Review Roundup: Excellent Entry-Level Cameras
Choosing the right starter camera is quite a balancing act. You want one that's affordable. You want one that's easy to use. But you also want one that will grow with you as you get more and more comfortable with digital photography. These cameras, for example, have the perfect mix of price, features, and usability you're looking for.
Feature: Top Tech Issues in the Presidential Campaign
When the dust settles in November, the next president will have his hands full with the usual issues. But the tech industry will also be watching with great interest to see whether a McCain or Obama presidency will tackle key issues like Net neutrality, patent protection and piracy, broadband availability, privacy, and the availability of H1B visas. Here, we break down each candidate's position on the major tech issues of the day.
Review: Polaroid's Pocket Photo Printer
It's what you've always loved about and associated with Polaroid: printing pictures on the go. Light and compact, the Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer is strong on gadget appeal, but it's limited to a 2-by-3-inch photo size. And how's its image quality? Head over to PCMag.com for more details in the full hands-on review.
Plus: Redemption for UMPCs
Due to early flops, the ultramobile PC started out with a bad rap. Powerful new models are going a long way to remedy that.
Column: My BlackBerry Conversion
Executive Editor for Reviews Dan Costa held onto his smartphone, a Treo 650, for years before he decided it was finally time for an upgrade. In the end, he settled on the BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Sprint. Know what he found? RIM builds the best smartphones around. But why? Read his column to find out.
Review: An XP-Retro Multimedia Whiz
The Gateway DX442XP is a new twist on the $1,000 PC idea. Rather than spend any money on a discrete graphics solution, the DX442XP pours the dollars into the processor, memory, and even the Windows XP Pro operating system. Check out our hands-on review to learn more.
Bargain Hunt: iPod Speaker Docks
It's a pretty safe bet these days that with the bulk of your music on an iPod or other MP3 player, picking up a speaker dock is the right move. These four, for example, earned top ranks for sound quality and design--and now are cheaper than ever. Read all the reviews on PCMag.com and start shopping.

Ulanoff: I'll Reboot if I Want To
We all know we're not supposed to do a hard reboot on our computers and that we're supposed to shut them down using the proper commands. But sometimes, as Lance Ulanoff points out, we don't really have a choice in the matter. What harm can it do, really? Read Lance's column for more on the conundrum.
Security Watch: Remote Execution Bug in Skype
