With a large, bright 4.2-inch touch screen and Bravia technology driving it, Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Arc is a great smartphone running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Possibly one of the thinnest, lightest phones we’ve tried.
Bang & Olufsen’s BeoSound 8 Speaker Dock for iPad, iPhone and iPod is as beautiful to look at as it is to listen to. The rich, full sound with excellent bass can fill any room.
HTC’s new Thunderbolt 4G Android Smartphone is the first 4G/LTE phone on Verizon, and it is a powerhouse. The huge screen is stunning, performance is very fast and 4G speeds are faster than some home internet connections. But there are a few caveats.
Panasonic’s VIERA TC-P55ST30 55-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV offers some of the best technology available and one of the clearest pictures, plus motion smoothing technology that makes this very easy on your eyes. Internet connectivity and an SD card slot for your own 3D movies and photos make it a fun way to view your own 3D images and videos.
Novatel’s 4510L 4G MiFi device is now available on Verizon. It’s pocket-sized and can connect up to 5 devices to the internet using 4G, offering up to 10x faster speeds online.
Is Motorola’s Xoom tablet, running Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), an iPad killer? We spent some time with one to find out.
Nikon’s inexpensive COOLPIX L24 digital camera shoots 14 megapixel photos and standard definition video. It has a 3.6x optical Nikkor zoom that’s fairly long on the telephoto side. It’s easy to use, easy to carry and easy to afford.
Amazon Kindle is doing something interesting. It’s offering the Kindle for $25 less if you allow them to display special offers and ads on the device. Those ads may be less annoying than you might think and you’ll have some say in the types of ads you see.
