Polished Apple Office Suite Shines
With iWork '08, Apple finally offers a software suite that presents Microsoft Office with a serious challenge for dominance on the Macintosh desktop. Unlike freeware suites, iWork isn't an Office clone but a true alternative to Office—a graphics-centric suite in which all three programs are essentially graphics applications in which you position objects such as text, spreadsheet tables, and presentation slides on a drawing canvas. Read the full review on PCMag.com to learn more about iWork's new features and MS Office compatibility.
PDFs at Any Price
If you need a guarantee that others will be able to read your digital docs, you need a PDF creator. PDF software comes in three categories: readers that display existing PDF files; creators for translating files from other formats into PDF; and editors (which always include the ability to read and create PDFs). The hair to split in most cases is how much each product—each with its own functionality—will cost. We bring you reviews of four products and tell you what they do.
A Powerful Mainstream PC, for Less
The mainstream Gateway DX430X, which can be bought for less than $1,500 including a monitor, is a leap above its eMachines brethren. In fact, it does things that last year's high-end $4,000 systems did. Learn more in our hands-on review.
Biz-Card Scanners to Go
No matter what sort of business you're in, you more than likely collect business cards constantly--be they from clients, vendors, associates, or friends. And what happens to those cards? The end up piled on our desks or tucked in a drawer waiting to be entered into our contact databases. Business card scanners can speed up the job of converting business cards into searchable contact information. Give one of these three a try.
Sprint's Juicier BlackBerry
Sprint's version of the BlackBerry is actually better than Verizon's! It has more software, GPS capabilities, and the freedom of an unlocked SIM card slot. It's also hands-down the best business-friendly smartphone on Sprint's network for frequent travelers to Europe. Find out all the details in our in-depth review.
Security Watch: Norton 2008 Hits the Streets
The 2008 editions of Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security have been released by Symantec. A claim common to the last few releases, the new versions are designed to improve performance. Find out more about what's new and improved on the Security Watch blog.
