Review Roundup: Sprint's Best Cellular Broadband Devices
Nationwide wireless Web access is a luxury, but if you have the need for constant Internet access, it's well worth the expense. Sprint set itself apart from the rest of the pack by providing high-speed online access, which eliminates the worry about finding a hot spot. These phones, laptops, and cellular cards will have you sprinting online anywhere you can get a cell signal.



Bargain Hunt: Network-Attached Storage
There are plenty of reasons to want a network-attached storage (NAS) device in your home or office. For starters, a NAS simplifies sharing anything from music to work documents over your existing network, and makes backing up your data easier as well. The one drawback, though, is the high cost of many NAS devices. That's not a problem with these three, all of which come with plenty of memory and low sticker prices.

Column: Microsoft's Mobile Speed Trap
We know we take a lot of shots at Microsoft more or less every chance we get, but the company's biggest misstep (aka Vista) won't seriously damage the company. On the other hand, unless Microsoft gets a grip on the handheld chip situation, Google, Apple, and RIM will leave it behind. Sascha Segan thinks the company may be able to catch up if it acts soon. Read his whole column for more.



Review: Creative Mini Camcorder Does a Flip

@Work: New Notebook Choices from ASUS and Toshiba
It's tough to say what small-business owners are really looking for in a notebook PC because everyone has different priorities.

Head over to @Work for more analysis.

  1. Thank you for your blog. It is very informative. Also from www.pissedconsumer.com I learned more about Bargain Network. It provides accurate and fast information on quality, pricing, and the availability of products, even low-priced used cars or hard-to-find properties. The company helps not only to buy property and vehicles but also to sell. Customers may place their advertisements on the web site. Bargain Network also provides the clients with credit reports.
