recommended output per month. Bottom Line: The Brother MFC-7860DW and its autodocument feeder, wireless connectivity, and simple installation make it an apt match for small businesses with moderate printing needs. [Read more] |
