Feature: The Apple iPod Evolution
No other MP3 player on the market comes close to the Apple iPod's features, interface, and ease of use. And my, has it grown. In honor of the iPod's 5th birthday, here's a look at PC Magazine's reviews of the popular music player over the past several years.
Review: Watch TV Anywhere with Slingbox Pro
The Slingbox Pro works just like its predecessor: It puts a virtual version of your own television on any Microsoft Windows XP/2000 computer, handheld, or smartphone with an Internet connection. What's different about this version is that its video quality is improved, and if you're short on video outputs and don't want to use one for the Slingbox Pro, it can pass the signal from your cable/satellite box through to your television. Does it offer an HD connection? Find out in our review.
